HS2000

Overview

HS2000 is a 5★ HG hailing as the crate reward from the Isomer event, though will also potentially appear in later events as a limited drop. While HS2000 may not be quite on the same level as the other Isomer HG P22, she is nevertheless an amazing addition to any armory.

Her skill, Counterattacker Barrier, is a unique skill with potent utility. It allows her to provide all members of the team with a good shield and a potentially huge boost in Damage and Accuracy if that shield goes unbroken for 3 seconds. This offers amazing benefits in many battles, whether it be a rather basic fight or to potentially protect her entire team from powerful AoE attacks.

If this skill wasn’t enough, she also comes with tiles to match. While the layout of them results in some notable incompatibilities with other excellent buffers, the buffs found on the tiles themselves are amazing.

All in all, HS2000 is a complete package of a HG which any commander will enjoy. She is highly powerful and, best of all, can be obtained completely without RNG! (as long as you collect enough crates for the guaranteed drop during Isomer).

Strengths

Counterattacker Barrier

HS2000’s skill provides an excellent mix of offensive and defensive utility. When triggered, she gives a 42HP shield to all allies. If that shield remains active 3 seconds later, that ally receives a massive 35% damage and accuracy boost. 

This buff is somehow even higher than that of dedicated damage buffers, and matches Jill’s Fringe Weaver buff in magnitude but without the debuff component. The back column will rarely have their shields broken unless there is an AoE attack or the tanks are not present for whatever reason. As such, the tanks can enjoy their shields while the DPS units can benefit from the offensive buffs.

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

The biggest problem with HS2000’s tile layout is how the positioning requirements prevent her from being used effectively with other prominent buffers. As she needs to take Position 1, that means both DPS dolls need to be placed in Positions 4 and 7. Because of this, powerful dolls such as Five-seveN, M950A, and SAA can’t be used effectively with HS2000.

Team Options

Gr G28

TEC-9

R93

HS2000’s wide array of buffs allows her to be fielded effectively with most dolls. Since her tiles carry Rate of Fire buffs, she is notably effective with FP boosting RFs who will enjoy this boost. Listed above are just a few FP RFs she’ll benefit greatly.

Outside of this, HS2000 has very notable synergy with TEC-9 for creating shield teams. The combination of her own shields with TEC-9’s enemy damage debuff allows the team to potentially shrug off otherwise threatening attacks, such as the AoE barrage of the Doppelsöldner.
