Despite his fearsome looks, Gilles de Rais isn’t the servant that you would want to put in your party as there are many servants out there that can do the same stuff that he can but with better efficiencies.
Pros
Able to stun enemies. Gilles third skill, Evil Eye of the Abyss applies the Fear status on all enemies for five turns, meaning that they have a certain chance to be stunned within these five turns which would removed the debuff when success. Even though it is unreliable as you don’t know when it will triggers but you can increase the success rate using his first skill.
Cons
Low damage. Gilles overall damage is very weak without any kind of offensive buff in his skillset. The only way he can deal quite a bit of damage is by using his NP but don’t expect too much from it as it is inferior compared to the others.
Strategies & Tips
Gilles acts as a support for the party but doesn’t really provide that much utility to the party unlike the top tiers supports. However, he does have the ability to stun enemies and reducing their attack with his NP.
Noble Phantasm
Gilles’s Noble Phantasm, Prelati’s Spellbook deals damage to every enemies while reducing their attack for the next three turns. Even though the damage dealt isn’t that great but the attack reduction of 40% at Level 5 can be useful when taking into account that it is easy for him to reach NP5 as a 3* servant.
As Gilles himself lacks damage, Heracles can make up for the damage loss with his high attack while at the same time Gilles can support him by reducing the attack of the enemies so that Heracles can stay in the battlefield for much longer.
As Gilles only source of damage output is from his NP, we would like to equip him with this CE to boost his NP’s damage. Even though Black Holy Grail has a higher increase in NP damage but due to his low HP he might not be able to sustain the HP loss per turn.
As Gilles is best to be used as a support with the utilities he provides from his skillset, it is good if he can generate additional critical stars for the party.
When equipped on Gilles de Rais (Caster), Increase Buster Card performance of all allies by 20% but reduce critical star generation by 20% while on the field.

First of all we focused on levelling both his third and first skill for the stun effect and increase the success rate of the stun. The second skill is left for the last as even though it can reduce the target’s NP damage for a turn, 11% reduction at max level might not be enough to ensure your survival and it is better to depend on defensive buffs instead.
Mental Pollution A
Increases own mental debuff success rate for 3 turns. Increases own mental debuff resistance for 3 turns.

Gilles’s command cards performance is kind of average with slightly high star generation but with only one Quick card he is not going to help out too much in generating critical stars.
a Servant with an absolute joke of a skillset (seriously, why have Mental Corruption if the accompanying skill/effect he gets doesn’t come out until later? And why is his Aesthetic Appreciation so pitiful?) ... DW, Give him at least two strengthening quests and i'm fine with it!!!
