So in Campaign mode, Di Yu, Paulia, Canola and Clypha are the main characters aside from occasional Danjou and Nazuna chiming in?

Her base passive is of the latter, as indicated by the [Battle] tag/modifier on her ability info:
With a high base ATK for a 5*, she's probably better off with a different kind of passive anyway.[Battle] Increase Attack Power by 1% each time a Battle Skill is used (up to 30%)
As Gerbera's self-boost doesn't work cumulatively through multiple battles, what about a mix of activation + DEF buffing that is geared toward prolonging each battle by a few more turns? In theory, extra turns would give more chances for squad members to proc their skills and consequently allow Gerbera to stack her self-buff closer to 30%. This is a possible lineup I'm thinking of:
- Cymbidium - multi-target skill, x2.0 Turn 1 activation boost for all + DEF boost for 3
- Justicia - multi-target skill, x1.2 activation boost and ATK boost for all
- Camellia - multi-target skill, DEF boost for all + ATK boost for 2 (Dahlia's ATK boost for 2 + ATK down in place of Camellia's DEF boost may make for a good substitute)
- Geranium - single-target skill, x1.2 activation boost for all + DEF boost for 3
- Gerbera
With Gerbera fifth in the formation, she would have fed off of all those activation buffs from her squadmates and get some nice increments in damage output with her passive (and life drain if her skill procs) when she gets her turn.
With skills activating here and there though, non-bosses will die quickly anyway, so the above is more applicable to boss fights... but then who actually wants long, drawn-out skirmishes in the first place?
That said, Gerbera's base passive is definitely underpowered; +1% ATK boost/proc on a skill with a [Battle] tag cripples its ability to reach the +30% boost... more like only +5% at most during a boss battle. Gerbera seemingly has to rely on the right squadmates to carry her.
P.S. I find it quite funny that her boost keeps getting triggered even when she's taken out of battle.

Basically the same as Fritillaria, though at only half the increase rate. In an ability trigger team with leveled skills, Fritillaria usually reaches her 30% bonus somewhere between 5 and 8 rounds.
So for Gerbera, I figure it'd take as much as 20 rounds (first and third round trigger passives work only on those two turns, so can't just "double" Fritillaria's amount of combat rounds because of those). And 20 rounds of combat? Not gonna happen any time soon I'm afraid.
And yes, it's neat how bonusses trigger even when the girl has already been taken out of battle. It works like that for other passives as well, so a girl who just got taken out of combat may still buff another girl because her passive triggers. Works at least like that within the same battle, not sure if it keeps applying throughout the map between battles.
Good lord. Only girl I'd probably be interested in seeing fight 20 rounds is a life-leeching 6* like Alpinia or Kerria.
For this one, and in Gerbera's case, she could really use an AOE ATK buff instead of a self-buff and still be useful to the rest of the squad even when she's gone.And yes, it's neat how bonusses trigger even when the girl has already been taken out of battle.

So...any hope of a filter option in the gift box? I'm satisfied with most things in FKG, but picking particular color Manyu needles out of that haystack is annoying, and would allow me to use the 'receive 20' button for anything other than a misclick.
Maybe they don't have chemistry, but that make some sense if you think that they are Flower Knights, working for and organization, and not just a group of friends that go out in adventures (standard rpg I guess).
They are kind of forced to work togheter, or at least fell that way
