Merlin and Hans, basically critical burst setup, still better for him by good margin.

After all, Moriarty 'value' as "Limited Servant" is flexiblity achieved once criticals maintained; AAAQB deck served to fit himself on any kind of team while his abnormal hit-count is to not interrupting star generation with that kind of deck.

His first and second skill is to let him become the main star for limited duration, works better as 'taking opportunity' than to be abused; his Charisma and NP effect is icing for stacking buffs, IA so his crits hit hard even with said deck.

Solely using Arts buffs aiming to NP spam do work, but it'll be somewhat slow compare to setup where critical maintained as he can achieve 50% NP more reliably there so you can straight use his second skill if you ever need his NP ASAP. Simply put, you NP spam by having him crits.

With current JP state, IMO, Edison is better pair for him compare to Tamamo if you ran him with 2 supports (with Merlin being one of them) unless you need Merlin to get his Invul. ready ASAP.
