Servant power in-game not always has to do with how powerful they are in "proper" canon, Romulus is notable example where he is supposed to be by far the strongest Rome-based Servant, outstripping Nero in pretty much every aspect, and going so far as having the same Imperial Previlege ability as Nero, while being implied to have none of the downsides*, yet he is a mere 3*(and not even the best 3* Lancer, considering Cu is around), while Nero is a 4* and two 5*s.

Going off Romulus, you can make a fair assumption that Asterios could be significantly more powerful than his 1* nature indicates, he just got mistreated in FGO, wouldn't be the only Servant that got the shaft.


 * The abilities granted by Imperial Previlege are temporary for Nero because she has a very short attention span, and she suffers from chronic migraines that cut her attention span further, Romulus is much more focused and doesn't have the same migraines, implying he can maintain Imperial Previlege indefinitely.
