She has a stupidly big HP pool, but otherwise her stats are more 2½ star than 3 star. Combine that with a decidedly average smoke grenade and terrible tiles, and you end up with a doll more bland than Foster's. Can be made work if you really want to (give her plenty of evasive buffs), but you're almost guaranteed to be better off with UMP45 if you want smokes.

If for some reason you absolutely must have a 2 star Molotov. You get Skorpion for free really early so she doesn't see much use (though she does slightly outdamage skorpion). Has not great dodge and okay HP. She does however come with an adorable as hell Children's day skin so I wont entirely fault you for wanting to bring it.

Ablative armor and a grenade. Has a lot of HP for her rarity with a not so terrible evade, though YMMV between her and M38. Her main virtue is that she's the first 3 star you get from the story and they give you a pile of her so it's easy to stock up bodies. Only useful for logistics and cores once you have real tanks. If you happen across free PPS-43s, they're somewhat better.

Has a mod, but it's not great either.

She's not sure if she wants to be offensive or defensive, and kinda sucks at both. Her only real purpose for existing is "the story is kinda cute."

Base version isn't great either.

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

aka G17 ingame; Used to be decent when you actually needed evasion buffs, but who needs that in current year?

Some may claim her skill is useful (It pretends to be), except it applies after the penalty (and really, its' multiplication and isn't on the same modifier so its autoshit either way), so 100% - 90% = 10% x 2 = 20%! Congratulations, you've wasted 600 basic data, 1020 intermediate data, and 500 advanced data for less benefit than a 2* PEQ.

Has a mod, but doesn't get much better.

....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.

With the changes to flare skill she's actually usable with MGs at night. Flares work like PEQs now, which actually allows MGs to function at night. With MICA being the way they are, this could prove pretty helpful if they ever decided to release new content.

Actually has more DPS than G3. Still not great.

Choco tabemase? You get her for free and she performs OK. Has a long history of suffering in the game and may suffer from PTSD. Damage bonuses are nice, and she's just strong enough to take down a Jupiter cannon by herself, provided you have some cannon fodder between her and the Jupiter (which is mostly why she has PTSD).

She used to perform really well, and she does perform OK for cost to raise, but a 5-star and 3-star AR cost the same to actually use, and the newer ARs are much, much shinier. She's still OK but don't get too attached, you'll have better soon enough. Maybe she'll get a mod someday.

AKA StG44

Before: The source of the name Assault Rifle

Now: A source of cores

Mod isn't worth it either, but has its own entry.

If it's not clear by now, AR team is pretty good. has the weakest grenade of the 3 major grenadier ARs (FAL/416/Herself), except she's the best actual AR and will outDPS FAL and 416 in direct fire due to good stats and having the same accessory/stat layout as AR15. Less desirable now that G11 and such are out, but still definitely not terrible as far as grenadiers go. Will not perform to the level of a proper direct fire AR though.

Problem is, grenadiers aren't terribly useful currently outside of some gigabrain ranking echelons. I say that because I'm covering my bases here. Never count grenades out.

You can find her mod here

Kind of fetishized and sort of jailbait, but she's still a very solid option if you have her special equipment. Outside of that, she's pretty mid. She used to be the standard ARs were judged by, but now she's pretty irrelevant.

Similar to G41 in performance (actually slightly worse, but not significantly) and the artist just drawing their weird fetishes that land you in jail. She's basically a 5 star equivalent of Tavor sharing the primary weakness of taking 6s to startup instead of 4. The skill is good while active, but YMMV.

Honestly, the issue with any AR outside of the big mod ones, is that they just get gapped so hard unless they have a niche. ART556 does not. So you could use her, but....eh...?
