Can I also add that NP cards actually carry their multipliers as if they're the first card of their type? So Buster NPs are actually 1.5x as strong as they appear on paper, and Quick NPs are only 0.8x as strong.

Might as well put in my personal opinion on him too, as a frequent Bedivere user (before DQ3Liz, my only single target Saber was Caesar. Go figure.)

His stats are actually top of the line as far as 3* Sabers go, especially his ATK. Riding A makes his 2-hit Quicks actually pretty legit (still a 2 hit Quick, so don't expect Hassan levels of stargen). NP gain is very much above average, especially in Brave chains.

Military Tactics is straightforward so no comments on that.

Calm and Collected may look strange at first glance, plus the NP charge doesn't scale with level. Mental debuff resistance only really affects Charm, too. But it's still free 30% NP on demand, which allows instant NP combined with Kaleidoscope or LB Imaginary Number Magic.

Oath of Protector only lasts for 1 turn, and the relevant part (DEF+) doesn't scale with level either, but it can still be useful to reduce damage, particularly from big hits (combined with other DEF buffers like Mashu, as stated). Bonus points if the big hit comes with possibly crippling debuffs that the debuff resist can block. Bonus bonus points if the big hit pierces invulnerability so DEF is the only thing that can save you anyway.

Wouldn't say his kit isn't unorthodox. Wouldn't say he's too niche to be useful in most situations, either.
