The way they ended Season 2 is just the best. The new details of the lore were exciting to see realized, the upcoming Pyrois was introduced very well, our next new character was introduced very well and makes the upcoming story for Season 3 even more anticipated and then there's also these current new characters.
Promeia is the new Evelyn and the way the story works with her is just great. We're set to see more of her, Cissia, Nicole and the Cunning Hares, Rain and possibly Evelyn who should then rope in Astra, the Angels of Delusion especially Nangong Yu and finally their mentors who are all working under TOPS. This side to the Season 3 story could be very cool to play out. And Billy with his new abilities totally work with Anby and her old fighting style. I'm thinking we might even get an S-Rank Nicole by the end of it so that'd be next year's Epilogue. That could be setting up a precedence where all the A-Rank characters will eventually get S-Rank makeovers while old S-Rank characters could be further upgraded as the need arises.
In terms of gameplay well Billy is sadly in the rut that he's Rupture which is cool but he isn't a Void Hunter like Yixuan so his playstyle is limited to the standard Rupture format of draining his HP to do normal attacks while needing to heal in between with specific attacks. This makes him a high risk high reward type which I'm not that fond of especially since he can't pull off the same damage that Yixuan can. On the other hand, Promeia has the same skill that counters like Yixuan which means it's easier to dodge attacks with her. Her normal attack chain is also very very easy to pull off. You can actually just hold down the attack button and she'll cycle through the whole thing lol. And if she gets to the end, she gains auto-counter as well. This kind of makes her the next Miyabi who is also a Void Hunter. The only thing that makes her a normal character is that she's still just an Ice Agent while Miyabi has her Void Hunter "Frostburn" that does more damage. In any case though I definitely think Promeia beats out Billy.
Of course this is all moot once Season 3 starts because Remielle will blow everybody out of the water. It is very likely they'll make her stronger than even Yixuan which means she'll outclass everybody we have so far. And I can't wait! Season 3 of this game is looking to be explosive!
