Nebula was the 12th Featured Champion, being featured for the month of August 2017.
(Nebula was available in the Monthly Calendar for August 2017.)

Nebula is a Tech Champion. Being a Tech Champion, she has a Class Bonus against Mutant Champions, but is weak to Cosmic Champions.

Bio[]

Cybernetically enhanced at birth and trained to win at all costs, Nebula is one of the Mad Titan Thanos' two adopted daughters and harbors a hatred of her sister, Gamora after a personal bout left her broken and reeling. Now she has been brought back from the brink of death and seeks vengeance against Gamora, but her journey to exact justice on her sister may reveal more about herself than she expected…

Mechanics[]

Nebula’s primary focus revolves around her utilizing her electrically enhanced weapons to inflict Shock Debuffs and control her opponent’s ability to fight back. Amp Charges, Heavy Attacks and Special Attacks give her various ways to apply consistent Shock Debuffs and deal large amounts of Energy Damage. Special Attack 1 causes her to apply Power Lock and Power Drain Debuffs on her opponent allowing her to attack freely without worry of the opponent unleashing their own counter Special Attacks. Additionally, Amp Charges lower Robot opponent’s Ability Accuracy, disabling any defensive abilities they may have in their arsenal. To wrap it all up Nebula has Immunities to several Debuffs and her Self-Repair Regeneration effects make her a difficult target to take down.

Amp Charges

  • Perform a Well-Timed Block: Convert all Amp Charges into Shock Debuffs on the opponent.

Heavy Attack

  • 100% chance to inflict a Shock Debuff.

Dev Notes: I try to Heavy Counter the opponent whenever I can to make sure her Signature Ability is on at all times and to juice out some extra damage while building my charges.

Signature Ability[]

Firmware Refactoring - Shock Debuffs

  • While the opponent is suffering from at least 1 Shock Debuff, Nebula’s attacks gain +X% Combat Power Rate.

Dev Notes: Extra power means more Special Attacks! Race to that Special 2 or Special 3 even faster!

Special Attacks[]

Special 1 - Electric Encore
Striking first with her electroshock batons, Nebula then forms them into a staff for a devastating second strike.

  • 100% chance to inflict a Power Lock Debuff lasting 1 second(s) per Shock Debuff on the opponent.
  • 100% chance to inflict Power Drain, depleting 12% of a bar of Power per Shock Debuff on the opponent.

Special 2 - Shock and Awe
Nebula puts some space between her and her opponent before unleashing a concentrated burst of electricity.

  • Nebula removes all personal Shock effects on the opponent. For each Shock removed this way, she inflicts 2 Shock Debuffs each dealing X Energy Damage over 3 seconds.

Dev Notes: Nebula’s tried and true huge damage Special 2 is still here, try to sneak in a few Heavy Attacks before you Parry to get some extra Shocks on conversion.

Special 3 - Galaxy-Class Killer
Death by a thousand cuts, faster than you can bat an eye.

  • Nebula gains a Weapon Overcharge Passive lasting 25 seconds.
  • While Active, Nebula has a 65% chance to gain an Amp Charge when making Contact with the Opponent.
  • While active, any contact with the opponent has a 75% chance to inflict a Shock Debuff.

Dev Notes: Her new ability to gain Amp charges while in the Weapon Overcharge is a great tool for racing up to that 20 charge Special 2s in those fights where blocking is a bit too scary.
