Likely to be a mainstay of your backline for some time, the Jaeger transitions from a painful enemy into a powerful ally thanks to Protocol Assimilation. Modeled after a Bamboo rifle, Jaegers feature a high RoF for their Damage, but a somewhat lower Damage value to comparable Rifles.

Jaegers offer several other bonuses, featuring comparable Armor Pierce to a unit with a 5* AP ammo, a longer firing range, which is important for SF units as they use the longest firing range of any unit. Second, with a relatively high Rate of Fire given their Damage and Armor penetration, Jaegers commit reasonable DPS, and finally bring their Skill to bear. A Skillshot that fires at every 5 (4 at SL4) shots, taking 1 second to aim, and dealing multiplied damage that ignores Armor, with the caveat of targeting the furthest back enemy. Due to the way Rate of Fire works, this means that Jaegers will fire their Skillshot no later than 5 seconds, and as early as 3.5 seconds, before Tile Buffs or allies Skills are considered.

SWAP Jaegers are their stronger version, but the cost increase leaves some space for regular Jaegers to be used in certain situations.
