Option 2: No prefights and so a larger regen from going below a certain health to offset recoil loss
Losing the prefight takes away some of her functionality, but the argument against option 2 is you might not even fall bellow the health the regen kicks in at, in a typical match.
Maybe an experienced player can help determine which is more optimal.
You might be worried about recoil a bit, but it's so easy for her to cover that damage with her lifesteal and self repair. Since she's a robot, she doesn't take damage from the bleed and/or poison, and she doesn't benefit from willpower or salve as well, making her a good option for nodes like Spectre or champs like warlock.
Besides, you're better off not throwing special 1 or 2 in most scenarios, as that might be too overkill to the opponent, her energy damage comes on all her hits, so you're not losing out on it by doing your basic attacks exclusively.
Overall, I'd rate her as a top 5 champ for running suicides with. With or without suicides, she's an absolute beast, as you might have seen talked about extensively in recent time! Also, her energy damage scales with base attack only, so it's the same with or without suicides. The extra attack from suicides mostly increases the lifesteal and her base damage in general. So, you're not losing out on much damage by not running suicides.
Comparatively, the lifesteal on her mediums is about 0.7% of her health per medium attack (with suicides). To balance the deficit of having the lifesteal halved, you'll need approximately 30 medium attacks or so.
My strategy (which I used a lot in cavalier difficulty): If she gets to about 30% health or below in a fight. In the next one, I wouldn't use any prefight, and I'd take as much block damage to get me to the 15% mark (takes a while because of her high armor rating). With this, I get to about 57% health (max) in a single go.
When her health would be about 20% to enter the fight, I'd use recoil to activate the Regen. In a lot of other scenarios, I'd use the lifesteal prefight, unless I'm fighting someone with high armor rating or physical resistance such as juggernaut, rhino, warlock (also because warlock would degen you for healing, never use stability function against this guy), hulkbuster, etc. In such cases, I'd prefer to have all my armor compared to reduced lifesteal, but I make exceptions in places like labyrinth and realm of legends.
