Review

Apex Jackal Machine Collector is an improvement over her base version. She got a slew of buffs with the most impactful being lower cooldowns and a 30% ASPD buff after Special Skill.

In practice this means MC barely changed as her most impactful part (on-deploy DMG RES PEN buff to Mechs) has remained unchanged.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Noticeable upgrade.

Cons

  • Still does the same things as her base version, just slightly better.
