Prism

The Duplicator

Voice Actor: TBA

Description

Photokinetic support specialist and Z-Team wildcard with holographic manipulation powers. Prism's unique duplication mechanic fundamentally changes team composition strategy, transforming her from mediocre solo operator into devastating force multiplier. 'Excels at what she's great at' regarding social encounters and combat, combining high Charisma (5/10) with solid Combat (5/10) for diplomatic fighter versatility. Her photoionization converts light to solid constructs, creating holographic illusions indistinguishable from reality in combat scenarios. Critical positioning requirement means she MUST occupy slot 2 to activate duplication - deploying elsewhere wastes her signature ability entirely. Pairing Prism with stat-stacked heroes like post-momentum Flambae or top-tier Coupé suddenly creates 1.5x that hero's effectiveness without roster duplication. Low Mobility (5/10) and Vigor (4/10) make her vulnerable and slow, requiring careful protection and positioning. When properly deployed with strong left-side heroes, Prism transforms two-hero operations into powerhouse combinations.

Special Ability

Doppelganger Illusion - When dispatched in slot 2, creates holographic duplicate of the hero to her left with half their stats. Photokinesis allows conversion of light into solid constructs, enabling tactical redundancy without requiring duplicate heroes.

Strengths

  • Force multiplier creates 1.5x hero effectiveness
  • Photokinesis and holographic manipulation
  • High Charisma (5/10) for diplomatic missions
  • Solid Combat (5/10) capability
  • Amplifies stacked heroes exponentially
  • Tactical redundancy without duplicate roster
  • Light manipulation powers

Weaknesses

  • MUST be in slot 2 or ability wasted
  • Weak solo performance
  • Low Mobility (5/10) limits speed
  • Low Vigor (4/10) vulnerability
  • Entirely dependent on left-side pairing quality
  • No unique value when deployed incorrectly
  • Positioning-critical mechanics

Best Used For

Slot 2 deployment with strong left hero Amplifying stat-stacked heroes like Flambae Pairing with Coupé or top-tier combatants Missions requiring diplomatic combat hybrid Creating redundancy for critical operations Filling stat gaps with duplication Light-based or holographic scenarios

Advanced Strategy

The Slot 2 Rule (Non-Negotiable)

Prism MUST be in slot 2 for Doppelganger Illusion to activate. Deploying her in slot 1 or solo wastes her signature ability entirely—she becomes a mediocre Combat 4 / Charisma 4 hero with no unique value. Always verify slot 2 positioning before deployment.

Optimal Duplication Targets (Tier List)

S-Tier Targets:

  • Stacked Flambae (Combat 6+): Exponential power scaling—Flambae (Combat 6) + duplicate (Combat 3) + Prism (Combat 4) = Combined Combat 13 for devastating firepower
  • Malevola: Creates growth loop—duplicate heals original Malevola, triggering +1 Charisma/Vigor multiple times throughout shift

A-Tier Targets:

  • Punch Up: Unkillable Combat 4 duplicates to Combat 2 backup, creating overwhelming physical presence (Combined Combat 10)
  • Coupé: Balanced stats duplicate efficiently—reliable 1.5x force multiplier for "safe bet" missions

C-Tier (Avoid):

  • Invisigal: Wastes her Lone Wolf solo bonus—only duplicate if mission explicitly requires 2 heroes AND needs her speed

Duplication Math for Mission Planning

Formula: Total Team Power = Slot 1 Hero + (Slot 1 × 0.5) + Prism

Example with stacked Flambae: Slot 1 (Combat 8) + Duplicate (Combat 4) + Prism (Combat 4) = Combined Combat 16 for late-shift dominance.

This 50% increase (1.5x multiplier) reduces injury risk by ensuring stat requirements met with comfortable margins. High-stat heroes (3+) provide most duplication value—avoid duplicating low-stat heroes where half stats contribute minimally.

When NOT to Use Prism

  • Mobility-Critical Missions: Prism's Mobility 1 drags team speed down—time-sensitive missions risky
  • Vigor Endurance Tests: Prism's Vigor 1 makes prolonged operations injury-prone
  • Solo Slots: Duplication requires 2-hero deployment—reserve for dual-hero missions only
