Then she still has a high tier killing method for masters because Maria ramps up with each requirement and it's already a good assassination skill at 2 effects.
Presence Concealment A+ is very high and she literally has a free pre-emptive strike on ANY target thanks to Murder on a Misty Night, so if she just assassinates the enemy master immediately it's just a win.
The only reason she doesn't win basically every engagement like this is because she's a child that likes to sadistically play with her victims. If she had a Master that told her not to though, she'd have won basically every encounter in Apocrypha she had, except maybe Jeanne because Jeanne has protection from curses.
