Its to cover parts she is lacking under that kit.

Shikibu overall output is low. She hit hard on Valentine quest because 100% damage up. Not to mention, her damage bonus mostly goes to Demon.

Unlike Skadi that more to mitigate need to deliver Quick-based chain, her Quick cards better use to help generate stars. While she doesn't have the critical boost itself she can stall, gave extra defense to let you live and not losing buff until you got enough stars to do. Seems weak, but if you intended to bring her off-class for boost against Demon, she got it reliable enough that you only need a bit of extra push.

So its not to block her capabilities to NP spam. Realistically, nothing dangerous from her NP, just some good off-class provider.
