Sadly, the balance you said exist in form of those Buster cards. If lowering NP Gain or the defense debuff made things easier for them having AAAQB, they shouldn't have no issue to do it as they already did Abigail with her low NP Gain to ensure she is not that high being neutral unit.

Foreigner has inherent weakness of neutral state. Preventing them exerting high damage against majority of classes. Hokusai avoid it by granting defense debuffs, coupled with AOE NP so party can make up for lack of damage they did in case you have no other way to push their damage.

Against harder content, abusing Arts expecting you can firmly stack debuff is not that reliable as enemy can simply having debuff immunity.

If Hokusai goes AAAQB-- harder bosses has no qualms burn them to death before the defense debuff met the necessary amount to make up for such high amount of Arts card. As much you pour Arts buffs like Fox Wedding to made them unleash NP as fast as possible, you can't deny they need that Buster card so their kit can do the job firmly covering their neutral state.
