He's a good one, especially if you are looking for servants to take against [Evil] enemies and the said enemies have Sure Hit buff in their skill, the thing only Cu is scared of. His high HP naturally boasts good guarantee as a tanker and his Innocent Monster skill also gives Taunt to himself, a perfect combination with his self healing + ATK-DEF boost. His Military Tactic is also a good supportive skill which is quite uncommon compared to ATK boost and card type related buffs.

Combined with Mashu, this uncle can alternatively take damage together with our little kouhai. Combined with Kiritsugu, this uncle can take your enemies' attention 1 turn longer. Combined with Merlin and you will get a boss-killing tanky thick anti evil NP repeating uncle. If you don't have any goldy supports, remember that you can always employ Hans as this uncle can take damage for him.

Raising his first two skills is a must and you can put off Innocent Monster for later, at least until you can get any of his first two maxed. For me, it's better to use him for his tanky build and his ability to support others' NP before thinking about how many stars he can give. Besides, his star gen doesn't worth much compared to how risky it is to taunt an enemy, especially on bosses.

Wouldn't recommend him to go against non-Archer bosses as you can find better boss killers, but still a fellow you can put in the team in the long run. I will recommend using CEs to enhance either his Buster performance, anti-humanoid CE, or anything involving his NP gain which is rather troublesome if you don't get lucky enough.

A small extra note: Actually, there's no need to ask how to use this uncle as his role is heavily dependent to who you bring to the battlefield along with him.
