In the first place, I wouldn't judge this champion as a as I supposed Baristar based that classification on the source material, as Kurumi wields flintlocks as seen in her illustrations. It's not uncommon that content creators here do not tag their champions with the appropriate class that their kit actually emulates.

The kit above is closer to a, especially shown with the. A Marksman rarely if ever has health costs, as it is detrimental to their typically low. On top of that, this kit lacks any on-hit effects, or anything that would be benefit from. The only time it may be relevant is the ult. Speaking of the ult, it has the same issue old used to have with his ult: by post-11, you can summon all your ghouls and ghosts, and gang-up on one enemy with a  and  build; he was one hard-to-kill grave-keeper, and for rather unintuitive reasons as he simply mobbed his target.

Thus far, Kurumi does emulate to a degree who she was in Date-A-Live. However, the shortcomings of this port is the typical "crossover's do not always match up to its target world well, thus creates thematic conflicts." In the end though, I know I have a clinginess to fitting thematics, while many others do not. What I will say is that direct ports like these carry the baggage of issues such characters had in their previous iterations, and with most light novels, even characters with great potential will hit the ceiling of ingenuity. Basic to say, without making an attempt to do more out of a crossover character, they can remain rather flat in design and theme. They will be less appreciated for their porting, and just more of what people know based on their origins; this can be either good or bad, and something you as the content creator cannot dictate unless you act. Izo has a base issue of this on the discord as people still relate him to Jin Kisaragi, Izo's source material, regardless of how much I moved him away from being a Jin port in both theme and in.
