Shathra is a Mystic Champion. Being a Mystic Champion, she has a Class Bonus against Cosmic Champions, but is weak to Science Champions.
Bio[]
Daughter of the Elder Goddesses Oshtur and Gaea, Shathra comes from the world that would come to be known as Loomworld. Shathra was tasked with creating the Celestial Map of Humanity, however, after being outdone by her younger sister Neith, she became enraged with jealousy and spite towards her sister and the Great Web she had designed. Consumed by envy and rage, Shathra gave into her feral nature to tear down everything her sister created, one Spider at a time.
Mechanics[]
Shathra’s core gameplay revolves around her Astral Eggs and hatching them into Astral Wasps. By performing Lights, Mediums, and Special Attack 1, Shathra builds up Astral Eggs and hatches them by performing any Special Attack.
With Astral Wasps, Shathra can sacrifice them to Power Steal from her Opponent to build up to Special Attack 2 to shred through their Health, leaving them annihilated. Killing Astral Wasps also dissolves their bodies into Vulnerability Passives, increasing her damage even more.
If needed, Shathra’s Special Attack 3 inflicts a long duration Stun, and Regenerates 10% of missing health in addition to all Energy Damage taken from damaging effects.

| 12.19 | |
| 32.37 | |
| 81.12 | |
| 162.64 | |
| 277.52 | |
| 704.89 |
Dev Notes: As a being of pure hatred dedicated to the eradication of all Spider-Totems, Shathra builds Vengeance when she defeats opponents, especially Spiders. This Vengeance increases Shathra’s Attack Rating and also allows her to create Wasp-Totems further below.
Astral Wasps
- Shathra’s Light and Medium Attacks inflict 10 to 16 indefinite Astral Eggs onto the Opponent, or 16 to 24 if they are Stunned. Max stacks: 500.
- Whenever a Buff on the Opponent expires naturally, inflict 3 to 6 Eggs.
- When Shathra activates a Special Attack, all Eggs hatch into 1 indefinite Astral Wasp each. Max stacks: 500.
- During Shathra’s Special Attacks 1 and 2, the Astral Wasps attack. For each level of the Special Attack, the Opponent receives +X Energy Damage every second per 10 Wasps.
| Tier | Energy Damage |
|---|---|
| 2.75 | |
| 7.29 | |
| 18.27 | |
| 36.63 | |
| 62.51 | |
| 158.76 |
- As a Defender, when the Attacker taps Block, they swat away Wasps, removing 12. If no Wasps are active, Eggs are removed instead.
Dev Notes: Astral Wasps are the core element of Shathra’s gameplay, managing your Wasps and Eggs to ensure that you have plenty during Special Attacks is the key to maximizing Shathra’s damage.
Sacrifice for your Queen
- Shathra has abilities that can kill her own Astral Wasps. For every 15 Wasps killed, their bodies dissolve into a X Vulnerability Passive for 12 seconds, paused during Shathra’s Heavy Charge and Special Attacks. Max stacks: 35.
| Tier | Physical / Energy Resistance |
|---|---|
| 61.66 | |
| 67.1 | |
| 72.54 | |
| 76.17 | |
| 81.61 | |
| 99.74 |
- Charging a Heavy Attack kills 180 Wasps per second to Power Steal 35% of a Bar of Power from the Opponent, granting 425% of the Power to Shathra. This ability builds up over 0.6 seconds.
- This Power Steal is removed when Shathra releases her Heavy Attack, runs out of Wasps, reaches 3 Bars of Power, or the Opponent runs out of Power.
- The potency of the Mystic Dispersion Mastery is reduced by 50%, but each rank increases the percentage of Stolen Power Shathra gains by +15% flat, up to 500%.
- Shathra’s fourth Light Attack kills 30 Wasps to Nullify 1 Buff on the Opponent. This cannot trigger below 30 Wasps.
Dev Notes: Shathra’s ability to sacrifice her Wasps to perform her Power Steal and Nullify is incredibly powerful, and allows her to jump up in power drastically on demand. While this is the safest out of a stun from the Parry Mastery, using Shathra’s Heavy to punish the Opponent’s Heavy and Special Attacks will be an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to shredding through opponents. Additionally, for indefinite Buffs that Shathra’s Atrophy will not be able to shut down, sacrificing Wasps to nullify Buffs will be a viable strategy.
Finally, regarding Mystic Dispersion, due to Shathra’s Atrophy, the Opponent’s Buffs can expire sporadically, leading to very unpredictable Mystic Dispersion Power that can be difficult to control. Cutting the potency of Mystic Dispersion in half in exchange for making Shathra’s Power Steal better in more general matchups was done to keep her Power under control more while still rewarding you for having the Mastery equipped.
Divine Wasp Totems
- Once per quest, Shathra can consume 1 Vengeance in the Pre-Fight Menu to place a Cross-Fight Wasp-Totem on the next fight. The next #Spider-Verse Hero to enter this fight becomes a Wasp-Totem for the rest of the Quest, gaining the following abilities.
- Poison Immunity. Whenever a Poison fails due to Immunity, gain a +10% Fury Passive for 10 seconds. Max stacks: 3.
- Performing an Evade, Auto-Block, or Miss starts a 5 second timer. If a Special Attack is activated while this timer is active, it becomes Passively Unblockable.
Dev Notes: Shathra’s Divine Wasp-Totems bring new life into older #Spider-Verse Champions, granting them new abilities through the ability itself and through Shathra’s Synergies. Tell me, are you one of us?
Signature Ability[]
Live and Die for your Ideals - Always Active
- As an Attacker, Shathra starts each fight with a Regeneration Passive, healing X% of her Base Health for each stack of Vengeance over 4 seconds.
| Tier | Health % |
|---|---|
| 2.47 - 3.47% | |
| 2.47 - 3.47% | |
| 2.47 - 3.47% | |

- Whenever a Buff on the Opponent expires naturally, Shathra has a X% chance to inflict a personal Vulnerability.
| Tier | Chance % |
|---|---|
| 20.01 - 50.01% | |
| 20.01 - 50.01% | |

| 20 - 80% | |
| 20 - 80% | |
| 20 - 80% |
- If Shathra is defeated while she has any Vengeance, she gains 1 additional Vengeance.
Dev Notes: Shathra’s Signature Ability bumps up her already strong Regenerative abilities to grant her Regeneration at the start of the match based on her Vengeance. This makes her incredibly powerful in Quests with numerous fights or if she needs to be revived. Additionally, her damage and Vengeance creation are bumped up to be even greater.
Special Attacks[]
Special 1 - Implanted with the Collective Consciousness
Shathra flies through the skies to implant her opponent with hundreds of Astral Wasp Eggs.
- On activation, inflict a non-stacking 70% Atrophy Passive for 20 seconds. This Atrophy is refreshed when Shathra performs any Special Attack.
- This Atrophy cannot have its Ability Accuracy modified by Cosmic Champions, and disables the Stand Your Ground Mastery while active.
- The final hit inflicts 300 to 350 Astral Eggs. As a Defender, this becomes 100 to 125 Eggs.
Dev Notes: Shathra’s Special Attack 1 is core to maintaining her Wasp count and inflicting her personal Atrophy. This Atrophy is incredibly powerful due to how easy it is to maintain and since it shuts down the Opponent’s Stand Your Ground Mastery in PvP gamemodes, allowing Shathra to really shred through Opponents with her Heavy Attack.
Special 2 - Violent Winds of the Astral Wasps
After becoming a cloud of Astral Wasps, Shathra shreds through her opponent relentlessly. They are nothing but bugs that need to be destroyed.
- On activation, inflict 5 personal Vulnerability Passives. If activated after the first hit of Shathra’s Heavy Attack, inflict an additional 10 Vulnerability Passives.
- If activated while charging or performing a Heavy Attack, this Special Attack becomes Passively Unblockable.
Dev Notes: Special Attack 2 is Shathra’s primary form of damage. Cancelling into Special 2 out of the first hit of her Heavy Attack will lead to devastating damage from the combination of Wasp Damage paired with the Vulnerability Passives. Depending on the matchup, however, tossing the Special 2 for its Unblockable to get you out of a sticky situation is also incredibly powerful.
Special 3 - A Place without Remorse
Shathra brings her opponent to the Great Nest to destroy all that remains of them.
- As an Attacker, this Special Attack cannot be activated unless Shathra is charging a Heavy Attack.
- Gain a Regeneration Passive, healing 10% of missing Health over 8 seconds. This also recovers 100% of missing Health caused by Energy Damage from damaging effects.
- Inflict a Stun Passive for 3.5 seconds.
Dev Notes: Shathra builds a lot of Power, and since her Special 3 is only needed at specific times, it made sense to disable it unless charging a Heavy Attack. This Special specializes in Regeneration and Stunning the opponent, allowing for a moment to charge heavy for an extended period of time or to perform 2 full combos, inflicting a large amount of Astral Eggs.
Synergy Bonuses[]
Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Strengths[]
- Powerful and Potent Power Steal
- Shathra can command her Astral Wasps to sacrifice themselves for on demand Power Steal with her Heavy Attack, this Power Steal is incredibly powerful, allowing Shathra to quickly jump up in Power as long as she has Wasps to kill.
- Opponent Buff Management
- Shathra’s Atrophy is activated with her Special Attack 1 and will drastically reduce the durations of the Opponent’s Buffs. This Atrophy is relatively easy to upkeep due to refreshing when Shathra activates a Special Attack. Consuming Wasps with Shathra’s fourth Light Attack will also perform a Nullify to keep indefinite Buffs in check.
- Incredible Regeneration Capabilities
- Shathra has multiple forms of Regeneration in her kit. Her Special Attack 3 will recover missing health as well as all damage taken from Energy Damage, providing a ton of value when just before ending the fight to recover all Energy Damage taken up until then. Additionally, Shathra’s Signature Ability simply grants her Regeneration at the start of the fight as an Attacker. Making her incredibly effective in Quests with numerous fights.
- Creation of the Wasp-Totems
- Once Shathra wins one fight, she can convert #Spider-Verse Heroes into Wasp Totems to grant them additional abilities. Certain Spider-Verse Champions gain even more abilities through Synergies as well.
Weaknesses[]
- Energy Damage Mitigation
- A large portion of Shathra’s damage comes from the Energy Damage of her Astral Wasps during Special Attacks. Shathra may struggle to annihilate opponents quickly who have Energy Resistance or similar abilities.
- Reliance on Power Steal
- The trickiest aspect of Shathra’s kit is the fact that her Power Steal is in fact, a Power Steal, meaning using her Heavy Attack to punish Opponent’s Special Attacks is only largely viable if they have excess Power to Steal. This can be mitigated with the True Queen of the Hive Synergy.
- Blocking
- While fighting Shathra, her Wasps can deal some damage if you are struck with Basic attacks or Shathra’s Special Attack 1. Quickly spam block to swat away Wasps to remove them as soon as possible before they get out of control.
Recommended Masteries[]
- Mystic Dispersion
- While Mystic Dispersion has its potency decreased, it increases the potency of the amount of Power Gained via Power Steal drastically. This grants her a bit more Power in more general matchups while still keeping her incredibly powerful against the Buffed-up threats found in the Cosmic class.
- Parry / Stupefy
- While everyone has Parry, Shathra loves striking her Opponent while they are stunned, so be sure to take advantage of this mechanic. Additionally, Shathra has increased Block Proficiency to minimize damage taken.
Recommended Relics[]
- Scarlet Witch
- While no Relics specifically target Shathra’s core abilities super well, the existence of a Relic allows Shathra to use her Heavy attack much more frequently. Additionally, the Amplify Buff gained from the Scarlet Witch Relic will also juice up her Power Steal even more.
