[Revision Mode]: Gains +1 stack of Focus on every attack, automatically switches to "Full Marks Mode" upon reaching 18 Focus stacks.

[Full Marks Mode]: Shifts targeting to the enemy with the highest health. Consecutive attacks on the same enemy increases damage by ($fmm_value)% (Max of 3 stacks). Each attack in "Full Marks Mode" consumes 1 Focus stack, once all 18 stacks of Focus have been consumed, switches back to "Revision Mode".

Additionally, increases damage received by 30% and reduces own movement speed by 30%.
Doll review
Overview
Howa 89, hereafter Howa, is a rare addition to the DPS AR pool that manages to stand out from the stalwart titans atop the pile.
While her stats already stand out, with high Damage, moderate but acceptable Accuracy, and exceptional Rate of Fire already puts Howa in good company from the start. This is compounded by her Skill, which looks long, complicated, and ultimately, can be largely ignored.
The important part of her Skills is the first section, which can be activated at 3 seconds, and then every four seconds thereafter to maintain a perfect uptime on her Damage and RoF buffs. While not to the magnitude of other single stat Buffs, thanks to her high base Stats, early activation, and ability to keep the buff active continuously, Howa can compete with the best ARs.
The rest of Howa's Skill is interesting, but outside of specific scenarios, waiting on the accumulation of stacks will result in a net loss of Damage when compared to keeping simply activating her Skill as soon as possible.
Pros
Strong Skill
Howa 89's Skill gives her a sizable boost to both Rate of Fire and Damage early in battles..
Cons
Low Accuracy
Howa 89's Accuracy is her one major weak point, coming in on the lower end of AR's.
