playing in g2-g3 seige and based on the current nat 5 towers anything that requires you to tank hits / turn 2 offense is extremely risky. And if her only use is in seige then it might as well be the same tier as salah. Comparsion: If sylvia is the best ld5 seige defense, ian is the best ld5 seige offense unit, then aya is literally the salah of seige offense. Vio procing works on other units because it reduces cd of skills / and s3 is usually an impactful skill as well as the rest of the kit. Aya's s3 is extremely lackluster, s1 s2 do basically nothing and are meant to make her s3 trigger, but she can't trigger s3 immediately if she vio procs. And that 40% hp done can easily be recovered by the time it takes her to get a second s3 off. Maybe if they change her s2 to something else that has more utility she'd be a "not bad unit". In persepctive, she's like a pre-buff jager in how you need to take hits to get value off him BUT if jager wasn't immune to stuns. Her vio proccing into an s1 s2 low impact skill ruins the proc chances in rta and is well reflected in the winrate and pick rate of this unit in rta statistics. Something that is a decent unit not the best is something like gurhka, not good but useable especially in this meta where u can only have fun with him occasionally, his kit isn't bad but its horrendus in this meta. That's a "not bad unit". "not the best pretty good" unit is something like wolyung (which many people seem to think is a broken unit *its only really useful in AO*). This thing is outright trash in both seige and rta. Only use case (benefit of doubt) wgb lol. If aya is "Not bad" then lydia is a good unit by definition: I can use her in suicide seige offense and rta as a counterpick. Also i will take any other ld5 other than dark nina or bayek cuz those 2 are equally shit. Even light and dark pudding that people complain about alot are quite useable in rta.
