＋ Buff removal skill is very useful and uncommon: Schera and Eleaneer are the only other units with full buff removal.
＋ High ATK stat, 90% C.DMG on exclusive weapon unique stat, and good skill damage at all levels
＋ One of the few units with "X" shape front damage
＋ Great synergy with Comeback Idol Yuri to make one of the highest damage attack combos
－ Not as good as PMB.Eleaneer and PP.Schera for buff removal in PVP.
－ Needs Comeback Idol Yuri to complete the combo.
Yuri for PVE
Whitebolt Yuri is a great unit to have for all kinds of PVE battles. She deals high damage, she has a useful X-shape AOE, and she removes buffs. She is one of the very few front X-shape AOE attacks, which is a very useful AOE shape for dealing with mobs. Since light attacks are not weak against any elements, she is a great unit to keep in your main story/PVE team.
Even though damage from her skill ATK buff does not scale well with other ATK buffers, Whitebolt Yuri is still considered a great PVE attacker. Even putting aside her ATK buff, at +5 full potential Yuri deals 4x105% = 483% including chain damage, which is respectable on its own.
Importantly, Whitebolt Yuri's skill lasts 4 turns (2 player turns). This means it can be used in combination with Comeback Idol Yuri. Comeback Idol Yuri is already very strong (one of the strongest light attacks), but adding the ATK buff from Whitebolt Yuri makes it even stronger. Thanks to this high damage combo, Yuri as a package is perfect for dark fiend hunts and guild raids.
Yuri is also a great carry for Tower of Salvation. With both costumes, she can deal with various different enemy formations, nuke bosses, and also remove pesky buffs.
Yuri for PVP
Yuri is a very solid choice for PVP, because she deals high damage AND she removes buffs. In addition, both her costumes have good cost (3 SP) and 3 turn cooldown after potential upgrades, so she has no down time on her skills. Both her costumes deal high physical damage. Especially when paired with a crit buffer like RH.Rou, Yuri has very good odds of dealing lethal damage to anyone her attack connects with.
The main reason that she is not more popular in PVP is that she faces heavy competition from Schera and Eleaneer for the buff remover slot. Schera and Eleaneer both have buff removal costumes that cost only 2 SP, which make them the much better choice for use in attack teams to set up a strong offensive opening.
Still, Yuri does have her own advantages in PVP. Her X-shape physical attack can be a surprise in a meta where many team formations are built to play around NB.Eclipse's magic attack with straight line AOE. The "stealth mode" on Comeback Idol can also improve Yuri's survivability a lot when positioned correctly.
Conclusion
Yuri is one of the best light attackers when her Whitebolt and Comeback Idol costumes are paired together. Yuri is most effective when you have both of her costumes at high level. Her kit is highly effective in almost all PVE modes, especially in fiend hunts and guild raids. If you have already invested in Comeback Idol Yuri, then having at least 1 copy of Whitebolt is a must. Thankfully, only 1 copy is needed for the combo since Whitebolt's ATK buff reaches full power at +0 (unlike Sword Queen Sylvia, who doesn't reach her full ATK buff power until +5).
In PVP, Yuri is just outshined by Schera and Eleaneer who both have 2 SP buff removal skills, but still a very formidable force.
