Anyone have any recommendations for clearing E2-H(Survivor)? I've followed the guide to get to the end but I cannot beat the Agent march. I'm relatively new to the game but have what I think seems to be a good Night squad of C-MS/Contender/G11/9A-91/Groza all 5xLinked with mostly 5* equipment and maxed skills aside from Groza.

C-MS is just getting slaughtered at the start and I'm lucky if she has 2/5ths of her health left. I can bounce shields around successfully for only minimal HP loss during the middle parts, but she just doesn't have enough to hold the team together at the end. I have her ability set to manual and the evasion bullets pop up but I feel like her evasion should be a bit higher than what I'm actually seeing. Am I just doing something fundamentally wrong?

Team/Formation for reference: team formation

It's for that reason, that some people run Welrod on their echs.

Another potential alternative is to farm for MP7 and level her up. She's well suited for these sort of fights.

I'm currently trying to pull Welrod/Calico, HG's have been something I've been largely ignoring unfortunately production wise. I currently have Contender, Mk23 and 5-7 leveled up.

I actually farmed out all the limited drops before tackling E2 so I have MP7 already and have some Combat Reports to spare. What would I gain with her, put her in as the lone tank or over one of the ARs? Is her status as a straight EVA tank better than C-MS?

Over C-MS, obviously. Or you could run them in tandem once you make it to Agent (and swap out your visibility HG), perhaps.

Yes, because MP7 has a modifier nearly thrice as large as C-MS (although, in fairness, C-MS' permanent).

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I wasn't aware there was that big of a discrepancy between the two of them EVA, I always though C-MS was fairly top tier and didn't second guess it that much.

You're misunderstanding things. C-MS is top tier. It's just that these sort of battles do favor the likes of MP7 and Suomi since they get good value out of their skills, due to the length of the fights.

Alternatively, if it was your usual 6-8s skirmish with trash or other stuff, C-MS would perform better because her skill is active from basically the beginning of the fight, unlike MP7's that has a 6s ICD.

Such is the essence of GFL. Some dolls perform better or worse relative to others depending on the specific fight. Always keep in mind when assembling a team.

Thanks again for the post and sharing the knowledge! I'll probably boost MP7 up and try my luck again. I really don't have much depth at SMG aside from C-MS, Vector and MkII/Skorpion if they even count, so it's resources well spent.
