She is doable for challenge quests. Her second skill means she won't take extra damage from Zerkers, and that, alongside the def buff, means she won't get one shoted by a stray crit. She has pretty good NP gain (NPAA or NPBA chains with crits are pretty good to spam her NP), and her guts, while not particularly good as a guts skill, can still save her bacon.

The Effects on her NP (Invi Pierce and NP Damage UP) are both great. If you plan on using her for challenging quests, I'd recommend trying to get her at least NP2. The difference is pretty big.

There are better DPS Casters for Challenge quests (Nursery Rhyme, for example, with the right setup, can NP loop very easily), but she is pretty decent at it.
