....She has tank stats on a handgun with buff tiles that want her in the back. I'm not entirely sure why anyone thought this was a good idea.

Probably the easiest among the bamboo spear units to get. Not actually as good as the others, while having the same disadvantages. Her special equipment is basically a Camo Cloak but with +1 RoF. Shame bamboo rifles are pretty irrelevant since MICA said stop one shotting our bosses. Oh well.

Aka PzB39

Has the same useless skill as JS05, with nothing to save her from being just as useless. Bring 2* rifles if you're running out of good ones, they're still better than her.

With the new changes to RF skills she... uhm... managed to be even shittier, easily earning the "Worst RF in the game" award with how her shot literally does less than a normal shot at base power (at skill lvl10!) and also having an aiming time of slower than her natural RoF.

Yes, Pekola, as opposed to a certain dumb rabbit. The eternally-starving once-most-powerful angel. She actually won't attack at all until you meet her conditions of getting enough buffs. Thankfully, stuff like Python's FP buff stacks count as individual buffs. More hilariously, the fairy talent Fervor also counts as three buffs. This makes satisfying the conditions for her skill actually pretty easy.

What you get for doing so is a ridiculous RF that completely ignores enemy armor and shields. A major downside to this though is she wont deal as much damage as another RF if you don't need such capabilities, since she isn't affected by very many damage buffs due to how she works.

This should be obvious, but you should pick up her unique gear if you plan on using her.

4* version of JS 9 with slightly different stat spread (worse eva, basically) and awkward tiles. Can be used similarly to her, if you don't mind kiting her more to make up for the goofy positioning.

Her biggest advantage is that you will be farming 12-4E enough to get sufficient copies of her to x5 link her for free, but by the time you can reach 12-4E you should have better SMGs.

So overall… meh. Does the job, but so will others.

Imoko's much less loved daughter, because at some point she apparently adopted a Kongou class Battlecruiser. Unlike G36 who gets more costumes than any 2 dolls combined, QBU has had all of... 1.

Performancewise, she joined the weird rifle pile by being another theoretically good on paper weapon that has issues in practical field use. Basically, every few times she fires at an enemy, she causes an explosion with a 1.5 unit radius, and when she pops her active, she hits for less than a normal small bamboo's worth of damage and then causes an explosion on top.

The bamboo skill adjustment was a boon for her, since EN will never have to deal with her dumb 8s original cooldown and can now fire it off at 4s, making her usable as an anti-medium-scale unit, kinda handy vs paradeus, but otherwise not exceptional.

Was actually handy in Shattered Connexion, but kind of questionable before then. YMMV.

Kishiyo face, and a silly source of drama, because he had a bitchfest over her VA not being someone super famous. As of GFL2, this continues to be true! She caused even more drama!

As a T-Doll? She's...not really that good anymore.

Civilian version of a gun even the Chinese Army realized was a bad idea. Used to have a niche use for battles that needed fast skills due to her low initial cooldown, excellent uptime, and unique equip, putting her in a good spot as a second-string AR. Unfortunately, there are now lots of good ARs, and the existence of chips has improved a lot of other ARs while she got left behind.

Another 90 gems entry. Her most notable trait is "looks kinda like Python in a Qi Pao."

She's not completely awful, but her performance isn't amazing enough to really recommend raising her compared to the glut of other ARs we already have, and that's a really competitive market. She's also harder to get than FNC.

Another of Imoko's daughters, and somewhat more spoiled than the other Chinese Rifle. As far as dealing with high-threat enemies goes, she is the last word. She does AoE damage as she attacks the same enemy, can silence enemies to stop skills, and is usable in general AR formations. At full tilt vs the right formations (clusters of high threat enemies with echelons), her effective DPS outclasses any other normal AR (outstripping powerhouses like G11 and AN94 due to her AoE power). As an odd quirk, the silence doesn't just affect her targets, but all enemies on the field. She does have weaknesses (small, loose formations of tough enemies being the most obvious, so don't send her to fight tanks or gundams), but she's useful in enough situations to be worth having.

Also, because I know people are going to ask, just check the index entries for what counts as high threat for her skill. If it says "High Threat", it counts. And if you're wondering how she does targeting with multiple different high-threat targets, there's a table describing threat level each enemy has. No, I don't have it on hand. She goes from the highest threat level enemy (lol) to lowest threat level enemy that is still classified as "High Threat".

The damage from her skill isn't horrible, but let's be frank, 99% of you won't have reason to use her, and she's more of a meme than a real combatant.

See G41's entry. Nothing new is brought to the table. Also I emphasize "looks" because her skin is kinda also slutty.

Like the real rifle, more dangerous to its own operator than the enemy.

A passable shotgun with an actual move speed, so she can actually move around for kiting and mechanics. If you need a shotgun to move a lot, she's basically your only real choice. If your shotgun doesn't need to move, she's OK I guess?

Also she works with Colt Defender, because Colt Defender shoots all her ammo at once.

The first 6 star SMG, and oh boy, she deserves it. As long as the damage isn't so overwhelming that it can kill her dummies outright, she has a chance to negate the damage. The chances increase if the enemy has more debuffs or has Marks of Vengeance on them, which immediately makes her a good pair with M4. Also the Sop doll is cute and comes with weird features. This is literally Sop's fault.
