Faerie - it just feels awful?
I've tried my hand at faerie a few times since I like butterflies, especially the big ones from the augment (PRETTY). I know it's not a good trait statistically, and that's fine, I like the oddball traits and am a certified Coven/Chembaron/Underground junkie. But, Faerie just FEELS so bad? Do you know what I mean? Slow, unfun, requires a Lilia to activate the second tier, low-damage, not very tanky, not very anything? It has a cool end-game with printing gold and stuff and you can get VERY big butterflies.
Even when I've had a strong start with 2* Xayah Rageblade, sunder item, 2* Rakan with class trait active... Xayah can ramp up for hours without dealing damage, seemingly. Even a 3* Xayah feels like the devs are taking the piss out of me? I've even had a Radiant Guinsoo on 3* Xayah with LW, Deathblade, she still shit the leaf-bed. 3 combat augments too!!! No I'm not mad.
Yes, I get that it's easily accessible from the very first round and it's a scaling trait (in THEORY lol) so it needs to be poor early but still... what's the trick to actually making it feel enjoyable and not like a humiliation ritual with clip-on fae wings? Are there any champion synergies or items besides the obvious marksman items, rapidfire/vanguard/jug synergies? Should you have an emblem to even consider it? Do you just want to bench Xayah ASAP you get Trist and keep Xayah as a trait bot for when you find Lilia?
Has anyone actually hit the ground running with a strong Faerie start?
Edit: My dumbass forgot it's called Fae this set.
