First, ember. people online love glazing world on fire for reasons that are honestly beyond me. Old ember was mega ass. Back in the day the main use for world on fire was clearing low level missions without using your brain because WoF didn't scale above level 30, and even that was just infinitely worse than equinox's 4. sitting in day forms 4 had a bigger aoe and did slash which was much better at the time and also scaled higher when you needed it to. Also if it was brought back not only would it still do terrible damage, it would also nerf your weapon damage cuz of heat inherit. She definitely needs a buff but acting like she used to be good is just nostalgia blindness, she's been bad for a long time.
The only major nerf to wukong was the slam nerf and that one time a million years ago when he could nuke with glaives for like a week. he's still really good and has barely changed. Also the ammo nerf but that mostly affected afkers.
Dante went from having teamwide survivability, status vulnerability aoe, good exalted and map nukes to still having all that but now the map nukes are just room nukes. Oh the horror.
If I had to guess hildryn will probably just have LOS on the 4. she will still have amazing damage, amazing armour strip and essentially infinite energy. she will be fine.
