She's in an OK spot, and most people are undervaluing and overvaluing her. Her Quick generation is what mainly holds her back from being rated highly. They lowered it bit too much to compensate for her huge self quick buffing, and she suffers for it. Thankfully she has two arts and can gain NP relatively quickly if you focus on critting with those. Her NP damage is actually pretty huge with reload used twice, hitting higher then NP2 Ozy and Kintoki. Of course Ozy will make up for it with a Buster chain after, and Kintoki has the option of extra overcharge damage and fast np gen. NPAA with Maid will get you to 60-80 NP depending on CE and your team, so she can't exactly NP spam unless you field a team to specialize in buffing her, but she can NP more frequently then you'd think. I've seen people compare her NP gen to Astolfo which is flat out wrong. She has above average arts and if you crit on it, she gains a solid amount. In a game where you should just be using what you like, you can use her and get through most things, even challenge quests will be fine. I also think there's some interesting potential in her Coaching, getting Mashu's defense buff down to 5 turns or Merlin's party invincibility down a turn could be useful. I've had some fun using it on Hans and getting stars with 1 turn downtime is nice.
