How Margot works

Margot is a 4-generation mythic Cavalry built primarily as a control skirmisher. The kit centers on immobilize, area damage, dodge, and burst damage.

Conquest skill 1

Margot ambushes an enemy with bombs, dealing Attack * 420% Area of Effect damage.

Conquest skill 2

Swords can be used offensively and defensively. Margot has 25% chance of parrying, avoiding all damage from enemy attacks.

Conquest skill 3

Margot head-gouges the enemy (heroes first), dealing Attack * 140% damage and immobilizing them for 1.5s.

Margot in Conquest

The hero remains present in successful late-stage testing through stage 506, showing relevance well beyond a narrow release window.

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

The pattern is supported strongly enough to guide formation choices, while exact powers and private rows remain hidden.

Margot in Arena

Preliminary Arena projection

The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as immobilize, area damage, dodge, and burst damage. A very small amount of direct Arena evidence exists, but it is not large enough to publish as a firm result.

In Arena, Margot should be judged by whether the formation can use immobilize, area damage, dodge, and burst damage 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 Margot

The strongest trusted position in the current dataset is Back middle. Trusted wins also appear from Front left, Back left, and Back right. The result fits Cavalry’s flexible role, but exact lane pressure still decides whether the placement works.

  • Trusted winning positions: Front left, Back left, Back middle, and Back right.

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.

Who Margot counters—and who counters Margot

Strong or useful into

Helga — Direct counter Moderate evidence. Margot has an observed advantage into Helga. Most often observed with Margot in back middle, initially pressuring the enemy front right.
Howard — Conditional counter Limited evidence. Margot has an observed advantage into Howard. Most often observed with Margot in back left, initially pressuring the enemy front left.
team healing — Utility counter Projected evidence. Brings burst damage and hero-focused damage against team healing.

Threats to watch

Howard — Direct counter Strong evidence. Howard has an observed advantage into Margot. Most often observed with Howard in front right, initially pressuring the enemy front right.
Helga — Conditional counter Moderate evidence. Helga has an observed advantage into Margot. Most often observed with Helga in front left, initially pressuring the enemy front left.
Amadeus — Conditional counter Moderate evidence. Amadeus has an observed advantage into Margot. Most often observed with Amadeus in front left, initially pressuring the enemy front left.

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