Well, Merlin is wielding a copy of a top-tier Holy Sword, has B-Rank Strength, and is a top-tier Caster in the same league as Solomon, so yes.
Though, in the game he's primarily occupied with keeping the Chaos Tide at bay, so he doesn't actually participate in battle with you as his Garden of Avalon keeps you healed up as your party gets assailed with waves of Chaos Tide.
