Analysis and Review

Soda is a character with potential but requires some effort to make her useful. Her S1 skill is a powerful self-buff that increases her Max HP by 13% per stack, up to 5 times, for 10 seconds. The problem is that it takes a while to do 180 normal attacks to activate the buff, and she needs to do it 5 times to get to max stacks. Additionally, during boss fights, it's hard to keep the stacks up since you need to hide behind cover or dodge attacks, etc. Losing the stacks means waiting for the buff to drop to get the healing effect again.

Soda's S2 skill can heal the whole team, but if her S1 skill isn't stacked, the heal is quite low. Even if you managed to stack it up fully and keep it that way, Soda's healing output is below that of Pepper, Rapunzel, and even Emma or Helm.

Soda's Burst skill is useful in PVP since it stuns nearly half of the enemy team and increases the stack count of buffs for Fire allies. However, in PVE, the two-target limit is bad and hard to make use of. In PVP, pairing Soda with Privaty can abuse the on-stun additional damage.

Overall, Soda can be really strong when paired with Sin since Soda has the highest amount of HP in the game (once at max stacks). If Sin duplicates part of it, she will get a massive heal/cushion that allows her to survive the Taunt. The combination is currently being tried by some Chinese players, and it allows Sin to be the first Taunter in the game that can actually Taunt the whole screen and survive.
