Has a bright side, unlike her real life counterpart which managed to kill a gun company. Initially pretty meh, though her bonuses are useful to MG/SG comps because the downsides don't matter to them very much depending on how it's set up.

She does have a strong combo with PPQ now. You set PPQ as leader, zip.22 will initially debuff the enemies, then PPQ will continue the debuffs, making RO mod functionally immortal.

She can reduce enemy eva at night, which helps for some specific weird shit, but it isn't likely to come up.

Yes yes, she can finally help tank. Yes her unique gear gives her armor. But let's get this out of the way early, Welrod IS STILL NOT A TANK AND SHE IS STILL PRETTY SQUISHY. The actual tank is her damned umbrella shield, which works similarly to Agent Vector's shield, only better, and is an immensely powerful tanking tool that can, at max, ignore low end damage (24 or below is basically meaningless) and will take at least 15 shots while it's active.

The doll herself is still squishy as fuck when exposed to enemy fire though.

Also her tiles change completely when modded so take note of that.

MANNERS MAKETH MAN. Very good aura for DPS, and very widely used. As a bonus, she has a very good skill for tanking, and can actually be used as a tank for bamboo spear formations or helping other tanks. She has 40% base crit unlike other handguns (a trait shared with other single-shot pistols like Contender and Thunder .50.) so a suppressor is actually pretty beneficial on her, not that you have other much choice in the matter. But yes, you will be finding use for her. Note that her -acc skill does stack MULTIPLICATIVELY with other acc debuffers.

Her mod keeps her relevant well into higher difficulty content. See info on that here

At some point, G&K started running out of real guns and broke out more of the early 20th century guns.

Surprisingly, the dolls with them are actually not godawful.

If she's the leader, she gives a general buff, but whatever, most HGs do that. What makes her interesting is that if she's NOT the squad lead, she buffs the hell out of them, thus making her useful in any formation where you want to pack as much as possible into one doll's ability. Lookin' at you, M4, IWS. (And a few others)

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.

I really want to say something good but the closest thing to a real merit that I can think of is "voiced by Ayako Kawasumi." She's basically a 3 star inferior version of P7 with an... "interesting" shape buff and less used than the cat nun. You are likely to be flooded with cat nuns in your eventual quest for Stetchkin. Also, sends you to jail.

One of the more maligned, design-wise, of the Infukun rangers. As a character, she's OK I guess. As a design, she's not as good as the rest of the stuff Infukun made before he left Mica (G11 is peak Infukun). As a unit... she's actually kinda crazy, with a buff for every occasion that makes her one of the best and most flexible T-dolls in the game. Shields for the front, Damage for the back, Acc and Eva for the middle row in case you need that. If you could only get one doll from Isomer from farming, farm this one. Seriously.

If she offends your senses that much, stick a paper bag on her head.

AKA Beretta 92FS. Stun Grenade Option in HG, low priority but still good to have an option of stun grenade. Not actually important to keep since lolsupercommon, but sometimes, you just need a handgun and a stun grenade and only have 1 free spot open. Her exclusive doesn't change this, she's still in the same utility spot.

Also sends you to jail.

Modded version of M1911

A really expensive trash cleaner.

Basically when she pops smoke, she then goes Alvin York and blasts away 7 times for extra damage, hitting the farthest enemy and working her way closer to the front with every shot. If there are no closer enemies, she just keeps shooting that one until someone else has gotten closer (either because its dead and thus a new thing is closer, or something ran ahead of it).

Note that while the skill has an ICD of 1 second, she doesn't actually start blasting away until 3 seconds in due to the throw animation.

MURRICA. Usable but not as good as Nagant. Has a smoke bomb (unique among handguns) but the %s arent as high due to 2 star.

Her mod has a completely separate entry.

Chinese Makarov clone. Similar job to SPP-1, but less boosting your side's acc and more on lowering the enemy's evade. With fairies now existing she's kinda useless.

Has a kind of an unfocused buffs that... kinda sorta benefit things? She doesn't greatly benefit any lineups, really, and you can get more usable 2 star handguns honestly. Can maybe replace the cat nun in the meme Welrod/Makarov/P7 lineup, but people don't actually use that formation seriously for the most part. Really better off as cores.

Maybe one day she'll have a cool mod.

More famous for suicide memes and her ship with Calico than actually being used. I really want to like her, but she has a few glaring flaws that drag her down more than all her emotional baggage already does.

Her skill, while packing way more multiplier than any other skillshot (12x!) AND also boasting an impressive 46 Firepower on a handgun, suffers from being able to miss (uses standard acc formula). Now, 57 hit is enough for most applications most of the time and she can equip PEQs at night to deal with that, and she reloads extra fast if she misses, but it's simply not as good as many other skillshots that have ZERO chance to miss to begin with. It does at least, come online very fast at 4 seconds.

Next, while the tilebuff itself is impressive, the shape is... not suited for most applications, pretty much forcing her to be in the 5 position to get much real use out of it unless you're buffing something at 4. Having her in that position wouldn't be so bad if she didn't ALSO have the worst Eva stat of any HG, so know what you're getting into.

She isn't the worst HG in the game, but there's so many better choices for most roles that you would put her in that most simply don't have a real reason to resort to using her.

She has some of the highest damage and crit buffs in the game, with the best possible tiles ("All around her"), and her skill allows her to override the targeting logic of most other dolls¹, making them focus their fire some, very unlucky fucker (boss if present, otherwise furthest/highest HP/nearest enemy, depending on whether Contender is back/middle/front row). Oh and the skill doesn't wait until impact - the bonuses kicks in as soon as the shot leaves the muzzle. She also can equip AP ammo, which doesn't come up much, but there's a few fights later where this is immensely valuable and if you're using a HG vs armour at night, well... you know. Did I mention she has 40% base crit? She does.
