Doll review
Overview
K5 is a buffing HG with a Skill that gives different buffs depending on Doll types on her tiles. As she is a tilescan buffer, kiting her should be done with a little extra caution, as activating her Skill in the wrong position will buff nobody.
Her Skill buffs different Doll based on their type, DMG for AR/RF, EVA for HG/SMG and much less relevant buffs for MG/SG.
Pros
Strong Tiles
30% Damage is quite good for a 4☆.
Strong Skill Multipliers
22% Damage for ARs and RFs is decent.
Cons
Skill Tilescan
As K5's tiles need to cover all Dolls you want to be affected by her Skill, care should be taken while kiting her.
Full analysis
As K5 only buffs specific types, she cannot buff summons or things that are not base types, such as General Liu reinforcements.

K5 being a desirable Neural Upgrade should not be a surprise to anyone familiar with her. She is already a great HG, and only gets even better with her upgrade.
Her new Skill 2 is Astrological Divination, which grants buffs depending on the types of enemies present on Skill 1’s activation. If there are any Elite enemies, she grants all units a 12% Rate of Fire buff and 50% Movement boost for Skill 1’s duration. But more notably, if there are High Threat units present, she gives everyone a 100% Force Shield for one second. On top of this, she gets the typical array of upgrade bonuses like stronger tiles, and her Skill 1 now grants additional ammo to MGs and SGs.
The “High Threat” tag includes every single boss. With this, K5 can make the entire team shrug off any massive boss attacks she wishes, provided the skill activation is timed correctly. A very straightforward but extremely potent tool that few dolls can provide for sure, which does also mean K5 will want to be used on manual skill for such fights, so you can time this as you please. The Rate of Fire bonuses that Skill 2 provides are also a pretty nice buff to almost anyone, and will happen fairly frequently as elite enemies are pretty common.
Overall, this is simply a case of an already strong doll getting even better in a big way, so K5 is very much worth your time. Raising her to MOD2 is the ideal stopping point. MOD3 offers her very little on its own, but with the introduction of her SPEQ-Set, it can be considered. Her SPEQ-Set adds 10% to all the bonuses on her Skill 1 and 2 when there is a boss on the field, making her just an extra bit better.

- MOD1 | BUDGET In a pinch, K5’s MOD1 offers a good upgrade to her base form with an improved Skill 1 and tiles.
- MOD2 | RECOMMENDED K5’s Skill 2 is amazing, given its ability to allow your entire team to shrug off any major boss attack should you time its use correctly.
- MOD3 | NOT RECOMMENDED K5’s SPEQ offers nothing to improve her overall capabilities in any significant way.
- SPEQ-set | OPTIONAL With her full SPEQ-Set, K5 gains additional bonuses to her S1 and S2 when there is a boss present. Straightforward and simple, but not imperative to her abilities.
Full analysis
- Her Skill 2 gains different effects based on enemy tags (for a display of enemy tags see here).
- Forceshields do not stack, and the later one will overwrite the earlier one. Since K5 only has a 1s duration, be careful about overwriting longer forceshields.
