Compound Propellant

ICD: CD:

Defaults to Light Rifle mode. When skill is activated, switches over to Battle Rifle mode for auto-attacks. Every auto-attack expends -1 point of Battle Rifle ammo. When all Battle Rifle ammo is depleted, switches back to Light Rifle mode. When in Light Rifle mode, each shot adds +1 Battle Rifle Ammo. When gaining a buff that increases DMG, ROF, EVA, ACC, MS, Crit Rate or Crit DMG, grants self +5 Battle Rifle Ammo. Every skill use or buff gain can only add ammo once. When skill is not on cooldown, grants self +1 Battle Rifle Ammo per second and record all other Battle Rifle Ammo gains. This amount is added up and when the skill duration ends, switching back to Light Rifle mode will directly grant the appropriate amount of Battle Rifle ammo. When using Battle Rifle Ammo, all auto-attacks will have perfect accuracy and deal ($dam_value)% increased damage and they do not add any Battle Rifle Ammo.

Doll review

Overview

SCR is a very weird 5★ AR, and sadly one that falls flat on her face. Her skill length and complexity is not a sign of a loaded skill, more just a lackluster skill that’s confusing and doesn’t equate to much of anything.

To try and explain it as basically as possible, SCR has two modes: Light Rifle and Battle Rifle. She starts in LR mode and switches to BR mode on skill use. When in LR mode, she will build up BR ammo in three different ways: Firing at enemies, receiving buffs, and having her skill ready to use. In BR mode, she will consume the acquired BR ammo per shot and deal increased damage with perfect accuracy. She will then switch back to LR mode once all ammo is used.

There’s an extra layer of complexity to her: When her skill is ready to use, she will record every BR ammo she gains from firing at enemies or receiving buffs. When BR mode is expended, the recorded BR ammo is then added to her pool of BR ammo for next skill usage.

Ok, that was a lot of detail but hopefully that’s a basic overview of how it works. As you can likely guess from how she records ammo gains, SCR is a rare case of a doll which you want to use manual skill on so you can make the most of this feature. This is important because on auto skill, her DPS suffers hard.

If you make the most use of her skill, by making sure she receives a variety of buffs and maximizes recorded ammo, SCR can perform about on par with… G41 with Speq… For all the effort she takes, SCR simply is not worth it, especially with the aforementioned G41 being a doll you can just leave on auto skill and let her do her job well. SCR is cute at least and can have a bit of value in Night battles I guess, but she’s one AR you can safely avoid.

Pros

She Can Be OK At Night

With her skill giving perfect accuracy, she can perform alright at night without a PEQ. It’s not much, but it’s something I guess.

Good Tiles

Her tiles are pretty good overall actually, giving a great Evasion boost to SMGs.

She’s Cute

Cute as a button and has that even cuter spacesuit costume. Would headpat.

Cons

Confusing and Overall Lackluster Skill

Ok time to get brutal. Her skill, Combined Propellant, is one overwhelming description of a skill. She starts in Light Rifle mode and generates Battle Rifle Ammo via three primary means:

Each shot fired gives +1 BR ammo.
Every buff she receives gives +5 BR ammo, but only for the first time she receives that specific buff between skill uses (so if she is buffed for Damage twice, she will only receive +5).
When her skill is ready to use, she will gain +1 BR ammo each second. She will also begin to record the amount of ammo she receives from the first two sources.

When she activates her skill and switches to Battle Rifle mode, her shots will have perfect accuracy as already mentioned, and also deal 80% more damage. She will use 1 BR ammo per shot, will not gain any more ammo during BR mode, and will leave BR mode once all ammo is used. At this time, the BR ammo she recorded will be added immediately into her pool of BR ammo for next skill use.

This skill is not good for two main reasons. Firstly, it needs to be manually used to get the most out of it, as leaving on auto will result in her DPS suffering majorly due to lower BR ammo counts and the fact she doesn’t shoot during her switch. Secondly, even if you play as optimally as you can with this skill, she still isn’t that impressive, only being able to match G41 with Speq, a doll that’s been in the game since launch and has only a simple damage boost skill.

So with all that said, hopefully it’s clear why this skill is such a pain. A lot of hassle for low payoff.
