One of the reasons Archuria and Rider Kintoki are considered strong is because they are capable of NP spamming. I'm not saying Okita is equal in power to them, but that high NP gain is considered a serious strength.

DPS Servants (not unrelated Support Servants like Tamamo and Jeanne that you have mentioned) with high NP gain can launch their NP a few times in a given number of turns, and thus they deal significant damage. This is no thing to be taken lightly, especially in the case of Okita, who can repeatedly apply defense down with her NP.

When I say Okita is underrated, I don't mean she is as strong as meta Servants. There is a very large difference between being in the meta and being in the bottom of the rankings. People actually say she is trash (look at the comments here) - despite being a Servant with good stats, good NP steroid, good NP gain, good critical damage, good stargen and a dodge. That's what I mean by "underrated".

How is she a definite pick under harsh situations, you ask? She has a dodge, which can guarantee her survival for one turn, she can generate stars and use them with her critical damage amplifier to hit hard even outside of NP turns, and most importantly, she can launch a strong NP often, and reduce defense as a bonus. What it means is, that in the end, she deals a lot more damage compared to many other Servants before the enemy manages to kill them.

I said that Saberlot usually (not always) outperforms her, because he has a better kit and better synergy with the support options available. If a 4* surpasses a 5*, it doesn't mean that 5* is necessarily bad, especially if it is Saber Lancelot, who has an absolutely ridiculous kit.

You have also put some emphasis on contribution to other team members. Okita can reduce defense and generate stars, both count as offensive utility. Also let me remind you that Nero Bride, who you put above Okita for "better teamplay", limits her own damage output when she supports others.

It's very nice that you experimented what I said and all, but how did it go with Okita? You don't share it because you don't want to admit it was as I said?

Once a Servant is ranked low in Appmedia you will start seeing people starting to say they are useless trash. This is so misleading and I hate that.
