In fact it's a very good idea. I didn't thought about this earlier, need to try it. Leonidas can help a lot to Hijikata.

1) He have taunt with his skill, but also have taunt (a long one) with his NP, and that NP also boost his DEF.

2) He give stars. The amount depend on the level, and he is a Servant from FP, so it's easy to level his NP up to 5, 25 stars just by using NP!

3) Like you said, a party buster buff that stack with Demon of the Battlefield, and that means a stronger DPS from Hijikata.

4) He have guts, so he will be longer in the battle helping.

There is only one problem here. It's a problem that can be easily solved if you have the right Servants: Hijikata is QQABB with B NP, Leonidas is QQABB with B NP too, so your team only have two Art cards. That means you will have few NPs in game, and Leonidas only taunt one turn with a long cooldown (from 8 to 6). Hijikata isn't 100% safe with that.

So your need Servant need to solve that. I think the best option here can be Tamamo with her NP. Yes, her NP heal, and yes, Hijikata need to have low HP, but he also need to be alive too. He only need to have low HP for Law of the Shinsengumi and his NP. If the skill is on CD, and the NP isn't ready, it's more important to be alive to use both of them again. Tamamo can help with that. Tamamo can help, too, reducing the team skill's CD (Leonidas' guts more often, Leonidas' taunt more often, Leonidas and Hijikata's buster buff more often, etc), charging the team's NP (taunt more often, and burst more often).

If not Tamamo, then Merlin (HP regen, yes, and I give the same reason that I gave already for Tamamo), Waver, Helena or Shielder. Maybe there are another options, but I don't remember right now.

Very good idea, sir. I'll try this later. :)
