Introduction
With the return of the Dragonbound & Dragon Caller event, Chuan will be made available once again through the Monster Exchange system. Since her debut, Chuan has gone through various hurdles of viability and at this point in time, she has never been better.
This is because she has both a powerful Weapon Assist and leader/sub form. As such, I encourage all players to actively pursue her during the next two weeks.

Weapon Assist
Awakenings:
Active: Reduce HP by 20%; Deal 50x Dark damage to an enemy; Change the top row to Dark orbs (34 -> 4 turn CD)

Chuan’s Base form has now been transformed into a Weapon Assist which means she will transfer over awakenings when used as inherit. Thus, this could be many player’s first Full Bind Immune Weapon that also provides sizable Passive damage via Rows
.
In fact, there are only two other Weapons that can provide this many rows with one of them being Yugi which is rare to say the least and the other being Eris’s Apple who will reduce your card’s ATK by 2,000.
With this in mind, I am inclined to simply use her for the Passive Damage on my mono Dark teams. One other valuable aspect to Chuan’s Weapon Assist is the 34 -> 4 turn cooldown. If left unskilled, it is highly unlikely to ever charge up by accident but if fully skilled up, you can have access to a fast charging Dark row maker. For example, if inherited on Diaochan , you solve her vulnerability to Binds along with having a 6-turn row maker.
Evolved form
Active: Reduce HP by 20%; Deal 50x Dark damage to an enemy; Change the top row to Dark orbs (34 -> 4 turn CD)
Leader Skill: [Fixed 4 second movetime][No skyfall] 2x ATK for Dark Att.; 2x ATK when 3 or more combos up to 20x at 9 combos [1/1600/1]
Awakenings:
Super Awakenings:
Typing: Dragon / Devil
Available Killers:
Weighted Stats (Limit Break): 1004 (1205)
HP 5035 (6042) / ATK 2123 (2548) / RCV 228 (274)

Chuan’s Evolved form comes with an outrageous number of Dark Rows which heavily favours her being used as a Farming sub. This is because her Passive Damage combined with fast charging active ensures tanky spawns die with relative ease. Of course, players must be aware the Chuan does not provide any Skill Boosts
or Skill Bind Resist
so one must ensure those metrics are properly addressed.
On the other hand, Chuan can function as a high skill leader provided players can match numerous combos within 4 seconds. This fixed 4 seconds of orb movement time can be difficult to work with but can be a way to show of your Puzzling skills or for some Ranking Dungeons where speed, high damage, and too many preemptives for Zeus Verse are required (see this video HERE)
Conclusion
Chuan is such an amazing farmable card that there should be no reason why players are not acquiring her. For myself, I have mostly used her as a Weapon Assist as of late due to the sizable Passive Damage offered but have used her on occasion in her Evolved form.
Due to having value in two distinct forms, it is still best to acquire as many as possible and for the cost of 5 Rainbow Event Tokens, it is well worth the effort.
Let me know what you think about Chuan in the comments below and how you have been using her.
Happy Puzzling!

I’m liking Chuan as an inherit for Bakura (because I only got two Bakuras so I have no Bakura equips). Makes him unbindable, adds some damage, and won’t every replace his awesome active with a crappy one because of the extremely long base cd.

That is another great use for Chuan =D

I have two, but my box has trash dark monsters, so I have almost no use for her…

You might roll new things in the future and at worst, she is a bind immune weapon

I feel like this article is missing a crucial point: No defensive multipliers!

Maybe I’m missing something obvious here, but is there any way to skill up Chuan besides dumping a bunch of Pis on her?

Nope

There was the original dungeon that gifted Chuan to you, but since has been discontinued

Mantastic, her combination of a 4-second time fix & no sky fall makes her useless to me as a leader. Do you suggest using her as a sub on a team led by someone like Red Sonia? Anybody else?

Don‘t use her on the new Ronia, she won‘t be that useful

A questions for you, if you’d be so kind:
Yami Yugi teams add a boost to devil types. If I took Dolq (4 skill boosts, but not a devil) and gave him Chuan as a Weapon Assist, does he also get her Devil typing and the devil stat boost?
LikeLike
Unfortunately not. Equipping a weapon assists does not grant additional types.

^ Weapon Assists only transfer over the awakenings they provide along with some stats if both cards are the same colour
