She was never OP, just good. Shortly after she was originally available, we got the Bladders. Zarajulem has +100 Thunder ATK, a 40% boost (vs. Maria's 25%) and a 260% nuke (vs. Maria's 500%). Maria's big selling point was her nuke, which has a TCC of 10, iTCC of 9. Basically, it's only usable once or twice a quest. Meanwhile, Zarajulem's 15% of extra boosting will apply for every round where your combo is 3 or higher. It's a trade-off where Zarajulem will generally come off as victorious.
