Overview
There was initially a lot of buzz in the air about Galil MOD, at least within my circle. We thought “Wow, any AR can now be AS Val!”, but we were short sighted and not considering the whole picture. Now on paper, Galil should actually enable ARs to use VFLs at night much like AS Val can. But within the current GFL meta, Galil MOD doesn’t have any major value to speak of.
Her new Skill 2, Eagle Eye Awakening, primarily aims to capitalize on her otherwise useless Skill 1. First, when her Accuracy is higher than the enemy Evasion, 20% of the Accuracy value over Evasion will be added as additive Crit Rate. This will barely benefit her for day fighting, but at night will let her Crit more consistently with a PEQ equipped.
The more interesting part though is she will give 10% of her own Accuracy to any AR or SMG on her tiles, at the cost of herself losing 20% Accuracy. While Galil’s Skill 1 is active at night and she has a PEQ equipped, she’ll be handing off a decent chunk of additive Accuracy to her AR teammates, thus enabling them to have good Accuracy at night even with a VFL.
Sounds great right? Well, not really actually. In practice, this is little more than a fun gimmick that doesn’t really help all that much. The Accuracy increase is hardly comparable to AS Val, who gets surehit shots.
Galil MOD is a fun cutie, but she’s nothing more. Basically just a gimmick to mess around with when everything else is said and done. Outside of love for Galil, and I know Galil has her few fans, there is basically no reason to do her upgrade.
