What Yve is bad at
- No dash or blink of her own, so she has no way to escape a diver who closes distance
- Real World Manipulation's shield can still be worn down by focused burst before it runs out
- Void Crystal's initial cast has a windup, letting alert enemies simply walk out of the area
- Extremely squishy in the early game before items bring her shield and damage online
