Is Dazzler good?
Once Tempo is ramped, Dazzler's Special 2 does massive damage, and her Dazzling Dash Attacks land Falter and Stun for safe openings. She also reflects Physical Thorns and Reverberation damage back as Energy damage, which is a nice bonus against certain defenders. Damage caps like 
Korg's Rock Stacks hurt her Special 2 badly, Cowardice strips her Special 2 buffs, and high Energy Resistance blunts most of her output since she's almost entirely an Energy attacker.
S tier for the ceiling, with real floor risk against the right counters.

Skills
7Base Passives
PassiveShe’s Immune to bad vibes, and also Nullify. Be cool, not cruel. If Dazzler’s Opponent isn’t a Tech Champion, their Critical Damage Rating is set to 0 and cannot be increased. No stopping this light show. If Dazzler’s Opponent has the Stand Your Ground Mastery active, it is removed. While Dodging back, Dazzler cannot be struck by attacks. She does not benefit from the Dexterity Mastery, but she builds 1 Tempo when Dodging a Special Attack hit.
Tempo
Passive ResourceDazzler builds up Tempo as excitement mounts for her performance. Light and Medium Attacks build 1 Tempo, or 5 if the attack strikes the Opponent while they are standing up. Heavy Attacking a non-Stunned Opponent builds 5 Tempo. Dazzler’s personal Stun Passive does not count against this. As a Defender, each hit in the Attacker’s Combo Meter builds 1 Tempo.
Dazzling Dash Attack
PassiveBuilding 10 Tempo sets the stage for a Dazzling Dash Attack. Only one Dazzling Dash Attack may be readied at a time. Once readied, Dashing forwards from outside striking distance or during the Opponent’s Special Attack inflicts a Falter Passive for 1.2 seconds, paused until the end of the Dash. If Blocked, a Dazzling Dash Attack inflicts a Stun Passive for 1.5 seconds. As an Attacker, on hit or on Block it also deals a burst of 181.86 Energy Damage per Tempo.

Sounds of Light and Fury
Signature AbilityDuring her hits, Dazzler takes no Physical Damage and instead reflects 20 - 200% of it back at the Opponent as a burst of Energy Damage. Performing a Dazzling Dash grants a Pursuit Passive for 2 - 10 seconds, paused until the end of the Dash.

Opener
Special 1Special 1 - Opener Smooth rhythmic moves get the crowd going. Tapping Block in rhythm with the 4 blasts builds 10 Tempo each. The final hit inflicts a non-stacking 1833.33 Energy Vulnerability Passive for 30 seconds.

Show Stopper
Special 2Special 2 - Show Stopper Dazzler's light show hits its crescendo, blasting away the audience. If Dazzler is not suffering from Cowardice, after activation she gains 10% Resonance, Fury, and +10% Prowess Buffs until the end of the attack. These potencies increase by +1% flat per Tempo. At tier 7: 909.3 If the Opponent is suffering from a personal Energy Vulnerability, after activation Dazzler also gains an Unblockable Buff until the end of the attack. Tapping Block in rhythm with the first 5 lasers grants Dazzler 687.5 Precision Buffs until the end of the attack. If Dazzler reaches at least 4 of these Precisions, the final laser is a Guaranteed Critical Hit. At the end of this Special Attack, reset Dazzler’s Tempo.
At tier 7
Encore
Special 3Special 3 - Encore The crowd wants more, and Dazzler won't disappoint. Dazzler kicks things into High Tempo for 40 seconds, allowing her to build up to 150 Tempo and doubling all Tempo gains. A Perfect result in the Special 3 Mini Game increases this to 60 seconds, or 50 if the result was semi-Perfect.
