Operator Overview
“Well done, Doctor. Castle-3 is your best choice on the path of justice!”
One of the mechanical mascots of Rhodes Island, Castle-3 has been programmed to do two things: to adore “Master Closure” above all others, and to help the Doctor as a 1* Robot Guard.
Like fellow Robot Lancet-2, Castle-3 works by different rules than most Operators. He does not count against Unit Limit when deployed on the field, but he has an extremely long Redeploy Time. He cannot be promoted, and he has no Skills. His value lies in his Talent, Tactical Configuration, which buffs the ATK and DEF of all melee Operators for a short time when he is deployed. Deploying Castle-3 at an opportune moment can allow your Operators to defeat waves that might otherwise overwhelm them.
After his buff has expired, Castle-3 can still serve as a Block-1 melee Operator, but with his terrible stats and lack of Skills, this is rarely useful. It’s usually best to drop Castle-3 for his buff, then retreat him so he can potentially redeploy later. He can also be used as bait for enemies like Bombtails or boss units, as delaying or distracting these opponents for even one attack can sometimes be critical. Castle-3 is a great candidate for these suicide missions because he is incredibly cheap to deploy and can be used even at full team deployment. If you don’t plan to bring him to battle, leveling Castle-3 to max is still worthwhile for his second RIIC building buff, Combat Guidance Video, which greatly increases the production rate for Battle Records.
Newbie Tier List Explanation
Cannot be used as you would a typical Operator, but can be used as a bait at full deployment since he ignores the limit.
Base Skill Analysis
Second RIIC Skill unlocks upon reaching Level 30.
Is it worth it? Absolutely. This is the 2nd highest possible % gain and a dirt-cheap upgrade cost. The biggest challenge for most players will be recruiting him, as robots tend to be very rare.

Profile
Castle-3 is a custom Raythean -Plus six-wheeled operations platform built by Closure. A likeable mascot for Rhodes Island, his mundane disposition means he is largely ignored.
The solid blocky appearance of Castle-3 gives off a trustworthy, dependable impression.
The marks on his casing may represent kills, but who made the marks if he has no hands?
