He is perhaps the best attacker in the game, with the ability to deal damage through both his Buster cards and his NP. A single NP-Buster-Buster chain can obliterate a boss easily. However as a Berserker he will take a lot of damage and has no defensive skills to protect himself, which makes him a glass cannon.
Pros
Very high attack.
Attack buff which further increases said high attack.
NP gauge skill.
Cons
Has no real defensive capability.
Strategies & Tips
Kintoki serves as a main damage source and a single target nuker. In his vanilla form he is very susceptible to being killed in one turn if the enemy crits or gets multiple attacks off on him. Therefore it is advised that you provide him protection through the use of taunts and defense buffs. Servants which provide invincibility are especially useful.
Best Servants to Work with
Servant
Explanation
Le Chavelier d’Eon Provides protection so that Kintoki can deal damage without worry.
Mash Kyrielight Brings invincibility and additional defense.
Zhuge Liang Turn 1 NP if Animal Dialogue is at level 10, and also provides defensive buffs.
Merlin (Currently unavailable on the EN version) Buster/Health increase, increases NP gauge, and invincibility. As has been stated many times before Merlin is the perfect Buster servant support.
Best CEs
Servant
Explanation
Limited/Zero Over Damage from buster, can benefit both NP and his normal Buster cards. Make sure that Kintoki has protection if running this card.
Kaleidoscope If the Battle will be very short or you wish to NP as early as possible.
First Sunrise (Currently unavailable on the EN ver.) Buster card effectiveness and NP gauge, for shorter battles, if it limit broken it provides 50% gauge which when combined with Animal Dialogue means 100% on turn 1. If not then should be combined with other skills.
Halloween Princess (Currently unavailable on the EN ver.) NP gauge and damage, since it is an event CE it is highly likely that this card will be limit broken. However it is only available during the Halloween event.
Necromancy (Currently unavailable on the EN ver.) If you believe in the heart of the cards, then this card may revive Kintoki multiple times.
When equipped to Kintoki (Berserker) only, increase your NP Strength by 30% & 30% chance to increase your NP Gauge by 5% each time you attack

Skills
Upgrade Priority
The priority between the first and the second skill depends on the setup that Kintoki is being paired with. If his NP gauge can be filled reliably then leveling up Monstrous Strength is more beneficial, however if he will struggle to generate NP gauge then leveling up his second skill is more beneficial.
Need NP gen: 2>1>3 Else: 1>2>3
Monstrous Strength A+:
A very good skill that gives a large attack benefit even at level 1, High Priority.
Animal Dialogue C:
NP gauge granting skills are rare on Berserkers, and the amount granted is significant. At level 1 if combined with Kaliedoscope can provide a turn 1 NP, and at level 10 can be combined with Waver for the same result. High Priority
Natural Body A:
Heal and debuff resist, while the debuff resist is important because attack debuffs can be highly detrimental to Kintoki. However, this skill has lower priority than the others.

Allows Kintoki to dish out damage with buster chains easily. Also allows easier activation of a NP-Buster-Buster combo. His Arts and Quick also have good NP generation, though it may be hard to use them because there is only one of each in the deck.
