Is Longshot good?
Longshot's Special 2 applies the longest-lasting Fate Seal in the game at 12 seconds, detonating any buffs or Bad Karma on the opponent when it ends for huge damage, and his innate Ability Accuracy boost makes him especially strong on low-chance buff nodes in Alliance War defense. Any opponent running buffs is at serious risk, since Fate Seal can detonate them or, once he's awakened, steal them outright.
Incinerate-Immune opponents, or anyone who clears damaging debuffs fast, can stop him from keeping Fate Seal up, and non-damaging debuffs or getting hit while Stunned cost him his Good Karma stacks. A tier for a strong buff-punishing Mystic.
