Oda Nobunaga is a star vacuum that can absorbed all the critical stars generated and translate them into high critical damage with her skillset. She also has skills that specifically targets servants with Riding and Divine traits making her a great servant to have in the battlefield that lives up to her name.
Pros
Increased damage against enemies with Riding and Divine traits. With the Tenka Fubu skill that increases her damage against Divine servants and her NP that deals additional damage against Riding servants, Oda can deals significant damage against servants with these traits, not to mention that a lot of the servants in the game fall under these two categories. Furthermore, if you are up against a Saber class servant along with those traits such as Attila and Artoria, Oda is going to destroy them with ease due to class affinity plus the increased damage against specific traits.
Multiple hits on command cards. Oda hits two times with Quick, four times with both Arts and Buster and five times on Extra, making her almost comparable to Francis Drake who can also hit multiple times and has the same command card layout. Oda also has high star absorption and critical damage from her Demon King skill but lacks any kind of star generating skill and a Quick card that only hits for two times. Therefore, it is better to have party members to supply her with the critical stars or by equipping star generating CE.
Cons
Deals only moderate damage against non-Riding or Divine traits enemies. As Oda does not have any other offensive buff, she can only focused more on critical damage with the critical stars generated by her allies when going up against enemies without the Riding or Divine traits.
Weak stars generation. With only one Quick card that hits for two times, Oda’s star generation is very bad even though she does have a skill that increases her critical damage and star absorption.
Strategies & Tips
Oda’s main role in a party is an attacker that is specialized in going up against enemies with the Riding and Divine traits. However, outside of that, Oda’s damage against other enemies is reduced by quite a bit and need to focus more on critical to make up for the damage loss. Therefore, it is best to fit her in party that can provides her with star support as herself has a high star absorption rate.
Noble Phantasm
Oda’s Noble Phantasm, Three Thousand Worlds is an AOE NP that has a high hit count of ten that deals considerate amount of damage especially when using it against Riding servants. Due to its high hit count, you can have a large of critical stars ready for the next turn when you fit a first slotted Quick card into the attack order.
A critical focused servant that works well together with Oda as she has a much better star generation rate while being able to dish out quite a lot of damage on her own.
As Oda can hit for four times with her Arts card, it is a good idea to equip her with CE that increases her NP gain that also works well with her Strategy skill.
If you already have party members that can generate critical stars for Oda, then it can be considered to equip her with this CE to further increases her offensive ability.
When equipped to Oda Nobunaga (Archer) only, increase Critical Strength for all allies by 25% while on the field.

Skills
Upgrade Priority
You will consider both the first and third skill as the top priority skills to be levelled as the increase in NP generation is good for the party while the damage boost and star absorption benefits Oda a lot as a main attacker. The second skill should only be levelled if you tend to face a lot of Divine trait servants as this skill is not as versatile as the others.

Oda’s command cards performance is pretty good as most of them can deal multiple hits with the only drawback being having only one Quick card in her layout to increase star generation.
