I find it that while she is lacking in tankiness, which I too pointed out, she fares better than some current tanks when it comes to a kit fitting for tanks. There are two type of tanks: one whose kit is much like a tank and those where building tank betters the kit. The first category requires the champion to build tank for their abilities to function better, mostly through scalings off their tanky stats. Whereas the second has a kit where building it may not aide the kit directly but will make them work better, such as being sturdy enough to emit a large point-blank AoE.

Eina in this sense lies in the middle of the two categories, as she has aspects of category 1, where her innate, Q and E promote tanky stats and such. They may not be large scalings, but enough to let players know "you best build her Tanky, or else her kit will not work well." Arguably though, she may need some base stat changes to be little more baseline tanky, such as with her and  values a bit.
