it depends on your party but as an offensive caster Liz is better since her NP is Buster (1,5 mult) and she got Mana Burst and burn+curse damage, she really is a offensive oriented caster.

Helena however is a support/damage hybrid caster she can boost party overall damage while dealing some damage and crit star, and depending on your party setup she can make each party member attack hit as hard as her NP (15k for Andersen) for example a pary lineup of Andersen, Helena, and Waver drop enemy defense as far as 80% (other servant with defense down can be used) and she can fill her NP faster than Liz, not to mention she got that A/Q/B up skill that last for three turn which can be used on hybrid teams like Jack, Saber, and Helena team. the downside is without proper investment in skill, her skill boost is quite lacking.

in conclusion Halloween Barthory is better as lone damage dealer, but Helena is Better to boost party overall damage. personally I like Helena since from my experiment she can make a team of Caster Arts barrage hit as hard as Berserker Buster chain while filling their NP with Crit,
