Calculator is no issue ... its just, that's now how it act in practice.

Izou NP have increase own star-gen rate for three turns, at least 100%, on his NP, with that and his extra attack, he have no issues keeping about 20+ stars through Brave Chain while ensuring his single A & Q reliable to supply stars.

Thanks to his relatively low skills CD, he can ditch Tamamo in favor of other helper, example like Hans / Jeanne to cover his defense while they fill gap with Revelation / Innocent Monster or maybe Merlin with his GoA.

That's strength Shiki unable to 'replicate'; with Izo you can easily keep the critical damage high while you can rely to his single card for three turns after his NP, it making him a good alternatives to old man Li if one favors critical approach.

Shiki advantages come by offering all in one kit. So nothing powercreeped here, just simple difference between specialist and jack-of-all-trades, with the freebie just getting upgrades to keep her relevant as you can only see her every two years.

What Izo offers itself already above average considering you can see similar feat to him only at old man Li, not to mention what Fuuma, Serenity and Thousand Faces offers requires the player to understand the deal better than playing Izo.

I don't know about other players but when talking about powercreep, I'd rather take it not about mere damage but the whole kit.

Is both score and kit still relevant to its main purposes? Is it worth the cost? What's the advantages and the disadvantages? How about bosses and gimmicks? How it performs compare to others on same rarity? How about with similar types or playstyle? Is there other units offering exactly same thing as that unit did? How it fare by comparison?

I'm not sure calculator allow you to see that.
