GFVerse.info - SPAS-12

Overview

Our favourite glutton, also known for her OPness in MW2, comes pre-levelled as a career reward for new commanders while boasting a high HP pool among the SG class. Because of this, SPAS is definitely recommended for new commanders to raise as soon as they need a MGSG team, as she guaranteed to help them get through most content that requires an SG, until they can acquire a shield SG.

Pros

Good HP pool

SPAS-12 has a 1375 HP pool, which puts her in the upper class among SGs. Because SGs’ main function is tanking shots, this means that even if commanders acquire new SGs, SPAS is likely to remain in use until they acquire SAT8.

Good tiles

Boasting 12% FP tiles means that when placed on position 3 or 6 SPAS is guaranteed to buff the FP of at least 1 MG. As MGSG teams depend on killing everything within one volley, FP tiles are more than welcome.

Cons

Skill

Because her skill has an initial cooldown of 8 seconds, on most fights that SGs are fielded SPAS will not be able to use her skill, as they tend to last only one MG volley. Moreover, she also has a damage only skill with no guaranteed knockback, which means her skill is largely irrelevant as SGs are first and foremost tank units.

Low base armor

Compared to most 4 and 5 star SGs, which have a base armor ranging from 22 to 24, SPAS-12 has a low base armor of 21. While this difference is not apparent on most situations an SG is fielded, it may become an issue when armor stacking for high FP enemies, such as night Judge or chapter 10 Judge.

Full analysis

SPAS-12 is a 4 star SG that can be obtained primarily as a career reward, along M500. She comes pre-levelled at 65x3, saving commanders not only 18 cores, but also having to roll SG recipe on HEP early on. Because of how expensive SG crafting is and how often commanders will pull a MP5 from it, free SGs are more than welcome for both new and old commanders. Her skill, Damage Focus SG, is nothing impressive. In fact, it stands behind shield skills, such as S.A.T.8’S and DP12’s and other skills with guaranteed knockback. Because of this, it is heavily recommended not to invest data on her skill. Her base armor stat of 21 is comparable to her 3 star counterparts, whereas 4 and 5 stars have armor stats ranging from 22 to 24. Because of this, SPAS may fall behind on teams that require armor stacking.
