Analysis
Review
Carmen is a pure healer and she's great! Compared to the previous best healer, Evelyn, Carmen's healing is slightly less viable - sometimes it may not hit frontlines or backlines, but introduces Debuff immunity to the table, capable of countering healing reflux / healing block.
In terms of survivability, Carmen has a massive attack range equivalent to a sniper, and very high base evasion - with tanky CDR gears, she has extremely high survivability.
As for the healing itself, Carmen's already high healing potential is increased on COs, and when paired with Maestra Nequitia, she gets both increased skill haste and double the healing amount on her special. Also, her ult has the highest healing power in the game, and the hitstun on the ult is not to be ignored.
In PVP, this makes her borderline overpowered and there she's competing with Evelyn for the best healer spot. Overall, she trades healing viability for much more utility.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Instant healing on special.
- nice synergy with other C.O.s and Maestro,
- debuff removal and immunity on special can be clutch,
- Super high attack range and high base evasion allows her to survive in the battlefield.
- Annoying map-wide hitstun on ult.
Cons
- moves super slowly,
- her special heals targets near the explosion, so only the frontline will be healed.
- Countered by bufflock.
- Ult can still be refluxed.
