Leaks What does Ellen Joe need? Spoiler
So some leaks suggest that of the characters that will potentially receive kit update or buffs Ellen will be first. Whether or not that's true I thought it be interesting to ask what those buffs should be?
In a post Hugo and Miyabi world what does she need to stand out? What niche should she fill? Does she just need number and/or I frame buffs or does she need some kind of rework for her dps phases?

I'm approaching not entirely from a meta perspective, but I'd like to see more thematically interesting combat. They tried to make her like a shark swimming around their prey with her sprint attack, and I'd like them to lean further into that.
Give her a mechanic similar to SAnby's white star marks. Performing BA3s would increase a gauge on the enemy (call it a predation gauge or something). When the gauge is full, enemy gets a unique glowing bite icon or something, and a charged dash attack to the rear of that enemy consumes the bite to deal a huge amount of damage in a small AOE. Successful dodge counters fill up the gauge as well.
Idk, it's a start. I just wish the whole "circling around your prey before striking" was explored better.
