Verdict

Though Shirou is quite useful and beneficial in the game, his abilities aren't of much use in the Factory challenge.

Considering the melee and fistfights in the Factory challenge, Shirou's ability is not much of practical use. Chrono's abilities are far more suited than that of Shirou's.

Chrono can use his defensive abilities and movement speed to take the upper hand over enemies in the Factory challenge.

(Note: As the Factory challenge is a custom room mode, the weapon choice solely depends on the individual player. The fights are usually 1v1, and the popular weapons are melee and fists. This article compares the two characters based on these criteria).
