Doll review
Overview
Bamboo RFs all have similar skills that involve gaining charges after the Skill is ready and needing to aim to spend all charges, dealing increasing Damage based on said charges.
This entire RF type has a few significant issues:
- Charges take a significant amount of time to fill up (usually 5s).
- Using it early means there’s very little gain over just auto-attacking, due to aim time (this problem increases as you add RoF buffers to the Echelon).
- Significant chances of overkill.
- Long CD made longer by waiting for charges.
Bamboo RFs are generally not recommended, as simply using a standard self-buffer will yield usually better results. Gepard M1 is no exception.

Gepard M1 has been a mostly forgotten doll. Now armed with her upgrade, she carves out a decent niche for herself as a softer-hitting but permanent uptime IWS-2000 with a fancy instadeath flair.
Her new Skill 2 is Pact with Death. She will start by prioritising enemies that have not been attacked yet. This is done as all her attacks apply a Mark of Death to the enemy. When a non-elite foe with this mark reaches 30% HP, they just die. Nothing fancy, straight into the ground and out. On top of this, while her Skill 1 is charging (available to use), she increases her Damage substantially while reducing her Rate of Fire.
Her Skill 1 always remains an option though, if you happen to need that immediate high burst of damage. Sadly, do note that due to her Skill 2 condition, this means she loses the immense Damage boost prior to the Interdiction Shot.
All in all, Gepard M1 MOD carves out an interesting and unique niche for herself. The ability to eliminate enemies earlier than usual and make herself a permanent uptime IWS is quite fun to use. Pretty good stuff for a previously unremarkable doll. MOD2 is what you want mostly, though MOD3 does come with a decent Special Equipment.

- MOD1 | NOT RECOMMENDED Her Skill 1 now ignores HP Shields, but this is a niche she is still outclassed in.
- MOD2 | RECOMMENDED The Skill 2 carves her a unique niche revolving around permanent uptime IWS with an additional execution effect.
- MOD3 | OPTIONAL Her Special Equipment is a nice AP Ammo upgrade, but not needed for her to do her job.

Full analysis
- Mark of Death only applies if the enemy gets hit, and is portrayed as a skull over the enemy’s head and a “30%” under their feet.
- Gepard M1 Mod prioritizes the furthest enemy that she has not attempted to mark with her passive.
- After exhausting all new targets, Gepard M1 Mod returns to normal backline targeting.
- Her targeting does get affected by enemy taunt skills.
- Fatal damage is a big hit (99999 damage per link) that should kill most things, but it is affected by damage reduction like from force shields and Orthrus shields, so it is not a guaranteed kill.
- You might not need to level Gepard M1 Mod’s skill 1, since if it’s not being used in favor of her self buff, she does not need its damage multiplier increase or cooldown reduction.
