Relic hunter Barbara Minerva paid a high price when an ancient dagger transformed her into the fearsome half-human Cheetah.

While on an expedition in Africa, amoral treasure hunter Barbara Anne Minerva uncovered the lost Urzkartagan tribe. Craving the powers of the Cheetah spirit, Minerva forced their priest to perform a magical ritual on her, but the god Urzkartaga demanded a blood sacrifice to complete the ceremony. By murdering her companion with a mystical dagger, Minerva was granted ferocious powers but also cursed with bloodthirsty appetites.

Legendary Order

3-1-4-2/5

Cheetah’s turn meter up is a great first upgrade, as is giving her a can’t miss basic attack. If using her as a team leader, consider upgrading her 5th before her 2nd, but otherwise save that upgrade for last.

Cheetah speeds up all allies, but those who can assist her in spreading bleeds will get the most out of her. Consider pairing her with allies like Siren or Lobo.

Siren, Lobo, Chemo, Dr. Poison, Kid Flash

Notes

Cheetah is a highly accessible character that brings heavy power, especially in early stages of the game. Cheetah and fellow bleeders can help take down high health targets, even ones above their weight class, thanks to Bleeds doing percentage based damage.
