Firs skill >>> 2nd skill even after upgrade.

Instant 30% charge so that you can actually NP helps you significantly more than the stats. Even if you aren't running a super dedicted Arts team, getting your Arts NP sooner just provides so much utility in practice for chaining with teammates.

If you're trying to beatstick regular mobs with Vlad (which isn't what I'd call ideal use of him in general), the extra attack is likely overkill given Vlad's base stats are already high enough to kill weak enemies with Buster cards. Any quest in contrast that has any degree of reasonable difficulty, first skill's charge reduction is almost guaranteed to be better at keeping you and your team alive longer on top of the fact Arts NP is huge team utility.
