Analysis

The M870 is an obtainable shotgun from the story event Continuum Turbulence. She has the currently unique skill to shotguns that generates a rapidly degenerating force shield.

M870's base stats are decent and she can be considered usable without tiles or skill in mind. Her tiles give a fair amount of much needed FP with some Accuracy on top. Although the orientation forces the MGs to stay close together, leaving no room for SAA^HG or Spitfire^HG to sit in between, there are plenty other ways to fit your HGs in the formation, like Gr Mk23^HG and K5^HG in the middle column for example.

M870's Highway to Hell is a damage reduction skill similar to FP-6^SG's. She gains a defense shield, where every 100 defense she has, she reduces the damage taken by 10%. In short, she has 100% damage reduction for the first second, which reduces by 10% every second. With this in mind, she can nullify the attack of anything (including Goliath+) if timed right. The only downside to this skill is its lengthy 10s initial CD and that it only reduces damage after armor.

Good base stats, tile buffs and a skill with a solid niche, M870 is a solid SG to have. She is Recommended.
