ICD: CD:
Activate the skill to switch between modes: [Offense Focused]: Every ($time_value) seconds, converts own evasion into both damage and accuracy. Every -1 point of evasion is converted to +2 points of damage and +1 point of accuracy. Conversion stops when evasion is lower than ($eva_value). [Evasion Focused]: Every ($time_value) seconds, converts own damage and accuracy into evasion. Every -1 point of damage and accuracy is converted into +4 points of evasion. Conversion stops when damage is lower than ($dam_value) or accuracy is lower than ($acc_value). Stat changes from either conversion is applied after other stat modifiers, and converted stats will not disappear as a result of other modifiers expiring. After changing modes, prioritize restoring the converted stats first.
AUG Para is a strange SMG who converts some of her stats into other stats. She has three modes, converting Evasion into Damage and Accuracy, converting Damage and Accuracy into Evasion, and not doing anything.
Her Damage and Accuracy are already below the threshold she needs to convert them to Evasion, so that entire gimmick of getting Evasion is just pouring resources into something that is too slow and not very effective.
Turning Evasion into Damage and Accuracy is similarly slow, but at least it's a bit more viable. She has 83 Evasion by default, with an additional 35 from a T-Exo. The threshold to stop is 75, so with just a T-Exo she can convert 43 Evasion into 86 Damage and 43 Accuracy. This still isn't very impressive, but if you actually give her some extra Evasion through a Fairy, tiles and buffs, she can scale her Damage this way. Note that these stats are flat so she does not need a PEQ for night, as the stats are applied after the Night Penalty.
The stats being converted are calculated as pre-conversion stats, so giving Evasion buffs will keep allowing her to convert even when she's sitting at several hundreds of negative Evasion.
She is still rather slow to scale up even if you give her enough Evasion to actually keep converting, but at least it can work if you want to meme about.
If you give AUG Para the time and resources she needs, she'll end up with quite extreme Damage and Accuracy. The issue is that this takes forever and doesn't make for very useful teams.
Every 0.1 seconds might seem fast initially but when you want to convert 100+ Evasion into offense, this will still take quite a while. Just how slow this is makes her a meme at best.
