Cons
M4 SOPMOD II and ST AR-15
While Galil Mod’s kit allows her AR teammates to equip VFL at nights, new Commanders already has access to two units that can do this: AR-15 and SOPMOD II. And so they don’t benefit from Galil Mod’s kit as other typical ARs do.
Competes with Val Mod
As Galil Mod is a night specialized Mod, she inevitably competes with Val Mod, who is also a night specialized Mod. While Val Mod’s kit specializes in self performance, and her Mod cost is significantly more expensive, the lack of night content in most recent content means Commanders don’t need a night specialist as they used to, and if they do, they might as well aim for Val Mod, who has unparalleled performance at night.
Not viable both for new and veteran Commanders
As Galil is no longer viable as an early game unit, this means new Commanders would have to go out of their way to level and Mod her for a second ARSMG, as their first ARSMG will be composed of M4, SOPMOD II and AR-15, with the last two not benefiting from Galil Mod’s kit as they can equip PEQ + VFL. Meanwhile veteran Commanders are likely to already have levelled night specialists like Groza and ValMod, which have better night performance than Galil Mod with typical generalist ARs.
Bad tiles
Accuracy is not a status ARs often need, as they have decent Accuracy to handle daytime enemies, while at night, due to night penality, their Accuracy would barely increase without a PEQ, while her kit is geared toward letting ARs equip VFLs instead of PEQs at night. Meanwhile her Evasion buff is not appreciated by her AR partners while at the same time it’s too small to significantly impact the maintank’s Evasion.
Anti self synergising Skill 2
Galil’s Mod Skill 2 crit rate buff and Accuracy sharing are mutually exclusive:
- The Crit Rate increase from her Accuracy excess is multiplicative, not additive. So if she has 200 excess Accuracy, she will get a 20% Base Crit Rate x 1.2 (24% Crit Rate) instead of 40% Crit Rate, if it were additive
- The crit Rate increase is calculated after she shares Accuracy with her teammbers. As she will sit in Position 4, she will have a 20% penality for the AR on Position 1, 20% from the AR on Position 7, and 20% from the SMG maintank on Position 5, totalling 60% Accuracy penality.
