why not use that useful blogpost ArthurBestHusbando made as easier way to make comparison? It'll be really clear that compared to skill with roughly same utility Abigail skill is among the worse off if not straight up the worst.

Then again I already wrote quite a long thought bout Abigail before but in gist I agree with Zienn that it's way way too weak for anything be it skill wise or team utility wise.. I think the summary is something like this

skill wise Abigail is like Helena 2.0.. the effect of the skill might be good but the cooldown are way too long.. and some of it are locked behind RNG bar.

Utility wise she's too weak to be used as support and too weak to be used as main attacker, especially with Hokusai as her only competitor in the same class that are everything she's not; both great support and attacker.

Her NP is her only merit but using her but because of everything else using her on normal basis is not recommended, at least for gameplay reason : She did not give you stars, her NP charge is slow, her team buff/debuff are easily replaceable by something else and she lack any class advantage on top of really awkward mix-matching card-NP.. Abigail basically need Merlin support if you want her to highroll but even then she's just okay since using Merlin means she's the main attacker and as main attacker she's okay at best.

compare it to Hokusai who also lack class advantage but have that ultra fast NP charge, decent star generator rate, modifier against servant on top of actually can defend herself.. her skill cooldown is low to boot..

Even doing something like fixing one of Abigail skill will probably end up as Okay servant that are not bottom of the pyramid but she need EMIYA treatment to be considered good.. and it's quite funny that she also have EMIYA deck atm.. I mean there's must be something wrong when a class specialized against Zerker is not your first choice to go against Zerker...
