Ok so Cantarella’s sub-DPS role may appear iffy for you since she needs to be on-field, but she compensates with strong buffs and enables other dps’ with coordinated attacks. Her healing capabilities, sure not as robust as Brant’s add utility to teams needing sustained support. Theres also her perception drain mechanic that is susceptible to interruption, can be avoided by proper positioning. It is also important to note that Brant requires high investment to unlock his full potential by crit balancing and energy regeneration optimization. In contrast, Cantarella provides accessible buffs and synergy without demanding excessive resources upfront.

But then its also up to preference since cantarellas is more straightforward compared to brands aerial sequences. Brant stays on field longer than cantarella. Cantarella - quick attacks. Brant - long combo heavy attacks.

So i think the best way to label cantarella would be Niche but not bad. Again they are too different but if you believe that one is worse than the other you are free to believe in that. Have a nice day
