ICD: CD:

512 is a 4 star SG being released in the same batch as LTLX, which means she already came out outdated. Sporting a pitiful Armor stat, she tries to make herself relevant by being the first support SG by having her passive Skill and active Skill affect other SGs, as well as her tiles. Unfortunately, 2 SGs scenarios are rare and far between, and there’s little reason to buff SGs when RFs or MGs could have buffs instead.
10% Armor is nothing to scoff at, and she’s able to provide it either in position 2 or in position 8. 10% Damage for MGs is also welcome.
She provides a Skill Cooldown reduction when she's reloading, for herself and her SG partners. A shorter Skill cooldown means the other SG can activate sooner. However, it not only has a restriction that both SGs must be on the same column (which means neither of them can be kited) but also is not enough to justify fielding another her when other SGs, like M500 Mod and LTLX, which have better stats and kits, can be fielded instead.
She has a pitiful Armor stat of only 20, lower than even most 3 star SGs’ Armor.
The active portion of her Skill is similar to KSG’s, in that she buffs Evasion and Armor. However, while she buffs those stats for herself and other SGs, she only gives a buff of 6 seconds.
2 SGs are a niche option that rarely sees the light of the day. Being specialized in providing support to other SGs means that 512 will never be a good option for 1 SG teams, while she will rarely see action due to only a few types of enemies requiring 2 SGs (such as Judge and Pyxis).
While this is rarely noted, it is worth noting for 512: she has a Magazine size of only 3. As the Reload formula is 1.5s + 0.5 *Mag Size that she’ll spend almost double the time reloading than compared to other SGs, like KSG, who has a Magazine Size of 5.
