I don't think that Carmilla is better than Jack at all with this. Carmilla hits harder with Merlin, yes. However, would you really want to use Carmilla with Merlin? The biggest prey for Carmilla/Jack would normally be female riders/berserkers. The latter we can tackle easily. If it is a zerk, it is better to just hit harder while in the proper card compositions anyway. This you'd typically use Jalter or the like. Carmilla's quick cards just like Jack's would be a bit oddly placed though Carmilla's moreso due to Jack's standalone capability. In a neutral position, you're better off just using something with class advantage. If riders and thus you don't want to use Merlin, then that takes away Carmilla's damage edge. Yes, she hits slightly harder with her NP but she won't be able to spam it like Jack, can't defend herself, and doesn't generate stars like Jack. In absence of Merlin, Jack's damage output is still significantly higher against females. There's also the fact that Carmilla's buff is only for the NP. Jack's persists throughout the turn, meaning she's dealing an extra 50% damage while she's brave chaining which more than makes up the difference. So no, Jack is not dethroned in any way.
