Even if 'her deck grants flexibility' it still depends on Servant kit as a whole.

Raikou have AAQBB but her universal damage boost is locked behind crits and cost you a dodge so there's consideration of her need to crits. Not to mention her NP being AOE that aims for her star-gen need fall hard against single enemy, especially if you not doing Brave Chain that's not involving her Arts or Quick.

OTOH Alterjuna offers 50% boost, 80% if you can afford debuffs-- multiplied if you use his NP beforehand. His high NP generation rate complement the deck very well and you can do it to any kind of enemies as long they have no regular cleanse / permanent immunity; no pressure it have to be a crit-oriented team, his Bond CE only make it better.

Second skill is basically, "You wanted me to hit as hard as ST Buster NP? Okay then", enjoy 120% boost now with crits. The fact it only aim Buster card made it less intrusive compare to Raikou's EAM if you wanted someone other than him using stars; argument of using cardlock benefits Alterjuna because that means you may enjoy 50% to 120% Buster Brave Chain, with crits, for three turns; possible three HP bar break without need of enemy being Divine.

Third skill seems bad, but you can force turn end with Guts in case he's the last to survive on his team. With his kit, should be enough for last 50% to 80% Buster Brave.

So, while Raikou can score higher if enemies are Divine, Alterjuna have more consistent performance and able to help himself.
