Due to being a free Servant, her single-target Noble Phantasm can be easily leveled, giving it the edge in damage over most other Servants - something complemented by her NP’s defense ignoring property. She also has a decent Buster buff and an Invincibility skill, which aids her performance.
However, she has little to offer outside of these, and her third skill is notorious for its high usage requirement and RNG-reliant result. She also lacks a decisive critical affinity (outside her third skill’s critical star generation), meaning that she is ultimately a decent damage dealer, but nothing more.
Pros
High NP Damage.
Able to withstand NPs with her Invincibility buff.
Balanced deck.
Third skill is able to turn the tide in your favor.
Cons
Lacks any sort of relevant niche.
Has no team support function (except for the RNG-reliant third skill).
Third skill’s RNG can make it useless in certain situations.
Strategies & Tips
Elizabeth Bathory is primarily used as a damage dealer for her party, with the (occasional) ability to save the party from difficult situations by means of her third skill. As such, she should be paired with Servants able to support her damage and NP gain.
Noble Phantasm
Bathory Brave Erzebet is a Buster-type single target Noble Phantasm which ignores defense. It also applies a Burn effect on the target, but the damage is small enough to be negligible. This Noble Phantasm is Elizabeth’s main cannon, though unfortunately her NP generation is rather mediocre.
Merlin solves Elizabeth’s primary problem - that is, NP gain. His critical-related features also benefit Elizabeth greatly, and his Invincibility and heals go hand in hand with Liz’ own Invincibility skill.
With Waver’s targetable 50% NP and buffs, he helps Elizabeth perform her Noble Phantasm more reliably. However, aside from his defense buff, Waver doesn’t provide much in terms of sustainability, meaning another support Servant would be needed to support her.
Shakespeare possesses a Buster buff and an NP charging skill, somewhat helping Liz with her NP gain issue. Naturally, another support Servant is needed if the team is to be more survivable.
Capitalizes on Liz’ NP5 damage, these Craft Essences, however, practically do nothing in between her NPs (which may take some time due to her mediocre base gain), meaning that NP gain supports are needed to make the most use of them.
Sacrifices NP damage to favor more damage on normal hits. Depending on the party, this may be the better choice, though generally speaking it is more beneficial to use the above type.
Provides a balance between the two above types. While pure NP damage up Craft Essences may be more effective in a proper party, combination CEs work as a decent alternative.
When equipped to Elisabeth [Brave] (Saber) only, increase Buster Card effectiveness for all allies by 20% & decrease DEF by 10% [Demerit] while on the field

Upgrade Priority
Heroine’s Great Principle EX
Grants Invincibility and NP gain up to self for one turn. While this skill is the only one that directly buffs Elizabeth’s NP gain, the effect only lasts for one turn, and it is not that significant due to her mediocre base gain. As such, this skill should be leveled second and primarily for the cooldown.
Mana Burst (Courage) D
A Mana Burst skill which trades a bit of the Buster buff with a 20% defense buff. As her primary damage increasing skill, this skill should be leveled up first due to the third skill’s low reliability.
Legend of the Crimson Heroine EX
Despite the cool-sounding name, this skill is actually the least reliable of Elizabeth’s three skills. The NP gauge cost is simply too massive for someone with mediocre NP gain, and in return, she gets one of five random effects: Increase own Buster performance (3 turns), Party Invincibility (1 turn), Party heal, Party ATK up, and instant critical star generation. While each of these effects is powerful in its own right, the sheer randomness makes this skill unreliable at best. As such, this skill should be leveled last.

The QAABB deck provides balance between NP charging and damage. It is a good deck for Elizabeth, as she gains access to a Buster brave chain, while still able to rather reliably perform Arts chains.
