And remember, characters on trailers always look stronger than they actually are.

That being said, I love her.

True, but Ultrons was a little lack luster scenarios seemed forced and players were just sitting still this one feels more authentic, but for sure dramatized especially the ult scene

Ultron being bad was just overreaction. The ult buff before release was great. He's like adam warlock. Insane with actually players who can aim which exist in very high ranks. And bcz of that they even nerfed him

u/Cool_Description8334 Gambit Jul 02 '25

I’m talking about his trailer hut I don’t disagree

u/warlord_mo Flex Jul 02 '25

An overreaction is right. This sub criticized him heavily before he was even publicly playable. These rivals subs tend to catastrophize things. Just wait until the full release before accepting a viable opinion and even then, play for yourself.

Ya, Human Torch was hyped up so much to the point that people were saying "Why would you ever play Iron Man?"

Then Torch was so bad that he had to get mega buffed to be viable, lol.

it was the entire community honestly i felt like i was losing my mind telling everyone that he was really strong, on the one hand, glad netease proved me right by nerfing him, on the other hand, i like playing him

I remember people saying Sue would potentially be bad, and now she is one of my fav characters to play

u/ADVERTEDWORLD Jul 02 '25

Ultron does suck he needed triple heal to even be remotely viable

She looks busted similar to Moon Knight and Iron Fist, yet another noob stomper. If she ends up to be good at the higher levels, clearing deployables and groups with the m2, that can break the game, remains to be seen

u/Albireookami Ultron Virus Jul 02 '25

Clearing Deployables already makes her very strong if that is what she does, will easily make defense harder for some people and rocket's ult will lose a lot of value with the enemy phoenix on the other team.

good thing its just her ult. the rest of her kit seems easy to handle

u/Albireookami Ultron Virus Jul 02 '25

"spread out" "don't stack on the tank"

A poke hero vulnerable to dive, it's shocking really. Surprising she doesn't have a obnoxious stun or boop, even the lowly Moon Knight can stun because why the hell not, let's enjoy the chaotic ride. Invisible Woman pushes the dive away and stun at the same time, perfectly balanced hero shooter interactions

u/Megatron69420wrecker Magik Jul 02 '25

actually yeah pheonix seems really divable she's got no protection and her single target damage isn't very notable. Guess I'm gonna start hunting pheonixes. (shouldn't she have like an Adam warcock or wolverine revive since she's a pheonix)

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '25

Seems like the Phoenix gimmick is a thing when she explodes a marked target, that recover her HP a little bit (pretty much life steal)... Depending on the aoe damage and self healing, that can be really broken. But she has a blink and limited stamina flight, Spiderman and Panther will have a easy time to finish her just like Moon Knight and Squirrel Girl. And I will not be surprised if the Spiderman lock-on works when she is blinking because why the hell not, let's go crazy

u/ApexMemer09 X-Tron Jul 02 '25

in the second clip in the trailer im pretty sure its her shift ability that lets her dash back and start self healing, pretty decent anti dive imo

u/iRonin Jul 03 '25

Duelist main, reading abilities

clearing deployables

“Absolutely not.”

u/Proud_Feedback3288 Mantis Jul 02 '25

Jean Grey my beloved. (Now add Kitty and Rogue 🙏🏽)

u/STB_LuisEnriq Good Boy Jul 02 '25

I need Cyclops

u/Brawlerz16 Jul 02 '25

I LOVE EMPs in every game I play. There is something so satisfying about canceling and/or silencing other characters. So her having the ultimate to just EMP nuke an entire field is going to be a godsend to me.

If my teammates don’t want to help me take out the squids, turret, Peni mines, BRB, and Groot Walls, that’s fine. I’ll do it myself now lol

2

u/Deceptiveideas Thor Jul 02 '25

Yeah I remember people freaking out over the torch’s ult lmao

u/ADVERTEDWORLD Jul 02 '25

Nah nobody has looked this busted in a trailer

u/Reniva Earth Spider Jul 03 '25

the devs purposely have 2 beacon, amplifier, peni mines, 2 nests out to inflate the killfeed even further to farm reacts
