A high class SMG that you get for free (and even better, starts at lvl90 with 5 links when you get her now) providing well balanced stats, and a very powerful tanking skill. -Enemy ATK power (nevermind her own +evade!) that goes off in the first 3 seconds, makes tanking the initial contact much easier, and is usable even from an off-tank position.

Can easily be a main or off-tank, while she combos well with UMP45 defensively, lol in current year you don't even need UMP45 anymore (isn't it sad?). Her main weakness is she has very bad uptime (5/12) compared to some other SMGs, but the quick startup and utility (and the fact most fights are short anyway) make up for it.

Did I mention you get her at lvl90 and 5x linked? That's REALLY helpful if you're starting out. And did I mention she has an insanely broken mod? DEFINITELY pick her up.

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

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.
