Doll review
Overview
AK-15's skill description might be the length of a modern Yu-Gi-Oh card, but it's pretty simple in practice.
- AK-15 does more Damage, but doesn't boost her own Rate of Fire.
- AK-15's skill becomes less effective when fighting against a large number of enemies.
- In a prolonged battle where AK-15 hits [Overload] cap, she won't do as well.
Due to the stack count mechanic, AK-15 has optimal performance when there are only 1-2 groups of enemies or when the battle ends before she can [Overload].
Since ARs tend to fight in battles against a high number of enemies, AK-15's performance ends up only being slightly above average despite her strong multipliers.
Overload Details
At Skill Level 10, AK-15 needs to hit 24 stacks to Overload.
- Against 1-2 enemies, AK-15 gains 6-7 stacks every 2 seconds.
- She therefore overloads on the 4th proc, which doesn't happen until after her second skill activation.
- Against 3-6 enemies, AK-15 gains 8-11 stacks every 2 seconds.
- She therefore overloads on the 3rd proc.
- Against 7+ enemies, AK-15 will overload every 2 procs.
- This effectively turns off her skill after 4 seconds of burst, which isn't ideal.
Pros
Strong Burst
The theoretical selfbuff that AK-15 gives herself is incredible, with a 40% Damage + Crit selfbuff coupled with the [Anger] passive that adds another 40% damage to every attack.
Decent Tile Buff
+25% Damage and +65% Accuracy are both highly appreciated stats for DPS SMGs. Placing AK-15 in position 7 lets her cover both SMGs with her aura, though it lacks the Evasion bonus that the main tank SMG would want.
Cons
DPS Depends on # of Enemies
The more enemies there are, the faster AK-15 overloads.
She loses a lot of DPS when overloaded, so AK-15's performance drops off in longer battles, especially against a large number of enemies.

Just when you thought AK-15 could not be any more angry, here she is with her upgrade, to achieve MAXIMUM ANGERYNESS!!! AK-15 MOD comes with a few interesting gimmicks, but all you really need to know is she can pump out absolutely ludicrous amounts of burst damage.
Her new Skill 2, Blood-Curdling Howl, is a passive skill that coincides with her first skill. Whenever she monitors more than 5 targets at once or loses a dummy link, she will unleash a retaliation strike against the highest Damage enemy. This retaliation deals a staggering 25x Damage that scales with enemy links and ignores HP Shields and Armour. It’s even doubled while she has Rage active, though since this is still on a 15% activation rate, it’s not something you can rely on always being in effect. There are more benefits to this Skill but they’re all defensive in nature and mostly gimmicky and irrelevant.
You may think this kind of makes her akin to an AR version of Carcano M91/38, and well it kind of does. Yeah it’s more complex and relies on there being enough enemies in the enemy group to activate the retaliation, but her ability to just delete the highest Damage target immediately is extremely useful. On top of that, she also remains a strong AR in general and becomes even better thanks to stat upgrades, improved Skill 1, and her Special Equipment. While MOD2 is functional, she really benefits from MOD3 because of her extremely strong Special Equipment.

- MOD1 | NOT RECOMMENDED The stat and Skill 1 upgrades are obviously nice, but you would be missing out on so much nuclear potential by stopping here.
- MOD2 | BUDGET AK-15 will now have access to her nuclear retaliation. This is great, but we can go even further…
- MOD3 | RECOMMENDED AK-15’s Special Equipment grants 20 Damage and 20% Critical Damage. It’s extremely good and very much recommended.
- SPEQ-set | N/A
Full analysis
- Her Skill 2 damage scales with her enemy’s links, not her own.
- Skill 2 cannot crit nor miss.
- Can target the same enemy with her activating her Skill 2 by monitoring 6 or more enemies and losing a link at the same time, thus potentially wasting one.
- Damage immunity does not immediately kick in when losing links, meaning AK-15 Mod could lose multiple links.
- Multiple lost links at once still only count for one Skill 2 activation.
- Can trigger Skill 2 if loses links while moving
- Skill 2 prioritizes the enemy with the highest Damage stat first. If there is a tie, she will then prioritize the farthest enemy, followed by the one with the lowest current HP.
