Ava quick verdict

Ava is currently a projected flex damage dealer rather than a data-verified pick. The raw stats and tags point toward damage vulnerability, area damage, and self Defense, but no Generation 7 battle record is available yet.

How Ava works

Ava is a 7-generation mythic Cavalry built primarily as a flex damage dealer. The kit centers on damage vulnerability, area damage, self Defense, and damage over time.

Conquest skill 1

Some of the most visible colors can be the most poisonous. Ava's color bomb envelops an area, dealing Attack * 70% damage to nearby enemies every 0.5s for 3s.

Conquest skill 2

Ava detonates a corrosive pigment combo in the target's face, dealing Attack * 35% damage every 0.5s and increasing the target's damage taken by 25% for 2s.

Conquest skill 3

The right color combo will confuse enemies, granting Ava 75% increased Defense.

Ava in Conquest

Generation 7 is unverified in the current battle data. The projection uses stats, tags, and patterns from similar earlier heroes.

The current composite ranking weighs stage ceiling, trustworthy lower-power performance, role utility, position versatility, raw stats, and generation ceiling. Ava is not ranked from raw win rate alone because heroes enter the dataset at different stages and are tested with different frequency.

This page is a projection. It should be revised when direct trusted wins are added.

Ava in Arena

Preliminary Arena projection

Generation 7 has no direct battle evidence in the current workbook. The A projected label is a suspected performance range based on raw stats, the flex damage dealer profile, precise utility tags, and patterns from similar earlier-generation heroes.

In Arena, Ava should be judged by whether the formation can use damage vulnerability, area damage, self Defense, and damage over time before the hero is removed or controlled. Newer-generation raw stats matter more in direct PvP, but specialized older heroes can remain useful three or four generations later when their development and utility still justify the slot.

Best position for Ava

No trusted positional win is available yet. Based on the kit and class, the starting projection is Back right, followed by matchup testing.

  • No direct winning position is available in the current dataset.

The starting target map still applies: front left and back left pressure enemy front left, while front right, back middle, and back right pressure enemy front right. Retargeting then follows the closest valid target.

Ava strengths and limitations

Main strengths

  • Damage vulnerability.
  • Area damage.
  • Self defense.

Who Ava counters—and who counters Ava

Strong or useful into

team mitigation — Utility counter Projected evidence. Brings damage vulnerability and damage over time against team mitigation.
dodge — Utility counter Projected evidence. Brings multi-hit pressure and damage over time against dodge.
damage mitigation — Utility counter Projected evidence. Brings damage vulnerability and damage over time against damage mitigation.

Threats to watch

area damage — Utility weakness Projected evidence. When relying on area damage, watch for team mitigation, team Defense buff, and team healing.
self Defense — Utility weakness Projected evidence. When relying on self Defense, watch for damage vulnerability and burst damage.
damage over time — Utility weakness Projected evidence. When relying on damage over time, watch for team healing, cleanse, and team mitigation.

Named matchup conclusions remain position-dependent. A direct counter should be placed in the lane or slot that creates the observed interaction.
