QBZ-191

QBZ-191
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Mass Anti-High Threat Specialist

Another of Imoko's daughters, and somewhat more spoiled than the other Chinese Rifle. As far as dealing with high-threat enemies goes, she is the last word. She does AoE damage as she attacks the same enemy, can silence enemies to stop skills, and is usable in general AR formations. At full tilt vs the right formations (clusters of high threat enemies with echelons), her effective DPS outclasses any other normal AR (outstripping powerhouses like G11 and AN94 due to her AoE power). As an odd quirk, the silence doesn't just affect her targets, but all enemies on the field. She does have weaknesses (small, loose formations of tough enemies being the most obvious, so don't send her to fight tanks or gundams), but she's useful in enough situations to be worth having.

Also, because I know people are going to ask, just check the index entries for what counts as high threat for her skill. If it says "High Threat", it counts. And if you're wondering how she does targeting with multiple different high-threat targets, there's a table describing threat level each enemy has. No, I don't have it on hand. She goes from the highest threat level enemy (lol) to lowest threat level enemy that is still classified as "High Threat".

XM-8 Mod

XM-8 Mod
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Support Grenadier

She still doesn't compete with SOP or 416, but her ability to debuff enemies AND remove their buffs gives her value. Not a grenadier you'll use often, but she definitely has her uses now that Mica team are throwing bullshit enemies at people during events regularly.

XM3 Mod

XM3 Mod
Rifle ★★★★★ Night Battle Trash Clear

Very good DPS and performance against trash enemies at night. You might think it doesn't come up much, but Mica has a bad habit of throwing night battles at you out of the blue (like the caving thing for a summer event has SUDDENLY COUNTS AS NIGHT if you go deep enough). It's very helpful to own one because her night battle performance IS very good right now. Her performance during the day still sucks though.

Chiappa Rhino

Chiappa Rhino
Handgun ★★★★★ Another BS DPS Handgun

In the same vein as Deagle and Python, a ridiculously strong DPS handgun. She has a weird skill that does checks based on time after the shot so with enough attack speed, you can actually get 2 shots off of a given cylinder state.

Stirling

Stirling
Submachine Gun ★★★★★ Sorta okay. Good as a buff stat stick

As far as grenade damage goes, she's pretty awful, falling behind even Papasha Mod for raw damage. However, she supports other grenadiers and she has +30% FP as a formation buff. YMMV.

NTW-20 Mod

NTW-20 Mod
Rifle ★★★★★★ Very Weird Removal Specialist

The very first 6 star on EN! And she's... buggy as fuck actually and with more weird shit going on than the UNS secret weapons programs. For example the way she misses her first firing cycle is a patchwork for a different bug and basically it's awkward to use her for a lot of meme things.

Boasting really high FP and multipliers though (especially with her unique equipment and ability to hit 200 affection if oathed), she got converted from a straight boss killer to a very weird assassin that removes certain enemies from the field. Her second skill makes her preferentially target units she can destroy, which makes her actually pretty handy for quick removal. Moreover, if she DOES actually kill it, she gets buffs for the next shot which... unfortunately can miss, which makes her less useful at night for this.

She's not particularly useful right now, but if you have specific needs for that sort of thing, she can work. She is however, a very expensive investment, so make sure it's what you actually want.

Calico M950A Mod

Calico M950A Mod
Handgun ★★★★★★ Manages to somehow be even better than the original

One important thing with her mod is that she has a backwards facing tile now. This means fun times for Python fans, Nagant users, or users of any doll who prefers to be in the middle of the back row and could benefit from an attack speed buff, which happens a lot of the time. She also debuffs the enemy if the node you're fighting on is controlled by you, and buffs your attack and move speed if it isn't, but those are kind of icing on the cake for an already useful doll.

Oh, and the move speed buff is hilarious when combined with other move speed buffs, turning Hanyang Mod into a a rocket. This makes some boss fights hilariously easy as you give no fucks about their mechanics, and 60s is long enough for most battles.

You can probably leave her at Mod2, but her Mod3 equip is a suppressor equivalent with +20 evade at max. It's up to you whether that's worth it or not.

Heckler & Koch HK416 Mod

Heckler & Koch HK416 Mod
Assault Rifle ★★★★★★ She's still insufferable but she's actually good now

It's a shame she has voice lines now, since the best part about her mod was shutting up her annoying voice. But alas, you'll probably be hearing it, because unlike her basically not-worth-the-effort base form, this one is actually decent. The big change is the six second ICD, which lets her fire grenades within the lifetime of many fights in a meaningful way, unlike most other grenadiers.

This ironically makes her useless for Chapter 11 farming, but thankfully she's good for Chapter 12 farming.

The grenade itself is buffed somewhat, and the ICD also makes her a bit more stable than SOP for some fights (SOP retains the problem of "You need the enemy to still be worth hitting with grenades 8 seconds in"). Overall, decent grenadier that you'll likely use a fair bit for farming and events, helped by 416 playing a big role in a lot of event maps and thus getting stat buffed.

Oh, and get her equip when you can. it isn't stellar, but it beats the hell out of a frame that doesn't contribute to DPS.

i can't believe her fucking name is clukay

Her previous iteration can be found at this page

G11 Mod

G11 Mod
Assault Rifle ★★★★★★ Red Bull gives you buffs.

Finally adjusted so she can stop being perpetually narcoleptic (sort of) through the power of energy drinks. She was already a decent AR whose weakness was that she couldn't hurt armor. Well, they solved the armor problem by doing percentage-based damage. Her damage is still affected by armor, but often she'll just do enough damage that you won't care anyway and can contribute to the fight regardless. She still has the issue of the poor uptime due to her long skill cooldown, but you should be smart enough to deal with that.

RO635 Mod

RO635 Mod
Submachine Gun ★★★★★★ Cant touch this Cue Music

The first 6 star SMG, and oh boy, she deserves it. As long as the damage isn't so overwhelming that it can kill her dummies outright, she has a chance to negate the damage. The chances increase if the enemy has more debuffs or has Marks of Vengeance on them, which immediately makes her a good pair with M4. Also the Sop doll is cute and comes with weird features. This is literally Sop's fault.

Welrod MkII Mod

Welrod MkII Mod
Handgun ★★★★★★ Helps tank, but not by herself

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.

MG4 Mod

MG4 Mod
Machine Gun ★★★★★★ Useful for Ranking at Mod3, Meh at 1 and 2

With a lot of the enemies MICA loves to toss at us now, MG4 mod has seen a lot more use as of late. She does, however, take a ton of investment (all her equipment, mod 3, etc) to get her to that point. Is it worth it? Probably. She's still an MG though, so she's not going to be pulled out as much as a good AR or RF.

Her ability to reduce enemy Firepower ONLY comes when equipped with SLAP rounds, which she only gets at Mod 3. Before then, meh. A major thing is that the damage reduction is at the very end of the enemy's damage calculation (because reasons) instead of the beginning, so it has more of an effect on low FP enemies than high FP ones.

Note that the bounce effect is buggy as hell, especially when the enemy dies.

AN94 mod

AN94 mod
Assault Rifle ★★★★★★ Surprisingly not a priority

Myeeeep. Sad to say it, her Mod doesn't buff her much. It improves her skill cycling and gives her stat boosts and all that, but her performance is not significantly improved. Her new skills are all about AK-12, who actually does get buffed pretty hard back into relevance, but not enough so that you'd pick her preferentially. Still a nice boost though I guess. Will probably fuck when AK-12 Mod inevitably comes out.

AK-15 Mod

AK-15 Mod
Assault Rifle ★★★★★★ Brokenly Good DPS and tanking ability

If there's only one Mod you do for this event, get her. Her upgrade is quite comprehensive and turns her from finnicky and awful to legitimately one of the strongest ARs in the game. Also, she has a secondary tank mode that in 99% of cases, wont come up, but is actually ridiculously strong if it does (of course, it comes up for some things like Theater). Note that M4 and STAR don't count as DEFY anymore.

Still gets outshined by clever little tricks in the story though, because she's still dumb like a gorilla.

Noel

Noel
Handgun Special Trophy Raifu

Imagine how bad Noel was at her lowest point in her own series. ...Now imagine its worse.

Somehow arguably less useful than P7 who has similar tiles, and her skill is kind of awful. She's a perfect storm of not being particularly good at any 1 thing while also not being really acceptable at any of them. Also she jumps forward during her skill.

This can have unexpectedly bad effects on enemy positioning sometimes, including units... uh.. simply walking past her, to the map edge, which makes you lose. There are arguably some scenarios where she's useful, but those are... niche to the extreme and honestly if you're one of the people who CAN pull those off, you dont need me to explain anything to you.
