Most free Kami you get have only one or two useful skills.

Amon has a really strong single target damage spell, and an area protection from debuff ability which is really good, but her third skill (self-boost in burst gauge) is mediocre because usually you're going to hold burst guage until everyone is ready to burst, so something that only boosts Amon's burst gauge really doesn't help anything. Heimdallr, the other kami you got free from raids, has a damage skill and an attack buff, which are middling in usefulness, but her damage immunity only affects her, which is not super important because the only people who 100% need to survive to win raids are your healers.

All of Gabriel's skills are useful, and furthermore she has two useful skills in one package - teamwide attack buff AND teamwide defense buff. Many kami are run specifically because they only have access to one of these, and yet gabe gets both in one package. So she's got effectively 4 powerful skills that are useful in almost every situation, compared to Heimdallr who has 2.

With gabriel, and two other kamihime (in sanahtlig's case, Triton and Andro) you're able to keep full attack/defense buffs up almost the entire fight, which is incredibly powerful. And her other two skills are pretty great too - a def down debuff that does damage, and an ability that speeds up the burst gauge of everybody in your team.
