Elba: The Love Trap You Can't Dispel
"Elba is a walking paradox: she dares you to dispel her buffs. If you do, she heals her team for a massive amount. If you don't, her counterattack punishes you. Is this unique 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' mechanic enough to keep her relevant in today's high-stat meta? Read our full review."
