Do you think Glimmer will be used more after the Version 2.0.0 update?

As of now, Glimmer is a pretty bad special aside from Tempest Trials (even then, it's still really inconsistent). However, the next update will decrease its cooldown count from 3 to 2, which could be pretty good, especially/specifically on high-attack units like Ryoma and Delthea (maybe Reinhardt?). Do you think it'll end up being used more often, or do you guys think it'll just end up falling flat and disappointing/underwhelming? This is just some speculation and ideas I've been thinking of ahead of time before the actual update comes out. :)

I think it makes it more viable. It's mostly only useful for blade tome mages though. When they do 40-50 damage per hit, a low-ish cooldown 20-25 additional damage is great. I don't think it'll do much aside from help blade tome users though. Maybe Reinhardt for some matchups.

It will be a sligth upgrade from moonbow for blade mages, no more than that.

One thing to keep in mind is that Glimmer is way more effective than Moonbow on foes that use Life&Death (over Fury or anything else).
Their reduced Def/Res would normally mitigate a bit of Moonbow's damage output but now with Glimmer it actually works the other way around, scaling up the Special burst damage.
