Character Overview
I designed Jubilee to be a character with plenty of versatility to suit the different play styles we have as gamers. However, she excels at team support and this is the role that I designed her concept around.
I felt it was important to use passives as a way to expand more build options, for making Jubilee both a damage dealer and a supporter.
In order for Jubilee to be a heavy-hitter, investing in her critical rating will be key so Psionic Precision will be a must. Her Plasma Absorbtion ability and secondary resource will also help her dish out hefty damage when needed, and ensure that she's always able to be attacking without having to worry too much about her spirit running low.
Since she's fragile, boosting her movement speed and dodge rating with Olympian and Instigator will also be a good idea to keep her safe if you plan to keep her at a closer range to the enemy. She has a number of skills that allow her to either escape danger, travel quickly or reposition herself in order to avoid taking damage.
Now, the main draw to Jubilee would be her supportive abilities. Personally I like to play as support class characters, and with Jubilee typically shining while being in a sidekick or leadership role; I felt she was perfect for this.
I gave her abilities that few, if any, characters on the current roster have to offer in terms of support skills. Ranging from the ability to boost XP gain, to being able to share the rewards granted by her secondary resource. This design is one I had hoped that people who typically play in groups would come to appreciate.
So!
Thank you to everyone that has show support for me and my idea. I've been extremely happy with the overwhelmingly positive reception this Jubilee concept design has gotten, and can only hope that it will help ensure a place for her on the Marvel Heroes roster sometime in the future.
As always, feel free to leave your feedback, questions, and any other comments. I always like hearing from my fellow heroes in the community!
