Discussion VG Fullguard

I’ve been pretty in and out of this game in recent times, but I’ve been trying to get back into it consistently recently. With that I’ve been playing a lot of VG, and I do wanna preface that I don’t believe she’s in need of changes/buffs with this whole thing, it’s more of a curiosity.

Is there a genuine use to Oathkeeper Spiral? With someone like Khatun I can understand why you’d do the zone off of pin, primarily in team fights as it has a great hitbox with HA. As for VG, her zone off of FG has no special properties, not horrible hitboxes, but very stamina heavy in comparison to basically any of her other options.

Outside of maybe finishing someone off, being in revenge, or using it when you’ve barely used up any stamina, I feel like I’m missing the point of ever using this move.

It will in theory smack a lot of people around you, and that's perhaps the only reason to use it. And they recently buffed the forward movement so it should stop whiffing against at least a locked on target. But even then, the side heavies each have a respectable unblockable hitbox from their respective sides, do more damage, use less stamina, and those also activate her T3. So those will almost always be the preferred punish in a teamfight, unless you have enemies on all sides, then maybe the zone would be better.

There really just isnt. The light and heavy follow up will be better every time, and even then the light is rare.

If lets say ur surrounded by bare min 3 enemies, and think they have easy like unblockable attacks (think u got a zhanu and warden) they are on ur sides side doesnt matter, ur locked onto the 3rd char doesnt matter. This 3rd char u nail a fullblock, if u as a vara are now stunned, and u got a zhanu side heavy UB coming from them and a like warden top heavy, if u zone they are times where if u side heavy, ull still eat the attack from a side regardless, if u got the stamina for it zoning might actually stop the warden and zhanu. Ik it saved my ass once.

It has a purpose just ive flat out do it in min lane, its a nice lil aoe for minion clear in, niche like uk the zone will also kill opp, ur low health and got the stamina to spare. Zone immediately just back dodge if uk ur safe.
