Is that as strong as the warrior and crux pearl?

The warrior is a great piece
if you are looking for strong, look at the Paradox, its a very good asymmetric piece although it rolls more like a symmetric IMO
all depends on what you are looking for, what pattern (house or sport)

If staying within Storm/Roto Grip, the Hyper Cell Skid is probably the best choice.  It's a versatile ball that uses a proven core and offers a predictable motion downlane. 

If looking within EBI, I would strongly recommend the Paradox.  I've been very impressed with that ball.  The combination of the unique motion it offers combined with the proven core and hybrid cover allows it to be versatile and handle a wide range of heavier and longer patterns. Dave81644 is correct in that it rolls more like a symmetric would.  But, that is a good thing with this ball as I have yet to see the ball die out in back as can happen with high end asymmetricals in a lot of cases.

i have mine at 2000 dull with some lane shine
i tried it on a 34' higher volume short pattern and to my surprise, it didn't roll out downlane
At lease not until about the ned of game 1, then i needed to go straighter
switched to GB2 then finally arson low flare
I also like that the Paradox has a very tuneable cover, easily the best piece out of Track in some time
