How do you mean

They out damage pretty much everyone else

I'm not entirely sure what that proves

Sten and scorpion are viable up to a point

1919a4 and BAR smoke people better than some 5s

That's why I still use BAR

Sone 5 starts just out and out suck

Some are really niche

Several 5s are shit, absolutely, my best echelon only has one 5 star in it

Do be fair I don't use too many 3 stars at this point, though with my unlocking a new echelon I'll have to look at M14 again

You'll get better use from good tile buffs and eq than stats

Well some dolls have such good stats on their own they're worth using in that merit, like The afformentioned M2, and UMP 45.
To be fair those are the only 2 examples I can think of, they could be the only ones

Ump 9

45 and 9's skills work well in tandem as well

I find that 404 meshes really well together with tile buffs

Better than Anti-rain. Though I may not be seeing good effectiveness from anti-rain due to level disparities

M4a1 makes ar team work

RO helps being a SMG

Yeee

M16 is your off tank

Though she can't really tank on her own

Sop has your nuke

Oh good, I set it up right then

I didn't realize ARs can equip body armor until I found M16 was able to, but is it a good idea to give her armor?

yes

Yes

She's the only one who can

makes her viable alongside an SMG in front of a formation as an offtank

They get so much better after digimind

When is that coming to EN anyway?

Ribey can also somewhat help with 404. plop her right between 416 and G11. she buffs ARs like M4A1 does

Problem with that is that is hat Ribey and M4a1's best placement is the same spot

You loose effectiveness of one if you use both

Ribs is gucci

Plus you want all 5 of em in there, taking one out for ribey kinda defeats the purpose

I've got ribey in my training echelon, I like her

I rolled a good bit for her

Ribs is cute

"Get out of that hospital bed Ribey, we need you out there, here, take the blood bag with you."

Cola Chan's xmas costume is very cute

I can see where someone would be tempted to whale
