I'm no master of Izou, and I can't tell you if his NP gain or star gen is good but I can explain 2 or 3 things :

For starter, his first skill : Manslayer. When maxed out, you get a clear double damage on anything humanoid for one turn, which includes every Servant in the game. Combine that with a decent critical buff and a single-target Arts NP (which means he can potentially NP spam), and you have yourself a prime anti-Servant Assassin.

Then, he has the fastest star absorption skill in the game with his third skill. At max, you can unleash it every 3 turns! Imagine that : Use skill > wreck havoc > build star on the next turn > your skill is now recharge > rinse and repeat.

His second skill is nothing special, your generic Mind's Eye (False) BUT, combine with his first skill, means a total of 62% critical damage for 1 turn... make that double against humanoids.

Last but not least, his Noble Phantasm's forte isn't in its raw damage, so him being limited only hinders your ability to NP5 him easily. It does good damage at NP1 and, being Arts, you can potentially spam it, compensating for the lack of opportunities to NP5 him. His OC effect is more important anyway, as it gives him the ability to drop more stars, which means more crits, which means more pain.

You have it : Critical-based Arts Boss-Servant Slayer!
