There are a couple notes that I'd put out first. If collecting. Saint Martha's skills need to be leveled for her to perform. So she requires a greater investment (also involving dragon tooths). Her bond CE kinda helps a good amount too.

1. Mental debuffs are a subcategory of debuffs. Just imagine it like this. A mental debuff is on the mind. So burn wouldn't be a mental debuff. Charm is a mental debuff. So is NP seal.

2. Yes, Kuuhaku covers this one.

3. I think that for support it depends. Martha is a dedicated healer and supporter. Tristan provides spot support but really aims to do some crowd clearing DPS. Tristan can support but it isn't his only job.

Another few things I should mention. You have Jeanne whose NP provides party debuff removal. Perhaps you want more but I thought I should add it just in case. Of course, if you want a dedicated one to do this job and support, Medea Lily is a monster of a healer who also cleanses and being a caster has low star absorption. Tristan may fall short of Martha in terms of support but his harp of healing's main purpose isn't so much healing as it is the ability to completely negate most NPs. The heal amouunt is pretty minor but it is primarily a defensive tool. Or at least that's how I use David's. A lot will depend on what kind of team you want to run. If you want a pure supporter, choose Martha or Medea Lily. If you want someone who is generally flexible with some support options, choose Tristan. Just note that Tristan wouldn't be my first arts team choice even if he can be made to work and that Martha does not work without some pretty hefty investment. Low skill Tristan will easily beat out low skill Martha even in her own job just because his defensive options will outweight her meager heal.
