I really don't know what's the fuss with the tri-buff when it literally doesn't make much of a difference to stat calculation and even damage calculation. The tri-buff isn't the main focus of Carrol. Sure, buff-clashing is a thing, but when it's small stuff like a mere 10-20% difference in stat buffs, buff-clashing doesn't matter much, if any, at all.

Let's do some calcs, using Carrol's Lord stats at Lv150. Let's also equip her with Beiorg's Armor and Growth Device, fuse Divine Oracle Lv3 (+20% all stats) into her, and give her the +20% all stats SP. We'll also compare the difference between a 140% tri-buff and a 160% tri-buff.


 * Max-imped Lord stats with no mods: 3440 Atk, 3500 Def, 3320 Rec


 * Max-imped Lord stats with added mods and 140% tri-buff: 12040 Atk, 12250 Def, 11620 Rec


 * Max-imped Lord stats with added mods with 160% tri-buff: 12728 Atk, 12950 Def, 12284 Rec

Barely any difference (barely crossing 1% in all stats), especially considering these are high parameters we're talking about. That few extra points shouldn't necessarily qualify for Carrol to be trash simply because her tri-buff isn't all too great. Besides, there are already tons of tri-buffers that have different tri-buffs. If you're still using Sirius along with units like Rain, Alessa, or maybe Shion, you're already running into buff-clashing problems anyway. Not like it matters in this current meta because we're in an era with a bunch of powercreep buffs. There's bound to be buff-clashing in certain squads and you can still make the squad work. It's all about efficiency with buffs and how you can utilize them to the fullest.

Ultimately, Carrol's kit really shouldn't be bogged down just because of one buff (and even with that reasoning, it's pretty ridiculous). Her other buffs are really good, including OD fill and BB-on-hit. The only thing I have problems with Carrol is her elements, but even then, I can use units like Zeruiah, Ark, or Quaid to help fulfill that role.
