first of all solo are done for meme, anti-gimmick for certain stage or for click bait. The only practical form of Solo is Last-man-standing which is done by either Heracles or Nero by tradition. You simply don't go Solo, the game are made with 3 servant in field.

second, there's this thing called deck balancing. A balanced deck is not about having a 5 A, 5 Q and 5 B but rather about tweaking the deck slightly so one or two cards are dominant.

With triple buster deck you can lean either to Arts buster or Quick buster.. Arts buster is the easiest since support are 3A most of the time. as such the next member are better with BBAA deck. at least this is part of the building strategy.

also as trivia in practice the only "pure" deck that doesn't suck is Arts but again this depends on the team build.

The next step is consider is team composition, is it 2 attacker one support? is it 1 attacker 2 support? is it 3 attacker type? or god forbid it's 3 support type turtle team?

For zerker in particular you only need to remember that their star weight is absolute garbage, in this game critical star percentage are distributed according to some mechanism. Zerker by default have garbage star weight as such Zerker are more about steady damage rather than burst.

Why? because crit is powerful. a well timed crit could rival even exceed NP, it give more Np bar and stars. there's literally no demerit from crit. This is however both strength and weakness, it's a weakness since Zerker have harder time hitting crit, it's good because it lets other people crit easier.

as such Zerker with AoE buff like Ibaraki are somewhat suited as 3rd member in 1 support 2 damage team. the main damage dealer are up to you.

However Vlad are arguably better in filling Ibaraki position. Ibaraki have advantage in team buff, however Vlad offer a more balanced deck of BBAAQ, this means that it's easier to build a focused deck with him and also it's easier to pair him with other servant like BBAQQ deck.

However let me end this with simple advice, you don't need to think bout it that hardly.. all that I said above are not useful for most team since you can make any team and it just worked as long as class affinity is good.

When is it useful you ask? later down the road when you get bored with normal team and wanted to build a meme team, or man-mixing team..
