Doll review

Overview

Being a second volley MG already puts MG42 one step below first volley MGs such as PKP, Kord, LWMMG and MG 5. As MGs are already a niche class, enemies that face them are usually dead or almost dead after the first volley. Add to that her below average accuracy she falls behind other budget MGs such as LWMMG or M2HB, both first volley MGs.

Pros

Good FP

Boasting 92 FP puts MG42 above most 2 and 3 star MGs, and even some higher rarity ones such as MG 5 and MG 4.

High ROF

Being a second volley MG, having a high ROF means MG42 takes less time to reload than her counterparts.

Cons

Second volley skill

Having a second volley skill means MG42 lacks behind every first volley MG, as most content requiring MGs can be dealt with on the first volley. There are a few exceptions, such as Judge, but even then, there are dolls that excel in such cases, such as Negev or Lewis.

Awful tiles

Not only her tiles force her to be a position 1 MG, they are pretty not ideal for SGs, as they are a class focused on tanking rather than damage output. Moreover, SGs usually want armor tiles to help tank beefier enemies later on.
