Talk:Astolfo (Saber)/@comment-37535116-20191129114927

After seeing a few battles, I'll just say that Astolfo saber is sthing similar to Davinci rider.

No, obviously not in NP, Astolfo is ST while Davinci is AOE, but they face similar situations. If it comes to NP spamming, not many people will choose him, and will rather go for Okita, cuz she has better NP gen stats and a simpler skills that help add up to her performance at NP spam (Quick up, star absorb, crit up). SImilarly, I remembered people said that they will rather use Mordred Rider for Arts spam rather than Da vinci. Why? Cuz Da vinci had less NP gain and skills that allowed her to naturally NP spam, compared to Mordred's higher hit counts and and stats.

So why use them? Simple: Utility. Going to Davinci, you will use her, cuz she has skills that make her useful in CQ (debuff immunity, NP overcharge to party, NP gain to party from skills and NP, short-cooldown Evade). Similarly, (although not as strong), Astolfo Saber can clear debuffs and have a PfA evade (sort of), a weak chance of stun and NP seal. In addition, (not that important but still), they both have a NP-charge-over-time skill that sort of gives you the pseudo-NP-spam sorto experience. They will definitely need support for max performance, but there you go.

So, hopefully that clears a few things. NA here, but a few words based on what I understand.
