Her DPS is waaaaaaay too high. Everything else is fine
hahahahahahahahahahaha
You didnāt see her in the CTT. Sweeping entire teams.
I found her DPS to be on the low side after playing her for the first time since CTT, not to mention her skill damage is laughable ultimate aside. She does however have hands down one of the best aoe slows via helix, but using phasegate as an initiation instead of an escape puts her in a lot of danger.

My friend who players her now goes 20+ and no deaths consistently. Itās not okay. She is waaaay too powerful.
He is a really good Phoebe then and the people you are playing suck. Phoebe is great at killing single targets, but she has no sustain. If you try to go up against more than 2 people at once with Phoebe odds are that youāll lose or have to blink out with her teleport. Phoebe is really balanced right now.
I super disagree. But okay. Sheās a tank AND she deals obscene levels of damage. I know the game is new and everyone thinks a particular character or two are overpowered, but I hope the devs make an exception and nerf the hell of Phoebeās damage.
Phoebe is an assassin style character who is retained to melee. If you play her right she can do well, but its also not hard to actually counter her if you play right. Current phoebe isnāt very powerful at all in comparison to the other brutes in the game, 1v1 sheād likely lose to an boldur/galilea/kelvin/rath, not to mention any caster with a high level of situational awareness.
Her entire design is to have high damage. Without it sheās nothing, so short of removing her entirely from any form of META I donāt see anything logical to do with this suggestionā¦
I could however go for suggestions of buffs on some of the weaker characters, just not a suggestion for a nerf on a mid-tier character.

I feel like none of you have actually gone against her. You canāt win. No one will win against her in a 1v1. She teleports away if a team approaches her. Iām actually blown away that no one agrees. If she has less health/shield sheād be fine. Sheās a tank and an assassin, how does that not rub people the wrong way? Also if you combine her with a medic youāre literally unstoppable (24-0)
This notion that ānone of you have actually gone against her.ā Is an interesting oneā¦ Oh well
-All I can say is, yes, I have gone against her. If I am just about anyone other than rath/whisky/shayne/montana/miko/mellka/marq/el dragon/caldarius (less than half the battleborn) I likely wonāt loose simply because her damage is too high, but because I overestimated my damage and escape potentials. Otherwise most of the time I actually wonāt have any major issue. She is an assassin so sheāll naturally counter certain battleborn. If youāre playing against her as a range character, I recommend staying out of phasegate range and poking her, sheās actually fairly squishy if you land some consistant harrassment.
The medics are a current discussion entirely seperate. All melee heroes and tanks need survivability, this is a fact, and when you combine them with healers this survivability gets a bit more extreme. That doesnāt mean make a non-healed melee character 1-hittable.

Iād say that at the moment(as someone who has naver played AS her) she seems relatively well balanced, sheās got a high dps, but her abilitys donāt seem to do too much in the way of actually damaging people. Galilea on the other handā¦I could go on for days about her
In my opinion, she seems fine. Iāve seen people wrecking with her and others not so much. It all depends on the player and what set ups you have for her. I like to use a full increase attack speed with her, and its very effective. My advice, be aware of your character strength and think whether you are capable of taking her out by yourself. Otherwise, ask for help from a teammate. Thatās what i do with Galilea. God forbid i face her alone.

Phoebe is possibly the best character for pubstomping/carrying right now. Her kill potential is extremely high against uncoordinated teams and she can destroy waves in literally 2 seconds (I once got 100+ minions and ~25 kills with 3 deaths). Perhaps this is why she seems OP to you.
However she isnāt unstoppable. Unless you forgo damage options in her helix she isnāt very tanky. Sheās an assassin and has the same counters as other assassins. Predict when sheās going to dive in and prepare for an attack. Retreat when you clearly canāt 1v1 her. Let your team know when sheās around, etc.
Iāve gone against her plenty. And she is my second favorite character after Orendi. It is really easy to get shut down hard when youāre playing as Phoebe. Yes her damage is high, but she dies very fast to make up for it.
one good stun and sheās gone. If you can catch her after she blinks away sheās also dead. Sheās a lot like Loki in smite in that sense where sheās really annoying to go against, but if you know how to counter her she canāt do much.
