Elite hacker, cyberspace surfer, THE MYSTERIOUS NETRUNNER LUCY, excels at neutral due to her high mobility and long range. Debuff the opponent with her hacking skills to unleash a complex offense!
Profile: Lucy turns heads with her mysterious aura and pastel-gradient hair, but her icy attitude keeps most people at arm's length. Information on her is scarce, meaning her identity and past are largely unknown. In combat, she wields a monowire – a whip-like cybernetic weapon capable of restraining and even dismembering enemies. Agility and hacking skills also serve as formidable parts of her arsenal. She is a netrunner based in Night City, a metropolis built upon the elusive promise of fame and fortune. While in search of information, she plunged into the Net on a "deep dive", a method of accessing networks used only by the most talented hackers. Then something bizarre happened…
The August 21, 2025 update will also bring the highly requested Ranked Match online mode, as well as the overall battle balance adjustment. In Ranked Match, players challenge opponents of the same rank in order to attain the highest rank of “Vanquisher”.
