I agree with @FallenAngelII, reducing a turn on nukes and shavers (preferably 7 iTTC) it's huge in tournaments, even when healers are not generally desirable, if you have undivided trimagicians and other hard hitters so you can 1-turn all the fodders, Claire would definitely be better that using another AS hard hitter, because of how much damage the nuke and shavers do, without using time.

However,I should add that, for example, 1 Asmodeus, 2 Isabellis, 1 Akari (Massive atk booster) and Claire, all fully released, would not be able to defeat the 3R (merman, bee, merman) formation in Turn 1 if you get a deviation lower than 1.05.

But 2 Asmodeus, 2 Isabellis and Claire certainly can 1-turn all the fodders even with a 0.9 deviation. This team can also clear the boss in 3 turns thanks to Isabellis nukes (6 iTTC because of the reduction) even assuming a 0.9 deviation in all turns with all spirits.

As a contrast let's put other example of Asmodeus, Summer!Riverta, Isabelli, Isabelli and Akari, this team cannot 1-turn the same 3R formation mentioned above in turn 1 unless you get a deivation of 1.05 or more.

Another example is 2 Asmodeus, 2 Isabellis and Akari. This team can 1-turn all the fodder formations even with minimum damage. It can 3-turn the boss stage only if you get a deviation of 0.95 or higher in all 3 turns with all of your spirits, which means you can get screw over by deviation.

I hope these examples help clarify why the turn shavers SS are very important.

P.S. All the examples above are assuming all spirits fully released.
