Yea her range is pretty lacking. Her damage and other abilities are really good, it’s just that getting out of tight situations without cloak is pretty impossible as she’s so squishy. And it hurts to see a melee class so slow that isn’t a tank.
Buff her a little maybe, but nerf the uppercut helix mutation as well. That thing needs to be dealt with very fast before most peoples unlock it or we will see deande in every matches after galilea’s nerf.

Deande may be lower in certain area but she has too be. If she hit as hard as other assassins with her holotwin ability, she’d be OP. Increasing her damage will also increase her twins.
While her Ult doesn’t pack the punch others do, it is very versatile. It does require more set-up but it pays off. Being able to hit enemies and lock them up while behind a fellow player is great.
Learning to use her melee as an escape move is very important to do well as Deande. Sprint plus tertiary melee launches her into the air higher than any other characters jump and is what I think makes her a very dominant character
It’s probably because of her High Heels™ 
(I’m sorry but it always makes me laugh when a designer puts high heels on fighter characters. Please stop.)
I do agree that her ultimate seems really weird. The first few times I used it I didn’t even understand what she was doing. I also died a couple of times because of that. It’s basically a self stun, why would I ever in a fighting situation want to do that? Especially with such a squishy character! At least other characters can either move while charging their ult or they can start charging it in a safer situation…Though can she start charging it in stealth, I wonder? (probably not…)
Otherwise she seems super powerful though. In good hands she is a beast! Just a high learning curve.
Heh yeah, but at least in Deande’s case they put in her heels “Because she’s a classy lady!” instead of the usual “Because she’s a lady!”. Also, pretty sure she’s also the only one (Except maybe Phoebe because I can’t tell with that giant dress. Not that it matters since she floats anyways).
Indeed. The rest of her attire doesn’t look that battle ready either (since it really isn’t!) so it’s not that big a deal. Overall her costume is a little silly looking so the heels don’t break it, I’d say it’s quite fine.
If only! Now these on the other hand, don’t seem to fit at all… (I really have a love-hate relationship with Gals design)
Though only 2 characters with high heels out of 25 is pretty damn good. And but the looks of it, none of the DLC characters will have high heels either. I mean I get it, they look pretty and stuff, and while I do enjoy a bad ass character rocking it in High Heels, you really need to think if they really fit (as with all components of the characters design.)
I’ve not lost a single match on Deande. Seriously, if anything - she is OP.

They need to nerf her mutation with knockup effect, so it at least doesn’t stun you and only roots. Right now it is a perma-cc with some AS items.

Her ult is only useful for damage when your are in a one on one situation, otherwise it is the strongest mass CC ability in the game. Use it as such.

Deande is insanely hard to keep track of. She pops the holotwin, goes around your backs and focuses the healer with her CC, while your team goes in. And unlike every other assassin, healer won’t be able to do sh*t to her, while her constant jumps will make her a harder target for enemies to focus.

I’m finding Deande to be perfectly fine. Her mele could have a bit more circular curve and her ult about -0.5 sec charge but that’s about it. I don’t think people use her ranged enough or something but I’m finding nothing wrong with Deande. Don’t fix something that isn’t broken or It’ll get nerfed to the ground.
I don’t know, I’m looking at these comments and i’m trying to believe it, but I have yet to see another Deande do extremely well unless the team is just horrid. When there’s me and another Deande I’ve always done better, and when I play with another character against them Deande doesn’t feel as much a threat, just like Whiskey Foxtrot. Her ability to KO an opponent is good, but chances are once that KO is done you are found out and you cannot retreat again.
I will be the first to admit, her uppercut mutation is broken, I’m pretty sure they will patch that. Also Deande isn’t really hard to keep track of, I find her all the time, she moves so slow it’s hard not to see her slowy treading across the map like she’s short winded. I want to say maybe it’s just me, but I’ve played characters who players seem worse with more success (Boldur and Reyna).
Maybe it’s time to hang up the cloak for me and stick with Rath as my attacker.
I alway whittle people down with the ranged fans, weak and then go ham on attack. If the city doesn’t go in my favour I invis, run and the twin might even finish the kill. I always choose my fights on my terms. Also try on capture, if you can play Deande that game mode is the best for her (no distractions with minions). Hope this helps 
My limited experience is that against weak opponents, Deande is a monster. Against better players, she gets spanked often. I haven’t managed to make good use of her ult. Waiting to charge up while everyone is running fast around you is no fun.
Ult charge rate and mele swing need a slight buff. I haven’t played enough so I’ll see how I do even when outmatched.
It does thanks and I figure she would do better in Capture, I just really don’t like that mode as much as the other two. From what I’m reading in the comments though she seems to be better than rath but I do way better with Rath than Deande, mainly cause of his dash speed and his Ult. He is also not as squishy and combined with a fast dash/movement speed he can escape better than she can (once the cloak is on cool down). She just doesn’t feel really assassiny (is that a word?)
Maybe I’m just better with Rath? I don’t think so, but eh maybe I am.
They play styles are rather different and I feel Deande is harder to use, but if you can use her she is much better. If she gets a buff I won’t complain I love using her but I just feel like your not using her to potential. I feel a lot of characters that are marked as Advanced are relatively easy except for her and I feel that is what trips people up compared to Gal who is a character anyone can use with minimal issues Deande is just star in the distance and I feel like she is unsung in that aspect.

There is a Badass for everyone and maybe Rath is for you 
The only point I disagree with is the first, I main Deande as I did during the Beta and I’ve only used her juggle once. It’s predictable and there are ways around it, besides it makes you easily visible and reveals you to all enemies which isn’t really what you want as Deande. I never have a problem against Juggling Deande either, especially when I play as Deande.
That’s the problem and this is a common misconception surrounding Deande, she may be an “assassin” and she may be a Jennerit, but she is nothing like Rath and is not supposed to be anything like Rath or Phoebe or any other assassin. She is commonly treated as such and when she underperforms it’s not because she’s weak it’s because that’s not how you’re supposed to use her. The problem isn’t whether she’s underpowered compared to other assassins, it’s that her playstyle is very different but she’s played as though she is just a re-skin of the more familiar melee assassins.
The same goes for WF really, he’s actually a really good character but he’s too often played as though he’s a Mike clone (Mind the pun) which is simply not the case.

So i put more time in Deande and i realized even more so the style she is looking for but her basic functions just don’t allow that.
By far the is the worse assassin of the bunch due to short range, lower damage and attack speed and squisyness. It’s only when she gets the uppercut mutation is when she is viable. Other than that she has a tool for escaping out of almost evrry situation, but that same tool is also her go to option for damage
When playing deandr ive been killed while in my ult by various enemies or aoes. They need to fix her hit boxes and make her invuln when she is actually doing the ultimate, not the windup. Have been killed out of ult when it shouldnt happen. You have to stay still for the windup, why cant she be invuln for the actual ability duration.
Only other issue is the difficulty hitting with meele fans. Hitbox is terrible, have to be on their face to even smack them and if they jump around GG hitting em at all with the fans weird hitbox.
