Erm, abilities inside their specialties, obviously? O.o

This is assuming that he even started with the horse, rather than gaining it through a bonus. Granted, his name is Rider, but his avatar is explicitly themes as a "Cowboy". Between that and his color, he had to start with at least one gun. A gun and a horse, and a special move... seems a bit much for a Level 1. Or else it was a somewhat whimpy horse.

The horse might not have had any offensive abilities at all. Heck, if a DUEL AVATAR, something made explicitly to fight, could be created without any offensive ability (White Cosmos), what more a horse? It could be purely for cosmetic purposes, or it could be a form of personal transport which improves his speed when travelling in the Unlimited Neutral Field.

Not necessarily. Since having the pile extended left him vulnerable, it would be in his favour to return the pile back as soon as it hit Crow.

Irregardless, we cannot simply disregard the fact that he managed to spear a small bug on the wall without even looking at it with something as unwieldy as his pile driver. Most of us can't even hit a fly with our bare hands

Splash Stinger is a series of needle guns on his chest. The projectiles fire straight forward. As his pile driver is to the side, there is no obstruction of the firing zone.
