Doll review
Overview
EVO 3 is a hand grenadier off-tank SMG. Unfortunately, she has been given stats that are terrible for the task. Her damage is one of the lowest for SMG grenadiers, which is problematic since hand grenades rely on the doll’s damage stat. On top of that, her tilebuff only buffs accuracy for one doll directly behind her when ARs have naturally decent accuracy. While she has a respectable base HP pool, she has lower than average evasion, so she doesn’t perform well in the tanking regard either. With such mediocre performance, EVO 3 isn’t even suited well as a budget option since she is a limited drop. Offtank options like Skorpion and PPS-43 are more readily available and just as cheap if not cheaper to link.
Pros
High HP
EVO 3 has a decently high base HP at 970
Cons
Low Evasion
68 evasion is slightly low for an SMG.
Very Low Firepower
With only 23 base damage, EVO 3’s grenade will not deliver as much pain to the enemy as one would want, since it scales with only damage.
Bad Tile Buff
Assuming she goes on position 8, EVO 3 will likely buff only one AR with accuracy, a stat they do not often need considering their naturally high base accuracy.
Limited Doll
As a monthly doll and only farmable through Arctic Warfare, EVO 3 is difficult to obtain and get links for, and so is a bad budget option.
Mod review
Overview
EVO3 continues the unfortunate trend of the most lackluster upgrades getting the best damn art. EVO3 wins full marks on style, but not on substance. Being a Hand Grenade SMG is already fighting an uphill battle when it comes to Neural Upgrades and she doesn’t do enough to make herself stand out.
Fatal Dignity is her new Skill 2. After she throws her grenade from Skill 1, she throws another grenade, this time a poison gas one. Enemies affected by this suffer a 20% Damage penalty and take 30% of EVO3’s Damage per second. This damage is pitiful, for comparison an incendiary grenade does 3 ticks of damage per second, while the poison only does one. In essence, this is nothing more than a Damage penalty to those affected then, which isn’t a bad thing but there are also HGs which fulfil this niche while having stronger effects, better uptime, and also giving teamwide tile buffs.
Another big problem with Hand Grenade SMGs is they simply don’t do enough damage with said grenade. Her Skill 1 did get a radius boost but not a damage boost, not enough to make it standout. It does at least inflict 10% Vulnerability to boost teamwide damage against hit targets (though it won’t boost the damage of the grenade itself).
All in all, EVO3 MOD is one that most people won’t look once at, let alone twice. There’s little value in upgrading her, though if you are a fan of her and just have to use her, it’s not an outright terrible upgrade. MOD2 is her recommended stop point, though MOD3 comes with an alright Special Equipment (and also the aforementioned amazing art).
