You see Valeth, I have exactly the opposed point of view. Because how her NP works, she has less options available (for instance I would consider Merlin as a no go). While you can in the absolute always replace a buffer for a debuffer (like Semi instead of Merlin), it's much more complicated to replace a debuffer with a buffer for Yu (there is a non-negligeable cost).

It's not that you don't have to worry about damage optimization with Yu, it's just that you don't have much choice anyway your NP will wipe off any damage amp you have on. Your argument on that point is kinda analog to the one saying that good side of being poor is that you don't have to worry about what to do with your money (because they have no money to spend anyway).

DOT while good at floor level damage it can only make you this far as scaling DOT is much harder and less fruitful in the current state of the art compared to direct damage.

Finally, I don't know how bad is Geronimo, but personally I expect a bit more from a 4*. And without going on expensive 5* territory, Yu has already enough hard time standing against Gray (even NP1 Gray).
