Doll review

Overview

ST AR-15 is an RoF self-buffing AR, given for free from Main Quests after clearing chapter 3-6. She is an excellent starting AR with unusual equipment slots; having 2 scopes and 1 ammo slot instead of the usual 1 of each type.

She is highly recommended to be used in the first ARSMG, as noted in the Teambuilding Basics page.

Pros

Good DPS For AR

ST AR-15's overall stats and strong Skill make her an excellent choice for a standard ARSMG.

High Uptime

ST AR-15 has a 15/16 seconds uptime, meaning her Skill is almost always active in combat.

Low ICD

An ICD of only 4 seconds is quite good.

Crit Scopes at Night

As she has two scope slots, ST AR-15 is an excellent AR for Night, allowing her to keep a crit scope together with a PEQ.

Cons

Cannot Equip Chips

With consideration to maxed equipment: Without her Night Chapter SPEQ, ST AR-15 will have much lower Damage than other ARs, making her more susceptible to Armor. Similarly, she cannot equip a Focus Chip so she doesn't benefit as much from her extra Crit Rate.

Cannot Utilize Other RoF Buffs

At max Skill Levels, ST AR-15 almost caps her own RoF with her self-buff, meaning that RoF tiles or other buffs will not give her much of a benefit, if any.

Mod review

Overview

ST AR-15's Mod comes with a few benefits:

Her Skill 1 gains 5% extra RoF, pushing her up an RoF bracket at level 109. This is also true with her Night SPEQ.

Her Skill 2 is an extra hit of 10% Damage, which can Miss, Crit and is affected by Armor like a normal attack. This makes her slightly more effective against linked targets as link protection will be less of an issue.

Her tiles also gain a small increase.

Her Mod III SPEQ gives 15 Damage and 30% Crit Damage plus some Accuracy, quite nice.
