On the one hand she's a event knight who are often considered as weaker than the premium gacha knights. So she has for example a weaker def buff which furthermore does seem barely helpful at all in a skill activation buff squad.
On the other hand though she does have the skill activation buff which I assume is at least in the top 3 of best abilities(?). This ability is also not affected from the fact that she's a event knight. And her stats are okay-ish I'd say.

I replaced her with Justica just last week, but if I hadn't pulled Justica, I'd still be using her. And if I could set up a fifth squad for my units, she'd be the first one to add to it, before several rainbows I currently have benched.

Trigger rate for the whole team is a very strong passive, especially when you combine several girls with that (or similar team-wide) passives. Moonvine, Tachibana and Geranium (all three are event girls!) make for a pretty decent start of a trigger team. Add Cymbidium or Fritillaria (maybe Gerbera as a placeholder, if you like her) when you get them. Once you get more girls increasing trigger rate for the entire team (like Apple or Justica), then you can start replacing them in the order Moonvine - Tachibana - Geranium.

The only reason I picked Justica over Geranium, is that Justica's special is an AO, while Geraniums' special is a single target attack.
Placing three regular trigger-girls (1.2 increase to trigger rate) and Cymbidium in the same squad, results in girls who have a trigger rate of 30% (just level up their skill a few times with blooms) to practically ALWAYS do their special attack on the first turn. Even event bosses (non-raid) rarely survive that first turn.
