In an offensive deck you want high proc rate and speedy kills. Both of these things Super Soldier is on par with or better than Drum Major. So in my opinion no go on an offensive deck.

Defense however an argument could be made that Drum Major would be much better off. Turn skip slows enemies down in AUB (not much but it does) and ATK all is icing on the cake. Because your cards are GUR (assuming you awaken all of your Drum Major) it naturally makes them harder to bring down with their increased stats and awakening burst possibilities.

So if you're comparing directly Super Soldier to Drum Major in a defense deck - Drum Major is probably the better option if you're trying to stall an enemy; which is completely viable in high level AUB.

On Defense I would possibly go 2 Redeye 2 Drum Major 1 Chocolatier (All GUR). Drum Major still suffers from 20% proc rate, so you need the GUR Redeye to help boost her ability to proc. 2 Chocolatier on defense is kinda overkill since you want to be able to kill an enemy on the 2nd turn (which is after their initial attack turn) and really she's just there to give you a shot at turn 4 if you're aiming for battles to last that long.

Now what I'm about to talk about is theory crafting.

The recent AUB had me thinking if Chocolatier on Defense is really worth it or not. The more me and my alliance talked about it; the more we realized how important it is to kill an enemy (or stall them) on turn 2 (which is your defense deck's first turn). Chocolatier doesn't do anything for you on the initial enemy's attack turn (remember no skills activate on this turn for the defense deck) so it's possibly better off filling the position she takes with something else like a Redeye or a GUR Santa Oracle for turn 2.

The ultimate troll deck would be 5 GUR Chocolatier on a defense deck since it means the enemy has no option but to either kill you on turn 1 or individually poke each card every turn (which allows all the cards to have a chance to awaken burst every turn that happens). Outside of that deck composition though... what does she (Chocolatier) really accomplish other than giving your defense deck a slight chance to get to turn 4? By that time you're probably already pretty damaged if not down 2 cards or more. In this scenario an all or nothing GUR Santa Oracle or GUR Drum Major might really pull through and clutch the win for your defense team.

Food for thought perhaps.
