Arash is a powerful attacked when using his NP, with the highest multiplier in the game even though he is a 1 star which allows him to deal a large amount of damage without relying on buffs. However most of his use comes from his NP, he doesn’t do much else.
Pros
Extremely powerful Noble Phantasm
His demerit of dying after said Noble Phantasm can be useful
Cons
Dies immediately after using his NP
Strategies & Tips
The main strategy which people use is to have him clear a wave or the boss minions, die and then bring in a servant who can is required. It is a free servant exchange without having to use a master skill.

Noble Phantasm
Stella: Exceedingly high damage Noble Phantasm, one of the most powerful AOE NPs in the game. The power comes with a major demerit in the form of instant death after using it. Additional damage is also dealt according to overcharge level, when paired with another Noble Phantasm or Thomas Edison’s skill his damage can increase exponentially.

Skills
Upgrade Priority
Toughness EX:
A good defense skill, however the poison resist is strangely specific.
Clairvoyance A:
Very useful in a normal setting, allows Arash to generate stars.
Bow and Arrow Creation A: [JP Only]
His most important skill, unlocked through a strengthening quest. Allows him to use his NP on the first turn when equipped with kaleidoscope.
Honestly, Arash’s main use is that of a suicide attacker, he is expected to NP once except in a Guts-based team.
Priority: 2/1/3
Robust Health EX
Available from the start Increases own defense for 3 turns. Increases own poison resistance for 3 turns.

Important point is his 2 Arts, which makes it more consistent for him to build his NP. Most of the time you wouldn’t be able to use it more than once so it isn’t extremely important.
