Vela Hero Review
Vela is extremely similar to Zeline. The differences being their element, and the damage over time, and debuff.
Overall Vela has better stats, and better buffs than Zeline.
Vela in Offense
After the 31 August 2020 balance changes to Vela and Zeline have pretty much the same effect.
Both heroes perform a somewhat support role as their damage is not really significant enough to contribute to the fight.

Vela in Defense
Vela does not fit into the tank position too well because she has relatively less tanky stats.
However, she can be built to be in a tank position because her druid talent can somewhat provide a mini-heal to her. She is also able to significantly weaken your opponents such that your snipers will be able to take out your enemies with ease.
Despite the changes in the reduction of damage, Vela still makes a very potent flank hero.
She is able to buy time for you tank hero to activate a few more times (by reducing the attacker’s attack) and to soften the attackers for your snipers to take them out.
Specifically, the changes made on 31/aug does not take away vela’s capability to be a flank hero, but makes it such that vela is a suitable tank for any hero (apart from telluria).

Vela VS Titans
Vela helps with suitability against Titans, and the bonus critical chance to your Ice heroes also add a significant amount of tile damage.
Overall, not a must for titans, but viable to use against titans. (Unlike Grimble)
Vela Review After Nerf
Overall they have made vela less punishing against Red heroes (and enemies). This does not impact vela’s offensive capabilities or titan fights as much.
However it does make a difference in raid defense, mainly that vela is less punishing against red heroes, especially when the attacking team has a bad board.
Overall Vela is still highly viable for defense and offense and titan fights. Still well deserving of her A grading.
Vela Hero Rating / Grading:
Offence – B

Tournaments Bloody Battle – A+
