MHX:

1st skill: no matter how "smartly" you using it, it is still RNG based. And beside, in a multi bosses battle, the skill will have a high chance to screwed up the NP controlling tactic, thus screwd up the battle immediately.

2nd skill: awesome, no comment.

3rd skill: Useless. No matter how you interpreting it, like "a lesser Hero Creation" or "Berserker against Saber",  no one going bring her to a Saber fight, ever.

Jack:

1st skill: a STANDARD evade skill that has 6-turns countdown that most of others' evade skill have, so it is not bad but normal rank skill. Plus the "mana burst", it ascends to a good skill ranking. True, it is still inferior to MHX's awesome second skill, but it is still a good skill of it own nevertheless.

About the sacrifice of damage up for the priority of evading, MHX also has to sacrifice her 15 stars saving for the very same reason here, so your point of argument is invalid.

2nd skill: You forgot about the 3-turns critical chance down effect. A skill that both removed the enemy's buff while also debuff them with critical chance down? This is a great skill for any boss fight out there. And if you truly have participated in any challenge quest, you should have know that a 3-turns 30% crit chance down is extremely valuable. Hence the skill is of a Great Rank in any challenge quest.

3rd skill: here I will interpreting it in a easier to understand fashion:

Jack's 3rd skill: Effect: 2.5K heal. Rank: Bad.

Usage: you can use it every 4 turns, in any kind of situation, against any class of enemy.

MHX's 3rd skill: Effect: +Dam & +StarGen against Saber class. Rank: "OMG, it is a lesser "Hero Creation", it is a great skill!!!"

Usage: Here, it's an Archer, people use them to fight Saber Class.

It should be very clear at this point, but which one do you prefer: an awesome skill that has no practical use OR a lame skill that you can use every 4 turns?

Just some chit chat, I have both of them and have deployed them for a long time. Personally, I prefer deploying MHX over Jack because of MHX's "weaker than Jack" attribute, and her cool animation. Sounds contradict, but Jack is too strong hence the battles have became boring whether she appeared.

Oh, and if you try to ask around for the best assassin in-game, the answer is: The best ST assassins are King Hassan and Jack, and the best AOE assassin is Cleopatra.
