Olive in Conquest

The successful evidence peaks at stage 24, so the hero is primarily an early-progression or accessibility option in the current dataset.

The current composite ranking weighs stage ceiling, trustworthy lower-power performance, role utility, position versatility, raw stats, and generation ceiling. Olive 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.

Olive in Arena

Preliminary Arena projection

The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as damage vulnerability, backline targeting, area damage, and burst damage.

In Arena, Olive should be judged by whether the formation can use damage vulnerability, backline targeting, area damage, 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 Olive

The strongest trusted position in the current dataset is Back right.

Trusted winning positions: 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.
