Iskandar is really strong especially after his interlude, but as LazyCat said he can be quite expensive to invest in, as is with any 5* servant. If you aren't in dire need of an AoE rider and have someone like santa alter or drake leveled and skilled up I'd recommend holding your ascension mats/QP for other servants who need it more.

Broskandar is best bro however so if you really like him, by all means level him. His damage and star gen on NP+skill 3 is nothing to sneeze at and functions similarly to how Raikou does. Kill one wave with NP, eat stars next turn and crit down another wave.

If you plan on leveling him and skilling him best order imo is 3-1-2 since firing off his NP to wipe a wave and gen some stars is sort of his shtick. I generally use mine to clear waves of zerkers or casters, but he can easily be used to clear any wave of trash that aren't assassins so long as they have around 30k or less health.

You could also use him to boost dmg on another servant with his 1 and 2 skills, but there tend to be better options for this i.e. nightengale/shakespeare tamamo/mozart shisho/atalanta, and his star weight makes him really awkward in a support role.
