Yo just to clear things up, I'm not convincing you to get Hades and put her on your team lol. I just can't agree with your earlier statement that Hades isn't amazing even awakened. Not gonna brag or anything but Hades was a huge help to me during the medusa ragnarok because she can save me once from the petrify debuff. Sure, not all bosses have dangerous debuffs like that but she can still block some pesky debuffs like poison or cursed from enemies (which was also a nice help when I soloed baron's ragnarok so Osiris heals wouldnt go to waste)
Well I haven't actually used a debuff like that before since I don't have Hypnos and I'm not gonna bother getting her either. How useless is it anyway? I'm curious though.
I mean the one for Hades awakening could be stronger but I can't say for sure since its not here yet on our version, all I can do is speculate but I'm not gonna rely on that either, just like I don't rely on Osiris dizzy skill even if it hits. I had that hit on some fights and sometimes it doesn't even work once. It's a nice touch that I like but not something I would rely on too much
Still can't agree with your statement of her not being good enough to be regularly deployed, but well we all have our own opinions. I'll respect yours lol
and yes, since dark amat is a limited amazing SSR, not everyone would have the luxury that you do that would allow them to run different main souls, and as Aidoru said, most B frame debuffers of dark are kinda limited too (Lu bu is a good option but if a newbie wants to main dark they wont have her until her event returns)
and the def thing isn't Hades' main use, damage cut and def buff are 2 different things, and obviously you'd have more survivability and receive less damage if you have 2 damage cut abilities from joan and pluto
tl;dr
don't say Hades isn't that great for people who aren't in the same situation as you are (you having dark amaterasu and all, everyone who mains dark wants her too you know, but not everyone got her and everyone will be stuck waiting for her return next year). She's a good starting hime for dark that provides some basic needs and even more so when she gets her awakening
