She’s great, and I love being able to switch between cleanse and dispel as needed. I use Sonya daily until now.

like with Caedmon and Domitia, I find both versions equally useful - really depends on whether cleanse or dispel is needed.

[JGE]

I have used this hero along with c.Caedmon so much.
The classic hero in the early days was invaluable.
Then the emblems came and now LB.
I continue to use her in 4* tournaments and she is a valuable hero.
However outside of “tournaments” she doesn’t get used that much other than in the Towers.

[H.V]

Well, I use her (or c.Caedmon, depending on enemy colors) in my main raid attack team. Fast sniper with cleanse is more useful than my other blue and green cleansers (Raffaele, c.Yunan), even if weaker.

[Frans3000]

She has fast cleansing skill and druid class. Worth for bloody battle tourney. Wing or flank is good for her.

[Hyakuman]

Is there ever going to be a second costume for Sonya?

[sleepyhead]

I think one is either being tested in beta, or expected for testing, now.

All the original 4* will eventually get a second costume

[PlayForFun]

Yes, there is one tested in Beta for her.
It will arrive in the next Costume Chamber event on November 23rd according to @Elioty33
