❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Malevola
Is Malevola good in Dispatch?
Malevola is B-tier - solid but not top-tier. Her Life Trade ability heals injured teammates (+2 HP) and buffs her own Charisma/Vigor, making her great for sustain teams and long mission arcs (Episodes 2-5). However, late game (Episodes 6-8) favors high-stat heroes over support, so she falls off. Use her when: (1) Multiple consecutive missions, (2) High injury risk, or (3) You need healing to keep weaker heroes functional.
How does Malevola's Life Trade ability work?
Life Trade activates when a teammate is injured. Malevola heals them for +2 HP (can prevent downed status). After healing, Malevola gains +1 Charisma and +1 Vigor permanently for the current episode. This buff STACKS - if she heals 3 times in one episode, she gets +3 Charisma, +3 Vigor. Best in multi-mission arcs (Episodes 2-5).
When should I use Malevola?
Use Malevola in Episodes 2-5 when: (1) Multiple back-to-back missions (her heals prevent downtime), (2) Boss fights with injury risk (she keeps team healthy), (3) You're using risky heroes like Flambae (healing prevents On Fire reset from deaths), or (4) Challenge runs with weak heroes (she keeps Waterboy alive... somehow). Avoid in Episodes 6-8 - raw power beats sustain late-game.
Can Malevola heal herself?
No. Life Trade only heals TEAMMATES when they're injured. Malevola cannot trigger Life Trade on herself. However, she does gain the +Charisma/+Vigor buff after healing others, making her stronger over time in multi-mission episodes.
Malevola vs other B-tier heroes?
Malevola is support-focused B-tier. Compared to: Punch Up (better tank, no heal), Coupe (better combat, flight), Flambae (higher ceiling, riskier), Golem (more flexible, less consistent). Choose Malevola when your team NEEDS healing/sustain. For pure power, Coupe or Flambae are better.
