However if you don't want to "waste" xp on your powerful squad, then you can deploy many weak echelons alongside the strong echelon that does all of the work so that ratio of the pool's distribution shifts more towards more XP sent to dolls that need XP and less towards powerful dolls that don't need it. So if you're trying to powerlevel one echelon, then you want to just send them alone so that they reap all of the benefits. If you send in two echelons, then that XP is equally distributed among all ten members even if only one echelon did all of the fighting. If you send in one echelon, then the XP is equally distributed five ways between each of the members of that echelon. The way that the XP combat simulation works is that upon victory a large pool of XP is equally distributed among all deployed dolls. If you run more than one unit do they split the xp reward, or do they all get it? IE should I make sure I run all of the squads, or try to do one. That's planning mode for you!įor the xp combat demo daily thing. If it's not obvious, I'm tabbed out doing other things while this is going on. Since the enemy damage in 0-2 is low but there are a lot of them, M16 is the ideal choice because of her higher than SG evasion but ability to equip armor unlike SMGs and HGs, striking the balance of both avoiding and mitigating incoming damage. I drag k11 to the front of the echelon so she is echelon leader, therefore getting a double stacked xp bonus for being both leader and MVP since she's not level 100 yetĠ-2 dragging is specifically done with M16A (the last member of the initial AR team) because she is an unusual AR who can equip armor plates, which is an equipment normally reserved for Shotguns. This particular setup of units being dragged is especially potent for the dragging AR, giving a total of 70% fp buff to the AR which means easy destruction of enemy units with nades.
this is probably a ways away for most of the people starting out in this thread, but it's an example of how to make the game's systems work in your favor. Not only is she amazing at tanking, she also provides the necessary buff tiles for her to synergize well with any AR.Decided to record a video to both review what planning mode is capable of and display the power of muscle memory optimization. In summary, UMP45 is a phenomenal T-doll to use in any AR+SMG Echelon. Her stats, while not being phenomenal, however, are still above average, and her skill makes up for the slight deficiency in her HP. Additionally, her health is around average, resting at 185 per Dummy. While her Evasion is above average, it’s lower than some other SMGs.
On top of that, it has a four second duration, which is quite long considering that it can be used as soon as the battle begins.Ī potential nitpick about UMP45 is her slightly deficient stats compared to other top SMGs. The fact that UMP45’s skill not only benefits both tanks, but also reduces the need to tank by slowing down the enemies, makes it excellent for ensuring the frontline’s survivability.
While there are two other smokescreen users in the game, they are both 2 stars and do not have the qualities to make full use of the smokescreen like UMP45 can due to her stat distribution and more powerful skill. UMP45’s skill, Smoke Grenade, is a smokescreen that she can first use only 1 second into the battle - it then slows down the enemy and reduces their RoF. The second aspect that differentiates UMP45 from the other SMGs is her skill. The only other SMG currently out on EN with tile buffs of such a caliber is SR-3MP, who gives 18% RoF and 30% Crit Rate for ARs, however, Damage buffs UMP45 offers are more effective, as many ARs (such as ST AR-15 and T97) reach the RoF cap by themselves. UMP45’s Damage buff - clocking in at 18% - is the highest Damage buff given by an SMG currently in the game, and her 30% Crit Rate buff is also phenomenal for ARs, as most ARs can reach a nearly 100% Crit Rate with a 5 star VFL Crit Scope and UMP45’s buff tiles. Her tiles provide a boost to an AR’s Damage and Crit Rate, both of which are important stats for a DPS unit. The first aspect that makes UMP45 so stellar is her tile buffs. UMP45 brings to the table everything that an SMG should bring - powerful buffs to help an AR, a skill specialized for tanking, and stats suitable for an SMG.
