He's quite strong when compared to other 4* lancers. His kit is easy to use and quite effective, his 1st and 3rd skills in particular. They have good uptime being 3 turn buffs with only 5 tun CDs and the debuff resist from his first skill is invaluable in scenarios where you get enemies who stack debuffs non stop. NP dmg is what you would expect from ST NP but the modifier makes it pretty scary for evil archers and zerkers and the ignore invincibility is nice to have considering a lot of archers have an evade.

He's fairly sturdy so he can fill an offensively oriented support role with his star gen/taunt and NP amp, but he excels more as an attacker imo. His first skill gives him an attack buff with good uptime and enough healing to offset the DoT from Black Grail. His Np gain is also quite good so he will fire off his NP often.
