And while d'Eon is also pretty ineffectual, d'Eon is a tank; you don't need power, you need effectiveness. And there's the added bonus of being immune to anything that targets Male or Female.
Then there's even the question of whether to even bother with another Saber. Fact is, Lily is terrible stat-wise; d'Eon or Siegfried would be a strict upgrade. But in terms of utility, Lily's NP does decent damage, especially when paired with her Mana Burst. It's worth noting that her NP is level 5, which gives it a base modifier of 700%; Siegfried's base modifier at NP1 is 300%. Even after Strengthening, and against Dragons, it's 550%. Moreover, Lily's Journey of the Flowers skill is useful to the entire party.
I feel like, she may not be great, but she's consistently applicable in her role, you know?
