Let's just jump to the points:

 1. The Spiritforged Passive + Critical Hit Buff.
 - It is confusing to say the least. My first and most important grudge is that us as players have to do a lot of "guesswork" on what causes the spiritforged and what doesn't. Usually you would have this explained for you properly, especially for a class as complicated as this.
 - The passive doesn't work as intended all the time, it's incredibly punishing (skill issue) and many combos trigger the spiritforged bonus, but not the critical hit buff or vice versa.
 - Many abilities like "Twirling Rhapsody" sustain spiritforged bonus where they should not if used in consecutive fashion with others like "Foxflare Fleche". Some however totally discontinue the spiritforge while keep stacking the crit hit buff (which should not happen, bug probably). Foxflare Retreat is one of them, if used after a certain spiritforged ability it breaks the chain but can be dealt with.
 - I have some examples in the video, feel free to check it out if you'd like.
 - Some non-spiritforged abilities trigger spiritforge (twirling rhapsody) for others, but do not allow the critical hit damage buff to be stacked if approached with our Q (Claw) ability afterwards. Confusing, explained below:

Important Note: (edited)
Our Q ability in Awakening can be incredibly misleading to this as it has two animations, one 100% of the time triggered in Spiritforged which hits towards the Rights, and if it fails, towards the Left. We're NOT SURE if this is actually the cause for the misunderstanding, this entire Spiritforged issue could stem from the only well telegraphed ability being buggy.
This part was misleading as unfronrtunately was proven not true on my part. The directional movement of Base Q if failed Spiritforged is always Left, which causes confusion when it triggers left (assuming you have failed it) after an ability that Spiritforges you! This is the entire stem of the confusion around why it triggers left and right but the angle changes regardless. This is an oops on my part, I apologize.

2. Her PvP:
 - It's inconsistent. We're extremely dependent on Down Smashes and Air Smashes which occur and spontaneous times, that is if by some sheer luck we've managed to fish out any CC, which is in 99% of the time the enemy's fault.
 - Awakening Maegu capitalizes on other players' mistakes. She doesn't have the damage to trade theirs out, simply standing, without cc being dealt. This is up for debate and incredibly class to class subjective.
 - T3 Nodes so far seem like the only place she can do something useful. Usually you'd expect to see her in Flex or Solo. She's not shining, however, she's in the blind spot of a "filler".

3. Her PvE:
 - It's incredibly polarizing. Awakening Maegu has no Attack Speed Buff, Accuracy Buff & Evasion Debuff (no, the 25% BSR cost one for 6% does not count.)
 - Under her Z buff from the 100% ability (which also doesn't spiritforge, for whatever reason) she feels like a class that can be optimal on many spots. However, the punishment for not having attack speed outside of the Z buff is really severe, rendering her outside 100% state lacking, but her inside 100% state - really strong. Hence why, polarizing.
 - We should really get an attack speed buff in my eyes. She has enough cooldowns to execute strong and complex combos from Awakening to Pre-Awakenng.
 - Her Accuracy/Evasion issue is up for debate. I dare not tread there while the PvP-ers are fully awake! :D

4. Itemization
 - This is a class that is made for Evasion, but not built to make use of it. A lot of that is accuracy becoming easier to obtain & an incredible gear check situation, up for debate. Reminds me of Lahn, 12% evasion buff, Succession +5% evasion passive yet no reason to play her Evasion at all. She can be made work, but that's not the point here.


Thanks for reading, hope I didn't ruffle anyone's feathers for simply providing feedback based on experience. I'm always open to be wrong!

Much love,
