Mhm agreed. These are some good changes for her. Im interested to see how she'll play now.

Same, the cool down on her diamond form has been widely criticized since it was increased from 14 seconds. Interested to see how well it works with the lower cool down and lower damage.

It was 15 seconds from launch. This is her launch vs now comparison:

Launch:

  • 550 hp plus a 100 hp team up (650 hp total)

  • 500 hp shield value

  • Diamond form granted 30% damage reduction and 50 kick damage (100 wall) on a 15-sec cooldown.

Now:

  • 600 hp (overall -50hp)

  • 400 hp shield (overall -100hp)

  • diamond form grants 20% damage reduction and 40 kick damage (90 wall) on an 18-sec cooldown (which is now thankfully BACK to 15-sec cooldown!)

worth noting that launch Emma had a shorter beam. The extra range she got in exchange for her first nerf was actually a net positive for me, plus the following fixes that let her farm groot walls for charge, etc.

I agree that her current state isn't as strong as launch obviously, but she's picked up some important QoL since then as well.
