A high RoF Rifle with good stats. Probably the best one for general use. If you've noticed by now, high RoF rifles are kind of good. Actually caps RoF if paired with Calico, allowing you use other damage boosters instead. With the October 2018 patch, RoF cap is higher, and Calico alone is no longer enough.

Suffers from there being a more famous, better M82, also with pink hair.

This one is basically interchangeable with Tavor, who by now isn't nearly as useful because you should be drowning in high-end ARs. If you are not drowning in high-end ARs for some unfathomable reason, well, she isn't the worst thing ever.

Also has a combo skill with AK Alfa if you do the side story stuff, but AK Alfa isn't exactly wowing the charts either.

No, she's not a video tape. One of her skins shows her recent arrival in the US has apparently given her quite the dump truck ass. Must be all the McDonalds. Her skill powers her up with extra stats relative to the enemies she's fighting, meaning she has basically no real use vs. mooks. Potentially handy vs. bosses, but being a RoF-focused AR, she suffers from chips existing.

Does not go ping. Not to be confused with the M1 Garand.

She's a RoF rifle, but her stats are even worse than the only borderline useful G43's. Don't bother.

Basically M1 Garand hit by a Japanizing beam courtesy of the IJN (which is why she has a sailor uniform). ...And then it changed her skill to something actually vaguely useful.

Every 3rd shot she fires is a line AoE that doesnt miss, but sadly cant crit. This is actually pretty cool at night vs evasive enemies, like Uhlan formations in a post CT-environment (Uhlan formations start having evade), though actually a bit of a DPS loss on nonevasive enemies.

Not exactly a normal use rifle, but the niche she has comes up fairly often so having 1 on hand is useful.

"Are you THAT short on ARs or need cheap equipment that badly?"

You get much better ARs from story events, and there's only so much that you actually need. If you need a cheap AR and already have FNC though I guess she can be useful.

Her exclusive, while it does give her more strength, doesn't let her outperform many 4* ARs.

She's one of the dolls of all time. Yup.

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...?

Extra notes available.

She's a generic login AR. No one cares.

The pinkhaired tryhard who is absolutely every bit as good as she says she is. 1 of the best sustained DPS ARs in the game, and can actually hit the RoF cap on her own. She can actually outDPS OTs-14 and 9A91 at night against up to moderately armoured opponents (moderate. Dont try to send her vs Hydras)

As a bonus, her mod skill ups her DPS some more by making her pull out ANOTHER gun and throwing extra attacks that do a % of her main damage, with more damage if paired with M4Mod.

Her mod skill however, does look absolutely retarded unless you're in her mod 3 form. Normally she's supposed to pull out another gun, but since her school skin and base sprite dont have that animation, she instead fires from her scope.

AKA ST AR-15, aka Star-chan. High stats, two accessory slots, and Unique Ammo (that you need to farm for) that outperforms regular HV ammo and doesn't require forever to build up. While not considered as OP as she once was, she remains a good unit to raise; if you partially raise her, she basically hits close to RoF cap on her own.

Her mod (and her equipment set) brings her back up to a decent spot as an AR. You can see her mod here

Or SKS for short. Self-buffs RoF, but with too weak stats. Between G43 and M14 you have enough good low-rarity rifles to keep you supplied while you work on better ones.

Actually good for the same reason WA-2000 and M14 are. Sheer RoF with decent damage. The only 4 star rifle worth using by default who does not require you to jump through hoops to even matter.

Why does she have Shark teeth? Dammit Imoookoooo

Despite the teeth, she's somehow the nice HK girl. And somehow, she's the smart one. Look, HK is weird ok?

Anyway, she packs as much as 84% damage increase with her skill going at full power, but you're more likely to get a 76% boost in a typical RF/HG formation. Still, she's not bad. In practice she's slightly worse than R93 in most cases, but not usually enough to matter.

Note her buff tiles are funny and affect everything, so this makes her secondary ability a little easier to use. That said, she does NOT give HGs the usual cooldown boost most other RFs do.

Her skill does new and interesting things. The effect is... thoroughly average DPS for a 5 star AR.

The problem is that while her initial burst is quite good, the stun puts a massive damper on things. While you can turn off her skill (it's a toggle), unlike K2, the off state isn't interesting at all, being effectively dead time for her skill. However, if you need burst in the time her skill actually works, she can put out. Just be VERY aware of her self-stun and how it can impact you. Because of that, you're likely better off using almost any other t-doll that doesn't require babysitting like she does.

Also, I hope the picture makes you feel dirty, 'cause I felt dirty having to upload that here.
