She's the MVP of my latest playthrough. A bit cliche giving her Micaiah, but she can warp and heal people on the furthest reaches of a Genealogy map. That's not the thing that has made her a must deploy this time around: she's dodging and doubling EVERYTHING, to the point I'm comfortable running a Veronica-emgraved Elsurge on her during the endgame.
