SUB2000 |
Submachine Gun | ★★★ | Meme login doll | Her skill is kinda neat, but ultimately, you're not going to get much mileage out of making 2~3* dolls better. Cool tiles though, I guess. |
Supernova |
Shotgun | ★★★★ | Good to have | Supernova is a shotgun pretending to be a handgun to go along with her shipmate GSh-18. She’s one of the most supportive shotguns available and she enables some real dumb stuff. You want to use MGs at night? Well, her skill allows for that. Do you need a little more defensive capability for your shotguns? She brings that too, all in a kancolle-flavoured package. Honestly, she’s not an automatic pick on every team. You’re likely going to have to drop a MG in your formation to make use of her fully, which can be an issue. Her two main draws are her movement speed and her MG buffs. Her roller skates allow her to go almost as fast as a handgun, but not quite. Not much else to say about that, but main reason to take her is the MG buffs she provides. While crit rate is nice, the accuracy buff she provides to MGs is fixed. This means that MGs are entirely usable at night. It bypasses the accuracy penalty that you would normally have with no PEQ. While not the most relevant thing currently, you definitely want to have Supernova in your back pocket for the future. |
Carcano Modello 1891 |
Rifle | ★★★★★ | Niche uses | Aka M1891/Strawberrycano. The rifle you'd expect from the nation that fought 12 battles on the same spot in a row only to lose them all, and then went on to lose mountaineers to frostbite two years in a row in summer. Just look at that smug grin. "Tehee, guess we lost to Ethiopians again!" …ingame, she has a weird skill that buffs dolls in her column slightly, which will later feature in a few specialized formations that include Python and is sometimes used to buff M82, Kar98k, or her sister, to the point she's been called "Python's Exclusive Equipment" and "Grape's Exclusive Equipment." There's a couple of other niche uses as well (M200), but mostly, she looks like she needs to be supervised outdoors. |
De Lisle |
Rifle | ★★★★★ | Assistant Gunner type | Falls into the same niche as Strawberrycano where she sucks on her own, but is excellent for supporting others who are actually good. Often paired with the Cano sisters or M200 in 3RF-type setups. A Grape/M200/Nagant Revolver/DeLisle/tank-of-some-sort-type echelon was used in ranking map reruns to kill death stacks. |
Claes |
Machine Gun | Special | Extremely accurate to the anime and manga (which is not a good thing) | Props for accuracy. She spends the animoo's story just living in the dorms and only coming out for tests or really weird situations where they cant spare bodies, and she's basically the same in the game - she'll be in your dorms a whole lot. She also has three unique items that affect her passive but otherwise all do the exact same thing. She isn't completely useless, but there's not much reason to pick her over other MGs that don't have finnicky mechanics, because you frankly will not need that many MGs anymore. |
Walther PPK |
Handgun | ★★ | Usable | Generally decent buffs esp. at night, and she can be an evasion glass tank (100 evade!) in a pinch. Not bad if you actually kite your pistols but be wary of her limited HP. Honestly, you want a real tank in front still. With her mod, her usefulness continues due to the fairly good buffs she provides. Her unique expedition equip is decent (even more evasion), but the real draw for it is when you can use it with her other unique equips for the set bonus. |
Serdyukov SPS |
Handgun | ★★★ | Usable | 3* equivalent of Colt SAA. Useful if you're short on REAL AMERICAN GUNS, but given that SAA is easier to get, probably more a trophy raifu. |
Norinco QSZ-92 |
Handgun | ★★★ | Niche uses | AKA Type-92. High coverage (basically every tile around her) and has a really high evade buff. I'm not sure what you'd use her for these days, but that's really the only thing she has going for her anymore, even if it's no longer used |
Colt Single Action Army |
Handgun | ★★★★ | Usable buffer | AKA SAA - THIS IS THE BEST GUN EV-cough Actually has very nice buffs and a decent skill. Not bad at all in night battles either with the acc up if you have crappy PEQs. Her mod makes her a stronger pick, and more info can be found on her mod article. |
Heckler & Koch YEET KANONE 45 |
Handgun | ★★★★ | Usable buffer | Formerly known as Mk23 SOCOM Highest damage buff among 4* handguns for awhile. Very good for Bamboo Spears too. KR calls her Champy because of weird meme reasons involving weird manhwa. |
Avtomaticheskiy Pistolet Stechkina |
Handgun | ★★★★ | Usable buff | Or Stechkin for short. Good RoF buff. Actually combos nicely with other RoF buffs if you need more since her aura shape isn't as weird as Calico's. Works well with IWS. Try to grab her unique equip, it helps. |
FN Herstal Five-seveN |
Handgun | ★★★★★ | Recommended | Decent Aura shape with very good benefits. 30% RoF/20% Crit is nothing to sneeze at, and even more from her skill. Used heavily in teams that benefit from RoF/Crit boosts (mostly general use Rifles). Be thankful EN got her with little effort. Also has a 97 dodge, if you need something to temporarily take the front. Also, the source of a lot of Korean memes because she was a total pain to get. Also wears a ferret costume sometimes. Also somehow still relevant in ((current year)) |
LAR Grizzly MkV |
Handgun | ★★★★★ | Decent buffer | Decent overall damage buffer with bonus evade for the tank. If you have her exclusive equipment, her buff is a bit more valuable. Nothing super standout though. |
Calico M950A |
Handgun | ★★★★★ | Recommended | Very good benefits for night battle albeit on a slightly odd shaped aura, but easily workable still. Paired with guns that need a lot of RoF boost like Lee-Enfield a lot. Also allows WA2k to max out her RoF immediately through just their 2 buffs + formation buff tiles. Though largely pointless for MGs, she enables one of the most stupidly high damage formations in the game, the M4 deathsquad. While not always relevant, a big jupiter cannon strapped onto a T-Doll can do good work. GREEN IS THE DANG— She now has a mod, which can be viewed here |
SPP-1 |
Handgun | ★★★★ | Niche uses | +90% Acc Buff aura at 5-links. Also has a +damage up but that's just icing on the weird, underwater-themed cake. With NV equipment, allows you to completely destroy scouts in night battles if you're actually desperate for that. Normally not a buff I recommend, but she actually gives a lot of it so if you're wanting an actual acc buffer, she'll be 1 of the ones you want. Not as important anymore since there will be other sources of acc boost, but... sometimes you might want something? |
