Strength:

TM favoritism power. All skills possessing good effects also rank A by average including her passive (it'll be hard finding character with same skills able to top her). Good stats, good hit count, able to NP spam. Once again justifying "There is no bad Archer" rules on FGO.

Weakness:

I'd say two, with all of it minor that players can easily solved it through various method.

First, an AAQQB deck indeed good on supporting her NP spam at cost of lower normals damage, making her regular damage fairly low compare to other SSR Archer powerhouse like Gil and Ishtar, especially when you run her on dedicated Arts team that expected to have overall low normals damage until NP kicks in; could be bad on damage race situation.

Second, her NP value lessened as the game goes.

By comparison, to another Arts Archer(s): Euryale have boost against male enemies, EMIYA Alter have ignore defense on top of NP Drain, Chloe have ignore evasion and reduce enemies critical chance (and she is free NP 5); later, Chiron bring defense buff removal, critical reduce and party support kit that he is totally OK if he's not the team focus whenever you need.

While NP Drain and NP Charge are easily good no matter the situation, in JP Server gimmick and insane critical damages appears often enough that guaranteed NP spam and possible 'One more turn' she offers didn't stand as amazing as before considering cost of deploying SSR while those with lower rarities can reach NP spam similar to her aside of bring better deal by allowing you having more SSR CE to deal with bosses.
