Doll review

Overview

M500 is a free SG given for free pre-leveled from Career Quests. She can easily be used if you have any early needs for Armor tanking, and also has a strong Mod.

Her Skill has a very long ICD, low uptime and isn't very important.

Pros

Free and Pre-Leveled

As M500 is both free and pre-leveled, she solves early immediate needs for Armor tanking, such as for Corpse Dragging.

Cons

Not Outstanding Pre-Mod

Low base Armor and an effectively useless Skill, M500 pre-Mod isn't useful beyond just simple early Armor tanking needs.

Mod review

Overview

M500 Mod revolves entirely around her Mod 2 Skill, granting both M500 and other allies in her column 25 HP Shields every time a buff is applied to M500. While this can be applied through her own Skill 1, this is both far too infrequent and horribly late still having a way too long ICD of 10 seconds and very long cooldown.

Her Skill 2 causes any multiplicative DMG/RoF/EVA/ACC/Crit Rate/Armor buffs to grant M500 and whoever else is in her column to get 25 HP Shields. The ally in her column here is a requirement for this effect.

There are several Dolls with repeating buffs that can repeatedly trigger this with frequent enough intervals that M500 can help her entire column tank linksplash enemies, such as Doppels. This obviously requires the DPS for the echelon to be in M500's column and causes her to be a specialist role.

Pros

Constant Columnwide HP Shields With the Right Setup

M500 Mod with the right setup can produce constant HP Shields to help protect her entire column against linksplash.

Cons

Weak to High Damage

M500 doesn't have the same kind of massive HP Shields as actual Evasion tanks with massive HP Shields, such as Alchemist and Suomod.

Requires Setup

If you don't give M500 the tools she needs to do her constant HP Shields, she is just a weak SG with low Armor.

Full analysis

Some examples of repeating triggers for M500's Skill 2 are as follows:

Fervor talent for Fairies, this triggers every 8 seconds, even after it reaches full strength at 16 seconds. Only disappears with cleansing from Quills or such.
M1895 Mod's Skill 2 causes her to give two buffs every 7 attacks. This averages out to almost every 8 seconds.
SAA Mod's Skill 2 grants 2 buffs every 4 seconds. Her Skill 1 also grants 1 buff every 12 seconds.
Python triggers M500 both through her Echo from other buffs as well as applying a buff with every attack during her Skill.

Additionally, CDR on HGs cause them to use their Skills more often. (This also causes SAA's Skill 2 to trigger more frequently.)
