What he is saying is how Merlin slowly but surely became someone you need for majority of the quest.

It does have the point though.

Multiple layer HP bar does demand your team to stay longer; testing capabilities to keep good amount of stars, fill your NP fine enough, proper heal / debuff because no telling when the battle ended or how the battle will developed, also party invincibilities / total damage cut to anticipate whatever thrown when HP breaks.

So far, the only team capable to do all of that properly without Merlin is Arts-based team, mainly because their vast abilities and capabilities to fill NP regularly by Arts Chain.
