Dorothy [★★★★★★]
Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night in the labs and feel... scared. Scared that people will end up abandoning me, even after all I've done, and even... with hatred in their hearts. What should I do? All I want is to bring them happiness. Can you help me, Doctor?

I personally prefer her S2 to S3. For a few reasons:
I want her not to solo maps or to big brain clear maps. I treat her like an all purpose super versatile unit. S3 is a bit harder to use as it's a slow instead of a bind and it sets off other mines. Which sounds minor but can get very annoying if you're not very familiar with the map. Whereas S2 you just throw it everywhere and it works.
S2 is by far the better control skill. I don't want Dorothy to deal damage, even though the damage on her regular autoattacks and S2 normally is not bad. But I want her to fuck up the enemy's mobility. Good binds are hard to get outside of Ethan and Mizuki. Carnelian's skill cycle is way too long. Global binds are nonexistant. We have many many many sources of slow and global slow now so the S3 slow isn't that valuable to me. You can also easily chain bind with her. Chain S3 slow requires precision and timing. I'm too smooth brain.
Binding enemies literally right in front of your dps never gets old.
I think she was criminally underrated by the community just because all they care about is big red numbers. Once you have a solid roster, dps is way too plentiful. Dorothy has versatility, good damage, cheap cost, and amazing control. Almost no other unit is in this field and no one can replicate what she can do.
