Analysis

Review

Folkwang is a Burst II Defender who while having the ability to taunt enemies, focuses more on supporting allies with shields, increasing the healing they receive, and providing them with a Lifesteal buff.

Her kit sounds great on paper - a tank and a buffer in one? Sign me up! - until you check the cooldowns on her skills. Then all your enthusiasm instantly deflates. With her own damage being well below average - due to her being a Defender with 0 offensive skills - she has a hard time catching up to other characters.

If her cooldowns will be lowered in the future, she will instantly become great, but until then, she's just a lobby eye candy.
