Review
May is a PVP-oriented frontline tank that trades survivability for utility. Of note, May differs from traditional frontline tanks in that she has seemingly arbitrarily assigned [Supporter][Soldier] tags.
In PVE, May struggles to generate value from her kit. While she comes with a lot of utility, none of it is particularly relevant in a PVE environment.
In PVP, May doesn’t see much play. In isolation, May’s Special skill is very strong, providing a litany of utility, but isn’t enough to distinguish her from her peers.
Pros & Cons
Pros
[Supporter][Soldier] typing avoids all the major Anti-X DMG% substats used in PVP, giving May much needed survivability
Special skill loaded with good utility
Cons
Abysmal evasion means she’s getting surefire by almost all damage dealers in the game, and cannot be fixed with evasion accessories
Power budget almost entirely concentrated in the Special skill and its lingering effects
Squishy in spite of favorable [Supporter][Soldier] typing
