If you are a relatively new player and thinking about picking LAlter, I entreat you to consider Gorgon instead. In my opinion, if you are not yet at a point where you have a AoE and ST NP servant of each class yet, the Avenger class is an excellent stepping stone to fill in those gaps. Once you become a veteran and fill out your roster, having an Avenger or two remains valuable to taking out those rare but difficult to kill Ruler enemies.

LAlter attack (with Lancer multiplier) = 10,467. Gorgon attack (with Avenger multiplier) = 11,776. This gives Gorgon a large advantage against neutral targets.

Both servants have powerful NPs. LAlter's chance to seal NP can be quite valuable against the Archer servants that she is designed to destroy. Gorgon's NP refund, on the other hand, can make both farming and more challenging content easier for players with weaker rosters.

A skills comparison is open to more preference interpretation. LAlter's Mana Burst and Gorgon's Monstrous Strength are roughly equivalent for newer players. As you fill out your roster, damage type compounding can matter. I won't go into that in this post though as that is more a later game concept.

LAlter's Blessing from the End of World and Gorgon's Demonic Mutation will likely have many opinions. LAlter's skill is the easier to use. As such, I give it the advantage for new players; however, I think Gorgon's skill is better overall. Gorgon gets a 3 turn 50% crit damage compared to LAlter's 1 turn 50% crit damage. Once you get a decent craft essence or can borrow the right support, Gorgon's skill will lead to better damage and includes a guts. Hard defense or guts is something LAlter lacks.

Finally, LAlter's Charisma skill is useful. Charisma skills are always good. Unfortunately, it is relatively weak. It probably will not come in critical for farming and may not "make the difference" in more challenging content for newer players. Gorgon's Mystic Eyes skill is a dependable stun. Even at just skill level 6, it provides an 80% stun chance. It may not provide improved farming, but it increases Gorgon's usefulness in more challenging content for newer players. Later in game when Gorgon becomes a Ruler killer for you, it remains just as useful.

In conclusion, LAlter is the overall better servant for wrecking Archers and a servant that most players will want to add to their roster. Gorgon is an excellent servant to give players with weaker rosters a boost up and remains valuable for wrecking Rulers as your roster grows.
