It's not hard to set him up for the first time NP, maybe. It's hard to sustain his performance afterwards, even with a team built around him. He needs enough stars to cover his berserker starweight, strong defense/taunters to cover his berserker fragility, and most importantly a damage booster to make up for his non-damaging NP. This severely limits his team comp, and even with the most optimal team for him there are lots of ways that the setup can fail.

21k HP with Mashu's defense buffs? A mob enemy from lostbelt will take him out in 1 turn with 2 crits. Managed to generate 30 stars for this turn? Either none of Hyde's cards showed up or the other party member hogged all of those stars. He can deal 40k damage with a brave chain? There are three enemies with 80k HP and 3 NP ticks. Need a buster brave chain? The only way you could do that is with the first NP.

I have a fully levelled hyde, and as much as I love that deranged personality, I've got plenty of zerkers who could achieve the same level of performance reliably and consistently with less hassle. He's not weak, but he's pretty unreliable.
