Helicopter shield mom!
With her augment and a strength over everything build I find she can be very strong if a bit braindead, just keep spamming pillage + haven and everything around you will quickly burn and die, balefire also becomes a lot more viable as a crazy raw damage weapon once everything has no armor. That said her kit feels a bit simplistic? Outside very low level nuking pillage is really her only trick with haven really just being an extension of pillage and balefire not really doing anything that couldn’t be done by any other weapon.
Well put. Her 4 is kind of sad in general. I do want to mention that gloom is INCREDIBLE on her, it feels like it was designed to be part of her kit to me. You can run pretty low efficiency and duration and it doesn’t matter because of her crazy shield economy, and she already runs high strength and good range.
