>6ex is a complete game changer for strikers and it's hard to trust people's "ratings" of strikers because of it. 6ex Steven owners will be biased in favor of him, 6ex Red owners will shill for him, same with Cynthia. Even applies to strikers on the fringe of Top 3 like Brendan, Gloria, Alder. I rate Gloria pretty highly because it requires literally no external setup so you can run it with anything, and has good natural bulk, but I concede it's only truly useful at 6ex.
>While I don't have any problems with using Sleep and use it myself, Sleep clears, even 0% damage clears aren't really indicative of "skill" as much as they are autistically counting animation frames. A well-constructed or interesting team clear has a lot more value than a sleep one.
>"Permanent" weather on syncs is incredibly overrated unless a striker is the one doing the syncing. Blaine sun>>>Lyra sun because of the build speed and lack of congestion in how the team plays.
>Some seasonals end up pretty "underrated" just because people don't have the chance to use them (not that I blame them). NY Lillie is one of the most versatile team supports and is very futureproof because of its teamwide Eva Buff/Status Block, Christmas Erika is a fantastic healer with very good survivability. I think there's a lot of hidden potential in Christmas Togekiss too.
