Well, NP1 Nightingale does a 3k heal. NP5 Hans does 3x 1k heals. NP1 Merlin does 5x 1k heals. At NP5, Nightingale is a 5k and Merlin is 5x 2k. So NP for NP, Nightingale is on par with Hans heal and for anything greater than NP1 exceeds him. His is just more convenient being split up and he can spam it better. On the other hand, hers provides far more defensive utility. I'd also mention that Nightingale has 15221 hp while Hans has 8484. Factoring in stuff like fous and CEs, he's almost as squishy as she is just due to raw stat difference. Bear in mind that she also has a big damage reducing NP, a healing skill, and a humanoid defense skill while he has a chance defense on his NP and a defense down demerit on one of his. Neutral attack against Hans vs weakness on Nightingale is fairly close to even. Is she Merlin? No. Does she need to be babied to a degree? Yeah. But so does Hans. Frankly, berserker class hurts. It really does. Switch her class and she'd be considered great. Switch her deck to only one buster and she'd instantly be considered amazing. Like sort of jeanne but less tank and more support power. At the end of the day, you're just not going to be happy because being a zerker means that in order to satisfy what you want from her, her skills would need to outstrip every other healer and defensive servant by enough miles to make up for the class. And yet it'd still leave her somewhat present DPS capability intact. Not happening.

Well unless some arts servant comes out which negates class advantage for 3 turns as part of the NP...
