>using M4A1 with only 1 other AR on the team
>she isn't even buffing that AR



I'm just kidding, please don't mod me. But seriously though, this formation is a massive waste of M4A1's main advantage over other AR's. Either swap out M4A1 for a different AR and use her on another team, or swap in another AR in place of Springfield and re-organize the formation.

lmao, I changed her positioning for that screenshot. But yeah, I have my other good ARs tied up in other groups (and didn't dummy link G11), so she's having to make do with her scraps. I'll probably just end up swapping the SMG for Thompson once she gets her third dummy link, and maybe get in M16A1 later.

Should I be going for RoF buffs for the 3RF/2HG team? I'm trying to fit WA2000, Mosin, NTW, M9, and Astra together, but they're not working out well :<

Or as mentioned, I also have SV-98 and PTRD if they would work out any better.

It depends on which rifles you're using. Rate of fire caps out at 120, but there's no cap on damage per shot. If your rifles have a higher base RoF or a skill that increases their RoF (which WA2000 has both), then further increasing RoF with handgun buffs may take you well past that cap of 120, which means you're wasting those buffs. For those faster-firing rifles, increasing damage is better. For stronger but slower-firing rifles, raising rate of fire is better, as long as you don't go over the cap of 120.

And as I have mentioned before, NTW-20 is awful for general team usage. Combined with her high base damage and incredible multiplier on her Interdiction Shot skill, she has the highest single-shot damage potential in the entire game, so she's fantastic for taking down bosses. But her normal damage output outside of that is terrible. She's either not doing enough damage per second to sturdier enemies due to her awful RoF, or she's drastically overkilling more fragile enemies in one shot and wasting damage while also not being able to take down the next fragile enemy in the mob soon enough due to that awful RoF.

Don't use NTW-20 on a normal in-game team. Just don't.

You guys are just handicapping yourselves for the sake of your raifus... then again, I have MP5 on my main team, so I'm really not one to talk.

The Raifus are all that matter.

Speaking of handicaps, my night frankestein B team seems to work pretty well

That's not too bad though. M16A1, being the only non-shotgun capable of equipping armor, is a pretty darn good tank while also having solid damage output. LWMMG is a fantastic MG for her low rarity and low investment needed, and Mk23 is a fantastic damage buffer, especially for night battles. If you set that team up in a T formation (with M16A1 out in front of Mk23 and the others in the back row) you've got a pretty solid squad for night battles that's also fairly respectable during day battles too.

Keep in mind that if your rifles are of the slower and more powerful variety, Mk23's damage buffs may cause that same "overkill" problem that I mentioned with NTW-20. SV-98 and Springfield are both middle of the road for the rifle category, leaning a tiny bit more towards RoF, so it shouldn't be an issue on that team.

I love these Rainbow 6 Siege Crossovers. I need more of them.

looks like i can finally grind t3 exp farm

She's garbage in night missions, every armored unit + sniper breaks through her armor so i leave this echelon as a backup against non-armored echelons.

Also missed the point, when i said frankestein, i meant i pulled all these echelons out of my ass cause i almost have every gun in the game at this point, so i'm just leveling shit and seeing what works, i already got most of the meme and meta teams ready so why not try different stuff for this dumb event the koreans spoke doom and gloom of, while i just laugh at it because its too damn easy...

My main 4 teams (all in the low 80's and with 14000+ combat efficiency) can each solo the tier 2 Exp Combat Sim on their own. How many of them do you think I would need to beat/grind the tier 3?
---

My main team is currently around 16.8k power (it'll drop down when I start leveling my G11 replacing my G41) My backup team is around 12.7k which clears as many trash mobs as it can.

16k should be fine, at least it is for me and the generic 2 smg 3 AR team, i'd imagine a team with 1 strong SG should be enough since there's barely any snipers in the exp mission.

So it seems like none of my teams could reliably solo it right now. My main team might be able to, but it would be cutting it really close. Would using 2 of my teams at once to clear out the tier 3 sim be more efficient leveling than them taking turns soloing the tier 2 sim repeatedly?

Any suggestions as to what kind of teams to take to Operation Cube? I just started; I only beat the first mission yesterday. I was wondering if 9A-91 is worth leveling because of her night damage skill. This is my main team (I'm grinding UMP and G41, so the combat effectiveness will go up a lot in a bit lol)

https://imgur.com/TIasiOo

For my second team I was thinking of using Astra, WA2000, 416, UMP9, and maybe 9A-91 or ST AR-15

She didn't earn the nickname "Princess of the Night" for nothing. Behind OTs-14 (the aptly nicknamed "Queen of the Night", who is a reward from this very event) 9A-91 is the best AR in the game for night battles thanks to her skill.
---

Dammit, I lost another Lee Enfield roll. I could use another good sniper for night battles. Been inching along with Springfield + PTRD (lol) + M2HB + M60 for armor-piercing needs. Might have to level up that Mosin Nagant a bit.

Pretty sure I could've beaten the 1-4 night battle earlier if I hadn't ran out of rations, of all things. Might as well try tomorrow. Anyone know the drop rate for Springfield's five-star ammo in that one?
---

i got an M1 Garand earlier? did i do good?
---

Actually wait, who's better for Cube: Astra or G17? I like that G17 has a full column of buff coverage in front instead of just an X shape, but I like Astra's RoF increase. I think that WA2000, G17/Astra, UMP9, 9A-91, and ST- AR-15/416 will be my backup. I'm leaning towards G17 and ST AR-15 because they allow more buffs :3
---

Astra is garbo, so G17.

Astra is good for one specific team and even then she's bleh.
---

Okay. I also remembered I leveled M4A1 quite a bit, but she doesn't fit well on that team :<
---

Actually...Are snipers necessary for this event? I'm also considering having UMP45 front and center, ST AR-15, 9A-91, and M4A1 in the center column, and G17 in the back. So UMP would get the buffs from ST AR and 9A, both ARs would get the buffs from M4, and the entire middle column would get the buffs from G17. Or if it's easier in 10-key terms

9A-91- 2
G17 - 4
M4A1 - 5
UMP45 - 6
ST AR-15 - 8
---

You might want at least one team that's using RF or an MG. Or you'll run into enemies you literally can't beat even at full hp
---

Do I need HGs to increase accuracy in night battles (like do they have some extra perk), or will any unit equipped with that night battle stuff work just as well?
---

HG's grant field of vision in night missions, and their buffs affect every type of gun.

You wont be able to see what is in the node next to your units without an HG, but you can totally clear night missions without one in one of your echelons.

Just remember you can't summon another echelon if you don't have vision of the helipad/command post.

This sounds fine, you don't have any other HG right?
---

Well that's annoying. If anything, RFs should be the ones to give you extra vision :<

And I actually have quite a few HGs.

G17
Astra
M9
Type 92
C96
P08

Aaaand then the super common ones that get burned faster than Kleenex soaked in gasoline.
---

I think it's like HGs are scouts that give RFs their vision kinda deal. Tho by that logic SMGs should also get the vision bonus
---

You can either use G17 for a more defensive team, or Type 92 for a more offensive team.
---

These are the two echelons that I'm planning to use at the moment

Would it be safer to put Type 92 into the first team and move UMP45 to take UMP9's spot on the second, so I could have a HG and RF on each team?
---

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable using SAA? She's my dummy for xp grinding and I've decided to level her up a bit to eventually be part of a HG/RF team or replace my Type92 since she's turning out to be kinda eh. But her outfit and being a loli is just... Makes me ashamed to play this game.
---

I destroyed all the SAAs I ever got. Sorry, Ocelot!

Every morning for me this week...

Me: I'd like one Lee Enfield, nothing on it, please
RNGoddess: Here you go, one Mosin Nagant with a two-star side. That'll be 900+ resources. Pay at the window.

Yes. I do not like her design at all, and I've only kept her around as long as I have because the Single Action Army is iconic.

Luckily, she's getting a star upgrade, and her new design is sooooo much better.

Haven't gotten any SAAs in good while now, but I'd probably keep one for the star upgrading stuff. I mean, if I keep doing E1-6 like I'm doing, I gotta get one eventually.
---

SAA's aura is kinda weird but the buffs she gives, oh man
---

Yeah, she's great on my RF team
---

Do we know if upgrading star rankings changes the buff formation?

Not sure, only stat increase, level cap increase and a 2nd skill, as far as i know.

Maybe it increases the aura's numbers? but from what i saw its just that.
---

Two skills is enough of a bonus, I'm sure, but a few more buffs is fine, too.
---

All i know is that M4 becomes a killing machine with her 2nd skill being a really long lasting(?) grenade launcher.

I say ? because as far as i saw from the videos i watched, it could've either been a duration grenade launcher, or you got X nades to throw lol
---

RNGoddess: Here's looking at you, kid


---

No MG5/PK no care.
---

Yeah, I'd rather have PKP or Negev, but this'll do. Probably won't even swap out my Rambo MG for it, but whatevz.
