Review

Laika is a potent damage dealer with some novel synergy when paired with Felicette. 

Laika’s Alternium Reactor provides a significant boost to her damage, making her a competitive ranger DPS option across all game modes. 

It is worth noting that Laika does not need to be fielded with Felicette. Laika is strong enough as a standalone unit (and more importantly, Felicette is not good enough as a frontline tank) that the synergy gimmick is largely irrelevant.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- One of the most cost-efficient PVP defender shredders.

Cons

- Needs alternium reactor performance upgrade to compete with her peers.
