Pros
  • Tachikoma Support gives him a whopping +75% Battle Speed and autocasts a two-turn Rakunda + Sukunda when going first, making him very useful for Fast Teams.
  • Against single targets, SEBURO C-40A deals massive damage, totalling up to 320 Base Power - this is even higher than Hassou Tobi (280 BP) and Ashura (300 BP), and is further augmented by Death Blow in Purple.
  • Due to being coded as a conditional "when attacking first" skill (like Solars), Tachikoma Support will activate even during the Boss Phase in Democalypse. Combined with SEBURO C-40A's high base power, this makes him very useful for Phys Democalypse - provided you transfer another Single Target attack to use once he runs out of Seburo charges.
  • Panel 2 provides an additional Seburo charge and gives him additional accuracy + crit rate, very useful (and borderline mandatory) if going for a Democalypse boss build.
  • His middling AGI is both a blessing and a curse. On the plus side, having low AGI lets him go last in terms of turn order, where you can fully utilize SEBURO C-40A against softened / less targets. On the flip side however...
Cons
  • ... Low base AGI means he won't be able to fully take advantage of the +75% Battle Speed from Tachikoma Support, roughly making him the equivalent of an uninvested P0 Garuda in terms of Battle Speed contribution.
  • Epitome of Fortitude is a laughably wasted skill on a Turn 1 unit.
  • Does nowhere near enough damage to even begin to puncture Demeter bulwarks.
Notes
  • If using for Democalypse, be aware that his AI will refuse to use Luster Candy on Turn 1, even with Support AI and massive VIT investment. This is likely due to SEBURO C-40A's insane base power affecting the AI's decision-making.
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
