Gorgon + Merlin + MHXA was just an example to make a point. Gorgon has crit DPS potential but no star absorb skill like JAlter does to compensate for the Avenger's low star weight. While you could use Merlin's Hero Creation EX on MHXA, why would you do that when you can further pump up someone like Gorgon who has a crit damage boost skill of their own? Not that you can't of course, but I simply feel you'll get more mileage by buffing someone with any form of crit damage up.

The main point was in the first paragraph. MHXA should not immediately be designated as the crit DPS purely based on the fact that she has no crit damage boosting skills, active or passive, to further work with. The only exception to this is if you're running a team where she is the only effective DPS like Mashu + Merlin + MHXA. And as a main DPS, I honestly believe that NP spam is a much better option for her.

And people are fine with Lancelot being support reliant because he quite simply cannot sustain himself, nor can he support the team. Comparatively, MHXA lies somewhere around the median in this regard. She supports the team by dumping some stars with Instinct (as a supplement, not as a main star source) and redirecting them along with providing a party wide attack buff with Sovereign, and receives support due to being fragile and needing outside assistance to get better mileage off Infinite Sweets. She can also be a main DPS in the ways you've described, despite the arguments here, and still work well enough in that role. And she can do both at the same time in situations where you're trying to kill a Saber boss that's surrounded by other classes. She doesn't excel at anything in particular but she can do a good number of things at once.
