More versatile, better utilities with enough damage to ensure he's not slowing the team.

Ryougi indeed have benefit free NP 5, NP Charge, and evasion, but she won't be far from Rider nodes while you can expect Kiritsugu assist your team outside Rider nodes, making him good ally to rely when Rider is not main enemies and you need the Assassin to have good tools.

Regarding his NP, indeed its difficult but ...I'm more surprised if someone found its difficult to get his NP ready with all 'tools' available on JP. Assuming you're not new players who rush things to SIN, you should have enough to let him NP spam; Abigail NP gain is still more severe compare to him that saying you can't NP spam with him is kinda exaggerating it.

Izo himself is legit competitor to SR on same way Kojiro compete with them.

Solid performance but low stats following low rarities, high NP level is needed if you have any intention to use him regularly.
