Metal Slug: Awakening – Saya Guide (Guns, Accessories and Cores)

Guide to Saya

By Xpectation

Saya is a very good zoner. She puts down her turret & the enemy has to decide to wait or go in & take DMG. She is really good in Peak Of Glory due to this.

Weapons: (Any Debuff)

Saya can use any gun; But in my opinion she works best with a longer range gun. This way she can plant her turret on a flag, and then snipe people from afar.

Eclipse (Sniper)

• If the sniper is 2 or 3 stars, she can snipe people from afar and be so annoying with zoning because of all the bounces & her turret.

Sky Ripper (Gatling)

• Same as sniper, firing many bullets from afar.

Soaring Bow (Bow)

• These bullets can curve, so she can stand on top of a platform and curl her bullets to hit enemies, while being safe from getting hit herself.

Howler (Combo Shotgun)

• Combine your Howler with your turret to burst enemies very quickly.

Accessories

Shark Hand Cannon:

• “Shark Turret lasts 4 seconds longers.”

Cores

When supporting Lyla make sure to only have 1 support with JO2 cores and 1 with Steelworm cores. The JO2 cores don’t stack on multiple characters!

Support Cores (No Lyla)

• 2x Fallwalker Core:
  • “ATK of all deployed characters is increased by 6% while the character is a member of the team.”
• 4x Steel Worm Destroyer Core:
  • “All characters on the squad will have their ATK increased by 15% for ten seconds when the character enters the combat. occurs once every 20 seconds. & Boost the ATK of all deployed characters by 10% while the character is a member of the squad.”

Note: she can also run defensive cores for Peak Of Glory, depending on your playstyle.

Khepri’s Glory (Saw Launcher):

• Nice for extra zoning (I ran out of space sorry max 2000 characters per msg).
