Pros |
- Omen of Rebellion is a loaded skill, and his defining trait. Phys Pierce, 50% acc, 50% phys damage, 40% incoming aoe damage reduction, on top of 40% more universal damage reduction when he's in a state of Charge, and a chain that activates any time an ally dies, as well as at the end of his team's turn, dealing 4x20BP aoe to the enemy team, and granting Charge after the effect. This effect devastates T1 teams, nearly guaranteeing a wipe if two teammates die separately before he is killed, and additionally does great damage to tankier T2 or Midrange teams.
- Arms Dance debuffs the enemy's DEF and EV/AC, and then does 200BP Phys (Physical) damage to a single target as a chain, meaning if any hit does manage to miss, despite your innate 85% acc, you don't lose press turns.
- Zealous Rebel, which is his teal Gacha skill, is the perfect skill for him, helping him fight against other Chi Yous, while giving him more HP.
- Solid panels which give him damage, buff control, HP, and even more accuracy.
- Combined with The 10th Angel, really punishes T1 teams that rely on crit passing and Elohim's high AoE damage.
- Has incredible staying power with his innate repels and high damage reduction when in a state of Charge.
- Does incredibly high amounts of damage in Phys Democ when paired with Zaou-Gongen or Futsunushi to get around his crit penalty.

Cons |
- Weak to Elec, a major weakness with Elec Bros running around.
- Both Arms Dance and Omen of Rebellion hit 4x without preventing counters. Many players will use transfers like Faithful Counter, Zealous Rebel, and even Death Counter in a pinch to counter Chi You. Due to chain effect timing, he won't have his Charge damage reduction, and as they're single target attacks, he won't have his aoe damage reduction either.
- Has only fairly average stats. It's not always easy to make him do a ton of damage while also being able to survive long enough to proc his chains.
- Vulnerable to Silent Prayer effects like Masakado B's Heavenly Sword Stroke chain.
- Kalki completely counters him, nearly removing him from the meta entirely.
