1) Drake NP Gain is lower. So Maid Alter > Drake

While Drake NP Gain is low, being Rider with high star absorb, NP that granted stars, and skills to allow her hit NP ASAP-- Unless you never play as Drake, you should know that a single Arts critical from her is that good, compensate her low NP gain properly even without NP Gain buff, Golden Rule just make it as good as one could expect from her.

I'd say for this part, comparison to Maid Alter is clear. As clear as many Maid Alter in my Friend List wear NP Gain CE while Drake can going anywhere with her usual Mona Lisa / Final Destination / Buster Up CE.

2) Drake HP is lower. So Maid Alter > Drake

Scheherazade HP is higher than Merlin-- those who depends on Merlin must be blind for not realizing such fact that higher HP easily made you better than your competitor.

3) Drake skill is selfish. So Maid Alter > Drake

J. Alter is that kind of selfish too, mind you.

One special charisma and two skills dedicated to her own performance, very unlike Maid Alter that have party buff skill with cooldown reduction similar to Tamamo, yet J. Alter stands as the top Servant until today, way above Maid Alter.

4) Maid Alter NP Multiplier is higher. So Maid Alter > Drake.

Since we're going to personal level. Personally, I'd chose (AOE NP + Stars) + NP Spam kit + Invincibility Pierce over powerful (ST NP + Critical Debuff) + uncertain output aside of damage.

5) People said, if this skill have faster cooldown ...

Sorry, but not everyone like that. It truly depends on your skill management. In fact, I hardly heard any experienced players said something like that; at some point having someone get faster cooldown than other party member, at cost of 1000 HP that only paid well if the user generated stars as well may resulted on miscalculation which, in reality, make it doesn't stand as good as Tamamo's NP.
