Is Kitty Pryde good?
Kitty stacks Incinerates that gradually boost her Prowess potency, letting her spike hard on Special Attacks once fully ramped, and Phasing lets her dash through incoming damage almost any time, including Power Sting-style effects. Phasing into an opponent's Special even punishes normally undodgeable attacks like 
Winter Soldier's Special 2, and Recoil is a strong pick since Phasing during a Special cuts most of that damage too.
Cowardice strips all her ramp, and she has no answer to classic defensive tricks like Miss, Auto-Block or Evade. S tier for a champion who's very hard to punish once she's rolling.

Profile
Kitty Pryde's full name is Katherine Pryde.
Background
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde led the life of a normal teenager until she began suffering headaches of steadily increasing intensity as a result of her emerging mutant powers.
Seeing her potential, Phoenix telepathically coerced Kitty's parents into allowing her to join Xavier's “school for gifted youngsters” where she quickly became the youngest member of the X-Men.
During her adventures Kitty encountered and befriended a small alien dragon-like creature named “Lockheed” who quickly became her constant companion and travel buddy!

Passive Prowess
PassiveGain 1 Prowess each time either champion lands a Critical Hit or Inflicts a Stun effect. +2 against Guaranteed Crits or Passive Stuns. Gain 2 Prowess when intercepting a Dashing Opponent. Each Prowess increases Special Attack Damage by 5% and lasts until the end of Kitty’s next Special Attack that strikes the Opponent or their Block. If Kitty is inflicted with Cowardice, all Prowess are lost. While the Opponent is suffering from Incinerate, Prowess potency begins to increase by up to 400% over 40 seconds. This bonus gradually falls off while no Incinerates are active. Each time Lockheed prevents an Incinerate, the above Prowess Potency bonus is increased by 30%. Cooldown 0.8 seconds. When throwing a Special Attack, all personal Prowess are removed and reapplied through the current Prowess Potency bonus.
Phasing
PassiveDashing forward with 3 or more Prowess triggers Phasing for the duration of the dash plus 1.2 second(s) after, giving the Opponent a 100% chance to Miss. This is paused during Kitty’s Special Attacks. While Phased gain 4178.57 Critical Rating, become Stun Immune and take 80% reduced damage. While Phased #Robots suffer -20% Ability Accuracy reduction. Personal Debuffs and Buffs that are triggered while Phased become Passive and gain +20% duration. Each Miss caused by Phase deals a burst of 4132.5 Physical Damage and Kitty gains +3 Personal Prowess, these can stack above the normal limit. When Phasing expires, 6 Prowess are consumed for each Miss that Phasing caused.

Special 1 - Lockheed's Revenge
SpecialKitty kicks the Opponent back, giving Lockheed space to fly in and unleash a barrage of flames. The final 3 hits in this attack each inflict an Incinerate Debuff dealing 1609.5 Energy Damage over 3.5 seconds, reducing block proficiency by 50% and removing Perfect Block chance. Incinerates inflicted by this attack expire 1 at a time and are paused and refreshed while any other Incinerate is active. With 10+ Prowess, Incinerates will trigger through block.
At tier 6
Special 2 - Loyal Companion
SpecialKitty and Lockheed coordinate together to unleash a dual combo of lethal strikes. Each hit deals a burst of Physical Damage equal to 40% of the damage dealt by the hit. With 10+ Prowess, gain an Unblockable Buff lasting 9 seconds, plus an additional 0.25 seconds for each Prowess above 10.
Special 3 - Raining Fire
SpecialKitty Phases through the Opponent, causing them to sink into the ground while Lockheed blasts them with flames from the sky. Inflict a non-stacking Incinerate Debuff dealing 3915 Energy Damage over 30 seconds. When this attack ends, enter Phasing for 2 seconds, if Phasing was already active this time extends to 4 seconds.
