Fab card for high defence protection decks. Essentially a permanent defender when your defence is high enough. I was using a multiplayer Silk deck like this last year, she would have fit in perfectly.

And with this, Victor Mancha is officially obsolete!

As long as your hero has at least 2 DEF, she can block most minions. But she obviously shines with even higher DEF. Build up your DEF enough, and she can start safely blocking the villain attacks. Obvious cards to include with her are Armored Vest, Defensive Conditioning and Innate Reflexes. Once she has 5-6 DEF, it will be extremely hard for the villain to damage her.

Use her with Hangar Bay to block multiple attacks each turn. Once you have your DEF maxed out, she can help you block for the table in multiplayer.

The only problem I see is that she has a weird anti-synergy with a lot of Protection decks in solo. If you're playing Protection and building your DEF, you usually want to take advantage of Unflappable for its card draw, but that's going to be harder if you're using Echo to block for you.
