Independent analysis
Editorial analysis based on the current guides: Puppet is valuable because its mark improves the whole squad's damage against the most dangerous target, while rewind and the Doll summon add safety. This makes the evolved form especially useful for bosses and leak-prone modes rather than only for raw damage charts.
This site analysis interprets the cited snapshot; it is separate from official game information and may change as stronger evidence becomes available.
