Agent Vector

Overview

New event, new collaboration, new dolls, and Agent Vector is one of the two dolls that the Ubisoft collab gives us ! 

We probably all know her original version, which is, sadly, never or rarely chosen for general use. Molotovs have been in a hard time since Deep Dive, Vector needed to change. With this collaboration, she had a chance to come back from the abyss of the SMG meta. Did she really come back, though ? Let’s see that together.

Agent Vector is a defensive SMG with average stats and a good HP value, which is a really good point when you’re supposed to tank. With her new skill Mobile Cover, she summons “Taunt Fairy wannabe”, that can protect and provide buffs on both herself and her allies under some special and specific conditions.

Before talking about those conditions, let’s talk about Agent Vector’s SPEQs, respectively a Silencer, an Exoskeleton, and an Hollow-Point ammo. In appearance, these SPEQs don’t have any difference with other gold equipment, after all, they have the same stats. But you need to look in the details to understand why they are here. You can find in said details that in fact, these equipment can change the Skill effects depending on how many of them you have currently equipped on the doll.

And here comes the special conditions mentioned earlier, in order to protect and to buff allies instead of herself only, Agent Vector relies on her equipment set’s effects, you need to have all three (or at the very least 2) of them equipped to let her do her best. And the effects are worth the investment, Damage reduction, additional protection, taunt effect, evasion buff. With all that effects and the fact that her Special Equipments are cheap to enhance, That makes her a really good doll that might have a great future awaiting her for general purposes or just strong enemies.

Strengths

Survivor

Agent Vector’s skill allows her to handle a lot of fights, even though her evasion isn’t that high compared to other tank SMGs. The fact that she has a more than decent amount of HP makes her skill and her tanking even more amazing.

Damage Reduction

If you have all three special equipment of Agent Vector, then you can be proud, Agent Vector is currently the only SMG that gives damage reduction ! The value is 20% and doesn’t depend on her Skill Level, which is incredible and makes her even more sustainable and versatile.

Evasion Buff

Along with the damage reduction comes an evasion buff for the allies that is right behind the dead cover, which means that vector can synergize with any high evasion/Self evasion buffer SMGs without any problem.

Cheap Equipments

Agent Vector’s Special Equips, unlike all of the special equipments of the game (excluding Gunslinger Girls Equips), have the same amount of EXP as simple 5* equips. That means they are 3 times cheaper than usual.

Weaknesses

Relies too much on her Special Equips

Most of Agent Vector strengths are only there when you have the full set on. If you don’t have them equipped, she becomes an average doll with a good but wasted skill.

Weak Taunt

Her skill doesn’t have that much HP, (15% of her max HP (139 HP max.) at Skill Level 10), which means that it can be killed pretty fast against some enemies (Strikers, Doppelsöldner, Gunners, etc…)

Versatility

Agent Vector can fit both the role of a main tank and a secondary tank, which gives you a lot of options in your team compositions and formation.

Synergies

Agent Vector has a lot of synergies that can make her go with a lot of different SMGs from all kinds. General Use like UMP45 and C-MS ? She can make them shine even more ! Niche use like MP7 and Suomi ? Sure, there’s an evasion buff for them. Agent Vector will act more as a support in most of the comps you’ll throw her in, but she’s a dangerous one.

Poor Shield Synergy

Agent Vector's skill cannot be shielded, you have to keep this in mind when you’re using Handguns like P22 and HS2000 in your team.

Bossing Potential

Agent Vector, with her skill and the effects of her SPEQ, has probably one of the best bossing potential for an ARSMG team. She could have been one of the best choices for the triple M16 bossing back in Isomer.
