Is Laffey good?

Laffey focuses on main-gun firepower, and when her skill actually triggers, the firepower and reload buff it grants hits hard. The problem is that the condition needed to set it off doesn't line up especially well with what the buff actually does, so it's less consistent to use than it sounds.

Strengths

Strong main-gun firepower
Skill's firepower and reload buff hits hard when it goes off

Weaknesses

Trigger condition doesn't match up well with the buff's effect
