I disagree with giving Cu a Star absorb CE. During the downtime of Cu's first skill, his lowish atk means you don't really want him absorbing stars on turns where his first skill isn't active. You don't want Cu Caster to be your only primary damage dealer because of this. What he *can* do though is be there to pop his first skill on turns where you don't draw many cards for another damage dealer.

Also with three arts cards and kinda absurdly high NP gain, an Arts brave chain alone often nets you at least 70% NP or more. Especially since his NP has a good defense debuff, you'll be using it pretty liberally in actual practice. I would argue Caster Cu is more of an NP spammer than he is really just a crit damage dealer, but the fact he has a crit damage modifier is a very nice bonus in terms of comp flexibility.

I think Cu's Bond CE is the closest to being the most effective CE on him as a result, given it both amplifies his NP damage, and also assists the other thing he's good at which is survivability. If you don't have that, almost any other NP damage CE works well because of said insane NP gain rate.
