Archer Helena is not much good for boss fights, but she is great for 3-turn farming. There aren't many servants in the game that are capable of both, raising NP Charge for other team members while clearing an enemy wave by themselves with an AOE NP, but Helena is able to do that. If you're able to use Kaleidoscopes and Imaginary Elements for example, she'll likely be better than even Waver is, and she doesn't force the use of servants and mystic codes like Arash and Chaldea Combat Uniform to achieve 3-turn farming.

She's not as good if you're forced to use only event CE, but her being an Arts servant and thanks to her 2nd skill, she's still great for farming even in those situations, being able to deal decent extra damage while helping to blast NPs earlier. At the very least, I'd say she is much better than Nobu Archer at least who has notably low damage and is reliant on crit support or her divine-killing niche to be useful.
