I somewhat don't agree with you. Her SBB is forty hits, 90% spark buff, HP and BB regen with defense ignore. That isn't lacking at all. She also is amazing as sub unit which almost all other spark buffers lack at. The heal on spark is always nice since she is a spark blanket and the fill BB gauge on spark and fill rate make filling gauges a non issue. The UbB arguement that Lucius has a better UbB since it makes Light element damage 0. Not the case. It lowers it like a mitigation buff while Elza just negates it completely. This can be used on some massive damage light bosses like Lucius and Granvalm in FG. That UbB can also be amazing in bosses with no status immunity or an ailement. It isn't 100%, sure but unless you're really unlucky, it will always proc. it is also 44 hits compared to Lucius 70 but you cant spark all of Lucius hits. You can really only spark up until hit thirty through fourth before the animation takes a while to finish without Semira or a slow animation. Elza's sparks much better. She also comboes with Piany much better than other spark buffers now and Piany provides the fill on spark while Elza has the spark buff. Compared to her uncle, she wins at everything but damage and LS and UBB. She can be more useful in trials and other hard content like Ggcs and GQs.
