Hey Amil, nice to see you!

I'll admit, there might be a potential disadvantage with the reloads, and the maximum number of elements used and whatnot, but Fang Shui's ammo feed uses more than just raw Dust particles. It fires off Dust-tipped bullets, solid-state caseless Dust rounds (ground from crystals or fused from particles), and nitrocelluose-styled Dust rounds akin to the ammo of the HK G11, which covers all the projectile types that use Dust elements. She can also stack ballistic Dust rounds in alternate patterns when loading her magazines, which should be able to constantly feed a barrage of opposing Dust elements against Hydromancy.

Now, given that a single Ice Dust round from Crescent Rose was able to freeze large parts of the Paladin, and Nadir's feet off, it shouldn't take a lot of rounds to counter whatever water trick Cay has on her sleeve. The time Nora was electrocuted with a Lightning Dust round should add to the thesis that Dust rounds tend to cover a sizable area as well.

Even if she was using pure Dust particles, she can also change the state of the particles, which means she can generate solid-state Dust blades out of Fang Shui (i.e. a solid blade of superheated magma), laser beams, and "beam sabers" out of the particles (the last two require the use of the crystal as well). The blades should last quite longer than if they were just shot out as loose particles. It should also be noted that the magazines containing the Dust particles use drilled in slots full of condensed particles, and that Fang Shui can also switch elements.
