Overview
Befitting a fitness coach, CR-21 and her Neural Upgrade keep up the pace and perform exactly as you’d expect from one as fit as her!
CR-21 MOD leans towards target prioritisation and making sure that the most important enemy dies swiftly. Her new Skill 2 is Creatine Supplement, which inflicts 20% Vulnerability on the enemy with the highest Damage stat and gives a 20% Damage boost to the ally with the highest DPS. This rescans and refreshes every 3 seconds and can also help other strong ARs excel at their roles, while also pairing nicely with her Skill 1, which allows her to target the highest damage enemy directly and deal additional instances of damage that ignore armor.
Note: The Skill Description for Creatine Supplement does state the Damage buff is for the highest damage stat ally. This description is simply wrong; it is for whichever ally has done the highest damage so far.
Overall, CR-21’s DPS is competitive with other upgraded ARs. This, when combined with her useful targeting on Skill 1 and the vulnerability debuff on Skill 2, can result in more dangerous enemies dying first and helping the rest of the team to stay alive. She’s also cheaper than a lot of the competition, due to being a 4 star at base.
Ultimately though, CR-21’s MOD is not enough to truly set her apart from other ARs who compete for the same slot. You’ll mostly still use her like you would any other generic AR, and in this case, she’s good but nothing particularly special. If you’re a fan of CR-21, then you will find a solid upgrade. If you do upgrade her, it is recommended to get her to MOD3, as her Special Equipment is an upgraded Focus Chip that will help her DPS even further.
