She can work as a tank pre-interlude, but a lot and I mean a lot of her defensive potential comes from NP spam, something that is much harder without the NP upgrade.

If you already have someone who can tank for you, ascending her is less of a priority as Jeanne's a unit that really shines in high-stakes boss battles or enemy rushes. Outside of those, she's usually not necessary. If you think that you need Tomoe dealing damage more than Jeanne soaking it up than just ascending Tomoe and wait a bit to gather the materials again. As long as you aren't about to challenge the big bosses like Camelot's KoTR or such, Jeanne shouldn't be absolutely necessary and even if you need one you can grab a support.

Basically: Tomoe's more useful in a general sense for anything you might need an Archer for, whereas Jeanne w/NP upgrade is beyond useful for difficult boss battles and rushes but not particularly important for anything that isn't a serious threat. Is it better to have a powerful unit that is good for most battles or a specialized unit that only truly shines in the few difficult ones but is incredibly useful there?
