I have a level 100 + 2000/2000 + 10/10/10 with an NP4 to go along with it. She's unreasonably powerful with this much attack and in most challenge quests it's incredibly easy to launch 2 NPs within the first 3 turns and reduce whatever you're fighting (except the foreigner opponents) to rubble. To prevent RNG + provide additional NP gain, I use a mage suit to get the cards I want and an additional 20% charge. Unless there's an event CE, I almost always start with Golden Sumo, the combination of NP gauge start (you need to kill fast, she's fragile) and attack is simply too good. If you just want to complete a challenge with the least fuss (and it's a single opponent), simply grab Merlin or Waver (or both if you own one) and watch the destruction. It's absurd and very effective against multiple HP bars. From memory an NPBB chain can easily do 400k+ damage without crits.

Usually I clear the first two HP bars out of 3 within 3 turns and then simply finish the fight normally. Because she is so fragile she usually dies before her skills come off cooldown, but that's fine.

I used a combination of taunts to keep her alive the entire duration of the pre-nerf nero fight. Used in such a manner, you will realise that her NP gain for a berserker is only rivalled by Raikou. Plus, that debuff immunity really came in handy when you delete Jack and Amakusa quickly.

If you have no intention of grailing her - none of this is possible. She won't do enough damage and dies even faster. She is still great for farming due to her dispoable nature and the 60% NP gauge boost over 3 turns, but challenge quests are a no-no. Even at 100 it's possible for challenge bosses to sometimes crit her in 1 turn if they have crit steroids (urgh, anniversary Lartoria Alter fight).

Anyway, she's perhaps the berserker that profits most from grails and NP upgrades. Personally, she's a true berserker even in resource management. Either grail her to 100 or don't grail at all.
