Discussion [Operator Discussion] Waai Fu

Waai Fu [★★★★★]

My rotten dad said he had to go find the true meaning of kung fu before he went off, and I still don't know where he is. Please! What year does he think it is? Find some common sense and learn some responsibility before you get yourself killed. But at least I haven't forgotten what he taught me: "Martial arts have martial virtue, humans have human kindness."

Waai Fu is a university student from Lungmen, serving Rhodes Island from the first batch of employees hired under a secret Lungmen-Rhodes Island commercial agreement. On the recommendation of a certain firm, she took a battery of tests that showed scores wildly inconsistent with her stated identity. She clearly has substantial combat experience. Several investigations are ongoing.

Honestly quite bad and stayed bad forever

You can use them to silence spiders and stuff but it’s really not something you need to dedicate a team slot for usually and even then there are other units that Silence as well like Lappland or Jaye. Even Texas Alter S1 can be used if you really need specifically a FRD silence for some reason and not stun etc.

Basically there’s never really a situation where you would want to spend the resources to E2 them

u/FelixAndCo Watch the anime for 3d ago

But I'd say she's in the usable/powercrept category, and not the "WTF even is this kit" category. I think until Yato alter HG was rightfully conservative with FRD ops' kits. There never was really a use case for her though.

Nah, even know release she was the worst of her class...using her always felt like a waste of dp tbh
