Very solid Rider.

A few reason people think of her as "weak":

1. Her growth curve is reverse S. Meaning that she wouldn't get much stats increase per level except the very last few levels and the very beginning. It's very flat in between, giving some players that illusion when not leveling her to 90.

2. Her NP is AOE. Don't expect ST dmg out of that. And comparing to another 5* aoe rider (Iskandar), she can use it more frequently thanks to her 3 as well as golden rule.

3. Also comparing to Iskandar, she can get stars a lot more frequently and reliably without relying on burst turn. Iskandar with the help of his 3 can get solid stars out of his NP, but Drake can do it any day. Her 3 also provides you instant stars.

Also, voyager of the storm is a fantastic skill.

Side comment: I don't understand where @lazycatzzz is going with their statement. Riders generally have higher star pull, which is a fantastic thing to have. Innate 1.0 multiplier isn't bad. It's better than the second highest pull class archer who has 0.95 multiplier iirc. Saying rider is a bad class... You really need to add more to your point. It is frankly a very intriguing statement.
