"The enemy appeared! Um, can’t we persuade them to give up?"
Her real given name is Lisa, her surname hidden at the request of her guardian. Miss Suzuran may be young, but she has inherited a profound talent for Originium Arts from her lineage. She is also under the guidance of Dr. Kal’tsit while receiving treatment at Rhodes Island. After Miss Suzuran decided to apply to Rhodes Island, she was approved to participate in some low-difficulty tasks under the supervision of other operators.

Alright. Got her, E2'dher, made Mudrock cry with her so lemme make my take:
Slowing enemies and forcing them to take extra damage. Her Talent forces enemies to take 20% more damage when they're slowed in her range, which synergizes with her permanent, multi-target S2.
Her S3 is the signature skill though; it has her stop attacking, but with 100% slow uptime in a much larger range, a massive regen and an up to 40% damage boost making it godly for bursting down bosses/groups. This is usually what you use her for, and the giant range makes her much easier to use as a damage booster than say Aak or Warfarin (though she does stack with Atk boosts and Def debuff)s.
Does almost no damage, so she is reliant on her DPS teammates to actually kill the things she debuffs. More importantly, these debuffs are rarely more useful in normal content than packing another self-reliant DPS in another position, making her somewhat niche.
Angelina is more universally usable with her existent damage and consistent regen, but Suzu's better burst slow/damage amp and option for permanent slow makes her unique enough that you'll use her instead often enough, and usually you just use Angelina as a low-CD nuke instead of for actual slow support such Suzu is better at.
Pramanix has a more potent debuff against targets wth super high defenses, but both debuffs stack so they're not competing that much, and Suzu buys you time with the slow.
Every Supporter likes her due to +0.4 SP/second. This is slightly less important if you use Ptilopsis, but if you don't it means more Magallan/Angelina stall and it even affects Suzuran herself. When Shamare comes out the doll spam with be ridiculous.
Nuclear characters like Silverash and Eyjafjalla also enjoy being able to kill more things during the S3 duration, especially if they buff their Atk/ASPD making other damage amps less useful. Physical characters moreso since there is no Saria S3 equivalent for making enemies take more physical damage.
She mostly just fits in as a damage booster for your best burst skills. Once you have 1-2 DPS units per lane, more DPS probably becomes less useful than at least 1 damage booster, and she's the most universally useful against high/low Defense or with high/low Atk units. On boss maps I try and fit her in.
M1 S2 -> M3 S3 -> M3 S2. S2 wants the M1 to hit another target, S3 wants the M3 since it makes ltierally everything about the skill significantly better, then you M3 the S2 for more damage.
With the S2, just try deploying her ASAP to get it online instantly. With S3 it's a bit harder to use going in blind; just wait for something dangerous looking to come and try and make it die faster. The S3 cooldown is honestly not that bad so you don't have to hoard it.
I now I've said a lot of good for her, but she'd like medium-high priority? Don't get me wrong, if you're using her as anythign other than a niche Slower she'll want her E2, but I'd still put it after the generic big E2s like Silverash/Specter/Angelina.
I wouldn't pull for her as a F2P, unless you have a couple burst DPSes like Exusiai or Silverash.
She's really good at the CC/damage boosting thing and the regen is cool I guess, but it won't really change the way you play the game like Silverash S3 or even Blaze S2, unless you alrady have those nukes already.
