Just because a skill is party-wide, like charisma, doesn't make it necessarily a support skill.

Same goes for the second one. It's targetable sure, but you have to really consider who would benefit the most from that skill. In most team comps, it would be Maid Alter herself; or another support like Skadi/Waver. The reason I said this is because 1) Maid Alter is rider 2) Her charisma boosts quick.

For riders to work as secondary support, they'd have to be damn well be good since riders hog all the crit stars. Even worse, Maid Alter's "supportive" skill is meant for quick units, who tend to rely on crits for damage. Considering that Maid Alter has no passive star generation skill, to function as a support she would have to pair with a dps with either a very high star weight, or someone who can produce a massive amount of stars by themself that star distribution won't be a problem.

Even if you did fulfill these difficult criteria, you would still be faced with the question of why you can't just bring Chiron, Hans, Waver, or Skadi instead of Maid Alter? They have better supporting skills and better cooldowns. If you need a semi-dps, there were also better alternatives like Wu Zetian. Even Jalter, Liz, or Carmilla can work better as dps-support hybrid.

Hence my argument - She can support, but Maid Alter's value in that regards is extremely low. She works much more better as dps.
