Both each their own strengths and weaknesses.

Emperor have good control tools and abusable taunt but he's reliant to others to ensure he can reach it fast enough to compete with bosses. 50% crit damage is also if you crits while he has little to no method to ensure the stars ready by himself.

Amakusa may looks bad, but he's solid DPS by his own right. Star regen and NP regen allowing him to mitigate RNG, letting you to choose whatever cards you consider best for your strats. On further usage, it allows player to have easier time deciding CC as the risk of favoring certain card is low under his kit; his hit-count also fairly high on Extra, easily assist him when he went solo and further help what explained.

His AOE damage is not high indeed, but as overall kit its bundle worth of NP 2+ investment.
