Objectively speaking, Kiyohime has the lowest ATK lean out of all 3* Berserkers (slightly lower than Caligula, even), and in overall total stats she loses out to Darius, her closest comparison. She also only has a 24% DEF buff as survivability, so she won't be able to take too much despite having the highest HP among 3* 'zerks. She doesn't have an upgraded NP either.

That said, between the game mechanics, her hit counts and her natural NP gain rate, she arguably has the highest NP gain rates among all 3* Berserkers (Darius can probably reach this, but this needs his Golden Rule, probably leveled), and she has the highest passive Buster buff possible, plus an eventual strengthening quest that buffs her Buster cards even more. Counting 1000 Fou, Lv10 Stalking and Lv10 Flame Kiss, her NP burst turn outstrips Darius' despite the ATK difference and unupgraded NP. Admittedly buffs from other sources and CE choices might alter the results. There's also how she's Female/Evil/Dragon, as the poster above said.

On the other hand, this assumes you have the resources and willingness to level up her skills. Darius is probably the better budget option as he doesn't really need much skill investment to perform particularly well as an AoE sweeper.

On the other other hand, Kiyohime is overall a more interesting(and dangerous) character and participates in more events than Darius does.
