Overview
CZ2000 is a sustained dps AR. Her skills are balanced and her kit is rather decent for a 4 star AR. Due to the situational nature of her skill, CZ2000 performs drastically differently at day and night. She is a decent self-buffer option at daytime, and not quite as much for a night team. If a commander finds themselves looking for more AR options and needs specifically what CZ2000 offers, she can be a decent investment.
Pros
Good Uptime
A 4 second initial cooldown and 10/16 skill uptime is good for an AR and provides consistent DPS.
Good Daytime Self-buff
The daytime form of CZ2000’s skill is strong and has a high multiplier at 65% firepower and 25% crit-rate.
Cons
Mediocre Tiles
CZ2000’s tile shape makes her suited to be in position 7 to buff an off-tank, but her rate of fire and evasion buffs, while they help, are not really what an offtank ideally wants.
Less Useable Buff at Night
The nighttime form of CZ2000’s skill, self buffs rate of fire with the lower dps increase of 50% and 40% accuracy, which generally performs slightly worse and can overcap more easily
Full analysis
CZ2000’s tilebuffs leave something to be desired for an off-tank, but at least can help with increasing their survivability and damage output. What her skill self-buffs changes depending on if the map is night or daytime.
In daytime, CZ2000’s self-buff is firepower and crit rate, while at night it is rate of fire and accuracy. The daytime variant has decent enough multipliers with the added crit rate making CZ2000 perform about similarly with the self-buffing standard Gr G41. She certainly is a good contender for a self-buffing spot on any ARSMG at daytime.
Her skill’s night version is slightly more complex. Accuracy often is not a concern for ARs as they have naturally high accuracy and CZ2000 should be equipped with a PEQ at night. To counteract the accuracy self buff, CZ2000’s rate of fire self buff multiplier is lower than usual for ARs. On top of that, while rate of fire buffs can come out on top in certain niche situations like against Orthros, CZ2000 will perform rather mediocrely trying to brute force nighttime armored units. Her extra accuracy will be useless against 0 evasion and firepower self-buffers are better for trying to beat their armor. So, while not the worst pick, there are oftentimes better options than CZ2000 for a night team.
