Jen was the favorite witch of 87% of beta testers

We've buffed the others since then

Really? Because Jen is still the powerhouse of my team lol. Also, best wiztac costume

Jen sorta looses some of her luster the longer time goes on. At the end she's sorta my least used character as her action economy just isn't that good compared to the others who can do very similar things with less cost and have more specific utility abilities unique to them. Especially with banks dall and rion being very capable of getting to the other side of the map without needing windows.

I'm with you. My favorite by a considerable lead. But its a combination of personality, powers and outfits.

Not that I dislike Zan. But he's at his best when bantering with Jen.

[Spartan448]

I mean Jen is still very good, but it's a substantially smaller gap than it was in the demo. Especially in Chapter 3 where seemingly every other enemy is a Riot Priest that you basically can't shove around without Jen's melee upgrade.

[slimepuddle]

Jen is my favorite character but I'll still admit she can be a little less than impressive in the wrong circumstances.

Her WIZTAC costume being the best, though? Did you just come in here and ask for a fight? It's just a ski outfit! No personality whatsoever. Banks' tactical kevlar dress is clearly the best. She does her hair up with bones and everything.

Chain Bolt is insanely powerful. It was MVP for me in the final fight. She has great action economy with multiple ways to refresh moves and a way to refresh her action. Pushing people around just inherently has a lot of uses, both with and without windows.

If you put Jen alone in a room, she'll really struggle to get anything done unless that room is 98% window, but she has powerful synergy with basically everyone else, which is what makes her fun to play.

Predictive Bolt not very useful when the only enemies that survive long enough to need it are mostly immobile? Knock an enemy into it with either +2 knockback upgrade.

Death's Door not useful on its own? You know a gal who loves pushing people through window-shaped holes.

Not enough run-up to get a good Charge on an enemy? Refresh your move with Gale Grenade, or slap some knockback on them to get more distance.

Spore Bomb not punching hard enough for you? Knock an extra enemy into the radius, or better yet, move Jen in there herself (preferably after the friendly fire upgrade), refresh her move with her basic attack (which can be at anyone), get the bomb off, then move her to somewhere more useful.

While the other wizards have support abilities, they mostly just do what they say on the tin. Jen has some of the more creative synergies in the gang.

[Krag]

She is The defenestrator, of course she's everyone's favorite.
For me it's point blank Static Blast that sends the enemies 4 tiles back and movement refund. She waltz through the stages sending enemies flying through windows and allies across the map.

[Jacina]

Her chain lightning really owns that last fight, I slept on the upgrade with extra push, but thats what saved me bounce -> into deaths door -> win.

[An-Average-Araminty]

Jenn is strong out of the gate but Dall is an absolute monster after a couple level ups.

Friendly reminder that instead of moving enemies into predictive bolt path, you can instead move Zan with his predictive bolt already set up into crossing path with an enemy. Every character can move Zan, with the most notably being Rion's Impaling Vine with Quicksprout upgrade and Dall's Swap with Friendly Refund upgrade can both do this without mana or action cost.

Dall can work, but Rion will damage Zan with the attack, meaning it's not really sustainable.

But yes, that is an option.

[Grave Accent]

impaling vine doesn't deal damage to allies, unless it makes them bump into something.

[Big Mistake]

I just like her ability to reset movement. Real nice to seal a door and reach a safe spot in the same turn (granted I definitely felt the fall off too once unsealable doors became a thing)

Banks was easily my favorite by the end though. Infinite enemy to enemy transference is exceptionally busted, coupled with at-will defenestration, cross map movement, accessible AoE and unsteady.

Jen becomes one of my key setup characters in the late game in a very Into The Breach sense where she can use her mobility and spells to move enemies or friendlies around, or get herself or others into position for Dall to swap with.

Getting the angles right, static blast and chain bolt are both useful for nudging friendlies that little bit more to get their own angles or pick up mana, and gale grenade is just a great help for that last bit of movement.

Just a ski outfit? Are you mixing it up with White Witch? Jen's wiztac costume is a high-altitude pressure suit with military markings with a tactical harness and gizmos. The fit oozes utility and makes her look like a badass astronaut commando.

It's a skintight skiing outfit and she's wearing a ski mask to match. It is such a downgrade from her default outfit, the one that has so many neat little details. You can't even see any of her tattoos!
