Sniff

Weiss was my favourite. Spamming Nova everywhere I went, just basically being amazing...

Then they changed that and now she rarely gets to use Nova and it's weak as shit until you upgrade it a few times...whereas Jump+Ranged is much more spammable and gets you out of the way of counterattacks easily, plus Burst is just a generally good skill overall compared to her other attacks. It's not a fun way of playing (not as fun as simply charging in, aggroing everything then Nova-freezing the crap out of the field) but it's a viable way to play her.
