There's no reason to build for her second ability as increasing power strength only increases the base damage but does not increase the absorbtion multiplier, which is where it gets all of its damage. You also only need 145% abillity Strength (rank 8 Transient Fortitude or Intensify with Power Drift) to get to 75% slow for MC. The only 3 builds she ever needs are Slowva, Speedva and something for extremely long portals for getting around the plains crazy fast. Range is not completely useless on her, but pretty close as its only real use is increasing the explosion radius of MC. Just give her Vitality, (Primed) Flow and QT, lots of duration and efficiency then choose either 145% strength or 40% strength depending on whether you want slowva or speedva.
