What Is Choi?
Choi is an early DPS starter bridge, not a long-term carry. Tier lists place Choi in C tier and describe it as a beginner damage unit that falls off quickly. That gives the player a clear rule: use Choi if the roster has no better DPS yet, then replace it as soon as stronger units come online. Beebom says Choi can handle beginner DPS work but gets replaced after stronger units arrive. Games.GG says Choi and Tranks are the best starting options for early DPS, while Zaro only fills empty slots. ChainPlay groups Choi with Tranks and Zaro as start-of-game units that are replaceable soon after. Choi's value is therefore narrow but real: it helps the first stretch of progression before the account can field Karashi, Big Beard, Vegata, Goki forms, Woo, or another stronger damage unit. Rare rerolls and long-term upgrade resources are only worth using on Choi if the live game forces the account through the next few stages with it. If Choi is clearing waves, keep using it while saving gems and materials. If waves start leaking, bosses stay alive, or a B-tier or higher DPS appears, move Choi out of the main damage slot.
How To Get Choi
Choi's exact obtain route still needs the live UI. Check the starter unit flow, summon banner, unit index, stage reward panels, and early mission rewards. If Choi appears as a starter or common pull, use it until a better DPS arrives. If the unit index shows a different route in the current patch, follow that live UI instead of assuming a permanent starter path.
Choi Abilities
Choi is used as basic early DPS. Its job is to deal enough damage for the first progression stages, not to carry hard bosses, raids, Infinite scaling, or late-game farming. Exact attack type, cooldown, range, placement cap, upgrade prices, passive text, and whether it has any special effect need the live unit card before fixed values are safe. Choi is a temporary damage slot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Works at the start: Choi can carry the first few damage checks when the account has no better unit. It gives new players something to place while saving for better summons or evolutions.
- Clear replacement point: Choi's role is easy to manage because it is not a long-term investment. When a stronger DPS joins the roster, Choi moves out without a hard decision.
Cons
- Falls off quickly: Tier lists are clear about Choi falling behind. It should not stay as the main damage unit once enemies gain more health or bosses start surviving too long.
- Poor target for rare rerolls: Choi is not the right place for expensive trait rerolls if the account can save them for Gometa, Woo, Madora, Karashi, Vegata, Goki forms, or another higher-ceiling unit.

Obtain Methods
- Check starter and banner routes: Look for Choi in the starter unit flow, summon banner, unit index, early mission rewards, and first-stage reward panels. The current UI decides whether Choi is a starter, a common summon, or another early reward.
- Use until a better DPS appears: Keep Choi active only while it is the best owned damage unit. Once Big Beard, Karashi, Vegata, Goki forms, Woo, or another stronger unit arrives, move upgrade focus away from Choi.

When to field it
Field Choi when the account has no better DPS and needs to clear the first stages. If Choi kills waves before they reach the base, keep saving resources. If Choi cannot keep up, the next goal is a stronger damage unit, not more support around Choi.
Team fit
Choi fits a starter team beside basic support, economy, or tank pieces only until better damage arrives. Fastwagon can help upgrades, Mamosa can patch survival, and Shield Hero can hold lanes, but none of those should turn Choi into a long-term carry plan.
Trait boundary
Premium traits are not worth chasing on Choi unless the account has no other unit to use. A basic damage trait can help early clears, but rare rerolls belong on units that stay relevant longer.
What to verify in game
Check Choi's card for attack type, range, cooldown, placement cap, upgrade prices, and any passive text. Then compare stage results against Tranks, Zaro, Big Beard, Karashi, or the next owned DPS to decide when Choi leaves the team.
