Indigo - 1 Rework - Early Thoughts

💬 Discussion

I have mine at L4, lvl 80. Gear 10, fully ringed. So far, not impressed. She's better than she was before, but I am not seeing her as a hard counter for disease. She's very squishy. She can help keep your team alive if you can protect her, but I don't think she's pulling her weight yet. Maybe if I invest more resources, but I'm skeptical based on what I have seen so far?

Anyone having a better experience with her?

​

Edit: This was pre bug fix. Maybe she'll be more impressive now.

Weird that you got her to max level but gear on level 10

Best waiting to raid to take her to g11 so you get raid battles

Fair enough, I'm gonna be getting my black lightning to g11 this week =]

Lots of greens to gear lately. Probably get her to g11 soon.

Fair enough, I can't think of many characters that will pull their weight whilst undergeared tbh

I'm not sure increasing her gear is going to help her all that much. It'll make her tankier and hit a little harder, but her kit is still her kit.

G10-G11 is a HUGE difference though…

Can’t really judge at G10. “She’s very squishy” when she’s missing like 10k HP and resistance from the G11 mats, lol.

I think she’s good

I hope you're right. Obviously finishing her gear will make her better, but is she worth the investment? Is she going to live up to the hype as a meta-shifting rework? The answer to the first question is probably yes. The answer to the second isn't looking so good.

I ran her a few more times after the bug fix and she's still not doing much. It's not even that she's squishy. She has one job and she's not doing it very well. I'll gear her the rest of the was during Raid but this feels more like a kit issue than stats. Hope I'm wrong because I really want a good Trigon counter.

On that we agree, I don’t think she’ll be meta shifting, but it’s early to say. She’s good at what she does but sadly the amount of debuffs the enemies give nowadays are more than what we can purge or transfer. She most likely will need another toon supporting her job kinda like Ultraman-Poison Ivy.

That sounds right. She's improved obviously. I am guessing she will end up as a low A/high B niche anti-disease character. Some have called her a hard counter for disease, and I think we can safely says she's not that. Being a green, I think she'll be more useful against Cheshire than Trigon, but Cupes already has that covered. Maybe Molly will give us the ammo we need to end this miserable meta.

To be honest Indigo is hard countering the previous disease toons like Captain Atom or Punchline, but in a softer way for the current ones cause they are stupid. In that matter I’m not liking that we are again in the direction of releasing toons that counter specific characters but renders others useless or worse instead of just nerfing the problem.

However the now fully fixed Cheshire is much more balanced than before and many toons take care of her, and once Cupes and Trigon are fixed, we can judge better.

Agreed with your tier ranking for Indigo

Do you think, overall, she’s better than Mary?

1
Windigroo7Orchard Sanctuary Main Leader•

They are completely different toons so can’t really say one is better than the other

I get that. Makes sense! Many thanks! (Great stream last night!!!)

Thank you! I might do more for the new fixes
