Introduction

Is Popukar good?
Popukar hits every enemy she's currently blocking at once, and she's the cheapest Centurion Guard to field in terms of DP. Her talent pumps up both HP and ATK, making her tougher than most other 3-star Guards early on, and pairing her with a nearby 
Medic turns her into a surprisingly sturdy wall for a Guard.
She's a D on our list since she caps out at Elite 1 and can only block two enemies, well below what higher-rarity Centurions manage, but she still earns her keep before those become available.
Strengths
- Hits every enemy she's blocking simultaneously
- Cheapest Centurion Guard to deploy
- Talent boosts both HP and ATK
- Surprisingly sturdy with a Medic nearby
Weaknesses
- Capped at Elite 1
- Can only block two enemies, less than other Centurions
Profile
Popukar is a female Cautus. Her birthday is July 2nd, and she stands 144 cm tall. Popukar is voiced by Kayli Mills in English, Chiyo Ousaki in Japanese, and Ryu Jeom-hee in Korean.
Background
Popukar the young Rim Billitonian Cautus could have a good childhood, but she was sold by her parents to a lumber factory and had been working there without education or even safety precaution.
Eventually, she contracted Oripathy with her right eye being replaced by a patch of Originium crystal.
Luckily, Popukar met Kal'tsit and Ansel and was later brought to Rhodes Island for treatment.
Under Kal'tsit's order, the little girl became a full-fledged operative of the Op Reserve Team A6 utilizing a chainsaw in combat.
Although she seems like a well-behaved child, Popukar can go berserk and exhibit destructive behaviour, to a point that she could be a match to adults.
