AS Val Mod

AS Val Mod
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Proof that a good mod can save anything

The Night Royalty have been dethroned, and As Val Mod is the people's commissar of night battles. She's the new top night AR, dethroning Groza. So long as you keep the FP buffs rolling, she cant miss. This counts herself, fairies, and HG buffs; she will proc from most sources. Extremely good compatibility with Python and Nagant revolver, who provide basically constant FP buffs. For some setups (any that let her get a fairly steady stream of FP buffs), she can get basically constant uptime. This means like AR-15, she can run crit scopes at night, which adds even more to her damage.

Also like AR-15, she's a jerk whose last point of damage comes at lvl120, so you'll want to max her out. her special equipment being just a better HV round with no downside is merely icing on the People's Cake.

By the way, her skill works during the day too.

Her original page can be found here.

SIG-556

SIG-556
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Tried a new thing, turned out to not really be any better than the old things

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.

ACR

ACR
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Looks good, doesn't quite live up to it. Not awful at least.

She introduces herself as Bushmaster ACR, except she fires in full auto, meaning she's actually a Remington ACR. This is kind of annoying. They should have just let her use her original name of Magpul Masada, seriously. It sounds cooler.

That aside, she has the potential to be stronger than AR-15! ...If you don't mind crippling the rest of your echelon's DPS to do so (Dusk has math figures in the expanded section).

She's honestly not bad, with 65% DPS up baseline and can get free damage stuff in if you have debuff effects already going, but she's not critical or anything. Basically suffers from "there's lots of super good ARs and she's not super good enough to displace the ones you already have."

AK-Alfa

AK-Alfa
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Acceptable if you still need more ARs for bog knows why

She has a very weird and complicated set of skill interactions for a role that really just wants good, consistent dakka. Has a funny combo skill with M82 (the bullpup AR, not the RF). In terms of performance she's actually not awful, but she doesn't stand out, and there are enough good ARs to use other than her.

AK-15

AK-15
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Do you feel lucky? (RNG-based DPS)

Meet Milo, Miley's (AK-12) tomboy sister, who has literally no chill (you'll see why as soon as you meet her in story).

She is literally the most RNG-based DEFY member, with a chance to deal extra damage. If you'e lucky, she does good damage from the get-go. If you're super lucky, she keeps activating it while her active is going and you annihilate everything.

Because of how her active works, she's not as good at dealing with trash mobs, which can literally cut down her DPS. Be careful when using her, basically. She's REALLY RNG-dependent though.

Also, Abs. Did I mention abs? Yeah. Abs.

Assault Rifle ★★★★★ G41, but looks less like a slut

See G41's entry. Nothing new is brought to the table. Also I emphasize "looks" because her skin is kinda also slutty.

Howa Type89

Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Tries very hard to cater to the Japanese market. Actually isn't bad.

Ok, so she isn't actually bad. She does, however, have a stupidly long skill like a JK cramming for an entrance exam, most of which is largely irrelevant because all you care about is her damage output.

Which I guess is kind of alright.

Her skill has a good initial cooldown, and she's actually better than most ARs, but she won't usurp the position of the top ARs. A good pick for your B-team.

TKB408

TKB408
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Night-Focused AR

Can she dethrone AS Val's ridiculously solidified position as a top-tier damage dealer? ...Not really. She suffers from wanting some base crit rate, but making use of her crit rate requires either targets with shit evasion to begin with, a ridiculously high hit rate modifier somehow, or some other means of hitting targets at night. She might have some uses, but she's harder to use than AS Val, and you don't get much in exchange for it.

Steyr ACR

Steyr ACR
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Overly finnicky to use

The Steyr ACR is the gun the Pallet Rifles in EVA are based off of, and this one is about as useful. On one hand, it seems like she'd be good for para fairy and its debuffs (you get +25% final damage with that), except it isn't enough to make up for the debuffs still. It's also not very easy to get debuffed. Evaluation may change based on future enemies, but really it's not worth it when you have so many good ARs to choose from.

VHS

VHS
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Quirky, but has funny potential

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.

SIG MCX

SIG MCX
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Hark, an interesting AR for once

Status warfare doesn't come up too much in GFL too much given bosses are routinely immune to it and elites get shortened status effect durations, but if you actually need status effects from an AR, the stun is surprisingly far-reaching behind the initial target, and she prioritizes enemies suffering from debuffs.

SCR

Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Pretty mid

(Not a Xecty review, take with grain of salt)

The most notable thing about her is the fact that she has perfect accuracy during her battle rifle mode. This could be pretty useful if not for the fact that generally that’s not really needed, and AS Val mod would outperform her at night. Day battles currently don’t have anything that needs perfect accuracy outside of specific enemies which are better fought with rifles (striders). While you can use her in conjunction with AS Val if you were to use her at night, her performance is very middling. From some observations, ST AR-15 can outdo her in simple DPS tests.

One of the major contributors to that is the requirements to effectively use her skill. Supplying a large variety of buffs can just be very awkward to do. To add to that, she stops firing entirely to swap to her battle rifle ammo, which kills some of her DPS uptime.

A-545

A-545
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Decent but not a must raise

(Not a xecty review, take with a grain of salt)

She allows you to completely forego crit scopes in shorter fights with her skill. This can be particularly useful at night since you’re now able to crit consistently despite having a PEQ. With her passive 20% boost to crit damage, even in a chip-filled world, she provides a damage increase for the entire echelon. The "target elite enemy" part of her skill isn’t of too much consequence as only A-545 herself will target the elite enemy. Her DPS alone wouldn’t do much to the majority of elite enemies. Do note that her accuracy takes a sharp drop after skill usage, and after two uses she’ll be sitting around the accuracy of an MG, which may or may not impact your damage.

Assault Rifle ★★★★★ She has a dog. This is all I remember about her.

Performance-wise, she's not impressive, but isn't the worst. Honestly, I mostly only remember "she exists and has a dog."

Also the dog for some reason inherits their night accuracy debuff so she still needs the laser pointer to tell her dog where to bite or something, or else it'll miss a lot at night. I don't fuckin' know.

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".
