No trusted direct Conquest win is present in the current raw dataset.
How Sophia works
Sophia is a 6-generation mythic Cavalry built primarily as a control skirmisher. The kit centers on damage vulnerability, confuse, area damage, and mark synergy.
Sophia's subtle rose-magic saps enemy soldiers' resolve, dealing Attack * 140% Area of Effect damage to enemies and confuses them for 1s. Confused enemies attacks all surrounding targets, friend and foe.
Sophia attacks with her enchanted rose, dealing Attack * 70% damage to targets and applies Scalding Mark, increasing target's damage taken by 6% for 4s.
Scalding Marks boost Sophia's Attack by 24% and allows her to Lash afflicted targets, dealing 12% increased damage.
Gameplay-observed tags
Sophia in Conquest
The current dataset does not contain a winning record for this hero, so practical relevance is projected from the kit and raw stats.
The current composite ranking weighs stage ceiling, trustworthy lower-power performance, role utility, position versatility, raw stats, and generation ceiling. Sophia 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.
Sophia in Arena
The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as damage vulnerability, confuse, area damage, and mark synergy.
In Arena, Sophia should be judged by whether the formation can use damage vulnerability, confuse, area damage, and mark synergy 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 Sophia
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.
