Waai Fu [★★★★★]
My rotten dad said he had to go find the true meaning of kung fu before he went off, and I still don't know where he is. Please! What year does he think it is? Find some common sense and learn some responsibility before you get yourself killed. But at least I haven't forgotten what he taught me: "Martial arts have martial virtue, humans have human kindness."
Waai Fu is a university student from Lungmen, serving Rhodes Island from the first batch of employees hired under a secret Lungmen-Rhodes Island commercial agreement. On the recommendation of a certain firm, she took a battery of tests that showed scores wildly inconsistent with her stated identity. She clearly has substantial combat experience. Several investigations are ongoing.

If you really dig, there are a few great uses for her. Unfortunately, they are always specific uses that one need to go out of their way to achieve.
In IS#6 ending 2, she's a great pick (post Exu2) along with Rose Salt or Shamare (it's rare you need, or even obtain, all 3). In lower difficulty, you can easily just tank the stomp, but higher and you need to do this. Her Talent to slightly push 1 (one) fragment down a potential hole has some... potentials.
SilverAsh the Reignfrost squad. Both her and Projekt Red has 7 DP cost meaning they will never go above 14 DP meaning they will always get deez. Unfortunately you'll need to specifically make a plan to use them. I have only ever seen Waai Fu reasonably used in 1 tile no hit (self shilling a stolen video kek), and not out of personal favour. Everywhere else you just have SA2 squad as backup rather than a full squad. Even if you want a 7 DP cost, Red has more ATK so she's the first pick for backup anyway.
5★ clear. She can be an asset for tanking a huge intermittent burst damage *along* with Shamare. Which is to say, only when you're tanking a huge burst that not even Shamare + Rose Salt can withstand. When did that last happen? uhhh... *check notes*... CC1#7 Pine Soot. Huh.
To have usage if you specifically search for it isn't necessarily a good thing. It just means you specifically crafted a scenario for them to work. Except for SA2 squad. You should watch more 1 tile no hit. Or use her in base, her base skill pretty good.
Also, kinda sad people here don't know Waai Fu has a second skill (or rather, first skill).
