Gawain's the best 4* Saber in terms of sustained DPS, because he has a lot of Busters to work with, and in areas where the sun is shining his Numeral of the Saint becomes a HUGE offense stick that's up 3/5 turns as opposed to Mana Burst's 1/5. He's a bit lacking in terms of NP sustain (as is usual for triple Buster servants) and he's pretty much incompetent in terms of generating or using stars, though Belt of Bertilak helps with that.

As for how to use him, well... You can pretty much fit him anywhere you need a lot of Saber firepower. In boss battles, his high sustained offense can shine to burst down the boss, especially if the sun is shining. AoE NP means he hits less hard than, say, Brave Liz in NP turns, but his regular Busters hit hard enough, and Skill Seal can be useful in certain situations. Survivability may be a problem, but a one turn Guts means he's not completely vulnerable. In farming runs, Belt of Bertilak can be combined with a Kaleidoscope or similar to NP on the first turn he's on the field. You can even say that he can earnestly undertake any job, from boss rushing to farming to debt collecting.

As for supports, he'd probably like some Arts cards to gain NP faster, maybe someone who can provide stars if you really want to. Straight offense/defense buffers are also welcomed, and because of his deck he works well with the local overpowered Buster god Merlin.

Best CEs... The logical answer would be Buster/ATK ups for the most part, since he probably won't be NPing very often for a NP Up CE to matter much. Starting NP CEs are good too to cover his NP gen problems, and Kaleidoscope allows first turn NP as written above.

Mind, this is all just conjencture and information gathered from various other sources; I haven't actually used Gawain myself.
