He really isn't. He's pretty overrated. He can't make the most of himself or his skills unless he uses The Posthuman, and that skill literally cripples him. Nitroblaster is in the worse half of Elite monsters. Worse than Gorg, Dunn Ra, Kronx, Ugluk, and Wyrmlad. He's worse than 5, but better than 4. Without The Posthuman he can't use his Double Damage skill for himself, he can't use his Damage Boost from his trait either, meaning he can't maximize his damage output like he should. The Posthuman disables his trait, meaning he loses his Water Protection, making him vulnerable to that and there are some good Water attackers, he can easily get controlled after losing his trait, he can get many Negative Effects applied on him, so if you try to PER those away then he just gets his trait back and you just wasted a turn on The Posthuman. The Posthuman is an extremely risky skill causing him to not be as good. Also, Nitroblaster has a good amount of extra turn skills, so he is pretty weak to anticipation. Also, if he uses The Posthuman and then uses one of those extra turn skills, a common Water anticipator, Hookuai, can eat him alive. Lastly, CDA kinda cripples him as well.
