Her purpose is to shave the TCC of **nukers** and **shavers**. Since Special Skills' damage formula does not include the "divided by 2" part of the Answer Skill formula, 1 Claire and 1 hard hitter is not necessarily weaker than 2 hard hitters as long as the hard hitter has a strong nuke. 1 Claire and 2 nukers? Definitely stronger than 3 hard hitters. As long as Claire's presence doesn't cost you any extra turns in the fodder battles, that's a net gain of 1 turn.

Seeing as how you don't need that hard hitting spirits for #17 if you run mono-fire to 1-turn all fodder formations, you can run 1 Asmodeus, 1 Massive ATK Booster, 2 Isabelis and Claire and 1-turn all fodder formations. With Claire at iTCC 6, you can guarantee yourself a 7-turn finish with the 2 Isabeli nukes. That's just one example of how to run her to save yourself turns in tournaments. Think outside of the box. Spirits consist of 2 skills, not 1.
