Thanks  for the detailed explanation.

I got skill 3 to lvl 10 first without any second thoughts or regret. I often still use it on turn 1 for the Defense and NP gain but I value the 20% Attack up from using the NP with it more, so I prefer using when I can use the NP especially because of how bad her base attack is.

Now that she's finally 10/10/10 thanks to the apocrypha event turn 1, [skill 3 + skill 2 + NP = 20% defence+30% NP gain+3k hp+20% attack] is much more practical.

Up until now she was my best support servant so I would also prioritize mitigating damage and boosting NP gain for my DPS servants. However killing the enemy before they can attack you much is still better better than playing defensive so; DPS> Preemptive damage prevention> Damage mitigation.

Don't misunderstand me I completely agree with your strategy personally whenever I end up prioritized retrograde damage mitigation(not using skill 3 early) its always when I have no Arts cards and several Buster cards so to get the maximum benefit from the skill I save it for the next turn. Not using skill 3 on turn 1 this way means you will have stars and most likely Arts card so there's a chance you could NP +Arts crit then NP again next turn for 40% attack buff is decent.
