Is Moondragon good?
Moondragon leans on Critical Damage Rating for big bursts of Energy damage, especially while she's shredding Energy Resistance during Psionic Transcendence, and she resists Bleed, Poison, Power Sting and Degeneration damage. During Psionic Transcendence her Incinerates even convert into Passive Critical Incinerates, and she racks up to 25 Energy Vulnerability debuffs on the opponent in that window.
She's only immune to Reversed Controls though, so Energy-based debuffs like Incinerate and Shock still land on her, high Energy Resistance opponents blunt her mostly-Energy output, and building Psionic Charges requires an aggressive, risky playstyle that invites mistakes. B tier for a high-ceiling Skill champion who needs to play on the front foot.
Strengths
- Critical Damage Rating fuels large Energy damage bursts
- Resists Bleed, Poison, Power Sting and Degeneration
- Psionic Transcendence converts Incinerates into Passive Critical Incinerates
Weaknesses
- High Energy Resistance opponents blunt her mostly-Energy output
- Needs an aggressive, risky playstyle to build Psionic Charges
- Only immune to Reversed Controls, so other Energy debuffs still land
Background
After the tragic death of her father at the hands of the Mad Titan, Thanos, Heather Douglas was adopted by the Eternals on Saturn’s moon Titan, where she honed her latent physical, spiritual, and telepathic abilities.
When she encountered the cosmic entity known as the Dragon of the Moon, Heather adopted the name Moondragon after she seemingly bested the creature.
Over time she grew arrogant with her newfound powers, and came under the sway of the Dragon of the Moon, who had actually survived and taken refuge inside of her mind, seeking to slowly corrupt Heather throughout her mission to defeat Thanos.
Having to contend with the influence of the outer entity known as the Dragon of the Moon, Moondragon joins The Contest as one of the most powerful Telepaths in the Battlerealm.
