He functions well as a normal beatstick. He'll have problems competing with Arjuna but he can easily outdmg Hijikata and Raikou on normal circumstances (no crits, no buster bravechains, and definitely not against enemies on Raikou's hit list)

If you use him like a normal beatstick he functions like a mix of Ibaraki and Herc. Legend of Dracula boosts his atk and def while guts allows him to fight for longer. The problem with this setup is his NP dmg. but if youre using him as a beatstick you wont even bother with his NP.

As for arts teams he's not that hard to build around. Mash and a support Tamamo is all you need and is actually the best comp for survival. Even whale comps with Waver tend to plugsuit Mash in and replace Waver when things get out of hand. The only problem with a Mash Tamamo comp is getting everyone primed for the 1st NP chain. Succeeding chains shouldnt be a problem though
