QLZ-04 is a completely generic AGL with a focus on debuffing the enemy. She does not bring good Pierce like ATWs and she does not deal good Damage like MTRs. All in all this makes her pretty useless.
Due to her lackluster kit, QLZ is generally considered the least useful HOC and is at the bottom of the barrel for fielding more of them.

How should I prioritize this HOC?
Full Analysis
QLZ-04 debuffs enemies through her Skill 1 and Skill 2, the first one reducing enemy Evasion and Accuracy and the second applying a minor +12 DMG effect (which doesn't even work in the few cases where these small numbers would've had an effect, like Othrus Shields).
Due to being an AGL (no clearly defined role like ATWs and MTRs) combined with her focus on applying debuffs, she is extremely lackluster compared to almost all other HOCs.
QLZ-04 is an AGL with basic AGL targeting, prioritizing Force Shielded enemies but otherwise completely random.
Since QLZ-04's Pierce stat isn't as high as AGS-30 and she also doesn't have the luxury of a skill that improves her shield breaking ability, QLZ-04 won't be a particularly good choice as solo support when it comes to breaking down a significant amount of Force Shield. Her regular damage is fairly lacking too due to a low Lethality stat, and it's not recommended to use QLZ-04 as the only HOC support when facing enemies whose Force Shield must be depleted.
Furthermore, QLZ-04's debuffs are only applied to her primary target unlike most other HOCs that affect every single unit in their attack range.
While it will be fairly rare for QLZ-04 to see use over the other HOCs (especially since her rarity will be locked to 4-star or lower until Theater 4), her 3 range and decent Pierce does mean QLZ-04 won't be totally worthless in situations where the player needs as many HOCs as possible.
Trivia
The QLZ-04 Grenade Launcher is a Chinese grenade launcher that replaced the older QLZ-87 in 2004. The launcher is backwards-compatible with older ammunition, but can be belt-fed. When fully loaded, it's slightly heavier than the AGS-30.
