While Krantz is geniuinely a good unit, I personally believe that Regil is better. I have three reasons for stating so:

1. Krantz VS Regil's usability. Krantz and Regil can both act as tanks their potential to reach high stats (20000 health and more than 5000 defense each); however Regil has more balanced stats. This means that, unlike Krantz, Regil has more overall usability.

2. Leader skills. Krantz's LS can provide a hefty 150% boost to attack as well as a 60% boost to health, and also boosts BB spam thanks to BB gauge boosts each turn and the BC & HC droprate boost. However, to gain that nice parameter boost, there's a requirement: your squad of 6 must have at least 5 different elements involved in it. On the other hand, Regil can provide a 50% boost to all parameters in his LS, as well as a 10% innate elemental mitigation from all 6 elements; both of which can be further boosted to 60% and 15% respectively. That, combined with its innate 200% boost to BBAtk and 50% boost to BC efficiacy, is what makes him a popular leader.

3. BB, SBB, and UBB buffs. Admittedly there's no way to analyze both of them against each other as they provide different buffs entirely. As such, I'll be comparing each of them within their own respective niches.

Krantz is honestly an amazing mitigator compared to other units. He is a very strong tank; and provides very good buffs that solidifies him as a support: Mitigation, BC & HC droprate buffs, Burst HP heal, removes status ailments via BB, as well as adding light and dark elements to a unit's attack. He also has access to HP when attacking or being attacked, status ailment cleanse in SBB, and a Defense in relation to Rec boost. This makes him an incredible mitigator, which is why he was a meta unit for a while.

Regil, on the other hand, is the current meta as a lead and as an all-around unit. His main strengths lie in his SBB; which provides an innate 450% boost to BBatk and 150% boost to spark damage, which are both at the top tier buffs. Aside from that, he also gets a spark vulnerability buff in his SBB and an attack boost in his BB; and his SBB has a damage multiplyer, further enhancing his ability as a unit. Finally, he also has access to various support buffs, such as burst HP heal, Attack and Defense boost buffs for light types, ailment negation, as well as elemental damage boost negation. This solidifies him as an all-around stellar unit who can be used in any situation.

However, it ultimately comes down to what unit you need.

If you need a mitigator, be it in 3rd arc or against the bosses in the vortex, questlines, or grand quests, pick Krantz.

Otherwise, pick Regil.

I hope this helped! :D
