Almost all non-ailment negators just negate all three. There's no point making her negate one if you're going to be forced to bring somebody to do the other.

Also, you're very heavily underestimating Krantz and overestimating Elimo. Damage does matter, and yes, spark damage does matter too. Thresholds exist. I've already addressed the barrier point; there are very few pieces of content where you're not using Ark as a lead, and stat buffs are not super duper rare.

And I mean, if you don't want to use one of the best units in the game, your loss. Azurai + Ark is one of the best leader combos for hard content and Azurai in general is suitable almost anywhere.

And finally, it's not like guard frontier is absolutely the best strategy anyway. Nuke frontier can be better with the right set-up, but regardless you're still bringing Rozalia and Charla primarily because they end up providing more damage through UBB. Most of the time you're literally guarding them, anyway, the reason you use them instead of others is because sometimes you need healing and status cleansing, and on the first stage you need to fill the BB gauge.

Allanon works better, though, either way, because he is attacking.
