Is Goldenglow good?

Goldenglow fights through drones rather than direct engagement, and every one of her skills adds to that drone count for more simultaneous attacks. Surging Current permanently gives her a second drone along with an ATK buff and extended range, useful in long fights like Annihilation but strong generally, while Crystalline Shine disarms her personally in exchange for two more drones that can lock onto and slow targets anywhere on the map. Her talent, Beacon's Wrath, has a low chance for a drone to self-destruct for heavy AOE Arts damage, which becomes a real DPS boost once she's running all three drones from Crystalline Shine.

With three drones roughly tripling her output and reaching across the whole battlefield, she can pick off enemies long before they reach the squad, though high-aggression enemies can pull her drones off priority targets like bosses. We rank her A tier.
