Doll review
Overview
A rifle way ahead of its time, EM-2 is a 4★ AR obtainable from construction that really sets herself apart from the crowd.
Her skill, Cookie Blam Shot, allows EM-2 to deal massive burst damage with three extremely powerful shots. EM-2 is in her prime when fighting sub-100k bosses and similar high HP enemies. Since these three powerful slots never miss, she proves her worth in night battles too.
In fights against more general enemies, EM-2 still manages to hold her own against common self-buff ARs. Given that even basic foes can have considerable HP values, her skill still has value and is not as prone to overkilling to the extent one might think.
What EM-2 offers is something that is both highly useful and not found on almost any other AR. In situations where you need a lot of damage quickly, little can match EM-2’s immediate output.
Pros
Massive Burst Damage from Skill
Cookie Blam Shot has EM-2 fire three shots extremely quickly. Each shot deals 3.5x damage to a random enemy. On paper, this does not sound like a lot. In practice though, it is colossal. The 3.5x damage comes from each dummy, so it is actually a lot more damage than the description implies.
Her Skill will see the most value against high HP enemies and bosses with sub-100k HP, where EM-2 can make quick work of them. Since the shots also always hit, EM-2 is great in night battles for instantly killing a couple of targets quickly. Even against basic enemies such as strelets, her Skill is still of use given the considerably high HP values these mobs can have.
Cons
Random Skill Targeting
Something that can’t be avoided is the random targeting of EM-2’s skill. Whoever she chooses to target is completely random. She is even capable of targeting a completely different enemy with her second shot even if her first shot didn’t kill the target.
This won’t be an issue when there’s only a single enemy to attack, but in cases where there might be key targets such as a Boss alongside more general mobs, it’s entirely possible for EM-2 to ignore the key targets completely and use all the shots on the other enemies.
Mod review
Overview
Ah, the EM-2. The best British rifle that ultimately never came to be. At last she gets her vindication, as she gets her Neural Upgrade before M16 does! EM-2 MOD actually flips her niche entirely around, changing from a general mobbing AR that can quickly dispatch a couple of foes to a respectable Single Target damage dealer.
Her new Skill 2 is Resentful Pursuit. When she fires her shots from Skill 1, EM-2 will mark the targets she hits as a “Smash target”. Her normal attacks will always focus on a Smash target and deal 40% more damage to them. Additionally, if a Smash target is killed, she receives a S1 cooldown reduction. Note that her Skill 1 will continue to be random targeting even while a Smash target is still present.
A continuous 40% Damage bonus to her normal attacks is definitely nothing to scoff at. With this active on the right target, EM-2 will be dishing out a lot of damage. Ideally you want to use her in scenarios where there is a big clear threat but not much else. This way, the odds of her hitting the intended target with her Skill 1 is much better. Even better if said target is the only target, ensuring that all her Skill 1 shots always go to them.
All in all, a pretty huge improvement for this plucky rifle ahead of her time. EM-2 now has herself a solid niche and does it very well. Nothing about her is a must have though, but if you choose to upgrade, use her well and EM-2 won’t let you down. MOD3 is recommended here, since her Special Equipment is an improved Focus Chip with no Rate of Fire penalty and an extra 10 Accuracy and 5 Damage.
