Liter is a reliable CDR buffer with cover healing and powerful ATK buffs—and that is enough explanation as to why she is a meta unit. You see, cover heal is good for surviving long fights (usually boss battles) and helps avoid the use of healers, which adds slot pressure. ATK buffer like Liter's has a high value too, is based on the targeted unit's stat (which is better since usually it is Attacker's), and can be snapshot by Burst Skills, increasing its relative value. Some units (like MiharaBC) also scale very well on ATK, making Liter a good pairing for her. In addition, Liter also provides Max Ammo support, which is a little niche since it is only readily compatible with ammo refunders (e.g. Noir/Bunny Alice), but well-timed reloads can also benefit from it.
Now, let's talk about her CDR. We all knew Liter used to be very meta back in the day thanks to her utilities above + CDR. But, why is she seeing less usage by veterans in maxing content now (Anomaly Interception, etc)? That is because she got powercrept. You see, Liter's CDR is a stacking CDR, which takes 3 rotations to max out. This is bad because you get a choke in the first 3 rotations. The outcome of this phenomenon is that you usually lose 1 Full Burst rotation, which is a tremendous loss of damage. Not only that, other CDRs like Little Mermaid (Siren) and Rapi: Red Hood provide overall more damage themselves, which aren't big outside their respective elements but can add up pretty quickly. Sometimes, their buffs (ATK Damage & Damage Taken) scale better on some units too.
But, is there any good way to stacking CDR? Yes! Stacking CDR has a higher peak (8.2s CDR) as opposed to the usual 7~7.5s exhibited by other CDRs. This means you can actually rotate 15 times instead of the usual 13~14 times, which makes her previous weakness obsolete! But, how to do this? Well, the thing is it's nearly impossible to do without the help of burst gen support. That's where Grave comes into play. After each Full Burst where she Bursts, she immensely buffs the burst gen of the whole team, allowing the team to enter the next rotation faster and in less than 2s on optimal gameplay! That's why you often see them together in Solo Raids; they are just meant to be together.
All in all, Liter is still a reliable CDR despite not being the first pick anymore in most situations. She is still used all the time in Raids, which says a lot of things. She did a lot—and now it's time for grandma to rest.
Review
Pros
Offensive CDR with survival utilities.
High-value ATK buffs based on target unit's stat.
Provides Max Ammo support and has good synergy with Ammo Refunders.
Synergizes well with Grave, who can fully activate her potential.
Cons
Stacking CDR can cost rotation time(s).
Stacking CDR's chokes can be deadly in Campaign where you want to enter FB sooner.
ATK buff lasts 5 seconds.
ATK buffs based on target unit's stat, while better, doesn't synergize well with HP-scaling units.
Cover heal may not be useful in mobbing stages due to mobs one-shotting.
Wields SMG and does not provide burst gen support as much as Rouge, DWife, or Siren.
ATK buff can be diluted for some units.

Here's the explanation for all the numbers and colors used in the guide:
10/5/7 means upgrading Skill 1 to lvl 10, Skill 2 to lvl 5, and Burst Skill to lvl 7,
Yellow means the immediate investment when u get the unit. There are 3 reasons for this:
If the unit is Meta or High Priority, it will have a starting investment of more than 1/1/1 (such as 4/4/4) depending on what the unit provides.
If the unit is Medium or Low Priority, 1/1/1 will be mentioned, meaning no immediate investment is required, and you can invest in this character if you need to use it according to the priority listed.
If we deem that a unit does not have usable skills to be meta for any gamemode, no investment will be mentioned.
Blue means minimum investment to take advantage of the Nikke's skills. There are 2 reasons for this:
Sometimes, minimum investments are breakpoints such as for Noir or SAnis.
Sometimes, minimum investments are just the ideal way to progress to upgrade that unit, before moving on to Recommended and High.
Red means recommended investment for F2P players,
Purple means maximum recommended investment, in order to get the best out of the unit. You should only try to reach these investments if you have a surplus of Skill Books leftover.
More info:
The skill investment list below features a lot of Level 4 and 7 because they are easier to understand. Any higher levels will cost a new type of resource.
However, you may choose to upgrade to Level 5 if you need a stronger effect instead of 4, as the increase in Blue Manual cost from Level 4 to 5 is still low. The leap only starts from Level 6 onward.
There is also a leap from Level 3 to 4, so if you want to save a tiny bit of Blue Manuals, then leave at 3 instead of 4.
This Overload (OL) Recommendations and Priority guide unravels in detail everything you need about a character in terms of priority, overload targets (effects), and order of acquisition, alongside some notes to explain our thinking process.
For OL targets and order of acquisition, we decided to divide the target effects into several categories.
Essential: With all gear combined, your unit must have the roll(s) prescribed as a minimum requirement. Example: Charge Speed on Alice. You cannot compromise on these rolls.
Ideal: These rolls will improve your unit's performance significantly. Aim for 2 lines of Essential/Ideal per gear for maximum performance and the best Return on Investment (ROI). If you get 3, you are lucky. You can choose to only have 1 as well to save materials. Example: Elemental Damage on Scarlet.
Passable: Low-priority line that has either limited value or the impact is not as strong as other rolls. Should this show up as a bonus together with a better line, you can choose to keep them. Example: Charge Speed on Red Hood.
Overload effects are ordered by importance from Left to Right, which means anything on the left provides more value than the right. Effects that belong to the same group generate too similar an impact to make a difference (and are sometimes interchangeable). Try to follow this order as faithfully as possible for maximum mileage.
Additional tips:
Priority (PvE/PvP) isn't necessarily lower than Priority (Universal), which has no tag/label. It just indicates that this unit performs only in select types of content.
If a suggested effect has the number ×2 next to it, that means you should get the effect on at least 2 gear. The same idea applies to other numbers.
Focus on obtaining Essential(s) then you can start worrying about optimizing your rolls. Units require these to function, and the impact is too massive to ignore.
If a unit has no Essential(s), that means their performance is not that dependent on OL, but they can still benefit from good effects.
Remember that this is just a recommendation list, and attaining perfection is impossible. You will have to make some compromise, pick whichever rolls you desire the most, and conserve as much material as possible.
Assault Cube helps SMG wielders to actually hit something past Near range. While the Resilience Cube is a generic DPS increase (but it's better in scenarios when you fight stuff only in Near range as there Hit Rate isn't that useful). Wingman is a good alternative to both.
