pfft, if you think that's the 'efficient' team you're goddamn wrong, as if a lone JAlter is a 'team'. If I'm seriously trying to make her "efficient" she'll do the same job in one turn. 3 turns are way above my ideal Buster since it means enemy have time to retaliate.. not to mention she's lone combatant so she's actually are taking risk from lone RNG so at the very least I will equip Anniv Blonde (I didn't, used the Gakuran). Compared to Arts and Quick, most Buster servant lacking the ability to adapt to enemy gimmick, therefore the best way is to kill the enemy before they can do any gimmick...

my point is lone JAlter, the top class of buster servant pretty much show us how to roll in Buster team by herself, compared to a tank team that took 30+ turns to accomplish, she probably can do in 10 turns with full support. she's the peak of an efficient buster servant, the example of efficiency we should seek when going for buster; which is the efficiency of fast kill. As the top of the top JALter just that good compared to other buster oriented but you can use someone like Hijikata, Lezbo Archer, Rama, LAlter, Kintoki, Gawain, or Raikou whatever that suited the situation the best to receive same result.. just keep the philoshopy of fast kill in mind.. otherwise there's no point of going Buster and you better end take the arts route with that so many requirement like buff heal or whatever.

The problem of your argument is that you forgot that each type have different strategy, and if we going to broaden it each servant also have different strategy.. some facilitate high speed kill, others are geared towards prolonged fight regardless of their type... Tho i have to admit each have different roster that limit the span of their strategy.. but if you can facilitate an "efficient" buster team, there's no reason they can't win the fight. What Merlin does is pushing the potential of Buster team by quite a lot by giving them the complete support tool they needed.. for Arts? not so, only 1 or prolly 2 of his skill are useful, don't ask me bout Quick it's still mystery for me.

The weakness of Buster team is that for long fight it's hard to keep everyone alive,, therefore hard as fuck to do a no death run.. but at least I managed to do the Valentine boss rush with the so called "efficient" Buster team of JAlter Merlin and SAlter.. it's a coincidence from my failed attempt of 15 turns kill.. it failed tho since It took me 17 turns.. however this is an exception among exception because I had to borrow Merlin.. if I'm not aiming for 15 turns I won't think bout using this guy on Buster team, he clearly make the game way too easy!!
