She's not bad. She's just not absurd like Merlin or whatever. If you got looped in by the appmedia garbage comments, it is a load of bull. That being said, she has specific uses and if you're looking at maximizing her usage, I can give some ideas for that. But first, there's one thing you probably shouldn't be using her for: exp hand dailies. Exp hand dailies have a knight class paired with a horseman class. This makes her likely to run into stuff that resists her which isn't good. While I don't recommend grabbing her as support for qp dailies, the fact that you already have her changes things. Unless you have more servants who can fire off quickly, she'll do nicely. Slap any of the event CEs that give 50% gauge and she'll be able to use her first skill to charge up right away. She's not the most amazing at door farming but she should be plenty to wipe out wave 1, letting you reserve other NPs for later waves. Just for quick clearing.

Beyond this, Kiara's uses are basically spelled out by her class. Having 3 weaknesses, you're not going to want to just jam her in a catch all team. There's a good chance she'll have a number of enemies resisting her which makes other servants better to put in. What she does well is existing in an arts team that's fighting horseman classes, often classes with self covering. For example an assassin boss backed up with rider mobs to discourage you from bringing casters to just beat down the boss. Kiara solves this by just cleaning out all of them. She also is strong against rulers which is a general rarity and immediately gives her certain value.

If I had to describe Kiara's role, she's a strange one. Once again, it is dictated by her class, not as much a normal role. When the conditions where she's best are met, her role is a minor NP spam servant who has a versatile set of skills. When paired with Tamamo, you have a pair of gauge draining skills and Tamamo decreasing cooldowns. She's relatively tanky and has a defensive skill. Her clairvoyance beast almost ensures your debuffs will land. Tamamo with Kiara is probably going to generally be the way to go with the third slot more fluid. Edison seems like a reasonable choice as does perhaps Shuten. I'd say that more than anything else, she's an annoyance for annoying enemies.
