Did a few shooting range runs to test some things for the fun of it, because i like theorycrafting stuff. I chose BAlice as the flex because she has a heal to activate Crown's buff, she'll proc Siren's S2 more because she's an SMG like Chime, and she's a half burst like Chime, so Crown's S1 will apply to her. Note that this is an element neutral stage, and these were in auto (this will probably mess up some numbers, but i'm too lazy to manual this shit at nearly 4am). the filenames are the total damage
>Helm's personal damage is not much worth bragging about tbh, however her 28% ATK buff makes SBS do like 100 mil more damage, which carries the team compared to BAlice don't ask why Rapi doesn't have a similar gap, or why Crown does more damage with BAlice, i have no clue, this was consistent among the runs
>BAlice's personal damage isn't TOO far off from Helm's despite being a support, and i believe that's because she's buffed by Crown's S1 half of the time. Note that this buff would apply to chime every time since she's a 20s B1.5
>Despite not having the 28% buff, Siren's S2 proccing more often closes the gap a bit
So the conclusion to my theory is that Chime will be fine so long as
>she heals (even if it's just Crown)
>Crown gets roided the fuck up, to where she does damage similar to Siren
>she has a teamwide ATK buff that isn't a nothingburger (not required if Crown is roided enough)
>Shift Up doesn't fill her kit with useless garbage, like crit or defense (this is the scarier part)
