A large part of what they do gets better.

Analysis

A general buffer that can be used in any team if you don't have a dedicated buffer already. She can buff the damage of all the team and offer okayish self damage due to high M.ATK stat and some P.ATK buffs.

Pros

Really great versatile ATK buffer.

Leader skill is excellent for "Liberation Army" teams.

Guaranteed dodge & P.ATK buffs on herself. (x2)

Fills front ally special gauge by 50%.

Buff DEF of front allies at battle start.

Has a x2 water skill.

Special buff M.DEF of all allies and can do decent damage.

The support skill is amazing.

Cons

M.DEF buff on passive locked to "Liberation Army" characters.

ATK buff only has one use.

Wants to be hit to trigger her avoid passives and buffs.

Own special fill passive is locked behind LB2.
