He's not super amazing but I think he's pretty adaptable. My experience using him is that you can actually use him on a lot of different team comps successfully. The combination of having three arts cards, a Buster NP, and a skill that buffs your crit damage means he always has an option to contribute to the common combo strategies for burst damage. As a bonus, he's not a character that demands support to simply stay alive when he benefits from Protection from Arrows like the other Cus.

So the problems with him. Well obviously his attack stat is low, and his crit star gen and priority is also low, so generally he's only able to do good damage when either his NP is up (the def debuff and burn are not to be underestimated) or when your team can generate 50 crit stars (and while his crit damage buff is good, even with it he might not always be your top crit attacker).

Overall though I think he can team with a lot of characters as long as you know what setup you are aiming for. I've overall found it most difficult to get him to work with Quick oriented characters, which is probably more a problem with a lack of really strong Quick characters in the game currently. Teaming him with Gilgamesh is super fun since Gil not only has a Buster NP with a BBAAQ deck, but he generates an unfair amount of crit stars. Arts teammates like Hans though appreciate having Cu's 3 Arts cards to keep an NP chain running.

Also congrats on NP2. It's a really huge upgrade especially since Cu charges NP really fast. Because he charges NP really fast I think increased NP damage is probably the most consistent CE effect to pair on him for optimizing damage.
