Overview
ColtDefender is a damage dealing SG.
Defender deals increased damage based on how close enemies are, which isn’t too useful as most enemies have ranged attacks, but does allow her to hit the frontline harder. With her SPEQ-set, each of her 8 attacks (per link) also causes an explosion that deals 1x Damage in a 2.5 range AoE around the target. This somewhat alleviates her weakness against enemy Armor and makes her damage output rather decent. However, her Armor is still terrible and she still shouldn’t be tanking, especially so because she cannot equip Flash with her Ammo SPEQ.
Take note that her damage output is extremely bursty, and can easily be wasted into a low health enemy. On the other hand, she actually hits pretty hard and can do quite decent damage on frontline enemies per shot.
With this, Defender still isn’t a general use Doll, but is more of a niche pick for the extra damage, for Data Sim, or for her reload interactions (such as with RMB-93).
