You’ve been playing Summer all wrong in Crucible

Collecting essence is a critical strategy that can help mitigate Summer’s weaknesses. This resource will level her up, hitting milestones, boosting her heat resistance, and keeping her active longer. Once you reach the Level 2 essence upgrade, your flamethrowers will do 40% more damage if your heat gauge is over half full. At Level 4, your overheat recovery decreases to four seconds, and at Level 5 your maximum heat increases to 275.

Summer’s skills expand at each level as well, giving her more powerful flames, burning fireballs, and extra fiery projectiles. Given that, you should make it a priority to level her up as soon as you can. This means you’re going to have to figure out how to quickly weigh risk against reward to get the most out of her abilities. But once you’ve mastered that, you’re definitely going to have a blast with Crucible.
