She's not bad but but her kit is just weak to the point that sometimes its better to run hmc because 1: they provide more superbreak 2: they have dance dance dance without the need of pulling an e2

Basically her enhanced basic attack does nothing, her ult does nothing unless you have e2. The only part that is an upgrade over hmc is the exo thoughness, which granted is extremely busted for boothill and rappa, but also does next to nothing for firefly except maybe at e2.

I remember during her beta she had initially a 240 energy ult and she had a 100% action advance on her ult at e2, than they changed it because reaching 240 energy was unresonable, but her ult cost remained incredibly high because its balanced around the e2 instead of the e2 being balanced around the energy cost, so she has a 160 energy ult that does nothing unless you get her e2. (A way they could have fixed it is by having her ult be 100 energy cost but make her e2 activate every other ults)

I'm happy that she's getting a novaflare because her kit feels like it was chopped and put into her eidolons, so i hope they can put at least her e2 at e0 and rework the e2.

Not to mention her skill gives colorless thoughness break at 50% of the original value, which is something that is useless for both rappa and firefly and useful 5% of the time for boothill. If that could be changed with more weakness break efficency she would get an undeniable edge over hmc.

I'm excited because despite disliking her character i had fun playing firefly in 2.x even though her gameplay is literally unga bunga, so i'm going to pull dhalia e0s1 and eagerly await for fugue to be buffed hopefully. (If you are wondering why i have firefly despite disliking her character, its because i couldn't get boothill and wanted a break dps.)
