1.I never said Twilight Healing was better than the Sephiroth Grail. I said that Asia's skill in using Twilight Healing far surpasses Valerie's abilities in using Sephiroth Grail because Asia has been using her Sacred Gear much longer than Valerie. Of course Sephiroth Grail is above Twilight Healing due to its abilities and the fact that it is a Longinus. But we are talking about the users here, not the Sacred Gears themselves. By that logic, Gasper never should have crushed Georg because he had a regular Sacred Gear and Georg had a high-tier Longinus.

2.The fact that Asia can't defend herself has been stated in the light novel. And that was the reason why Azazel suggested Asia make a pact with a creature to take the burden off of Issei and the others of preotecting her. And with the OP opponents, you think what little Asia can do would stop them?

3.I wouldn't say Rias wasted a piece. Can you find any other peerage that has a healer or relies on something other than Phenex Tears to heal in a Rating Game?

I am not a Asia fanboy. I like her and I understand her usefulness to the team. Can you legitimately confirm that all of them would be alive without Asia and that Rias would have found a better bishop if she didn't reincarnate Asia into her servant. Now Asia has a lot of weak points and I understand that. But that's no reason to just ignore her OP healing ability. All of the characters have their flaws and weak points. But it just seems Asia gets extra hate just because she doesn't fight on the frontlines like the rest. If you're in logistics or any other support unit, although you aren't the infantry and aren't doing the real work, does that make you any less useful? Everyone has their role to play and is useful in their own unique way. Now yes I wish Asia would develop some basic defense and skills. She does have a talent for using demonic powers. So those are things to improve. She isn't going to be perfect and I understand that and that is just more Asia needs to work on.

@B214 I thought some of the things like her healing being indiscriminate and her being able to escape from battle were already solved. Well I guess not. Just more Asia needs to work on. And if she gains basic escape and defense skills, would it help her escape or defend herself against OP opponents? And I didn't know senjutsu could heal or rejuvenate stamina.

Everyone has their flaws. And especially Asia. And I know sometimes there was no point of her even being there. But her healing ability is pretty OP. And what Azazel said about her reaching her limit he meant for her regular Sacred Gear. And it was already OP. Well it wasn't absolute as she couldn't completely heal the wound Issei had gotten from the True Longinus, but still Asia's ability is nothing to look down at.
