Her basic is no different to other crit-based DPS.

By comparison with Astraea it simply down to ease of use vs. higher damage. Astraea can provide ease of use by skill and NP while Artoria aiming for higher performance centered on her.

Benefit of 70% ATK up + 50% Critical damage up + 20% AQB boost is good under her stats if you into buff stack, not to mention absorb boost thus the 50% critical damage up 'locked' under shuffle as without that lock, given currently available options, she will close enough to 'too good to be true' compare to other crit-based DPS.

If you not into built certain team or have limited resource, Astraea definitely better.

Mind that in this game, limited units =/= OP and easy to use, sometimes they exist to cover certain playstyle only several people can enjoy it.
