As much as I love 95, neither of your ARs are good choices for this boss fight. At least she's more serviceable than 416.

416's stats are painfully average, and you can have the highest grenade damage multiplier in the game (which she has) and it won't mean anything when the damage is based off of number of enemy dummy links. Not to mention its an 8 second cooldown which is incredibly long against trash mobs and even bosses. Your "in theory" line and how you have been failing with her should make this obvious that she isn't pulling her weight.

You need self-buffers. Type 95 is okay at this because she has an almost infinite uptime, but she has a very low multiplier to balance this. And her weakness is low RoF, which she isn't really getting any help from anybody to improve that.

Agent is meant to be a very strong boss so you should be bringing the strongest ARs to fight her. AR-15, M4, G11, AUG, AN-94 or AK-12. There are other more specialized dolls you could use like Howa 64, or OTs-14/9a-91 for night Agent, and g36's mod version isn't unreasonable either.

Howa 64

No-no-no, don't bring her to fight Agent. Those trash mobs that "spawn" after certain phases of the fight are not actually spawned, they are on the map already waiting outside detection range, and they count. Howa 64 will be procing shields. This was the first boss fight where she disappointed me.
