>is there any content where an AoE attacker is better than a single target attacker
That's a really tough question there.

There's also enemies that absorb thunder, but I think that's just level 4 orb bosses. Penetrating critical is ideal for dungeons and arts battle too. I do tear dungeon with both Inori and Hisame and it means I don't even have to think, just see boss, press button.
