You might be surprised by how much her healing can factor into things with current content. She's particularly nice with melee heavy comps since her full map sustain makes it easier to stick duelists into lanes that would otherwise be inefficient to offer healing coverage to. Plus, you know, she smashes things. It's a lot easier to get by on her sustain once you factor in that she's going to slap the shit out of some liches or whatever.

With all of that said, Deine isn't bad either, so it ain't like I'm hating. I just doubt that in the long term I would rather have her than Sophie, Matsuri AND Marius. I mean, yeah, Matsuri isn't a Uzume replacement, but it's not like she's utterly useless, either. For one thing, she still has black level affection bonuses and her skill increases the number of units she can hit by one over a long duration, so unlike other Advance Guards she doesn't have to wait until Awakening to be a multi-hitter. She hits the ground as more or less a heavily discounted samurai and overall you could do worse than that with your second or third drop.
