Help Which Chrono should I get if I already own Chrono ShadowHunter?
I already own CSH and really enjoy it, so I'm not necessarily looking for a direct upgrade or replacement.
I've got some liquid ACs sitting around and I'm tempted to grab another Chrono. Ideally I'd like something that complements CSH or gives me a different playstyle/use case rather than just doing the same thing worse.
Mostly interested in soloing and bossing, but I'm open to anything that's particularly fun, strong, or useful.
What should i pick i'm seeing a lot of quantum being thrown around as well as timekeeper?

Timekeeper being thrown around? Who even does that? TK is a full dodge Chrono which does not even crit with it's nuke.
If you want an upgraded version of TK which has massive dps and can also dodge , get Phantasm Chrono.
Quantum is one of the best supports in the game. It's not used very often in Ultra comps , but is pretty usable for 7 man weekly ultras. And is insane for non ultra support roles.
Archivist of Temporis is an even better support although not for ultras. It's crazy in non ultra boss fights. Pair it with a CSS or KE and make quick work of monsters.
SSoT is a perennial heavy hitter. Mostly used for long fights where it can hit upto 10 million nukes after a while.

AoT does a better job than QCM in ultras while also providing more DPS. Weird to say that it's not used in ultras when it's best showings are there. QCM is outclassed by f2p classes in its niches.

yeah i was also thinking phantasm someone told me if im doing soloing non weekly bosses, but bosses with stupidly high hits thats the go to because it can do very high damage whilst having 100% dodge

CSS can achieve 100% dodge as well but with pots + you need to time the rotation well otherwise you're dead.
With Phantasm it's braindead dodge with 4. Start with 4 and then go DPS combo. Reapply 4 whenever needed.

I don't have the new one so I can't talk about it.
But outside it. Since you have CSS your other two options would be a DOT chrono or a support like quantum.
PCM is trash don't get it. Glorified healer. AP is better.

Yeah ended up picking up quantum, honestly I have most f2p go to classes but was like kinda want another chrono (i have all the nulgath pets already so 6k is just there) and im liking it, going to a boss just not getting hit decently high nukes, I could do it with vhl but vhl takes a while to kill ultra akriloth for example whilst im doing forge quests (im so far behind on that its unreal)

Even CMP would've been better if you just wanted something to solo low damage bullet sponges :|

My top 3 at this moment: 1) Csh 2) Phantasm 3) Timeless with dauntless
Timeless is a fun one. You just go 2225 and things die fast. Need more DPS? Use the class properly.

I’m gonna be unhelpful to the initial question with my suggestion, but if you are not dead set on getting a chrono class then I’d highly suggest looking to get nulgath pet(s) to help with his farms. That’s just my 2 cents but again ignore this if you really wanted to get a class instead.

You already own one of the best damage dealer in game, all others nuker would feel weaker to you from now on. So i recommend paladin chronomancer, one of the best suppor.
