Is scream a solid r3 option?

I’m turning to be more BGs focused. I’m building my roster to make epoch a breeze - it’s like the only piece of content I haven’t done that still has relevant rewards. I don’t know when I’ll be able to get Medusa. I’ve already got two cosmic r3s - Knull and Odin. I have at least one r3 in every class except mutant and a meta counter in every class. I’m about to take sinister or bullseye to r3 unless I pull onslaught anytime soon. I want a good armor break champ since I don’t have venom. I haven’t studied up on her a ton since I didn’t think I would pull her. Is she an autoblock counter? Miss counter? Is she as good as Medusa utility wise unduped?

Medusa does her damage at a predictable pace, isn't reliant on opponent AI, and has permanent or long lasting utility. With Scream, damage and utility can fall off if the opponent or node isn't playing ball.
As long as "True' ability works, Medusa is stressfree, while focusing on maintaining Scream's undermine feels a bit stressful to me.
Personally, this is my favorite rotation for Scream: start by immediately charging heavy--you will auto block the opponent. After you auto block, do a double medium combo and then charge your heavy again. Repeat the heavy double medium cycle three times, and then after the third auto block end on a light combo (so you have three madness) and then throw your sp1. You will get a lot of buffs and then just be as aggressive as you can and try to place as many armor breaks and bleeds on the opponent and then just throw your sp2 (ideally before your buffs wear off.
Usually this kills most opponents but if they have a sliver of health left you can repeat or just finish it however you want, but that start is definitely the most efficient rotation for her IMO.
