Super late, but whatever.

I don't know where you heard that AoE is the best type of NP since I don't think that's ever been the case, regardless of region. ST NP have always been more efficient at killing bosses due to their higher damage. In any case, Shirou is good because he has a spammable buff removal NP that happens to be AoE, not the other way around.

As for him being better than Sherlock, that's more debatable. Sherlock definitely requires a better team comp and a better knowledge of the game (compared to Merlin who's basically "hurr durr mana burst for the attacker, use invul for enemy NP, spam charisma and spam Merlin's NP"). Sherlock is honestly I'd say just as good as Shirou in terms of his potential to deal damage and spam his NP. Personally, I think Sherlock is actually better overall.
