The worst part about him is that we have been spoiled by OP supports and OP damage dealers, making anything that isn't as OP, mediocre by comparison.

20% Party-wide Arts up is good, so is 17% Party-wide Attack up. If one is trying to use him as the main damage dealer, better bank on his critical hits with good critical damage up CEs, like Another Ending, that Jo suggested. He is a Rider after all. Dealing a critical hit with an Arts card can charge his NP gauge pretty fast too.

Considering the effect of his NP, I would use it as a stall gimmcik rather than a blunt attack.

I can't deny his second skill is very disappointing. I could live with 10% Party-wide NP charge if the Debuff resistance was a 40% or 50% deal. At only 20%, it's not going to protect anyone very effectively unless they have their own Debuff resistance (passive or active).

That said, he is still niche because Arts Rider are a rare breed.
