Sprite
M2 is a MTR whose Skill 1 has a lower multiplier than 2B14 and PP-93. Combine this with the fact that her other skills do not directly increase her damage output and she just ends up being a bit weaker as a general MTR.
If you are reading older guides or info on M2, you might see mentions that her Skill 1 does not activate at the start of combat. This is incorrect info and should be disregarded. Just like with 2B14 and PP-93 her Skill 1 activates at the start of combat.

How should I prioritize this HOC?
Full Analysis
M2's Skill 1 targets the furthest target, as opposed to 2B14's and PP-93's random targeting on their Skill 1. When her Reload is maxed should hit about every ~6 seconds, making her a more frequent but weaker hitting version of the MTR first strike.
Her Skill 2 buffs random allies' Evasion and Accuracy, which can occasionally have uses due to Dolls' skills but is otherwise not worth thinking about much.
Her Skill 3 simply buffs her own Precision, which is neat but not super impactful either.
Trivia
The M2 mortar is an American infantry mortar that has been used since the mid-20th century. While it has been largely superceded by other modern mortar units in the United States, the M2 remains in service in many armies across the world.
- With the right chips, M2 can actually max out her stats and same color bonus even with a square missing in her circuit board.
- Thanks to the extra margin, optimal M2 circuit configurations can make use of otherwise suboptimal chip shapes like the size 4 pieces that have decent stat distributions.
