Each have different purpose.

Illya still the top Caster for ST NP damage.

Her NP is still on sure-kill against any Assassin enemies. Indeed her NP gain is the weakest among SSR Casters, but that's not problem with currently available CE and more critical Arts support while her Buster demerit can easily covered by CE.

Nero is--say offensive version of Da Vinci.

There's 10/10/10 Summer Nero on my friend list, after 1-hour gacha started. She's good, yes; fast charge, yes; but she can't escape Caster damage modifier as good as Illya did with her kit.

As a result, if you intended to use her as main DPS you need Nightingale / Merlin / someone with Buster Up, to support her NP, her main source of damage; Da Vinci, another AOE Caster, is less offesive than her but her setup allow her to NP spam easier, self-sustaining, which is nice trade-off; so both kinda equal with each of their own strength and weakness.
