Is Quicksilver good?
Quicksilver needs to build Momentum through Basic Attacks, Dodge Backs, and Special 1 before his kit really comes online, stacking and refreshing Whiplash Debuffs along the way. Once he hits Terminal Velocity, a Special 2 doubles those Whiplashes and detonates them for big damage, and along the way he gets partial Stun immunity that lets him Evade while Stunned on a cooldown and phases through Miss entirely.
High Physical Resistance blunts his burst damage, Purify strips the Whiplash Debuffs he depends on, and a Defender who builds combo quickly can dodge some of his more annoying tricks, which is why he's B.

Skills
9Evade (Dashing or Stunned)
Passive100% chance to Evade attacks when Dashing or while Stunned. This ability has a 15 second(s) cooldown. Guaranteed Critical Hits ignore this Evade and triggers the cooldown.
Wither on Dodge
PassiveWhen Dodging Back, Quicksilver cannot be struck by Attacks. Whenever he successfully dodges an Attack, he inflicts a Wither Debuff of 35% Potency lasting 10 second(s). Max 3. Dexterity Mastery is replaced, but points in it increase the potency by 5% flat. When the Opponent loses a Bar of Power, pause all Trauma and Wither Debuffs for 10 second(s). Dev Notes: Quicksilver does not gain the Dexterity Mastery, if you have the Mastery it simply makes his Wither stronger. This means he never gains any personal Buffs, not even from the Dexterity Mastery.
Whiplash
PassiveBasic Attacks have a 35% chance to inflict a Whiplash Debuff, dealing 5646.5 damage after 12 second(s). Dodging an Attack and Second Medium refreshes Whiplash. The Medium, Light, Medium Combo or reaching 50 stacks of Whiplash causes all stacks to expire and burst into damage after 2 second(s). Delay pauses during the Opponent’s Specials. When Quicksilver would Evade or when the Opponent Dodges an Attack, 50% chance to inflict a Whiplash Debuff. When the Opponent Well-Timed Blocks, one Whiplash is removed.
At tier 7
Momentum
PassiveDodging Backwards grants 12 Momentum Charges, and basic hits grant 1 Charge. As a Defender, gain 100 Charges every 15 second(s) unless the Attacker gains 20 Hits in the Combo Meter by the end of this duration. Every 100 Charges reduces Evade cooldown by 1 second(s). At 300 Charges, Quicksilver cannot Miss and inflicts a Slow Debuff. At 600 Charges, he can trigger the Parry Mastery against non-contact Attacks and his Evade Ability Accuracy cannot be reduced. At 900 Charges enter Terminal Velocity Mode, increasing the Dodge invulnerability window by 33.33% and retaining all Momentum abilities for 10 second(s). While active, gaining Charges instead pauses Terminal Velocity for 0.25 second(s).
Heavy Attack
Heavy AttackDouble Momentum Charges gained for 20 second(s).
Super Speed
Signature AbilityTerminal Velocity duration increases by 0.11 - 5 second(s), and Wither max Stacks increase by 3. When 60 stacks or more of Whiplash expire at the same time, inflict a Stun Debuff for 5 second(s). While the Opponent is suffering from a personal Stun, their Combat Power Rate is reduced by 6.87 - 50% and striking the Opponent with Light and Medium attacks locks them in place and increases Quicksilver’s Speed.
At tier 7
Special 1 - Hypersonic Trampling

At tier 7
Special 2 - Beat Down
Special AttackQuicksilver compresses the beat down of a lifetime into a few seconds.

Special 3 - I am Speed
Special AttackQuicksilver becomes so fast that time stands nearly still and the Opponent becomes all but helpless against his punishment. Gain 900 Momentum Charges.
