Raikou plus Saber Lancelot?

I had been planning to run a poor-ish man’s crit team with Fuuma for star gen, Hans for buffs, and Raikou for damage, but I just pulled Saber Lancelot, and I’m wondering if it’s a harebrained idea to sub out Fuuma for Lancelot as a hybrid star generator and damage dealer. My overarching thinking is that both Raikou and Lancelot can be excellent servants, but they fall off a lot when their skills are down — so when that happens, why not switch to the other one? For instance, Raikou’s brave chain NP can generate a ton of stars, but unless my deck is immediately shuffled afterwards, odds are that she won’t have a bunch of cards turn up next turn to take advantage of those stars — and that’s where Lancelot could step in. The card sets are also somewhat synergistic, with BBAA NPB and BBAA NPA creating decent possibilities for rapid NP gain or high damage crit buster chains.

Some potential downsides: the team lacks survivability skills, and it may be hard to keep Raikou and Lancelot from fighting over the same stars. What else am I missing?

It is generally inadvisable to have both Raikou and Saberlot in the same team due the amount of support that both need to truly shine. Saberlot is by no means a good star generator, relying on his skills to get them, all of which are only relevant on higher levels especially for team use. The investment required is very high and usually it's for his own use as well. Their decks also don't really compliment each other. While they do have 2 Arts cards, they also have 2 Buster cards which reduces the odds of performing Arts chains, the primary source of their NP.

It is, however, easy to assign supports for them since they need the same type of supports: Crit buffs and durability. So making a team for them and switching between Raikou and Saberlot is easier compared to other niche comps.
