Ozilda the Wicked

Ozilda’s AoE attacks on her A1 and A3 open up the possibility of using a control set, such as Stun set, to double-down on her control capabilities. We expect her to be built with high SPD and ACC; the standard control champion priorities.

Master Seal is an incredibly unusual debuff: before Ozilda arrived, only the Isheth boss in Grim Forest had this debuff. Master Seal disables effects (but not stats) from Gear Sets, Masteries, Blessings, Relics, and Gemstones. Fun fact: they actually buffed this debuff to include Relics and Gemstones before it ever appeared on any character–it’s been in the game files since Cursed City released! This is obviously geared towards PvP (most PvE enemies don’t have these things) where we expect it to be one of the most crippling debuffs in the game–particularly for neutering enemy damage-dealers.

Adding this to: an active way of placing AoE Sheep; AoE Block Active Skills; Ensnare (another rare debuff which disables bonus Fill Turn Meter effects); and passive True Fear debuffs; she has a truly disgusting number of ways to control enemies. The only concern is whether she will be able to land these debuffs and effects consistently against enemies with Mercurial or Stoneskin sets.

Ozilda’s passive will synergise with any damage-dealers who also place Fear (such as Arachoa, Ma’Shalled or Fortus) as well as with any supports who place Fear (like Fabian or Lamasu). There are actually quite a few hybrid damage-dealers with True Fear, but they are rarely part of the PvP meta–perhaps Ozilda will change that?

Putting this all together, Ozilda looks to be a very specialised champion, bringing incredible control and offensive support to wave-based content (such as Grim Forest, Cursed City, or Faction Wars) and PvP, but bringing very little to boss fights. We expect her to be very difficult to pull, but to be an exceptionally strong champion in such content.
