Serval cannot use all effects of this weapon as it deals more DMG with the Follow-up attacks, and Since she does not do any Follow-up ATK, you can use it on that part.

Night on the Milky Way
Night on the Milky Way increases her ATK by 9% for every enemy on the field, which can reach 40%. When she depletes the enemy Toughness bar, she gains an extra 30% DMG which is good for killing enemies quickly.
