Yup, you heard it, Solaria is a joke. Costs 10 elite points while having no mobility, no utility, being easily counterable, having a low health pool (all of that compared to other 9 and 10 elites). Orks can shield half of their army, Eldar can disable your entire army ( Solaria included ) while all you can do is try hitting enemies with your slow casting skills with indicators seen by enemies ( just lol).
Can someone restore my faith on this elite please?

you can moonwalk while doing absurd dps and those rockets can shred any elite to half hp. and you probably even know she has knocback ...got solaria lvl 6 and she definitely isnt weak

You can moonwalk while doing absolutely no damage compared to units capped to 250 taking you down in 4 seconds and those rockets require all 6 of them to hit to destroy a single tank, 3 rockets to destroy a signle marine squad while they have no knockback. No, she has no knockback on her rockets is there any knockback while moving over infantry? I tested the knockback on a private lobby.

but except that everything else seems right

9-10EP elites aren't unbeatable behemoths of doom.
I've took down Taldeer with a pair of shadow spectres and 3 Vypers, I've killed overextended retreating Solaria with similar composition.
It doesn't take much to counter them if you know which units to use and there is no way they'll survive 250pop army, so where is your support?
They are elites, they are potent additions to the armies, not the armies themselves. You'll use them stupidly, you'll lose them quickly.
