Vanilla

vanilla’s most distinctive contribution is the help that follows their fights. their damage and involvement give the duel-first approach some substance, while the extra assists suggest a player who can turn pressure into an opening for someone else instead of insisting on every finish personally. phoenix, viper, and yoru make for a loose toolkit, and that looseness suits a player willing to change course of a round. the trade-off is that their aggression can still leave too much work unfinished when the first plan does not connect.

years of appearances, from the 2025 challengers stages through wave and the fortress qualifiers, give vanilla the outline of a local mainstay. the fortress qualifier was the brightest recent landmark, tying the supporting value to a stretch where the rest of the game arrived as well. they are not a flawless star hiding in a flex role; the lower team results matter. still, vanilla brings useful damage, timely help, and enough adaptability to keep a round from becoming a one-person performance.
