How to play Pearl
- Reward patient, strategic play — build up Heat before committing to engagements.
- Viable in Gem Grab and similar modes, though her overall ranked pick rate is low (best suited to specific maps).
- Heat Shield's damage reduction makes late-fight engagements much safer once Heat is built up.
