Is she better? Yeah. Is she now not the weakest 5 star berserker? Hm... Probably not. I think she still is. This isn't because she's outright horrible. It is more that there's not really one for her to pass up. Cu Alter and Raiko are pretty top tier as far as strength and flexibility go and don't need to be questioned. Vlad is a speial team case. In an arts team he's quite good. If you don't have Tamamo, Nero bride, or Waver or someone similar to help him through things (but really Tamamo), then he's not so good I think. He needs his specific team to perform but once he has it, he does very well. I think Kintoki's burst damage easily passes up what MHXA can do and Nightingale is so different that I wouldn't try to compare. Then there's Hijikata but I think his damage output is easier to do than hers.

The biggest issues with MHXA is her suvivability. She utterly lacks a way to stay alive. At max, her heal skill does just a 3k heal which isn't a lot for a berserker. Also considering that she can't slot into a quickish team while receiving any meaningful value for her heal power increase, it is basically a vanilla 3k heal with nothing else. I would sort of like her first skill to give her heal per turn in addition to the main heal. That way she can keep herself topped off a bit and have more longevity. Otherwise it seems a little out of place and while she can do her job alright, she has issues living long enough to do it well. Hence her squishiness causes her issues. With someone like Kintoki, you don't need time to get him to do jis job. He just does it and is done. The best berserkers either do their job quickly or have tools to significantly help them survive longer. Also in practice, invisible sovereign's hand doesn't feel like it operates with the level of certainty that the mechanic implies.
