@Shikifan actually 3rd and 2nd skill have an complementary effect to make her stun proc more reliably at least for one target, in retrospect her skill is actually quite solid minus the cooldown. Which is why I said she's another Helena. All of Helena skill is really good but compared to similar skill the cooldown is just too long.

@Valeth : I think I already state my position about solo, that it's way too anedoctal to be used as standard. Sure Marie can solo some battle but does it means that servant is good? I even see someone solo Tristan with Tamamo before so what? you're saying Tamamo is good enough to solo? Solo-ing boss doesn't give us the correct picture of that servant at all, it's just one off thing based on the compatibility between the boss and the servant.

What I said when I won't pick abigail for Zerker is simple, that using other servant and taking the 1.5 damage are faster and more efficient than using Abigail. Zerker by nature  is weak to everything so in practice anything can replace Gaijin for Zerker. To elaborate even further, Abigail is a drag against mob zerker, and she's a drag vs boss zerker due to how low her damage is. She is also a drag as support due to her long cooldown and overall weaker skill.

For mob obviously using AoE based team is usually better for that kind of fight and for the boss fight something that can actually kill enemy faster than Abigail is preferable. Abigail ONLY merit is that she could remove buff but to be honest that trait are not tad rare because there's stuff like Martha, Jack, Osakabe, Amakuso, BB, Medea and so on and so forth. Not to mention depends on the skill type there might be better counter like pierce-invul, remove evasion, Antares snipe, etc. Heck if you're crazy enough like me to level mephisto you can even prevent the buff rather than dealing with the aftermath if you want.

Rather than cooldown I really hoped that they'll fix abigail overall performance,, namely NP gain from attack, and star generated. Weakness of Abigail is that if you don't support her she's mediocre to low, and if you support her she's at best mediocre to high and the reason is that each time you pick her cards you get really low return.. and by that I meant REALLY low as low as Astolfo.. You pull a full Arts brave chain with Abigail and end up with barely 50% np bar and barely 10 critical stars.. you pull ABQ and you barely get a 20% NP bar and hardly a better than 15 stars on top of really low damage, and so on and so forth.

Still at the topic of Abigail as the supported servant, at this point I realize that there's no point in picking her cards, each Abigail cards that I pull starting to seems like a pollution in the card pool. Each time I use her cards I feels like she's going nowhere, it's weak, filling NP is always seems like a great journey, and even with multiple 2030 + Waver + Hans and constant crit it only slightly make her better which is really bad because if I use the exact same setup for something else like EMIYA, Chloe or god-forbid Hokusai then I'll get double if not triple of what Abigail gave me in the exact same setup. . not to mention you're doomed if you get nuked.. It's just one dissatisfaction after another.
