Doll review
Overview
Type97S is a SG. SGs have one purpose: Armor tanking. Armor combined with Flash Ammo (which reduces damage taken by a flat -3) makes all other stats (including Health) largely irrelevant for SGs. Combining this with the fact that most SG Skills are too bad to acknowledge (as they are either DPS-based or have extremely low uptime) means that the Armor stat is the only thing that matters for most SGs.
Type97S has less or equal Armor to M500 and SPAS-12, which are given pre-raised at level 65 from Career Quests. As such, Type97S is not recommended to raise.
Mod review
Overview
Back, hotter, and more armoured, 97S Mod fixes several issues. She now sports a decent 22 base Armor, a beefier HP pool (though she still loses to SPAS-12), a beautiful Mod III art, and… that’s it.
Her Skill 2 slows down enemies for ONE MISERABLE SECOND (and yes, that doesn’t scale with levelling it, only the movement decrease does), which means that her Skill 2 is essentially useless. Realistically, the only reason to go for her Mod III is for her art alone, as her SPEQ is just an Armor Plate that slightly buffs Evasion instead of reducing it.
With her SPEQ-set, this issue is fixed.
When we thought we’d never see a Bren Mod or an IDW Mod again, 97S Mod made a close attempt at being ranked among those two. Her only salvation is that her Skill 2 isn’t anti synergetic with her kit at least.
Pros
Beautiful Mod III art
97S is one of the cases the Mod art is a huge upgrade over the default art (G3 being also a prime example). If Commanders need only one reason to Mod III her, do it for the art.
Actually no, she’s an expensive Mod, just save the png on your phone as background.
Cons
Still a DPS SG
Her Skill 2 does nothing to change the fact that, in the end, she still is an average DPS SG. Her Skill 1 upgrade added a small Accuracy bonus which, while it is welcome, won’t change the ICD or the bad nature of her Skill.
Borderline Useless Skill 2 Without SPEQ-Set
Whoever thought that a movement slowdown Skill should last one miserable second, well... I leave up to you to figure it out.
97S manages to be the closest thing to a Mod without a Skill 2. If only the duration of the slowdown scaled with her Level.
