Overview
Type 64, after what feels like an eternity in No Priority, actually has a chance in the sun. Talk about one hell of a redemption arc, a complete zero to hero by any definition.
Now do not be fooled: her upgrade by itself is still not worth it at all. She’s a weak SMG in a class of already niche SMGs. Her Stun Grenade offers an Accuracy debuff and can remove buffs and shields from enemies that get stunned if you have her login SPEQ. It’s a pretty underwhelming upgrade given that the vast majority of enemies you’d want this to work against cannot be stunned.
However, Type 64 can become worth it, as long as you can complete her SPEQ-Set. With said SPEQ-Set, she can finally stun anything that isn’t a boss, and also spawns 10 clones at the front of the echelon at the start of battle. These clones can take 5 instances of damage, and upon being defeated, they apply 3% Vulnerability to all enemies for 20 seconds.
With these simple changes, Type 64 has new life completely breathed into her Neural Upgrade. The clones bring good defensive utility and also increase teamwide damage as they get whittled down, and she can now actually stun the enemies you’d actually want to stun! If you have the means to complete her SPEQ-Set, Type 64 is absolutely worth your time. If you can’t complete the SPEQ-Set though, stay away.
