People discount the impact of Increase Attack IV and so they don't invest and continue to be underwhelmed. The Solanos of the world have their niche but they're still a much slower boss killer than an Adele or Despara. AOE has its place but sometimes you just want to kill a big nasty ASAP and relieve some tank pressure.
Well, for those heavy hitters, I'll have me some more Adele and Despara any day XD
This brings up the point of Yuyu being a "classic witch" with Range Up, low cost and higher attack speed than other witches to prevent early enemies from escaping, while Despara and Adele give up a bit of that utility for the ability to kill heavier units (Yuyu will likely be swapped out for someone else by the time the hard hitters show up, Adele and Despara you can leave in and when those bad boys pop in you pop Increase Attack and watch them slowly melt in agony XD)

Summary:
Early deploy to stop early escapees: Yuyu
Lasting magic damage while keeping the slow effect: Adele/Despara
