Eh not really, Valerie isn't really as useful as Asia, plus we don't really know how strong Lint is, compared to someone like Xenovia. Besides, isn't it dangerous for Valerie to use his Sacred Gear, or have I missed something? Rias's peerage took a big hit when they lost Asia, Xenovia, and Issei, especially Issei. Although, technically Issei is still a part of the peerage, just not when it comes to the WRC.
