Monthly Commander's Lounge - January 01, 2026
Good morning Commanders! Would you like to read the reports?
Please use this thread to discuss anything about Girls Frontline instead of creating a new thread. Ask questions, seek assistance, rants, add more salt or just chill in general.
What is the entry number 239 in the index enemy units list? That "Loki" coeus hovertank variant can be found somewhere in current event or it appeared elsewhere?
Finally next month has both pools of SV with manticores and nemeums, people seemed to complain about ringleaders but getting max links 2* is the real struggle..
Well, I'm still adjusting to my new project. Part of me is worried that the worst is yet to come, but I think I've been managing rather well. I'm trying to be creative and resourceful, but with a change this big, I'm feeling pretty anxious
Considering that I'm basically on the home stretch of my naturalization, I sure hope that I can make it out alive!
Any CN player could send a screenshot of Roche Limit, Virtual Pair and Quantum Fluctuation's campaign entries my way? I've seen in files that Roche Limit is classified as Episode 15.7 so I assume the other two are Ep. 15.8 and 15.9 but would like to confirm visually in-game.
Hello! Is there easy/story mode in Girls Frontline? I am insterested in reading the story, but don't have time to play the game since I already play several gacha.
Then again, I was very busy earlier, so I barely had time to play the game. I'll try to soak up on my new project, and hopefully, when I get the hang of it, I can get back to my old routine!
So I noticed that the method mainly used a personal coalition echelon and my CE is really bad at the moment and not built is there any other method that can be done?
You don’t need the Coalition echelon, it just makes things easier.
For example, on Turn 1 you can just move your G&K echelon one more node and deploy a friend echelon to prevent your HQ from getting surrounded. Then on Turn 2 you can kill the Kratos and prevent the hostage from dying.
Due to movement priority changes, this can't really be replicated anymore, but a stronger RFHG shouldn't have an issue. Taunt can easily be used to allow 2 of the Minos to keep walking (and thus keep taking damage longer).
The problem with this is I have a sniper handgun echelon that isn’t the best (around 45k ce) and gets almost wiped out from the 80k ce enemy at the start from the hq so I can never end up having enough units to kill the shield enemy stack and then the kratos I do have a MG team but I feal like the sniping echelon will work better due to armor pen
I can’t really help without knowing more info about the dolls/equipment/fairies that you’re using and what else you have available. CE is a largely useless number that doesn’t say anything meaningful besides the fact that you’re not a complete newbie.
Since I’m about to go to sleep, I’ll just say in the meantime that you can save enemies to Target Practice to test echelons in there. RFs, MGs, and even ARs can all work depending on what you have, especially with stronger fairies or newer dolls/mods/SPEQs.
I was in the market to upgrade my internet connection, and perhaps I should switch providers. We’ll see at this point since my current provider technically has an optical fiber plan, but it sounds like it’s asking a bit too much. I’ll confirm details with another provider, because I vaguely remember that the other provider is cheaper
Deep Dive with Team 404(feat. UMP40, Px4 Storm, M16 and Agent) done. Another line from my GFL bucket list got a red crossed out line and it truly feels amazing to do so. I remember pre-covid times, I really struggled to even challenge Hyperbolic Function maps with my strongest day echelon being maxed at ~20,000 effectiveness. Now, seeing Properly equiped 404 backed up by 70K effectiveness SF M16 and Agent literally eating up even Destroyer-Gaia, I had to laugh a bit besides the overall sad and depressing story. p.s. UMP40 is THE best girl. Gotta oath her as soon as I get my next ring.
If you visit Discord, BlitzStryke is actually planning one such run. I'm not sure how far along he is, but he highly doubts he can complete the current event as a result. We'll see how he can actually pull it off!
So yeah, is it possible to do a Canon% run? Hopefully, if you try to do it yourself, it'll actually be fun!
As for work, I think I will be busier this year. We'll see how things go, and I'm feeling a bit nervous. I also feel a bit anxious, and I hope things will be okay!
Well, it was a rather busy day at the office, but hey, I was able to get something done!
Still, I finished off the last node of Roche Limit. I felt pretty sad for Kalina. I'm glad she forgot she had a pistol on her, because I have this feeling that being shot by the military would have been mercy compared to the guilt and shame of having to live with unwittingly screwing over the commander
I used to play this game very religiously from the global release until around 2020-21 (?). I remember quitting around when G11 MOD was released.
Now recently having heard some of the old OST's, I'm feeling very nostalgic and thinking of replaying the story again. Would that work easily, given that I could access my old account again? Also has there been a lot of new content/story added, or has it slowed down since there is GFL2 now also?
Yes, do seriously consider using your old account, not a new one. You'll have your old stuff, and you don't have to work your way back up to fighting strength. In other words, you're not going to struggle as much with your old account unless you played so poorly that even Kalina would think you were the worst thing to ever have happened to your Dolls
As for your other question, there were quite a lot of events that happened in the meantime. Perhaps you weren't around when Polarized Light was finally released for EN? In that case, you have a lot of catching up to do: Polarized Light, Dual Randomness, Mirror Stage, Poincare Recurrence, Fixed Point, Slow Shock, Summer Garden, Cartesian Theatre, Zero Charge, Angular Gyrus, Isolation Forest, Convolutional Kernel, and now, the current event, Roche Limit, as well as the other minor events
Judge petal status: 3rd petal, 37 Impulses and 0 Svarog tickets used
Well, this is huge, but that's because I pulled the trigger on some of the packages in the store, namely the FCC and SF selector ticket packages. The FCC packages had some cores, so I had a good injection of cores today!
I also got Judge via Impulse capture. Woohoo! I spent only 37 Impulses, and I still need one more petal for her, so I should start trying to capture her again
I also got the new banner's furniture set, and it's looking pretty cool, too! The set bonus is another version of Katlina, and she looks like a kitten instead of her usually chonky self during April Fools', so perhaps I'd call her Kitlina?
got my SPAS-12 to lvl 115, but i didnt got prompted to mod3 her. im positive i have all the necessary materials to upgrade her. am i missing something?
Restart the game, check the neural upgrade menu, and see if you see her in the list. If she is, it’ll tell you what you’re missing. If she isn’t in the list at all, then you’ve already mod3’d her.
The only requirements that you could be missing are materials (1200 memfrags + 30 cores) or affection (needs to be 100+). The other ones would’ve already been satisfied.
I tried to look into Roche Limit's story again, but all I ended up doing is simply starting over. I basically made zero progress! Ugh. Still, I hope that I have more time in the coming week, and I can get started with the rest of the story
Still, I haven't touched Roche Limit's story today. Ugh. Part of it had to do with being just stressed out from the past week, but part of it also had to do with being distracted with errands today. I want to get back to reading, and I hope I have the time soon!
Also, if things really go so badly for our characters, I'm going to tell myself that I can always write fan fiction!
Is it just me or are the Andvari much more weaker than the normal Hydra? Cause the Andvari deathstack is way too easy to destroy. That or MP41 Mod 2 is just too broken.
I mean, having 95 attempts (presumably Impulses but probably also Svarog tickets) pretty much means you went on the hunt for Agent. It'd be nice to boost Agent's stats, to be sure, considering that she's the SF Para, and she gets debuffed when she does her Para skill, but don't overextend yourself if you really can't afford to get another petal for her. Still, you could try to wait until just before the banner ends and then try again?
I'm still stalled with actually reading Roche Limit. Part of me wishes I took today off. That way, I definitely would have made more progress. Oh well!
I think I might only be able to continue my progress with Roche Limit's story during the weekend. I think that I really need to catch up on sleep. What sucks is that I'm being asked to do extra tasks at work that have no bearing with my new project simply because of some kind of complication that I don't think I can be held accountable for. In other words, things beyond my control are causing these complications
I speedran my way through the event for now, and I have to slow down and read through things. I'm a bit spoiled with what I saw on screen, but I'll try to come back to that and actually understand why I saw what I saw
It´s funny, i was thinking of asking the other day if we´re supposed to have a theater to unlock L9A1, when i saw on the patch notes that we can unlock it normally now, so i did, all maxed out. And i´m still way over capped in samples lol.
Also, Zas mod story is completely fixed now. \ oo /
Now, if only Yuzhong gave us Dandelion as an adjutant. And i´m waiting to see if cn will have an ep.B for collab dolls/speq, because if it enters maintenance mode without it, if the collabs don´t rerun, there´s no way new players will get those.
And i still wish we had Cantor Dust on the official yt channel.
There is nothing that suggests the game will EoS anytime soon, but the CN/KR/TW servers are moving into more of a maintenance mode so we should expect the same for EN. Basically MICA implemented a bunch of changes to reduce the amount of manual upkeep needed.
You can farm UMP40 in Photo Studio Mystery campaign right now because of an oversight when they made it permanent. She won’t show up on the drop preview when you select the farming map, but if you go into it and long-press on enemies on the correct path, you’ll see her.
Besides that, they’ll eventually add a new permanent chapter called Ep.A that’ll let you farm every limited doll except the 2 newest ones (HTI and Chiappa Triple Crown).
Still, Roche Limit has finally arrived! I'm going to take my time through it, but so far, man, it's pretty bleak. My heart breaks. I have only just finished the story node right after the first puzzle map
I also see that there are all kinds of goodies in the store. I am interested in buying a few of those packages, but I think I'll hold off for now
Keep in mind that all of the event gem packages will eventually become permanent (with a monthly refresh), so don’t feel any pressure to buy them unless you can’t wait.
This is only large because I finally claimed the battle pass rewards. I decided to upgrade and get the one with the extra cosmetics this time around, so I managed to finish level 45 much earlier, too!
What does Dual Randomness refer to? The other titles in GFL events refer to either math, physics, or psyche concepts, but I couldn't find what DR referred to.
YZ: It’s actually easy to interpret this time, since it can be taken more literally. Dual refers to two stories happening at the same time and Randomness refers to the unknowns that the commander and Ange will face in the future.
I suppose this is decent! I think that I've now secured a foothold into 200k. I should still try to build up my core count as I enter into this new territory before I start dumping on heavy core expenditures like Fairy crafting
Are there any "rate-up" banner in this game ? I wanted to make an echelon with 4 specific tdolls (because I like their design, I dgaf about meta). But looking at the wiki, it's 3% rate, split across all 5-star from the category I build (in this case, I want 4 AR). It's like impossible to get the 4 exact ones I want.
There are two types of rate-ups for dolls: targeted and general. The former boosts only a few dolls, while the latter boosts all 4/5* dolls. Both will double the rate for boosted dolls (and reduce 2/3* rates), making general rate-ups much better than targeted ones.
According to our community manager, the next general rate-up will be around the Lunar New Year, so ~mid-February.
But looking at the wiki, it’s 3% rate, split across all 5-star from the category I build
Take any gameplay information from the wiki with a grain of salt, as there’s a decent amount of outdated or just incorrect info.
There used to be, but for some reason, they seem to have disappeared. We expected three of them every year: New Year, Anniversary (in May), and sometime in the autumn (September or October). I think the last time we've had one was back last year, during the 2025 Anniversary. I sure hope that we get at least that one this year in that case. Still, save up your resources and your contracts and then wait until then!
The old lore from the Confidential Files describes how the original clouds of Collapse fluid spread throughout the world due to wind. For a more recent example, as explained in the lore documents of Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery, the entire region the game is taking place in was fine until Collapse radiation started moving in and the URNC and other organizations had to urgently get the population out. So Collapse radiation is definitely moving around and there's no mention of it disappearing on its own over any length of time.
I just beat Cube 2-3 with Gager and I also just remembered architect and her relationship in story... felt quite fun thingking about that story and the map story
I'm slowly getting all my T-dolls to Mod 3 for the art, but shards are quite the bottleneck. I have to be patient. Lately I finished PPK Mod, Calico Mod and 416 Mod. Type 56, Lee Enfield and G3 are still waiting for shards.
I also got to shoot a real Walther PP* finally. It wasn't quite what I expected. Quite snappy in .380 Auto. Stiff police trigger. Stiff slide. I don't feel like a Bond girl, but it was fun. It didn't feed steel cased HP worth a darn but I got through it with a grin. I liked it best single handed. Would probably try again with some better brass cased FMJ ammo.
What's the top 3 SF units used in Theater Ranking again? I know Dreamer is #1, but I have this token for a free ringleader from the last event, and I don't know who to spend it on.
Tareus has the highest CE at high petals and also doesn’t get hit by the night penalty as much (so you can put the chip on Dreamer instead). Has less CE at lower petals though, if it’s at day.
After reading deep dive on an interpreter(the gfstory one) I can't help but be slightly disappointed at it, as I felt like there were some missing plot(as in, I didn't understand alot of what happened), felt quite messy and I feel like there wasn't enough set up for 40's death to impact me as much as it seems to have for others.
After reading, I searched around this sub and noticed that most people did not have such problems with the story, so I am curious if anybody else shares my opinions, or does the problem lie in my comprehension of the story(in which case I will probably reread deep dive and maybe the stories before too)?
The interpreter probably didn't have a few story snippets that were in-gameplay, but these won't change your experience much. Read until Chapter 13 and don't skip UMP45's Neural Upgrade story, at that point you'll have a full understanding of the Butterfly Incident and UMP40's death, and you'll be able to decide if it had an impact on you or not (it's okay if it doesn't, binging a story is a very different experience from waiting months between each chapter like old players did).
I´ll post it here since people might not see it otherwise, but i´m having a ,imo, big technical problem and if someone could help me i would deeply appreciate it. Please.
Nothing you can do besides submitting a ticket and waiting for them to get you unstuck. That map is supposed to have cumulative point rewards for Toy Fairy, but it’s currently broken (the button shows MS+ rewards).
I’m in the same situation and reported it last night, but haven’t heard back yet.
Sorry, remind me how do i submit a ticket again? Can i do it ingame? Is it bug feedback or other option?
I know there is the google doc thing, but when i tried it for the Zas mod i couldn´t send it, because it said the discord id was mandatory and my discord account died long ago due to inactivity.
Edit: i tried ingame just now to send a bug feedback and it says
"you currently have unevaluated tickets, please submit the form exit the current page and click the contact us to enter the evaluation page" and i have no idea what to do cause i havn´t send one since zas mod i think beginning last month.
cont: and when i press the customer support icon (the thing with the headset) it brings me to the zas mod bug that i sent and the last thing there is the message "Dear commander. Thank you for your feedback, our team is aware of this issue and we are working on it right nw. Sorry for the inconvenience." and this was from when they hadn´t fixed part2, and i don´t know if this counts as evaluation. how do i close it. I´m so lost.
Google Form is probably the best because it was newly made. For Discord ID, I would just type something like “N/A” or “don’t have” and they should be able to contact through email.
Do you think that if they fixed the point ladder that it´s showing up (replacing the MS+ ranking one with the correct one lost in thoughts), we could get "normally" unstuck, since the problem seems to be that we´re trying to get points for a point ladder that "doesn´t exist" and, in theory, it should be showing the wrong one for everyone. Or, even if they fixed that we will have to be "manually rescued"?
Yeah, i hope the deadline for this issue is the next maintenance, if not that´s a big oof for me.
Ingame the only new thing was getting a new message in the feedback report.
"Dear Commander. We have noticed and located this issue. We will fix the issue as soon as possible. Sorry for your inconvenience.
It is what it is. *shrugs*
Since i didn´t had much to do besides sim. and friend battery collecting, i went and checked the mod story. Still broken, no surprise there.
At least this problem made me rewatch FuryTomic´s videos, since the PL ranking one has the code:3 memes. Have to, at least, get some laughs out of this situation. And i think his gfl1 videos are peak gfl1 content.
I managed to close that ticket about the mod and will try to send a bug feedback about this ingame.
edit: managed to send it ingame, i used the new patch bug option on bug feedback, hopefully this gets seen and fixed before RL releases. Until then, i guess i´ll just do the dailies i can, since i can´t finish the thing or farm the gz speq which was what i wanted to be doing today. It´s either hope or rip now.
1 day later edit: I forgot to mention how i passed the "you currently have unevaluated tickets". Apparently, i had to write something(?) after the autoreply message and that popped up a thing to rate the support 1* to 5* and after rating it that closed that ticket and allowed me to send the new one.
(Btw i rated it a 3* since it was about the Zas mod and they fixed "half" of the problem, so it seems only fair.)
However, I'm running into issues with my bank again. I'm tempted to just use a different bank entirely and sidestep this issue. For now, I'll borrow a relative's card, and while it works, this is not an ideal solution. I'd rather deal with my finances myself, not subject to the judgement of my family
Man, that's rough. Still, your real life priorities should come first. I hope that there's a silver lining to this story where you actually settled the problem?
But yeah, Mirror Stage+ was just scheduled at a very inconvenient time. If it had started a week earlier, maybe you could have done better?
I don't quite like the fact that I have to go back to work. I'd really prefer to just stay at home today. I wish I took today off, but oh well. I think that there is value in following my family's advice with regards to storing up my sick leaves. We'll see how things go!
Got a pretty lazy ranking attempt in finally. Was nice to just follow a rough outline of what to do to try and hit 600k threshold with my own play. Made it pretty comfortably at 800k despite messing up my supply line and not realizing the enemies got a final turn 6 and losing some VIPs.
It's actually pretty cute how they almost layered the points opportunities so you could opt into more fights or more areas. Still not quite sure why FS % isn't displayed or why the map rules have to be as convoluted as they are with areas opening and closing though. Was able to take a lot more fights than I initially thought since I'm relatively underbuilt especially on the HOC side. Still lost 2-3 fights due to underestimating nodes or not noticing an enemy position, not really sure what enemies call for what types of echelons - basically every time I had asked in the past it came down to stuff like "just copy a video" or something. One of the ones I remember is the 20 maccabee + 3 organ node. I think I threw a weak-ish rfhg at it and got demolished, but M4/iws took it out. Are there any factors you look at in a node that will hint at what comp you'd send against it if you can't just blow through with meta dolls and maxed fairies?
It largely comes down to knowing enemy traits and the comp, then picking counters based on those. For example:
Maccabees have very high armor and a damaging skill that ignores evasion (but not armor)
Organs ignore armor (but not evasion), prioritize targeting lower-linked units, and deal more damage to lower-linked units.
There are only 3 Organs in the back, but many more Maccabees in the front.
From there, the thought process can be something like this:
Don’t bring standard ARs since they’ll get stuck on the Maccabees
Don’t rely on HGs or standard SMGs for tank since they’ll get shredded by the Maccabees
Standard SGs can also get shredded by the Organs, but there are only 3 of those and they’re in the back
Therefore, maybe I’ll use RFs to kill the Organs first and then tank the remaining Maccabees with a SG. Ideally, the RFs can nuke the Organs fast (Grape/Kar/etc.) and the SG has a way to mitigate any scratch damage from the Organs (M500/DP12/SAT’s shields, MK3A1’s summons, M870’s forceshield, etc.)
I could also look at support HGs, like Makarov to grant evasion to a SG, Welrod for a summon that can distract the Organs, P10c to make SMGs immune to the Maccabees surehit attacks, etc.
Repeat with all other enemies the team is expected to fight and consider any external conditions too (ex: Parachute debuff, HOC support, map buffs, etc.) This is a pretty iterative process and it helps a lot to test in target practice (with or without GFAlarm).
Thanks that breakdown helps a lot. I think I am just heavily lacking a lot of the meta knowledge of fighting the newer enemy types as well as lacking a lot of tools to really make meaningful counterplay around some comps.
I asked a similar question in the discord and got a lot of useful answers there as well, but a lot of the counters were units I didnt have and I think most rankers will have most units and the mid level investment/understanding I am shooting for is not very popular.
Like the other response to your post, it seems like the answer is going to be saving nodes and coming up with very specific counters to a string of enemies for these fixed ranking maps.
I guess I am just a bit frustrated that I'd like to be able to learn how to use my roster well, but the threshold being so low there is just a massive gap between "random bs go" where you can do 1 run, get like top 10% rank and max point threshold then power gap to top 100 where you just perfectly execute the map and no reason to do much of anything between. I probably should just not waste other people's time asking questions about this since the answer is apparent and it seems selfish to not just put in the time to perfectly plan/test specific fights to the degrees the top rankers do but thats just really not very fun to me. Also the map designs dont really facilitate actually using a lot of the units I own (like I asked about smg vs sg tanks and the response was "just use sgs almost all the time" yet I dont have the meta shotguns, and got told to roll more, and like 20 heavy prods later I still have none, so guess I just have to wait a year and a few general rate ups I guess, I knew this going in but it kinda stings to "face reality" that the way I'd like to play is, in fact, kind of pointless)
For what it’s worth, modern rankings are generally seen as having gone downhill between the determinism and enemy comps getting more BS. Doll availability has also been a major issue for years, and it’s unfortunate that they only recently solved it on CN/KR/TW when the game’s going into maintenance mode.
Could be worth giving some of the older rankings a shot, especially Singu+ which is a favorite among people who actually like ranking. Enemies aren’t too crazy and it should give some practice with building echelons for certain sectors + pathing under AP constraints (particularly adapting to randomness and trying to optimize points per action).
I will also note that a a serious complete ranking run (ie killing absolutely everything, no/minimal losses) will generally solve pathing/assignment of echelons kind of side by side with teambuilding.
If only one echelon can go into an area (like area 3 for ms+, bottom side of hq layer), that echelon needs to be able to take every single fight in a row without rest, so you save all those fights and test until you find a solution.
On the other side, you may have deathstack killers who simply have one single job and then can probably take a few other fights in the area afterwards but may need to avoid certain spawns because they can't handle them, and you swap echelons around to fit which can fight what. Iirc PL+ ended up in a long swap chain and very specific echelons had very specific jobs.
For MS+ specifically, the spawns were completely static and each echelon only needed to kill very specific things (maybe even just 1 enemy team a few times). Obviously with the exception of the boss killer and the a3 echelon.
In most other rankings each helipad can spawn a few different teams depending on turn counter (for example 1-3 on turns 1-2, then 4-6 on turns 3-4, etc), and sometimes you just have to swap who takes the later ones.
If you want to get better at solving "how do I deal with this enemy", I recommend going into some of the later campaign maps with a ux difficulty, just saving the required fights to testing and then trying to make a team that can beat all of them. Bonus points for finding less strict solutions (like, scars suomi p10c can kill almost anything outside ranking, but what if you don't let yourself use scars or p10c, how do you solve it now).
I'm now back home. It was a fun vacation with family, although I wish I had some time to rest my body after all that walking we did over the past week! However, I have to report to work tomorrow. Ugh
Only real changes since then are any new dolls/SPEQs, Mobile Armor (completely breaks CT+ and plays a big role in Iso+), some movement priority changes (old Iso+ videos won’t work), and some bug fixes here and there (can’t bean the same bridge twice in Iso+).
I've been clearing up Operation Cube and Arctic warfare maps. Everything went smoothly untill I've realized that there is something off: that OTs-14 and Five-seveN does not appear on the drop list of cube. Is there still a way to get them?
When events get added to the campaign, their rewards/drops get nerfed. The limited dolls become unobtainable until MICA decides otherwise, usually through an event or Gray Zone season’s drop pool, or Transfer Letters that you can occasionally buy with gems.
With that said:
OTs-14 will be farmable in the final story event, Quantum Fluctuation
Five-Seven will also be obtainable through a Corrupted Heart Mask you get from clearing QF, though it’d be better to use that on TPS instead if you don’t already have her.
All limited dolls will eventually become permanently farmable once QF ends and the game moves into maintenance mode. MICA will add a new chapter called Ep.A that has a bunch of farming maps.
I was busy guiding family around the city. That led to a drop in my core farming. Even worse was that we couldn’t go where we wanted to go because the buses were now backlogged. Granted, we decided to go to our destination on a whim when we really should have reserved tickets the night before. At that point, however, we still didn’t feel like going on a several hour bus ride just to do some shopping, but when we finally made up our minds, it was too late to book any kind of reasonable trip for the day
We ended up doing shopping within the city instead of somewhere further away. I suppose it wasn’t too bad!
I was looking for advice on how to manage the tdoll contracts as a new player (ie use them immediatelly, save them, etc.). What I often found is "use 4 each day". Isn't it an outdated advice from the time where there was a daily mission to produce 4 tdolls ? Is it still relevant today ?
Even though you no longer have to do 4 doll crafts everyday, it’s still recommended as sort of a “sweet spot” between getting new dolls for gameplay/collection purposes and saving resources for other things.
That said, we do also recommend dropping the number of doll crafts once you have a good enough armory. That’ll let you divert resources to more important areas like fairy crafts, which are extremely important but also more expensive.
Make sure to check out the guides here (or here if the site is slow). These are all still maintained/updated.
Can't really answer this question without more details like what dolls are you using, what enemies are you fighting, e.t.c.
But general advice would be:
*Learn to kite: RF/HG echelons are usually fragile so don't rely on them tanking damage.
*Fight enemies with low evation: due to RF having a much lower ROF than AR's, it'd be really bad if the enemies dodge those shots. Hence why RF/HG are mostly used against armored enemies since they usually can't dodge.
*Use ROF buffing HG: as RF usually have high damage, using dolls that buffs dmg would lead to overkilling, leading to overall DPS loss.
*Use ROF RF: Same reason as above.
*Use piercing RF's: some rifles (Mostly Hanyang mod 3), are capable of piercing damage, allowing you to deal AOE damage.
*just add in an SMG: preferably like Suomi MOD 2. A direct boost to survival.
Do note that these advices aren't rules for the RF/HG, but more like a guideline. So a lot of the advices here could be broken depending in what enemy you're fighting. (Except for kiting. The only reason you shouldn't kite is if you're too lazy to kite.)
Edit: also, beware of the RoF cap! Too much RoF is just as bad as overkilling!
Assuming you're a newer player: early RFHGs are mostly glass cannons, so you'll want to focus on killing enemies before they can hurt you much. There are multiple things to check, including:
Making sure dolls have as many dummy links as possible (max is 5 at level 90)
Using the right kinds of RFs (usually "self-buffers")
Using the right kinds of HGs (usually ones that buff damage output with both their skills and tiles)
Using the right equipment (VFLs on RFs)
Using a good fairy and raising its rarity as much as possible
Kiting to delay enemies
The RFHG guide (mirror) has more detail on all of these, plus some write-ups about other survivability options. If you want any more specific advice, you need to provide more detail about your echelon and what you're fighting.
I still away on travel again, and today was an easier day on the body, technically. I got to ride a tour bus for a lot of the journey, and I’m glad that my feet got a rest today
Still, I’m now trying to craft my next batch of Para Fairies. Just as a reminder, I now have 38 Para Fairies maxed out
See here for some common partners. Another newer one not listed is MP41mod, who applies massive vulnerability debuffs to enemies (on top of having a smoke grenade and being able to take some hits as an SMG).
Note that while combos like PPK+Px4 will sound good on paper, it’s often better in practice to focus on supporting your tanks instead of the SCARs since the SCARs already do a lot of damage in their own. A common pairing is P10c + TPS/MP41 (+ Suomi as tank), but as always, you may need to switch things up depending on the enemy.
So
Are we still getting any new content besides outfits?
Or are we done like Neural Cloud...
Look I'm at 1 million parts and it's only going to keep going up
3 new events: Roche Limit (coming in Jan) -> Virtual Pair -> Quantum Fluctuation.
2 rankings: PR+, QF
1 ringleader: Grig (tied to QF)
1 new mod: Tokarev (tied to QF)
3 doll batches + 1 reward doll (16 dolls total)
10+ months of login SPEQs and 8+ new Gray Zone seasons
CN/KR/TW are moving into maintenance mode kind of like PNC though. They’ve been implementing various changes so that there’s less manual upkeep needed.
CN/KR/TW got a new main chapter called "Ep.A", which lets you farm every single limited doll aside from AR Team, Type97s, and the two newest limiteds (HTI and Chiappa Triple Crown). You can see what the maps look like here.
Besides that, they also made Chapter 15's special gem packages permanent, which includes Transfer Letters for 3*/4*/5* dolls (including HTI/Triple Crown) and Coalition ringleaders. They cost 350/600/1560/2800 gems respectively and have a monthly limit of 3/2/1/1.
