New Onyro's condemn mechanic is useless, but it doesn't matter
MAYBE if you are lucky, you will get one or two survivors worried enough to put in a tape and save you 30 seconds total in a match. Condemn, similar to the first version of Onyro, doesn't matter.
People don't realize that - like pig - Onyro has a near guaranteed "one kill" mechanic. Since you can't be bodyblocked when demanifested, you can (unless the unhook is within borrowed time range) almost always get the hit again. That marginal ability to (75% or 80% of the time) get "one more" kill than she already has in endgame what keeps her above 60% and drives the endless reworks.
Wasn't that true with v.1 of Onryo, way back in 2022? Yes, but since TV projection time is better (and condemn is a TINY bit more of a slowdown) she is in a much better spot. Its sad that her signature mechanic doesn't matter - she is just an insta teleporter that can't be body blocked - but she feels like a better Dredge and is fun to play (she is a heat seeking missile of death with Friends to the End, and I usually pair with Rancor for extra spice in the endgame).
EDIT: I should add that having 3 out of 4 purples that are actually beneficial (and the arguably even more powerful bloody fingernails at the green tier) really helps too.
