Doll review
Overview
Welrod MkⅡ is an Accuracy debuffing HG, reducing enemies’ Accuracy with her Skill.
A HG’s effectiveness is based on their Skill effect combined with their tilebuffs. Killing enemies faster is almost always the best way to reduce damage taken, and reducing Accuracy is not an effective way of reducing enemy damage when plenty of later enemies have Surehit or simply too much Accuracy for this to function. Even though Welrod MkⅡ’s tiles are good, she is not recommended to use before Modding.
Mod review
Overview
Welrod’s neural upgrade is great. Before, she was a vaguely niche handgun who had been sidelined due to many enemies destroying any evasion-dependent units. Now she is half-immortal. Her second skill creates a nigh-unbreakable shield after taking damage. She gets armor and bonuses on her skill 1 from her special equipment, making even her mod 3 decent. Mod 2 is still a majority of her utility though, and can be stopped at.
Due to how her kit works, Welrod MkII Mod becomes actually useful for tanking the high damage attacks of enemies. She can work on teams that need someone to absorb these kinds of attacks, potentially early in the fight. She also still retains the ability to assist another maintank in surviving crazy fights.
Pros
Amazing Tiles
Welrod MkII’s mod 1 reorients her tiles so she pretty much automatically goes in position 8, where she can buff the entire backline. This means she only conflicts her spot with Px4 Storm and off tanks. Additionally, her tiles get buffed so they give 24% damage and 20% rate of fire, an even bigger improvement on her already strong tiles.
High Base HP
Welrod MkII Mod peaks at 405 HP, which is really high for an HG and synergistic with her skill 2.
High Base Evasion
98 Evasion is also really high for an HG and complements Welrod’s role.
More Applicable Debuff
Not only does Welrod MkII Mod debuff enemy accuracy but also damage by 15%. An additional 30% damage reduction is stacked on top if Welrod is targeting the enemy that’s damaging her. This means Welrod is able to survive more extreme forms of damage.
Insane Situational Survivability
Welrod MkII Mod now has evasion, damage reduction, armor, and a shield that can survive any damage, making her incredibly good at surviving low damage sources and almost immortal once she drops the shield.
Cons
Removes Some Premod Tiles
Welrod pre mod had a tile shape that allowed her to be on positions 4 or 5. As the first example of this, MICA overhauled her tiles for the mod. While Welrod MkII Mod’s position 8 can be more convenient, some utility might get lost.
Defensive Skill
As good as her survivability and debuffs are, Welrod MkII Mod does not provide her team with a DPS buff.
Slow Activation
After being hit, Welrod Mk II Mod needs to be not moving 0.5 seconds after she takes damage. Only after then can she deploy her shield. So she still has a window where she can be burst down, even with her skill 2 available.
