That is the intended design. Any buff to him solo would likely make him overpowered with the trio, because he is very strong there.

I have Guillaume alone but I'm not worried about buffing him, I'm not using him until I get one of the other Sneers (saying this as the guy who has and will continue to use solo Jackalopes just because)

As someone with the sneers that loves to spam them as much I as I can I can assure Alfred doesn't need any buffs
Alfred Guillaume is a combo that can work perfectly fine, he jumps from 350 to 550, that's an insane amount for a turret with revive plus leech, and Guillaume is a bulkier Daisy, the sneers don't have a problem individually, their issue is the commitment and how much you have to spend. Plus if you go for the full combo just one of them dying severely cripples the others, if we were to look for a buff for them , I would look for something to help them when they are together, instead of making them better alone cause that's not what the devs designed them to do
One of their biggest issues are pullers since 2 of them are 1 movement they have little to no space to move around

I paid for the Butlers trio and I can safely say I am happy with Alfred as he stands. They are each rather weak solo, but overwhelmingly strong together. Alfred and Guillaume are decent enough when paired together. The pain comes from Doloris, who is not really worthwhile until all three are in play. So it sucks that the UR is the one who pairs well with the UC, so unless you own Alfred, you can't play the trio at all.
If you just own Alfred, you'll get Guillaume soon enough. He's an uncommon.
