Quick Verdict
DEF-scaling shielder with a Skill-Deepen Outro — split scaling and a passive rhythm keep her niche.
Consider carefully — Taoqi sits at C-tier, solid but not a top-priority pull unless you love the playstyle.
Not necessary — Taoqi isn't strong enough to justify rerolling; prioritize an SS or S-tier pick instead.
