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.
Mod review
Overview
Check the mod priority guide: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ty239kyJbBs1sLhTo1JvSWuN0mIJsK1nwVdI6OLLtXo/view?rm=minimal
AS Val rises from one of the weakest base ARs to being one of the strongest ARs for night performance assuming you can give her the right support to reach her max potential. This isn’t always needed in the Girls Frontline meta, but it’s nice to have her whenever night battles become relevant.
What makes AS Val MOD strong 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 forego using a PEQ at night in favour of a VFL.
It should be noted that if you lack the means to give her this Skill 2 coverage, then AS Val does become considerably less worthwhile against unarmoured enemies due to a lack of continuous Faith activation, forcing her to wear a PEQ.
AS Val MOD also enjoys a nice stat boost, an upgraded Skill 1, tiles that finally face forward , on top of a good Special Equipment that bumps her raw damage up further. Everything combines to give her some of the highest DPS at night for ARs.
Unfortunately for AS Val, even when night maps come up and you happen to need an AR, plenty of other ARs can perform perfectly well without needing to go through the upgrade. If you do upgrade her, getting her to MOD2 for the skill is the minimum, but getting her to MOD3 allows her to enjoy her great Special Equipment.

- 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 | RECOMMENDED AS Val has a great Special Equipment.

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.
