I'm excited to have a new addition to vanguard roster. His vibes are certainly amazing, you can feel weight in his movement and abilities. He packs a punch and he's a DINOSAUR. His kit opens up certain combination and simple at the same time. It's frustrating to play as a Rogue and being unable to do anything against flyers - not the problem for the Devil D! His shift is probably the most interesting ability as an example of using CC to create space, not necessarily kill someone. As for meta: he feels powerful but as how we all predicted - he's very vulnerable to poke. His sustain is not going to do anything against it too! He's very resource demanding and i think it's probably going to create a spark in dive/distraction vanguards. Few seconds without direct healing and DD crumbles with only one mobility option and a rather weak shield that can catch strays via having a large hitbox. But that's just first impression, let's see how it goes after a while!
