Having a Hime who is completely useless until that point while still making very little - if any - impact on the end result is NOT a good thing.

Yes, -30% Rage bar is amazing. However, there is even a SR of the same powerlevel, Belphegor, who even comes with debuffs, meaning actually being useful even before Rage phases. Oh, and Belphegor's -30% works against ALL elements, whileas Acala only works against Wind. So when your AWAKENED SSR is losing to a SR, you know that it's NOT an impressive Hime. At all.


Again, Acala, once AWAKENED, can be decent. But the list of requirements is long:
1. Needs to be a Wind enemy.
2. Needs to have a Rage bar.
3. The Rage phase needs to be the problem in the fight.
4. The fight or previous waves before it can't be all that tough since Acala won't do you any good there.
5. Without Acala, your team's Full Burst can't be strong enough to blow out Rage because you'd bring somebody else instead (like even a SR).
6. You need to be strong enough to blast through WITH Acala's impressive anti-Rage kit (-30% Rage bar, strong nuke, echo burst, teamwide minor Rage bar reduction boost).
If you meet ALL of those conditions, Acala is good. But overall? There is no way you can call Acala anything other than decent, because that's a looooong list of conditions that NEEDS to be met in order for Acala to be good. And thanks to #5, you're going outgrow Acala even if you find use for her right now. Thus... she is decent. Nothing more, nothing less.
> -30% Rage bar
What. It's +30% push on Normal Gauge, not Rage reduction.

> Belphagor
She's still a thing? You gotta be very new to be counting on garbage like her. 12% debuff? She can't even play her part in refreshing debuffs in raids for a leech. 30% rage cut is like the only... nice thing. Actually not even that nice considering all Fire raids available so far are a complete joke. Comparing a shitty not-even-niche-worthy SR with only 2 skills to an AW...

> Wind only
So what? You still wanna play against neutral element raids at this date? Good luck with that. Play a Light team maybe, afaik it's the only element that can comfortably farm all raids. Thunder too if you are really OP, cuz OP heals and tanks.

> Waves before boss
Irrelevant. Those things die in 1 turn.

> A lot of conditions
Welcome to powercreep. Because all these new contents encourage / force you to improvise to 'conditions'. This isn't limited to Acala. There is no such thing as 'one true meta' anymore. No such luxury in roster? Well you're just gonna have to suck it up and accept that some contents will be pain.

> blast through rage
I don't think it's mathematically possible to blast through a Lv90/100's rage with 1 FB. You would at least see 2~3 rounds of FB + nuke unless you are running a slow build.

> Outgrowing Acala
It's the opposite. Uriel is the one being outgrown because of her less than satisfactory performance due to very limited arsenal against contents lately while Acala is seeing more and more use.


tldr; Decent is the right word. Never said she was OP. But you're dismissing every good points about her with your outdated reasoning. That's not decent at all.
