Whilst it is not optimal strictly directly damage-wise for him to absorb stars outside from when his first skill is active, it's much, much harder to generate enough stars that he can absorb and get any decent chance at a critical without it.

Basically, not having a star-absorption CE doesn't allow for making full use of his first skill [without generating at least medium amount of stars whilst fielding below average star absoption classes] or [without generating high amount of stars when fielding above average star absorption class]. It's not making effective use neither of the amount of the stars nor of the first skill.

Also his criticals outside of the CRIT UP will still allow him to spam more NPs, so it's not a loss of damage. I myself use him as both a critical burst damage and a NP spammer
