When you say niche, you have to take into account not just the roles they can fill in, but how good they are in those roles and how often would they be used on various battles.

Vlad III can taunt.. for one turn. Plus he doesn't have any invul/guts that let him tank NPs, and his defense buffs come at an opportunity cost of healing. Which means that he'd rarely be able to use this part of him effectively in most cases. Which means that he's usually used as a boss killer in certain stages with certain bosses.

Compared to Liz, who can participate in any stage depending on who your dps servant is. I'd say that she's more universal than Vlad; and hence less niched.
