"Predecessor" - Skylar Trivia Quiz

Answer: Carry

Skylar has incredibly strong damage output potential, making her a straightforward choice as a Carry.

Interestingly, Skylar has never been recommended for any other role. Yet, she has both incredible mobility and the ranged damage output to where Midlane suits her just fine.

Skylar is arguably the most self efficate Carry in the game, opening up a wider array of optimal pairings for her Support than most other Carry characters. This is also why Skylar can effectively operate out of the Midlane and could even approach the Offlane as a remote possibility.

Yet, she is still quite fragile and her options to escape can easily be exhausted or even taken advantage of, which likely explains why Omeda Studios has only recommended her as a Carry.

Answer: Basic Attack Power

As a Carry character, Skylar is unsurprisingly best at dishing out pain with Basic Attacks. Where her stat layout is slightly unusual is that she has an incredible 6 for Mobility, far outclassing her fellow Carries. There isn't really any sort of drawback to this either, as Skylar's Ability Power is on par with the others and her Durability is just as poor as any other Carry.

Answer: They explode

The explosion is not very large nor does it deal too much damage. But this does help tremendously with Skylar's wave clear in particular. Skylar's wave clear for a Carry is not bad to begin with, but help in general is certainly welcome. As well, this can really help Skylar if chosen for the Midlane, where opposing traditional Midlaners naturally have really strong wave clear.

Answer: Skylar's Attack Speed is fixed, and cannot speed up or slow down

On paper, this may make Attack Speed items seem worthless. In actuality, they are more valuable than ever, as Attack Speed is simply converted into Physical Power when Hypercharge is activated. As such, Skylar players really want to build Attack Speed as to make Hypercharge as nasty as can be.

Answer: Slow

The Slow doesn't last very long, but the value in it is actually rather nasty. This can actually be used to try and escape or rush down a foe just because the Slow value is high enough. With Skylar being able to move effectively, this can be really useful.

Answer: 3.75 seconds

It is important to note that, once the duration expires, even if Skylar has not hit the ground yet, she will begin to simply plummet as if it was anyone else.

Air Assault is squarely the one thing making Skylar worth using outside of the Duo Lane, as this can clearly be used as a mechanism to escape a tough situation.

Having said that, Skylar's traversal speed midair is quite slow. So, if in the face of a ranged opponent, they will be able to shoot her back, more easily at that, as she fires upon them from above. Skylar can't take too many hits, so players should be very mindful about the risk, and not just the reward, of using Air Assault.

Answer: "Sayonara, suckers!"

Sayonara is a Japanese phrase, translating literally into "goodbye". In Japanese speaking parts of the real world, people will typically use this word if saying a permanent goodbye to someone, as opposed to a less formal 'see you later' manner of phrasing.

Needless to say, getting vaporized by Atomiser would generally be a permanent goodbye, if this wasn't a video game. So the word clearly fits.

Answer: Reduced cooldown

A cooldown reduction of 3.5 seconds is pretty nice, and is a value strong enough to remain relevant even in the late game when Skylar will have built some Ability Haste. As such, this is one of those 'safe' Augments that's generally hard to go wrong with.

Answer: Skylar's Range

The exact added value is 12%, which definitely can come in useful. However, most enemy Carry characters such as Sparrow, Murdock and Revenant have readily available ways to easily make up the range. This extends to the Midlane as well and, should Skylar be used in the Offlane, her range won't matter terribly much to enemy melee characters anyway as they're not going to simply sit there and let themselves get shot, either fleeing or aggressively approaching Skylar to make the 12% fairly useless. As such, this is definitely Skylar's weakest choice for an Augment.

Answer: Three

On one hand, each Atomiser shot's damage will now be cut in half. On the other, three shots fired technically means Atomiser will now simply deals 50% more damage. However, the obvious catch here is that all three shots would have to land, and there's a very reasonable chance that they won't.

As such, this Augment would be fantastic for experienced Skylar players, who are confident in their ability to consistently hit at least two, if not all three Atomiser shots. It can really help in team fights as well, where Skylar could instead choose to spread the damage out with a different target for each shot.
