The large caliber artillery LCA is probably the worst weapon in the game, as you indicate with it being a stupid waste of a slot.Have t here been any updates to Large caliber artillery thus far? It's a stupid waste of a slot without the superweapon upgrade and Elfriede (my wifu 4 lifu) starts with it with no way to swap out
*Rant*
The damage calculations at the end of the mission may not show the more "actual" number, when you have it equiped on Elfriede. Seeing how it counts the damage from the start of the mission. Where you or anyone else probably didn't prioritize it that much for upgrades. Even taking into account the time where it got to lvl 8 and outright just counts the time before as zero damage. Like if it was around the 10 minute mark on a 20 minute mission (for the ease of this example) we got it to lvl 8. We "could" all too favorably "say" the DPS was "effectively" double of what was shown, since those numbers counted those 10 minutes before LCA was upgraded. The modified DPS of LCA is still be outperformed by the evolved laser bots without accounting anything for them. During a mission where you have fully evolved fast missiles, blade (not the saw blades), and auto cannon among other things... all of these are weapons that outrange the laser bots leaving them with next to nothing to fire at for most of the mission... LCA is outperformed by that in that situation... even though it far outranges the laser bots. AND Elfriede has the 10% extra damage boost to missile weapons, which it counts as. That's how bad it is.
*End of rant*
I like the model of Elfriede too, though the mech suit sort of hides her tits too much compared to the other girls. If you are doing a 30 minutes mission on hard mode. Going fully defensive is simply not an option on anything else but the easy missions. There's next to no upsides of having more armor and health over faster cooldown, more crit damage, and more overall damage. Plus she doesn't have any natural regen. Doubling down on her strengths sadly doesn't works, instead you are forced to compensate for her weaknesses.
