She’s great, and until I got Iris and Xiahou Dun I used her a lot in my mono Blue. I still use her every war.

I’m just here to show some love to an oldy-but-goody. :heart_eyes:Anyone else out there still a fan of Sonya? She was my first ever 4*, so there’s some primacy effect for me, but also, her sturdiness was crazy back in the day, and with a fast debuff, she was useful time and time again. With the arrival of costumes, you can now get the cleansing from her other outfit too. Quite versatile.

Of course, with all the crazy OP heroes out these days, she may not seem as shiny, but I still use her when relevant, and she’s on my autofarm team.

I’m eagerly awaiting a second costume for her. C’mon, SG, give us the goods!

She got benched a long time ago. Im going to fed her away.

I don’t have her costume and if I got it I wouldn’t bother to upgrade it anyway.

6

still use her in costume - she’s my only Blue cleanser :stuck_out_tongue:

though the base form has been replaced by Xiahou Dun and Iris…

I LB2’d her in a surprising turn of events. I don’t have Iris and she (and Chao) were my only snipers for nearly a year when I started so I have a place in my heart for her. She’s also super useful as an offensive cleanser.

(I did get Seshat as HOTM but no mats to ascend her)

I’m thinking about resetting her emblems because I never use her…. Good idea or bad?
