Explanation
This may surprise you, but Queen has some quite high normal damage. If you’re unfamiliar, characters like Queen and Corax “split” their auto-attacks into two smaller auto attacks that deal reduced damage; however, the game’s damage formula heavily biases in favor of multi-hits to the point that Queen’s printed 120% modifier on Normals is actually closer to 150% in practice. Combine this with a standard 2-Cluster chain combo, and you have a nasty detonator if you can get enough contact points around the enemy.
That said, this reliance on Normals also holds Queen back from being more than just "okay". Failure to get good setups with Queen is extremely punishing, as she loses out on both her Normal and AoA damage. Even in teams where she can reach her full potential, her performance is still about average for a 6*, and on a bad day she even gets outclassed by units like Dayna. Overall, while Queen can be good, she requires a lot of effort for fairly lackluster gains.
