Funny you say that, Marisha stopped bothering to use it because the boss had such a huge bonus to hit that it was a wasted spell slot virtually every time.

Though to your other point, she forgot she could also give folks advantage with it.

This goes back to the CR table not being well optimized though. Because a truly optimized and knowledgeable table wouldn't be using it on the attacks that already have a really good chance to hit. If the party had any sort of debuffs/crowd control spells, you use Silvery Barbs to force a reroll on successful saves and just ruin their day, or like you said try to give individuals advantages. I didn't watch the episode so don't know if any crits happened, but you can also just use it on crits to make them reroll for a normal hit.

There's a lot of ways SB is just way too good for the spell slot it's found at, but I get that with a +14 to hit in 5e, it's not the most optimal spell for the situation.
