Overview
Yugiri is an early AoE MG, or something.
Yugiri’s low ICD does not make up for her small AoE, low multiplier and weak buffs while reloading. An Incendiary Grenade SMG will do more damage with their initial impact while also having the burn effect.
As such, Yugiri is not recommended for use.
All ZLS Dolls share two passive effects when using an all-ZLS echelon:
- Summon the two ZLS members not in the echelon as reinforcements behind the echelon, with stats based on the Leader
- Summon a barrier that reduces damage taken and draws fire while active, with stats based on all the members’ combined stats
The reinforcements are incredibly weak and contribute 1-2% of the total damage at best. As such, your choice of Leader hardly matters.
The barrier can withstand weaker enemies if the fights are quick enough, but is far less durable than Suomi or an actual SG. To make matters worse, it can quickly cause your backline to lose links, as it inflicts 50 points of damage to all echelon members when it breaks. The -80% damage taken also doesn’t prevent Ai Mizuno from losing an entire link when her Skill backfires, removing one of the potential upsides. This is honestly so bad that using a full ZLS Echelon is discouraged. Instead, consider whether each individual Doll adds value to your Echelon and if not, pick something else.
