The big thing to keep in mind about Suomi's healing on her ult is that it's only applicable if you've duped her one time. Outside of that her healing is extraordinarily lackluster and only applies on end of action like Cheeta. Another big thing about Cheeta's 6-01 is that it's an AoE cleanse. I've been hammering Drill 7 and that AoE cleanse alone almost makes me want to invest more in Cheeta.
I personally love using Sabrina or groza with cheeta as counterattacks also trigger support attacks after enemies attack you (and are in range), meaning that you can heal immediately after taking damage (and surviving).
The game gave me full fortification and purple weapon full calibration before even the free character from the event. I guess I'm playing her, lol. She does well with units that can counterattack twice at least as counterattacks trigger her support attacks during the ultimate, allowing her to heal as soon as your units take damage (and survive) with her passive.
Addition note. Neither emergency repair nor allay support work on cheeta as her main heal is a passive, not an active skill nor has any ability with defense on the tag. Her best set would be double strategy or physical boost as no other sets work for her. I wouldn't recommend fire boost as only her first skill does burn damage while her support attacks and her aoe deal physical damage. Until she reaches level 40 and you decide to change her aoe to a heal and her first to heal as well, then you can use emergency repair. And even then I still wouldn't recommend as emergency repair only triggers once (unless once still applies to all healed targets) and would probably pick a random unit to give the stability to and the first skill always targets the closest so you need to position very carefully to make good use of it.
Nagant seems more a defense debuff (with some control potential) type girl. She not exactly doing support attacks, rather it seems her passive attacks targets moving within her range on their turn, like an overwatch, and stuns them if they have a defense debuff. I believe they do have to move as well, if they stay stationary, likely she will not fire even in range. Action Support instead will trigger on direct attacks during player phase or on counter acts from allies in the enemy phase and typically have a number of charges per turn.
Good to see someone finally putting some respect on Cheeta's name. I noticed it sounds like you might have missed it, the 'Overheating' effect ONLY applies if 1 enemy target is hit by the AOE, it can't catch multiple targets. That said, it's not a massively useful ability but that Debuff is probably meant as a method of screwing with Elites and maybe Bosses that don't have immunity to it's particular type of control. Overall, Cheeta has some sneaky things, such as her random buffs can include defense penetration buffs, cover ignore, etc. It's not reliable, sure, but it's not purely 'defensive' buffs which you did not claim it was, but you only really mentioned AOE defense, which might lead to a somewhat improper idea that random buffs are purely defensive when they are not. Some are like attack up, damage up, penetration up, etc. I do think she's stronger than people give her credit for, and definitely an interesting person to run alongside Suomi as Suomi can emergancy barrier a person, but can't get HP up quick. When your running content where your punching above your weight class (I.E. your level 34 and your enemy is like level 44 to 50) it can matter a lot if you can get your main tank like Groza or Sabrina back into fighting shape round after round. I do think she's probably not going to hold up the way S tier or A tier characters would, but I'd probably place Cheeta in B tier at least. If you got some method to control what buffs were applied later she could possibly jump into A or even S tier considering she party wide buffs, but so long as it's random, probably a B tier character. Definitely useful in the right comp for the right reasons, but not super universal.
I already started building Ksenia which works well in fire team, but was also curious about Cheeta .. I feel like Ksenia synergized with QJ/Sharkry a little better but Cheeta still sounds quite interesting !
Thanks for reevaluating Cheeta, Even with suomi i just got to a boss fight where you have to run 2 teams, one after the other. Since you can only take suomi into one of the fights, Cheeta will be the only other aoe healer in the other one.
Cheeta was one of favorites in the CBT. Btw, I need help, I got suomi copy, but her purple weapon didnt came, should I pull for the purple on the weapon banner? Or can I skip the weapon and use the one for Cheeta ?
If you have v1 suomi you don't need her weapon. You should be fine using any alternative for now but make sure you farm for the Ultimate Pursuit attachments for her when you can. That will give you more shield and healing
I was able to V1 her just yesterday and it was so great and having her bis weapon is even better for my opinion I'm level 37 I just finished wave 2 horde 5 drill @@vagabondvon6708
Unless you are hard pressed for resources you want to unlock both Helix keys, doing so is cheap for non SSR grade girls..only 1 instead of 3..and unlocking both keys gives the girls a stat boost and of course more key options to swap in and out as desired. I also believe the final universal key unlock would require everything being unlocked anyway. Early on like we are it might be better to invest in maybe 5-7 girls until later...5 at minimum for the content that does not allow for Support characters. Cheeta actually can get out good damage but less player phase and more enemy phase if she is with girls that provide team counter attacks like Groza and Sabrina. Actually Tololo or girls with more than one attack in player phase can invoke the support as well. Cheeta also is good and shredding target stability to setup a big damage dealer to land big hits.
I'm currently on 6-2, main team and used in all content so far, groza, nemesis, littara, cheeta...since day 1! I pulled suomi recently and have interchangebly used her with litt and chee on occasion, for example bossing, dual smg+healer is supa useful! And because shes a scout, i watched how the auto-play works her, she can run all over the field, she can be a chaser and flanker, or chased-if you need a bait, and she can take more than a few hits if built with a some defence. very versatile.

i love running cheeta + suomi for 5 team comps for that funny double sustain, buff, and support attacks
This is what I've been doing. I love the extra dmg from support actions doubling up. The challenge is managing her Index/energy.

Cheeta with her last key and suomi v1 is so good ,shes even better if you have the fortification that let her give another buff so its now 3 in total
I skipped Suomi in favor of Ulldrid so shes not even a factor
My pulls have been rough. I need to run Cheeta in my crew. Thankfully she is pretty good.
Cheeta and sharkry combo are my favorite pair. I partner them with Soumi and Lotta for some Fire and Ice
Best buffer and healer
I’ve been running cheeta soumi sharkry and Q and just wrecking content
yes u were wrong for not using her!!! her buff is INSANEEEEE
yeah Cheeta has been well appreciated on my team
I love her
