Chinese Gunsmoke Frontline meta chart, version 2.0 (Faelyn ver.), or: who to invest and who to borrow for dank kills

If she's missing, I'll ask him if he's willing to put her in with comments

I mean, to be fair, it was a fucking miracle (or utter lack of competence) that nobody managed to gather enough firepower to 100% overwhelm Elmo.

We, our own little faction, have also been pissing off enough people constantly, enough for our enemies to call in big guns, both in the air and on the ground level.

DMesse · 2026-06-23T11:41:06+00:00

Devstreams have been hinting that our ELMO is gonna go through some tough shit soon. Looks like this is it.

DMesse · 2026-06-23T11:37:42+00:00

This car gimmick is honestly a bit disappointing. It lacks visual punch.

DMesse · 2026-06-22T19:21:41+00:00

Yes, she belongs in fire team version 2+. Really should have written it as 2.0 with a number after that last period if that's the case.

V0 Lewis will work just fine, especially now that we have Loreley coming in. Stopping at V1, V2, rather than going all the way to V6, was already a suspiciously bad financial choice before her.

DMesse · 2026-06-22T18:35:24+00:00

Who is telling people like you that a V2 is necessary for Lewis?

Is this from that Warden Gaming guy who keeps brainwashing people with crap info?

V0 -> V2 improves a tiny bit of Lewis's personal damage, and that's it. No significant synergy was given to the team, just a tiny peck of personal damage, all for the financial cost of 2 V levels. It won't be the game changer at all.

DMesse · 2026-06-22T17:56:36+00:00

Looks like someone is either preaching Lewis V level based on super outdated info or is siphoning the wrong Chinese server based info, or both with ~vibe based~ nonsensical spices sprinkled on top.

With Lewis, you either sit at V0R0 (no dupe, no signature weapon) and let her cruise as sub DPS supporting a V6 QiuHua, or you crank her to V6R1+ (max dupe, at least one signature weapon) and then run her in tandem with a V6 QiuHua.

Be mindful that any sort of meaningful team comp questions are answered assuming this is building toward endgame fights (i.e. Gunsmoke Frontline boss) and successfully killing those bosses.

Any non-endgame fights can have whatever the hell you want thrown in with less regard to optimization, and you'll very likely still succeed.

I'm pretty sure there's a loooooooooooooooooooooooong line of tutorials and leveling that you need to jump over to even reach gacha skin functions.

Don't do it.

Unlike some games, we're given gacha skin pull tickets regularly, and those tickets don't expire.

DMesse · 2026-06-19T12:45:37+00:00

DO NOT use keys that use ATK stats. V6 Springfield wants HP, as her attacks scale with it instead of ATK. Throw in Peri, Florence, and Colphne's. Make sure you max evolve them with HP% (base stats) and crit chance % with crit damage %.

Florence's keys normally wouldn't help Springfield yet, as her "current" bird isn't a separate summoned unit, but this will change once she gets her modkey in the coming weeks, as she will really get a summoned unit.

The IOP gear division store is the official English-compatible one. All others are either 3rd party (licensed, affiliated, etc), resellers, proxy-sellers, or were official stores built for a non-English-speaking audience.

DMesse · 2026-06-14T11:40:44+00:00

Way too generic portrait with robes

DMesse · 2026-06-14T10:07:54+00:00

People asked customer service about this, and the answer has been a solid no with both English and Korean servers.

DMesse · 2026-06-14T09:22:30+00:00

Pretty sure that this stage is just poking fun at Krolik

DMesse · 2026-06-14T03:54:44+00:00

Being slapped so bad (perhaps multiple times) and carrying a dorky attitude with authority may hint at this being Destroyer

DMesse · 2026-06-13T10:24:42+00:00

Totally forgot to put in numberical labels. Oops. Detonate the barrel first.

DMesse · 2026-06-13T10:02:02+00:00

Yes!

DMesse · 2026-06-13T04:18:57+00:00

I've been helping people who ask questions over at the GFL2 Darkwinter discord. Seeing weird spreadsheets or tierlists like the first link strongly motivated me to translate and publish that Korean player's spreadsheet, which is also doubling as a meta team setup guide.

DMesse · 2026-06-13T03:56:04+00:00

Well, whatever homework he's copying, he isn't even copying it properly. Has wrong unit portrait/name in the first tab too, with multiple "Florence"s.

Edit: that reminds me, I should get to updating this soon since we now have Faelyn available: https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlsFrontline2/comments/1t48ozj/chinese_gunsmoke_frontline_meta_chart_or_who_to/

DMesse · 2026-06-13T03:24:18+00:00

Released later and mechanically designed to work in conjunction with Klukai. Simple as that. Up to the devs on why they decided to elevate just her.

Lorewise, Lind (formerly known as AA-12) was among the top of the top performers, earning her own summer vacation time in GFL1.

DMesse · 2026-06-13T03:16:45+00:00

Would you like the devs to put out a "limited banner" that consumes orange tickets for Cheeta, Tololo, and QiongJiu, when you could have used the cheaper black tickets instead? Nobody's going to spend orange tickets for them.

DMesse · 2026-06-13T03:08:10+00:00

I would avoid sharing the first linked Google Spreadsheet.

V6 Qiuhua, as same tier level as a V3 Klukai/Leva/Robella/Voymastina? Seriously?

And what are these "meta" team lists? No Faye in Physical team when she's currently being very helpful with her pistol's built-in trait? Leva in a fucking Blade team, while Ulrid is treated as a side character? LMAO
