I took mine to r3 unduped cuz I knew it was just a matter of time. She still put in tons of work and got banned frequently in BG, and I did eventually dupe her, so I say go for it
No unduped she's useless tbh just a waste of a slot in the deck she wont be good for defense she's essentially just a rol defender unduped, and on attack even a high sig r3 isnt very impressive so i dont wanna think about a unduped r3 or a r2.

She’s still essentially immune to parry without a miss counter, has undexable specials you're forced to eat into block if you play wrong (albeit much less chip without dupe), shuts off willpower, and can just generally eat damage alright thanks to energy resist and inequity attack reduction. Her sig is a big deal for sure but she’s still an annoyance without it who demands respect.
Also unimpressive on attack? She’s not my cup of tea personally but she’s clearly a capable attacker, just not a monster nuke like CGR or whatever. Really can’t go wrong with her unless you need opponents dead in >30 seconds, and as I feel like I need to emphasize that’s only really a relevant benchmark in bgs.

None of those things actually matter tho, you dont need to parry just sidestep her, her specials can easily be dexed and they can be punished, she's rarely ever going to go into pure light when unduped so her specials arent a problem, shutting off willpower doesent really matter it's not like most defenders have debuffs to heal from anyways it's only real purpose is so we're not healing like 1k per tick from all her debuffs, inequity doesent come into play that much because there are alot less debuffs and energy resist isnt really that big of a deal most champs who deal energy dmg are mystics anyways, the only champ i can actually think of that does energy damage and i would actually use for photon is kate and she does the fight just fine.
Pulled this champ out of my last crystal, heard mixed opinions on whether she needs dupe or not.
An awakened Photon is HELL. I think that's why she wasn't awakend as a SoS boss.
But she is good without her awakened ability. She's definitely better with it, like a lot of champs are, but still good without it and is worth ranking up. Before I awakened her from the selector, mine still got banned in BG's season after season.
Her base abilities alone allows her to counter miss, falter, and she shut down my Herc's immortality when she was on defense, go untouchable when parried and after Sp 2, has unblockable and undexable specials when in Pure Light Form, inflicts petrify, supression, and other debuffs, reduces crit resistance, great counter to Mystics. She's still can be annoying and daunting lol
