What are Evanescia's Other Support Options?

TLDR: I want Evanescia but don't have Yao Guang and have no plans to pull her due to wanting other characters significantly more. Are there other supports (assuming EMC is in the team) that Evanescia can work with to clear content even if they're not BiS? I only care about clearing, not 0 cycling.

Hi Evanescia mains!! Been thinking about pulling for her because I really like her design but I don't have Yao Guang and I don't have the pulls to go for her on top of everyone else I want in the next couple patches (although I do plan on pulling for Nihilux because I'm assuming she'll be playable at some point and I'm hoping that she's gonna be an elation support). I get that Yao Guang is about a 40-50% damage increase over any other option, but I was wondering who else can function as a support for Evanescia even if they aren't best in slot (aside from EMC of course since they're pretty much an automatic slot for the team due to lack of other Elation characters).

I'm mostly asking because I'm wondering if I should pull for her or just save for MBlade, because right now it's sort of a situation where Blade is going to be way better for my account but I like Evanescia as a character a lot more, and I'd prefer to get Evanescia if possible but not if she's going to just sit in my account doing nothing until I get Nihilux.

With the characters I currently have I was thinking of a team of Evanescia/EMC/S1 Sunday/DHPT (although I could pick up HuoHuo from the companion shop as well if she's significantly better than DHPT) but I'm not sure if there's other better options for her that again, aren't Yao Guang. I just can't afford to pull for her right now because I have too many characters I'm looking to pick up and I'm F2P, I'm already probably going to miss one or more of them so adding on even more characters to pull for just isn't going to happen.

If it helps, I don't care about 0 cycling and I don't mind being inefficient as long as I can still clear content at 3 stars. I understand that not using Yao Guang is a significant damage loss and I'm okay with that as long as I can still clear content like MoC 12, Apoc 4, and PF 4. So I guess my question is ultimately can Evanescia still clear those modes with other supports and if so, which ones?
