I say they both have their pros and cons. Karna's NP gain is much more salvageable due to his 'better' hit counts and NP gauge up, as well as devastating three turns crit and practically 1 turn A rank mana burst after his NP. Also note that his NP hits RIDICULOUSLY hard after his interlude. However, he indeed lacks star abs which is something to be left desired due to lancers below average crit abs.

Lancer Alter rectifies that due to her broken second skill, as well as her A+ mana burst which only begs us to use Merlin with her, but there's undeniably large NP gain gap between two lancers.

With Merlin in the scenario, Karna gains more benefit due to multiplicative buffs as well as 3 turns crit.
