Is Runaway the worst heroe in the game?

[Uhtred son of Uhtred]

yes.

I like it quite a bit. I use it it with pd, leper, and jester. I get dots of all 3 varieties with great piercing. Ironically even though she's basically useless against the Librarian, I still consistently beat Librarian in region 1 with this team. And then the snowball starts because there are lots of nice burn trinkets from the Sprawl.

She's great. Firefly is a decent ranged DoT that can hit the backlines, Smokescreen is a superb supporting skill, Hearthlight once mastered is great for a lot of hard fights and in general when you pair her up with the Leper.

And let's not even get into her later stuff unlock by shrines. Firestarter, Cauterize etc.

[HighLanderPony]

She's clunky at first but with some unlocks and a more mobile comp, I think she could do wonders.

I think she's one of the trickier to use heroes. Higher end of the skill floor.

Smokescreen+ and Controlled Burn+ are totally useless as boss killers and miniboss shutdown tools. Runaway is absolutely unplayable and awful with no redeeming qualities like self-heal, Stealth, and retreating movement together on a single skill, spreading DoT on several skills, and a flexible skillset that allows her to play at any rank against any enemy rank. They might as well not have included her.

Look at Vestal over there, though. Her ability to wait two turns to put out a 15HP heal? Amazing, and basically carries the game on its own. Her skill that only clears dodge tokens while doing nothing else? Couldn't win without it; totally puts Highwayman's Tracking Shot to shame. Mace Bash for when she is forcibly pulled to the frontline? I've never enjoyed slowly tickling an enemy to death this much.

^ The runaway is actually kind of OP tbh. The fact you can't just rip through the librarian the same way is probably the only semi balanced thing.

I'm sad I took as long as I did to try out Runaway, and it wasnt even that long, like my 4th run or something. I've only used her in the 3rd rank and she has always done amazingly. All of my best runs have included her.

[Divvu]

No

[Jelly Sandwich]

Occultist is probably the worst.

[Arhat]

Runway is only garbage in the sprawl

Just . . . wow.

Anyways, Cauterize is very easy to activate. Upgraded smokescreen is insane. Rest is good damage and can work in a moving team

[Exemplar Kyle]

Runaway definitely has her uses. Upgraded Smokescreen is one of the best debuff abilities in the game and can make for absurdly high damage on a single target when paired with a class that capitalizes on combo like the Hellion's main attack or Grave Robber's thrown dagger. And if nobody uses that combo point, she has a good chance of spreading fire to multiple enemies via Firefly.
