Fixing Ascensions : Lyn

[Geardo]

Having played both new Heroes several times each and unlocking a bunch of stuff, I would like to address Ascensions and Builds focusing on ones with little value

I tried Lyn with different focus on
Shattered Jade - Effective at melting enemies sometimes so fast I cannot get a Frost Burial in
Cold Silence - Effective for buffing Frost Burial though certain ones I expected to raise the Lethal Line yet did not
Deeper Freeze - CC and capacity modifiers are effective but damage buffers are not

Most useless of Ascensions are:
Chill Overdose - buffs grenade damage but enemies can heal some back
Glacial Sky - buffs grenade damage
Despite buffing damage, these are not effective enough for their value like modifiers to other Secondary damage buffs such as Ao's grenade damage buffs

I think one or both would be better replaced with Ascensions buffing CC such as one that increases the AoE field, perhaps something that pulls fliers down to the ground or something that works with the other 4 improving CC or team buffing effects

Under Cold Silence, I expected these to improve the Lethal Line but did not seem to
Bitter Windrush
Sudden Frost
I think Lethal Chill did move the line on most enemies but not sure about Bosses and Mini-Bosses

I have not decided yet if any of the Shattered Jade ones have no or low value though I have an idea that could replace 1 useless or low value Weapon Ascension for all Heroes

Thoughts?

No idea where you're getting the idea that Glacial Sky and Chill Overdose are weaker than Ao Bai's Grenade modifiers.

Glacial Sky gets you +200% to +600% base damage. Grenade Master is +100% to +200% base damage. If you factor in the 500 Frozen Grenade and 500+200 Explosive Grenade base damage, Lyn gets an effective 7.1% to 66.7% more damage overall, not even including the extra damage Glacial Sky 3 gets for each weak spot.

Chill Overdose multiplies damage by up to x4, with a minimum of x1.5 if you throw only a single grenade and let the enemy recover. Ao Bai's Precise Explosion is x1.6, but only applies if you hit 3 or less enemies. Ao Bai's is only barely better at its best if Chill Overdose is at its worst.

Ao Bai's Double Explosions does double grenades for 200% damage? Lyn's Snow Vortex hits 3 extra times for 400% damage.


Pretty much the only thing Ao Bai actually has which is better is Atomic Bomb vs Lyn's Cold Afterwind. Ao Bai throws up to 48 (?) grenades, each doing up to 1100% damage, while Lyn just gets 1 extra explosion, with less and less chance and damage for any more extra explosions.

But those are blessings, not ascensions, so shouldn't factor into this.

As someone who uses weapons build on her, which revolves around throwing grenade at enemies and then shooting them, more grenade damage isn't completely useless... but yeah, some of these ascensions are probably on the weaker side. But overall Lyn is OP as she is right now, i definitely don't want her to get buffed.
