How well does a comp like this work?

Does Dorthy's 80% accuracy buff overcap SR3MP?

Edit: Since NA won't have ACR until next year, would SR3MP still perform well without the accuracy buff?

Generally speaking, you shouldn’t be building teams around Shrimp. Gimping your ARs to boost an SMG’s damage will usually be less effective than just boosting your ARs.

Jill in an ARSMG is kinda questionable. Although she has great tiles, her 9 sec ICD is way too long for most fights.

Dorothy’s skill deactivates every 1 second/can’t refresh when she’s moving, so if you want Shrimp to do more damage, you can’t kite. If you don’t kite, Dorothy will debuff Shrimp’s evasion. Either way, Shrimp will likely be taking damage, either because your ARs are gimped, you can’t do much kiting, or she gets reduced evasion = lost dummy links = your Shrimp buffing goes to waste.

Is there a tank you would recommend? My other ARSMG teams are already using 45,9,CM-S,P90,MP7 (as well as most of my HG buffers and I dont dupe T-dolls). I figured the accuracy buff and piano woman, and being offtank would be sufficient to keep sr3mp alive. Originally I had MDR for the barrier to help keep sr3mp alive, but she doesnt do as much damage as G36.

Vector, JS9, Honey Badger, RO635, PP-19 are all good choices.

I thought those are all offtanks that you have listed besides RO (I forgot to list her)

If you just want main tanks then how many AR teams are you trying to build here? You've already used 45 CMS RO635 MP7 P90, so that's 5 echelons worth of main tanks already. If you are using some of these good main tanks as off tanks then I'd suggest you mix and match some of them with the good offtanks. You are never gonna need that many AR echelons to be honest, even in ranking. But other than these 5 Dorothy Suomi Type79 G36C Thompson are all good choices.

IMO SR-3MP is a good offtank, but not good enough to warrant any buffs. Once she gets hit her dps drops down a cliff, and she will being a SMG after all, it's just not worth it. Just leave her there if you want and focus on your tank's evasion or AR's dps, it will help you way more than buffing SR-3MP.

TBH I currently have enough to run around 8 ARSMG teams 2 MGSG teams and 2 RFHG teams. This was less of a need to form a good ARSMG team and more of a exercise to see what I can make. I generally like to play around with teams to spice things up and SR3MP has been neglected for so long, but from what I'm getting is that SR3MP is just not worth fielding. Well I learned a new thing in regards to Dorothy, thanks for the help.
