Hey everyone, it’s BUST here, bringing you a fresh episode of BATTLES WITH BUST. In episode 643, we’ll delve into the unique challenges and strategies when playing Vanessa in The Bazaar. Let’s embark on this journey together and explore how to optimize Vanessa’s gameplay.
Champion Analysis: Vanessa
Over the recent weekend, I dedicated a lot of time to playing Vanessa. While she presents a fascinating challenge, I think it’s critical to acknowledge her current weaknesses in the game. Vanessa lacks defensive skills, unlike her counterparts Pygmalien and Dooley who have robust defenses.
Understanding the Challenges
One of the biggest hurdles when playing Vanessa is her early game struggles. Her starting skills often don’t align with your initial item choices. For instance, if you begin with an aquatic item hoping to build a poison-based strategy, you might find yourself stuck with burn or weapon skills instead. This leaves your strategy scattered from the start.
Strategies for Success
To navigate Vanessa’s early game challenges, one strategy is to focus on high-impact damage items that can give her an aggressive start. Items such as the rifle and shark claws are worthwhile picks in the early game, providing strong baseline damage. This approach aims to capitalize on Vanessa’s potential as an aggro champion, aiming for quick victories.
Gameplay Adjustments
Another key strategy I explored was integrating items like the revolver and the cannon early on. These provide solid firepower, which is essential since Vanessa struggles to win in the late game. A quick, aggressive start can overpower opponents before they can scale up.
Game Balance Considerations
There’s a broader balance issue in the game related to Vanessa’s role. The optimal strategy currently leans heavily towards early game aggression or “OTK” (one-turn kill) tactics. This limits her viable strategies primarily to rushing early victories and hoping to breach seven wins.
Improving Evergreen Playability
There needs to be a more balanced approach to skills and item options for Vanessa. Perhaps ensuring a stronger link between starting items and initial skill offerings could help. Additionally, implementing a global cooldown on infinite combo possibilities could ensure more fun and varied gameplay.
Look Out for Game Updates
It’s essential to keep an eye on future game updates, as the developers might rebalance Vanessa’s skills or offer global cooldown mechanisms that could address these ongoing issues. Until then, focusing on early victories with strong, aggressive strategies remains the best path forward.
Conclusion
Despite Vanessa’s current challenges in The Bazaar, strategic planning can still lead to thrilling victories. By optimizing her aggressive potential and adapting to the roll of the game, you can carve a path to success. Let’s hope future updates will broaden her gameplay viability and add a few more layers to her strategic options.
