Wya was touted as an exciting pickup for the Charge at the start of the season, but rarely saw play time this year. Like neptuNo, Wya had issues with his visa once COVID-19 became a global pandemic. Krystal was a mid-season addition that shocked plenty of fans of both the Charge and the Spark. Krystal remained on the bench for the season, as the Charge attempted to figure out the best way to utilize the former Spark DPS.
