Hearsay can inaccurate sometimes. NR is hailed as a powerful defensive crit-based caster by some, but if you proc Astolfo's crit damage buff (or soft-reset until you do) he becomes an even stronger defensive crit servant than NR. He also becomes much stronger in situations with high np gain, like vs Tiamat or Goetia where he just straight up solo them.

Astolfo's main weakness is his sheer unreliability and inconsistency, which is where riders like Ushi/Ozy/Drake/Quetz trump him by far.
