Galil

Overview

A potato to gyaru-err, zero to hero on the visual department, Galil Mod unfortunately arrived too late for EN to fully utilise her. Her specialty is buffing flat Accuracy for her AR teammates sitting on her tiles, which means that she can essentially offset the night penality, thus enabling her AR partners to use VFL at night. Unfortunately, night missions are a niche content, even more for ARSMG teams due to the large presence of armored units in it. Moreover, she also competes with ValMod as a mod specialized in night missions, although she is significantly cheaper. As new Commanders have M4 SOPMOD II and ST AR-15, who, due to having two equipment slots, can still equip VFLs at night, there’s little reason for them to mod Galil early on, while veteran Commanders are likely to already have ValMod, a unit vastly superior to Galil Mod in night performance. Ultimately, Galil Mod is stuck between a rock and a hard place, and fails to be relevant for both new and Veterans Commanders. Too bad, her visual upgrade was really nice.

AR chip

As Galil Mod’s kit means she’ll be equipping a PEQ at night, she strongly benefits from her SPEQ since it directly increases her base Accuracy, while it provides the same amount of Damage as the AR chip. Since her focus is on being a support AR, it's more advantageous to use her SPEQ so the other ARs receive more Accuracy than slightly increase her DPS with the RoF buff the AR chip provides.

Strengths

Good night support

With an uptime of 15/16, Galil Mod essentially is able to offset the night penalty for her AR teammates due to her Skill 2, which allows her to share flat Accuracy

Great looks

Galil went from a potato face to a cute gyaru. Not many Mods have such art quality increase.

Weaknesses

M4 SOPMOD II and ST AR-15

While Galil Mod’s kit allows her AR teammates to equip VFL at nights, new Commanders already has access to two units that can do this: AR-15 and SOPMOD II. And so they don’t benefit from Galil Mod’s kit as other typical ARs do.

Competes with Val Mod

As Galil Mod is a night specialized Mod, she inevitably competes with Val Mod, who is also a night specialized Mod. While Val Mod’s kit specializes in self performance, and her Mod cost is significantly more expensive, the lack of night content in most recent content means Commanders don’t need a night specialist as they used to, and if they do, they might as well aim for Val Mod, who has unparalleled performance at night.

Not viable both for new and veteran Commanders

As Galil is no longer viable as an early game unit, this means new Commanders would have to go out of their way to level and Mod her for a second ARSMG, as their first ARSMG will be composed of M4, SOPMOD II and AR-15, with the last two not benefiting from Galil Mod’s kit as they can equip PEQ + VFL. Meanwhile veteran Commanders are likely to already have levelled night specialists like Groza and ValMod, which have better night performance than Galil Mod with typical generalist ARs.

Bad tiles

Accuracy is not a status ARs often need, as they have decent Accuracy to handle daytime enemies, while at night, due to night penality, their Accuracy would barely increase without a PEQ, while her kit is geared toward letting ARs equip VFLs instead of PEQs at night. Meanwhile her Evasion buff is not appreciated by her AR partners while at the same time it’s too small to significantly impact the maintank’s Evasion.

Anti self synergising Skill 2

Galil’s Mod Skill 2 crit rate buff and Accuracy sharing are mutually exclusive:

• The Crit Rate increase from her Accuracy excess is multiplicative, not additive. So if she has 200 excess Accuracy, she will get a 20% Base Crit Rate x 1.2 (24% Crit Rate) instead of 40% Crit Rate, if it were additive
• The crit Rate increase is calculated after she shares Accuracy with her teammbers. As she will sit in Position 4, she will have a 20% penality for the AR on Position 1, 20% from the AR on Position 7, and 20% from the SMG maintank on Position 5, totalling 60% Accuracy penality.

Team Options

P22

SAA

416

AN-94

AK-12

As Galil Mod’s kit turns her into a Support AR, she wants Position 4 this time. Due to her night specialization, it also means she’ll want a HG on her team, either in Position 2 or Position 8. P22 is particularly a good option, due to Accuracy tiles that will increase the Accuracy Galil gives to her AR friends, while an overall strong HG. Unfortunately, her kit doesn’t synergize well with AR-15 and SOPMOD II, so avoid pairing Galil with them.
