Well we saw how Valerie was when she revived the dead and she was under Marius' control with Rizevim playing a hand in it. So reviving the dead is out of the question for her. And her Longinus is OP, but is she able to bring out its abilities. We don't even know her mastery of her Longinus. And it said that Asia's healing was better than Valerie's. And plus Asia has way more experience. People say Asia is useless from a combat standpoint. But Azazel himself said her healing is OP and there would be no point of her achieving Balance Breaker because her original Sacred Gear ability was that good. She is a very good healer who is basically the backbone of the team. What other peerage do you know that has a healer in it? Just because she is not fighting on the frontlines doesn't mean she's useless. She is actually the most valuable person on the team. And her experience is nothing to laugh at either. Without Asia, could you say that Issei and the others would all be alive?
