@Simon Yes, his np hits hard, but at the cost of having low damage for normal attack. He suffers the same thing with Emiya until recent Tamamo buff and release of Chiron, which is having 3 art card and a buster np, using memelin on them doesn't buff their art card damage as effective as buster's, using tamamo lowers their np damage(since she doesn't buff np dmg last time), there's no way you can fix that easily.

Him being support? Only for rider,archer,foreigner and those with crit absorption skill(or you can use ce on ur main dps, which will reduce the buff you get that directly contributes to your damage output). Since 2030 exist, for most of the times they do better than his bce(higher chance to crit>np gain higher>can use np more>better choice compared to bce), not to mention the extra hp frm 2030. You will not like a support who steals your main dps's stars and still sucks 10 just to buff you 25% np dmg(assuming you are not using evil servant).

Imo, the best way to use him right now is, everyone use 2030, and use servants with strong team buff or debuff, and let everyone do some damage, since it's best if their class are the same, it's best to go for James + Chiron + Chiron or James + Chiron + Ishtar or something similar.

I believe people doesn't like the buff mostly because it's not an direct upgrade, like you need Chiron to make him work or etc. Also it doesn't change his position in the Archer Ranking, he is still overshadowed by many other Archer. New servants are getting stronger, and the old servants will need some buff to have more play value. If only they now change the crit absorption skill to 3 turn lol.
