let me think about it. Could you please explain how it is a nerf?

It has both cons and pros:

PROS:

-can status proc survivors, slowing them down with tesla form

-sets survivors on fire and stuns them in inferno form as a surprise attack

-has a ranged attack, which lays down shrapnel that damage and slow survivors

'''-Primary attack is ranged, which is something only a few zombies can do, excluding fire elemental and brute. (Edgar doesn't really count)'''

-Decent speed lets it chase stragglers (As well as ranged attack)

-Great area denial

-Immune to damage unless all crystals are shattered

CONS:

-Easily knocked down, and becomes incredibly vunrable.

-Easily gang-banged by survivor groups

-Can't climb ladders or jump very high

-Low damage in general

-Ranged attack is arching, and requires aimling slighty higher for drop compensation (Which requires more skill)

-Most easily tripped with short range weapons that don't shatter the crystals on it's body upon impact, like rambo and normal melee, giving them both more use.

-Ranged attacks must be used conservatively as the crystals take a while to regen
