Well, if you want something... Astolfo's got a very good utility as a farming Rider with his Evaporation of Sanity [EoS for short].

Due to a higher amount of NP on-demand gained than Medusa, it lets you use stronger CEs with secondary effects instead of only NP charge, such as Golden Sumo, and have still have no worry about having to charge it.

Additionally, due to the stars gained instantly in his NP, you'll get a good amount of stars, and may get even more with the EoS - leading to anywhere between 15~50 star the next turn for a good chance of critical hit in the next turn most times.

[Normal - around 20~ / EoS generates 10 at random. Quick chain adds 10. In case of him attacking, plus in case of his EoS active generation allowing you, it further adds some - I've had him generate 54 stars. Averagely, I see 30~.]

Thus, he can nicely set up a critical burst for the next turn - even if it's for someone else.

Because the Evaporation of Sanity's star generation lasts for 5 turns, it is nice for farming harder maps where you'll reach the boss by the 4~5th turn, although it is random. It also allows you to have Astolfo carry the team nicely with his crits to the boss, where you'll use likely your main damage dealer skill's to actually kill the boss.

He has also an nice and fun additional David-like utility with his Bond CE for boss battles by switching him in. Of course, Merlin and such could do it better and whatnot.

Well, as far as wave-clearing goes on normal 3-waves maps, I find him to be my go-to farming Rider most cases. [Currently have all non limited SR Riders. No SSR, so no word for those.]
