nah, she's already outdated unless there's new quick dedicated support in town. If your first NP with Jack failed to get the job down then there's not much value to do it next turn since the damage fall down tremendously. Tho she's still the best single unit assassin in this game. basically if you have collected enough supporting kit there's few way to make other 'dethrone' her.

Jack will lose it's edge on some situation : once there's multiple boss in one battle, or on boss with break gauge, once there's enemy with annoying perma buff or debuff, and once there's multiple enemy that need to be dispatched quickly like those corrupted ushi... even farming those Ugallu on Bloodfort andromeda with jack is tedious. for Break gauge boss she's feasible for cleanup hitter but if you're reluctant to let anyone die like me her Quick attack are just getting in the way if you're aiming for either Fast kill with Buster or Np spam with Arts..

overall still the highest tier assassin, a good unit all around and Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-some kind of servant but lacking any decisive team that could boost her further... at the very least the other 2 Assassin can somehow get up to 100% atk buff with additional buster/arts buff for potentially more than 3 turns.. Cleo in particular have potential to easily reach 100% atk + 130% buster buff + 100% crit for one turn.. Shuten have similar setup but with less damaging Arts in exchange for NP spam chance and defense debuff but Cleo potential damage is higher. this way most boss will be hardpressed to survive.. before the introduction of break gauge that is..

Well I must say that now that kind of hardcore buff setup are mostly useless thanks to break gauge limiting how much damage you can infilict in one turn,, but still you have 2 more turns with 100% atk so it's no biggie when each brave chain hit harder than Jack Np without quick buff or even one arts crit will hit around 60k.. so rather than what kind of skill to dethrone her, the question is what kind of support are needed to let her take the throne.. tho for those that lack spesific buffer for Cleo or Stheno jack is still the best Assassin.
