i'd turn thorn coat into movement which allows you to switch places with friendly characters and minions and making you incredibly resilient but unable to shoot for 2/3 seconds, and if there are none, just appear close to an enemy/enemy minion if they are nearby

2 is usually reserved for movement or healing, bebop, seven and lady geist are the only exceptions, but that's because their kits are all about trying to kill a motherfucker

also ability to switch places with an ally and causing yourself to be very tanky for a few seconds allows for some cool saves potential considering this character feels very support oriented

I like that you're doing a lot with very simple effects. Thorns plus ammo replenish--should probably be a percent of ammo per second. A nuke that heals allies in an area around impact. Pretty clever, really. Take Root is interesting, but seems more like a concept on this character; I think the design really needs to be pushed in the rest of the kit. Zipvine, very inspired.
