HS2000

Overview

HS2000 is primarily an HP Shielding HG, one of few who can grant HP Shields to the entire Echelon. This isn't too frequently needed, but when you do need HP Shields, HS2000 is a good option.

Her Skill grants the Echelon a decent HP Shield and if the HP Shield remains unbroken after 3 seconds, applies a short duration but high multiplier Damage and Accuracy buff of 35%. The main attraction here is the HP Shield, as there are few ways to protect the entire Echelon from AoEs that hit the backline. The Damage and Accuracy buffs should be considered bonuses and not the main purpose of the Skill, especially considering its delayed ICD and short duration.

She also has some decent tiles, but her main purpose is being an HP Shielder and losing out on some tiles is better than dying to preventable damage.

Strengths

Non-Standard Support

HS2000's Skill first applies an HP Shield, and then adds a delayed but strong Damage and Accuracy buff later if the HP Shield is still up.

Strong Tiles

HS2000’s tiles are excellent, save for the awkward layout. She offers a healthy 30% Rate of Fire and 20% Evasion, thus offering benefits to all dolls in the team. She can buff every doll in a typical F formation from position 1.

Weaknesses

Tile Layout Causes Incompatibilities

As she needs to take Position 1, that means both DPS dolls need to be placed in Positions 4 and 7. This prevents the Position 4 or 5 for being used by traditional support hitting only 1 and 7, but there are plenty of options that can be used instead. Finally, if you need HP Shields, you need HP Shields, and missing some tiles to ensure you have the HP Shields required is not the end of the world.
