This... this thing whatever it is i don't remember, just fucking wrecked me sideways

It was on round... 90 of the defense drill, she just ran at the speed of light and slashed into skorpion, killing her in a few hits, then instead of going for UMP45 she went straight into ST-AR 15 who was behind skorp.

I moved her away to the corner back row and she just literally pulled a "nothing personnel kid", teleported to ST-AR ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK ROW and did 300 per hit like 10 times in the span of like 3 seconds...

Who the FUCK is this

Ouroboros is pissing me off. She's easy enough to beat, but finding her is a pain in the ass, even with that tool thing. It always shows like 2 or 3 spots, and she's never at the ones I go to first, and her cannon fodder goons just eat away at my ammo in the mean time <_<

I have 2 echelons in the mid to high 70s who can deal with the enemies without trouble. Should I try to grind up a third one since ammo is a problem?

Rofl I don't remember this boss. All I know is, 94~97 is a fucking bitch

How is Bren? I just got her from Ouroboros, and I like her design. I would be willing to use her as my first MG :3
---

I like her accuracy stats but she definitely could be better. The problem is, most MGs have pretty meh actives. You almost always just end up doing more with the continuous enhanced dmg or in rare cases, a Negev skill for the really long fights. A straight up damage buff skill is actually pretty good though, and I know BAR after Digimind becomes one of the best MGs, so they are definitely viable

The problem is the damn Salvo buff lol. If that was like a first round skill instead, it'd be freaking terrific. But you're almost never gonna go through a 2nd round of fire to make it worth the late buff lol. And you're losing a few % of dmg buff over it. You're usually better off with other things, but MGs are very very useful in general later on, so it's not so bad that you use her as your primary MG. But if you do start early, you also get to practice MG reload cancel early. If you reload cancel really well, MGs start outdamaging 2-3 formation buff ARs without any buff. It's ridiculous but also if you screw it up, they can barely do more damage than your tank in a long fight

Are the UMP sisters pretty interchangeable? Right now I'm using 45 because she gives a damage and crit rate boost to make the dormouse's damage even more insane.

...But I just saw 9's little chibi sprite. Now I want to use her because of the happy closed eyes + :3 face

Although actually I'll probably be using Vector with dormouse; the UMPs are going to be on different echelons. It's just that I have 45 at level 78 while 9 has been neglected and is at a measly level 29 :<

We discussed the UMP sisters earlier in this topic, three pages ago.

UM9 and UM45, which is better in the long? One throws a gas grenade, the other a stun grenade.

Calwings posted...

UMP45 has a bit more health and gives much more useful buff tiles to the AR's behind her, while UMP9 has slightly better evasion and her flashbang is more useful than her sister's smoke grenade. UMP45 does more damage per shot and UMP9 has a higher rate of fire, but in the end, their DPS is about the same. If your team would benefit more from the stalling that UMP9's flashbang provides (such as certain specials that take longer to activate) then go with her, but if your AR's (especially grenade-firing AR's) would prefer the direct damage boost that UMP45 provides, go with her. They're both great though, and you can't go wrong with either one.

Smoke grenades can debuff bosses but you cant flashbang them, right? I think I remember hearing that...but anyway, thats why I chose 45. Also some people recommended 45 over 9 when I was asking for a SMG, so yeah lol

To sum it up, they're both fantastic, but they each have their benefits and it depends on what team (especially the AR's) they'll have behind them.

Fine :<

there is a 4* and 5* rate up event

Alchemist, the boss for chapter 6.

Mustbe a juiced up alchemist because she tore through both UMP45 and Skorp with the best evasion gear available at level 100 >_>

Yeah i think i'm stuck on wave 90 as well...or at least it says that's what my record is.

Wait for me, Lee!

The only real rate up is on the shattering of our hopes and dreams.

Maybe M37 will finally show herself.

You gotta pay the price for tithica

The best thing about Ithaca is her voice honestly. Well that and the things on her chest that covers 90% of the screen.

She's sassy as fuck, like new allies? You already have me tho, or like I'm home Commander! Miss me? in this super honey'd seductress kinda way.
---

I just realized something. I wish you could get some resources from clearing maps. I mean I understand that thats counterintuitive to the standard gacha way of life, but it sort of makes sense, doesnt it?

You massace other robots; cant you harvest their parts, or steal their ammo and food? Manpower, fine, I get that that would be like taking PoWs for slave labor and thats wrong... but come on, just steal a little goodies from the bad guys :<
---

I mean technically you do if you disassemble the dolls you get, but it will never make up to the expenses you're doing unless its like, an echelon of 1 HG or some shit clearing the map but that sounds like the worst grind ever lmao
---

You can use 1 dummy HG team against the early maps. You'll probably get more resource than you lose lul

But youre disassembling your own friends. Theyre like Oh thank you for saving me!

*Cruelly ripped apart*

I'm okay with not winning resources from maps, but for goodness' sake: do we need to send units into battle with zero ammo/rations? Not hemorrhaging resources at every turn would be a great reward. At least dummy-linking a unit refills its health and stuff...yay.

Think of it as de-weaponizing the dolls really, you just take the core which i assume powers her weaponry, but she still works

At least that seems more humane that putting them through a grinder and collecting the parts
---

I desire for battle!

*Takes away SMG and fire bombs*

Nuuuuu D:

I was reminded of that comic because I finally got Vector last night on my second to the last contract :D

...but now Im low on resources and on my last contract so I cant really pursue Ithaca :((
---

I'm holding out for the rate up. Hording resources and contracts.

I guess Ill wait for the rate up too. I have Vector to raise in the mean time.

Wait, when is the rate up? All I could find was the stuff in May :((
---

The rate-ups are:

Equipment: 16-17th
Normal Production: 18-19th
Heavy Production: 20-21st
---

Ah, thank you very much :3

Although knowing my luck I wont get a single SG I want, considering that when I emptied my resources for dormouse on the rate up with her and 416, I got the latter like 7 times, but no dorrmice :<
---

Hey I didnt even realize I had another SG. M500, AKA Murica kitty :3
---

Only shotguns are considered Heavy Production?
---

Anyone have a list to all the official teams?

UMP9, UMP45, G11, HK416


???, AK47, OTS12, ???


M4A1, AR15, M16A1, M4


???, Fal, Springfield, ???

Mossberg 500 is stylish yo

Badass jacket, American Bandana, awesome design

The one in the front is 9A-91. I think the other one is MG3, but it could be OTs-14 or one that isn't released in the EN version yet. I would check the wiki to make sure, but it seems to be offline right now.

The one on the far-left is WA-2000, and the far-right is Kar98k. Those I know for sure.

You can only get shotguns from heavy production (besides the achievement-related one) but there are other guns available, too. Heavy production removes all 2* results, though.

Oh my god I finally got 20k friendship points.

Which background do I chooooooose
---

OMG I DID IT REDDIT!!




Now the circle has been completed.
---

Lucky! That's the Night 5-4 drop or something, right?
---

It's 4-4N. It took a long time, but I had a pretty calculated farming for it
---

Too bad MP5 is literal satan
---

I use MP5 on my secondary team (around Lv85-87), so I'm looking forward to maxing their dummy links for night battling. They tend to not fare that well so far, haha.
---

She really needs that unique exo to be worth a damn, but i feel its too much investment on a SMG for what you could just do even with a 3* like sten or skorp already.
---

MP5 is the devil, and IDW is the savior.

MP5 with exclusive eq completely eclipses Sten and Skorp evasion lol, and she has complete immunity, which is more useful than nades.
---

If you calibrate MP5's special equipment properly, how much is the damage penalty mitigated by?
---

Freaking Wiki is broken but luckily I recently maxed damage calibration

-6. Which is pretty negligible since MP5 is pretty much meant to be an exclusive tank
---

I'm so fucked for this rate up, i've got no parts still...
---

Why Wiki broke :<
---

Nice, my JV squad is starting to hit Lv90!


---

Oh my God finally. For the first time in like 10 tries, the Ouroboros finder has her down to one possible location; no guessing if she'll be in 3 spots :<
