Doll review
Overview
AS Val is a Night self-buffing AR.
As a Night AR, AS Val has a significantly weaker Skill at Day but a stronger multiplier at Night. While this might seem beneficial, there really isn’t much reason to use a Night specialist when good Day ARs are completely fine at Night with a PEQ equipped. Her uptime is also not very impressive.
As such, pre-Mod AS Val is not recommended for use.

Overview

Disclaimer: Note that AS Val is only useful for Night, as her damage multiplier is pitiful at Day.
With her MOD, AS Val rises from being one of the weakest base ARs to being a decent Night AR or surehit burst specialist, assuming she has the right support.
What makes AS Val MOD so much better than her base form is Faith, her Skill 2. Whenever AS Val receives a Damage buff from any source (Fairy Skill/Talent, HG buff, or even her own Skill 1), she gains surehit for 3 seconds. When combined with certain support, she can completely forgo using a PEQ at night in favour of a VFL, though this may not always be ideal, depending on the enemy and echelon’s needs. The extra stats and upgraded Skill 1 from her MOD1 also provide a smaller, but still appreciated boost.
AS Val also enjoys a very nice SPEQ-Set, increasing her surehit duration to 5 seconds, and granting her a 50% chance to gain 10 AP with every crit, capped at 200 AP. This makes her a lot more flexible as she can largely maintain her S2 on her own, and it helps when dealing with armoured enemies, which ARs typically struggle with.
All in all, AS Val is a decent Night Map AR, especially with her SPEQ-Set. While there is little reason to invest in a Night AR instead of other strong ARs who also work at Day, AS Val is technically a decent option who also comes with a potential niche when surehit is needed. Unfortunately though, one of her SPEQs is limited and cannot be obtained if you missed the event where it was sold, meaning that her SPEQ-Set is entirely inaccessible to some people.

- MOD1 | NOT RECOMMENDED The stats and other improvements alone are not enough to justify leaving her at MOD1.
- MOD2 | BUDGET Skill 2 is the minimum to get AS Val to what makes her special.
- MOD3 | NOT RECOMMENDED AS Val’s SPEQ is decent in and of itself, but unless you can complete the SPEQ-Set, your resources will be better spent elsewhere.
- SPEQ-set | RECOMMENDED With her 2-Set, Skill 2 lasts 2 seconds longer and gain 5 AP when landing Critical Hits. If you managed to get her Event SPEQ and can complete AS Val’s SPEQ-Set, you’ll find a decent (but not overly important) Night AR.
Full analysis
Using Python is an option if you need much more uptime, but Ribeyrolles is preferred in most situations because of her perfectly overlapping Skill uptime and also being an amazing buffer for the other AR in the Echelon. You should also not tunnel-vision on maximizing uptime, as simply using a PEQ and #2 Chip is often the better option.
Note that Ribeyrolles' echoes do not trigger AS Val’s surehit.
