Strategy/Usage

Similarly to Maeda Keiji, this unit can be used as either a tank against its trait or as a generalist midranger. Keiji Claus, however, despite not being as strong as Immortal Keiji due to the lack of a true form, still has some advantages in form of better range, pre-TF stats and activating its strenghten ability earlier than pre-TF Maeda Keiji.

Unlike Maeda, however, this unit faces competition as a tank, mainly from a Talented Ultimate Bondage Cat and Roe Cat. This restricts its usage further, making Keiji Claus an unnecessary addition in most cases, although it can still help in wave centered stages or as a replacement for the two aforementioned units if they haven't been obtained yet.

Even then, as a generalist, when compared to Immortal Keiji, their health is lower and, despite having the same damage as them, due to their Strengthen activating at 40%, not 50%, the overall generalist value is still lower, despite being viable still.
