yes, everything has a build has a situation where it is outclassed.

that goes for fury too.

Climbing is a fun gimick, AND CAN ACTUALLY BE USEFUL. Specifically, in close/midrange combat you can hang off the side of a wall - not climb the wall - using the ground as cover in an otherwise open area. you can also continue to advance while protecting yourself like this, though with difficulty. There are also several areas where CLIMBING IS FASTER THAN WALKING (exiting the center of valley, getting from one side of the hill to the other on valley)

additionally, setups such as ember, and formerly setups with thunder, actually outclassed an equivilent lancelot due to damage output at slightly higher range, and improved durability as compared to lancelot (thunder raijin killed thunder/orkan lancelot, orkancilot, etc).

It is not the best bot, yes. It performs well in a smaller set of situations, yes. Is it objectively bad? Not even close.
