Introducing Painwheel:
Painwheel is the definition of a glass cannon in this game. She has the highest attack of all characters, however the lower defensive stats of them all, witch means you will be shredding health, but if you get hit by a combo, you are probably gone. A high risk high reward character!
Character ability: FLIGHT RISK
"Swipe up twice and Painwheel will take flight! While flying, Painwheel will EVADE some attacks and can rain death from above"
This is not the most useful ability. I have to admit, it has its uses like surprising your opponent with an attack that they can't avoid or dodging some things, but it also makes you really vulnerable and is punishable. It needs skills to use well.
Rarity: Gold
SA: HEMORRHAGE
This Painwheel is a monster. She can destroy squishy characters and snowball from there, becoming even stronger. Also, her heavy bleed helps dealing with tanks and dealing even more DPS. The only downside is that you can't stack heavy bleed, so it's harder to deal with VERY tanky characters. Still, the better one to go with.
Firefly - Rank A
Rarity: Gold
SA: SERENITY
This one is really interesting. Although I don't like SAs that requires you to lose health, 50% is not that much, and the payoff is nice. You can also heal back to keep re-using her SA and spam some Block Busters. The downside is, you need to first to get below 50% health, what might kill you.
Blood Drive - Rank A
Rarity: Silver
SA: TRANSFUSION
This one Painwheel is the glass cannon of the glass cannons. She can deal a immense amount of damage, however she does a lot of damage to herself, so be careful. You can still kill 2 or 3 enemys before her SA kills herself. Be careful, any mistake will be even more punishable!
Raw Nerv - Rank B
Rarity: Gold
SA: DEATH'S DOOR
Well, I can see if someone disagree with me in this one, but I feel like there is too much risk for a not so great reward. For you to get that enrage stack, you need to get really low, and being a Painwheel, anything will probably kill you. I just feel you need to take the initiative, and this SA is just too much of a "last resource"
Rusty - Rank B
Rarity: Bronze
SA: BLEED FOR ME
I really liks the simplicity of this SA. She's a bleed machine, and can counter some other characters, as converting Unflinching or Armor can sometimes be the difference between winning and losing. However, not every match up has effects to be consistently converted, also, she's a natural bronze, so she will never have all that great stats
Twisted Mettle - Rank C
Rarity: Bronze
SA: CUTTING EDGE
Well, with this one, you just have no chance against stronger teams. You will make them bleed for some, then die. That's just it, I have nothing else ro say. Maybe you can proc bleed with some Block Buster or Special Move and them proc her SA, but... You are better going with almost anything else
Rage Appropriate - Rank C
Rarity: Silver
SA: THIN SKINNED
This time we have one of the worst SA in the game. It doesn't really work against weaker teams since they can't deal 10% of your health in one hit, and against stronger teams they will just kill you if they removed more than 10% of your health in one hit. Don't invest in her, it's not worth.
Defining tiers:
S - Really good fighter, invest in it. You can't go wrong, few to no bad match ups, good stats
A - Good fighter, still worth investing. Has some bad match ups but still really good
B - Ok fighter, you can invest if you want. Wouldn't recommend, but is more of a niche pick
C - Bad fighter, don't invest in it. Weak stats, weak SA. Just don't waste gold with it
