In my time I've noticed that a lot of complaints about abilities being overpowered get brushed off by "just use x to work around it!", but hear me out. I'm aware there are ways to work around healing-centric abilities, but the problem I have isn't that I don't know how to work around it- It's just really lame.
There are a lot of flaws with it, but for starters, for a Marquee Ability, it is completely and utterly overwhelming- it makes it ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to use a powerful anti-healing variant for LITERALLY EVERY BLACK DAHLIA. It'd be one thing if this was just a variant, but frankly I just think it's lame that every single Black Dahlia requires this check, on top of whatever that variant's unique abilities are.
I also, frankly, just don't think that countering it is interesting in any way- you basically just need to use abilities that completely shut down any sort of buff-reliant variant. Even if you use Beowulf or Cerebella, No Time To Die's heals last so long that she'll still get metric boatloads of healing no matter how slowly you attack her. You can't really strategize around not doing crits aside from using characters with no crit upgrades, but even with base level crit chance it's too strong to brute force through.
I think a lot of people take "overpowered" to mean "this variant literally cannot be defeated", but that's really not the point- the point is that Black Dahlia just objectively stands way above every other character defensively by having an ability that simply makes her not able to be defeated unless you specifically counter it- Absolutely none of the other Marquee Abilities are anywhere near being this powerful to where having something to negate them is damn near required to beat the character.
