Well, you can also use him as backup to Saber Shiki or Nero, in order to capitalize on the strengthening upgrade for NP generation, alongside Tamamo or Ruler for healing, in order to assist them in wiping out any archers that might be in a mission, and drawing their attention to him. But besides fitting well as a backup support for two of the characters in the game, he sucks.

His skills and NP shove him into the Arts category, in which he can only serve as a hybrid tank-attacker with a partial quick deck. His evade allows him to do better in this category, of course, with it's draw ability, but the fact the evade can miss until it's maxed out makes the skill far less useful unless you invest in him quite a bit. He really isn't about quick cards, so until his first skill is upgraded, it's pretty much useless, regardless of if he's support or hybriding, and his Magecraft B makes him less useful as an arts support due to it only affecting himself.

On a stall team, though, of Nero - Jeanne/Tamamo - Fionn or Saber Shiki - Jeanne/Tamamo - Fionn, for the same reasons that I listed above, and the fact that Jeanne & Tamamo can help with his tanking power and the healing of the front unit (Tamamo is better for NP gen, of course, and Jeanne is better for stalling wither her heal along with her invinci, as normal.)

He really does fit best on an Arts stall team as support, though. Both for the reasons at the top, and the fact his NP also lowers attack - albeit by a small margin until at a higher rank. He really is a character that's only any good if you invest a lot in him, though. He could become a better unit if a new batch of strengthening quests were released that allowed for his third skill to hit the entire party, and become slightly better if the charm demerit were removed from a strengthening as well, futher cementing his roll as a lancer arts support. Otherwise, his hybrid tank-attacker role can be used effectively with the right support units to back him up, he's far better suited to a tanky support roll than to a main attacker, due to his low attack stat.
