Feel free looking for SR Assassin able to win against Gugalanna without team aid.

Besides Kiritsugu himself is not that far from Shirou when it comes to magic, he only slightly better than him, instead of on totally different level; later Shirou technically better than him by merit of UBW.

If he is really good at magic like you said, then he wouldn't need Avalon to abuse Time Accel. Yet FZ bio confirm that he need Avalon to be on par with Kirei so his real capabilities is lower than that; Time Accel is closer to a NP of him, so FGO already got it correct.

Gameplay-wise, its not like everyone have to be able to do everything, especially those on lower rarities. Kiritsugu role is mainly a support DPS with his NP providing deal as good as main DPS and to this date no other Assassin can replace him in providing tactical advantages.

Of course its not without pro and con. Kiritsugu 'con' is he relies on crit game to get his boost. If your stars per turn is low, you won't see Chronos Rose more than once. It made him susceptible to enemies capable of dishing high amount of damage in short time which including Gugalanna itself ... Good if you think of using various CE instead of flat all Event CE.

Kiritsugu is still viable on NA. On JP, we got enough option to cover each other the point he may not getting skill upgrade anytime soon.
