Gameplay-observed tags
Vivian 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. Vivian 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.
Vivian in Arena
The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as enemy Attack Speed reduction, backline targeting, area damage, and hero-focused damage. A very small amount of direct Arena evidence exists, but it is not large enough to publish as a firm result.
In Arena, Vivian should be judged by whether the formation can use enemy Attack Speed reduction, backline targeting, area damage, and hero-focused 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.

- Trusted winning positions: Back left and Back middle.
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.
