Level EMIYA or no

I had just found out that EMIYA had received all the interlude/rank-up quest buffs, but i'm wondering whether I should level him up at all because i already have a NP5 Kuro.

Emiya is an AoE archer who ignores defense so he fills a very different role from Kuro, who is single target. He's very worth leveling.

Yeah as T said he is AOE so he has a different role from kuro, if you lack a good AOE archer he is certainly worth leveling, and in general he's pretty strong

Two very similar Servants but with slightly different niches. EMIYA's NP is AoE with great star drop rate as long as it's combined with his Hawkeye skill. Kuro is an ace boss killer even without the class advantage (except against lancers of course).

His skills also have a different arrangement compared to Kuro. Both have Projection for BAQ buff but EMIYA's has a higher rank for a slightly higher buff (not too big a difference though at only 5%). Kuro's kissing freak increases her NP gauge and star drop rate while her crit damage buff is tied to her evade. EMIYA has both star drop and crit buff on the same skill (his crit damage buff is also at least twice as powerful as Kuro's) while his Evade has a bonus Def up buff for afterwards, however small.

Asides from NP, where Kuro definitely hits much, MUCH harder on a one-to-one basis, EMIYA's normal attacks, when fully buffed, hit harder especially if it crits.

AAABQ deck Buster AOE NP and a massive crit up skill vs QQAAB deckArts ST and a 50% NP gauge skill, they are very different.

The similarities are Projection (Emiya is a little stronger on that), and an evade. Oh, they also can vomit stars with stargen up, tied to different skills.

Go on, even if you have Gil, Ishtar or Tesla, he is perfect for farming or killing saber/berserker bosses with crit. Do note that Hawkeye best utilization is in a NP turn against 3 enemies, as he will generate a lot of stars with the multiple hitcounts, allowing for sure hit next turn (preferably his, as the skill also gives a crit up for 3 turns).

I have him and Kuro as well and all I can say is that I don't really use him compared to Kuro.

Also, leveling up his skills just overall feels not too worth it even now and I don't really see that changing too much.

Don't get me wrong. I used a friend's Emiya during Nerofest due to his defense ignoring capabilities on Siegfried (who had monstrous defenses) but I just do not see him as useful as Kuro's raw overall potential.

Still, getting him to max level is generally a good idea just in case.

Kuro is great at boss killing, while Emiya is more on the farming side. If you like playing crit teams then Emiya will be a lot better than Kuro actually. Emiya has crit up and star gen up combined into one skill with insane values, while Kuro needs to use two skills for that and the skill values are lower overall.
