Having a Hime who is completely useless until that point while still making very little - if any - impact on the end result is NOT a good thing.
Yes, -30% Rage bar is amazing. However, there is even a SR of the same powerlevel, Belphegor, who even comes with debuffs, meaning actually being useful even before Rage phases. Oh, and Belphegor's -30% works against ALL elements, whileas Acala only works against Wind. So when your AWAKENED SSR is losing to a SR, you know that it's NOT an impressive Hime. At all.
Again, Acala, once AWAKENED, can be decent. But the list of requirements is long:
1. Needs to be a Wind enemy.
2. Needs to have a Rage bar.
3. The Rage phase needs to be the problem in the fight.
4. The fight or previous waves before it can't be all that tough since Acala won't do you any good there.
5. Without Acala, your team's Full Burst can't be strong enough to blow out Rage because you'd bring somebody else instead (like even a SR).
6. You need to be strong enough to blast through WITH Acala's impressive anti-Rage kit (-30% Rage bar, strong nuke, echo burst, teamwide minor Rage bar reduction boost).
If you meet ALL of those conditions, Acala is good. But overall? There is no way you can call Acala anything other than decent, because that's a looooong list of conditions that NEEDS to be met in order for Acala to be good. And thanks to #5, you're going outgrow Acala even if you find use for her right now. Thus... she is decent. Nothing more, nothing less.
