PAST SEASONS
S2: Sheik had a terrible start in Amiibo Wars. Debuting with the biggest group of new amiibos in Amiibo Wars history, it was difficult for them to stand out. Sheik was one of the few amiibos that really failed to hit the mark early on and hardly did anything notable. She lost most of her matches and landed in the Bottom 5 for the season.
S3: Season 3 was a small improvement for Sheik, but not much. She did manage to fight her way out of the Bottom 5, but he placement for the season was still pretty low. At this point I felt she was underpowered and ineffective. I was expecting her to always be a low tier amiibo that probably wouldn't make it past the preliminary rounds in later seasons.
S4: This season didn't go much better. At this point, Sheik has managed to take 1v1 games off some of the best, but she isn't consistent in doing so. With perma-elimination looming, her inconsistencies put her in a situation of an early exit. Though she continued to hold the same position as she did in past seasons, it looks as though she isn't making much progress at improving. She is, but it's very minor improvements.
S5: This was Sheik's proudest moment. Season 5 didn't see a lot of changes to the perma-elimination formula other than adding in a Challenger Series to fight for a chance to make it to the main tournament. With one of the biggest shocks in Amiibo Wars history, Sheik managed to squeak by in the Challenger Series by the skin of her teeth, making it to the Top 20. With the stakes raised, as well as the competition, Sheik really struggled right out the gate, being the first of two to drop into the Bottom 2. She prevails, really managing to ruffle a lot of feathers, taking games off of some of the greatest amiibos in the series, including the reigning champion, Shulk. When the numbers dwindled and the Bottom 2 turned into a Bottom 3, it was too much work for her to hang in there. Sheik made a big climb from her previous scores, landing in 13th place for the season. It was great to finally see her making improvements and doing well.
S6: With the last season going so well for Sheik, you can't help but hope she will continue to do well. In the Wildcard Preseason Event, Sheik was placed in a group with Mario. Sheik was the reason Mario didn't get a perfect score, as she was the only amiibo to take a game off of him. Aside from Mario, Sheik performed really well, landing herself in 2nd place for the group and securing her spot in the Challenger Series. Sheik is the true wildcard in Amiibo Wars, you never know what to expect from her or who she will beat. Her skills in team/group matches are among some of the best, so if she makes it to the Top 20, I'd like to see her go far.
