I've used Lancelot on my main team basically forever. My Team is Lancelot, Saber Alter, El-Melloi. I swap out Alter depending on the oppnent class tendency (either with Santa Rider, Karna, or Nobunaga). Otherwise, Lancelot and Alter both have Kaleidescope cards (Lancelot's is maxxed). The first two Servants go into battle with the abillity to unleash NP immediately. (If you don't have Kaleidescope, substitute Imaginary Element or Dragon's Meridian cards, though you'll have to strategize a bit more.)

Usually, for a standard 3 round battle, in Round 1, I activate El-Melloi's Tactician's Advice ability, upping all NP by 10% to all, and duke it out hand-to-hand in the first round, Lancelot being a Berserker is able to take out usually 2 of 3 mostly by himself. If you don't have Kaleidescope, try to gain as much NP as possible in this Round.

In the second round, I use El-Melloi's Tactician's Command ability, upping all NP by another 10%, putting Alter (or whoever else is in that 2nd slot with Kaleidescope) up to 100% or beyond. I activate her Mana Burst and Charisma abilities. I unleash her NP and usually wipe out the whole 2nd round group.

Then in the third round, I unleash Lancelot's NP (activating his Protection of the Spirits ability for the heck of it). Add any Mystic Code abilities here. (I use the Combat Uniform.) This usually wipes out the 3rd round entirely. If anyone's left, they will be wiped out the next round, everyone benefitting from 30+ critical stars generated by Lancelot by his NP.

Against groups of Servants with multiple 100,000+ HP, Lancelot's usefulness is limited, since as a Berserker he can get taken out quickly. But against 99% of enemies, he wipes them out first. Few Servants have as consistently a strong a group/ area attack NP. As a Berserker he doesn't need a proper-class-match-up to be "effective". He's always effective.
