If you get a brave chain with her NP, she will often get her full NP bar back in that one chain, espeically if you crit, allowing her to use her NP just about every turn with little to no outside help. Another thing that makes her absolutely amazing is that her NP drains an NP bar from the enemies, in some fights you can keep them NP lock for pretty much forever. For other fights, where the boss gains NP passively, she can dely the NP long enough until you get your Invulnerably skill/NP back. Since this game usually revolves around surviving the enemy's NP, this can often be the difference between winning and losing.

If not for Merlin and Zhuge Liang and their crit buff, she would easily beat Gil as the best Archer in the game.
