I don't understand how anybody can look at MHXA, see that her third skill is a targetable decrease to a single servant's crit weight, notices that she's a berserker ergo has terrible natural crit weight, has no skills to boost crit damage and even lacks passives like Independent Action, knows that teams have 3 slots on the front line, and then say "Yes, she is meant to crit".

The reason to ever want to use her is the same reason to ever want to use Nightingale. To have a servant fill out a particular supportive niche while still being able to deal high damage to anything. Particularly  heals and buster up for Nightingale, and targeted crit attraction in a roundabout way for MHXA. Yes, there are others who can fill their niche better. Better healers, better buster buffers, etc. But those supports typically hit for shit. Why would you want your supporter to be capable of dealing damage? Personal play style and literally nothing else.

At any rate, it's helpful in situations like if you have 3 Gorgon cards and 2 Merlin cards and only 30 stars to work with. She can outright ensure that all of Gorgon's hits will crit in this example. Otherwise 15 to 20 of those stars would go to Merlin.

The only time you want to care for MHXA to be a main damage dealer is if you're trying to kill a Saber boss surrounded by Lancer mooks. Outside of that, you're using her to have someone ELSE get stars while not being dead weight on the offense.

That aside, I do wish they gave her better natural star gen. At least her NP gain is good for a Berserker.
