Team Synergy
Good Teammates:
She works well with wind TeamAny AOE maps that need team shields and dmg reduction
The problem with Penny is that the defensive has diminishing returns which makes stacking Def not really useful. Going little HP does not improve your tankiness much, only option to become tanky is going with damage reduction since it decreases total damage taken.
