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

Guide to Scarlett

By Xpectation

Scarlett can use the ‘enhanced weapon’-state whenever she fires back a tennisball. She works best with long ranged guns. But in some scenarios you can also run a shotgun on her to have a quick burst.

Weapons (Wound/Ignite Debuff)

Eclipse (Sniper):

The best gun for Scarlet. She can poke from afar with her sniper shots aswell as her tennisballs.

Howler (Combo Shotgun):

This gun is great to have to do big bursts of damage. You do this by alternating her abilities with her shotgun shots. Ability-shoot-ability-shoot- ,… The only downside is you have to be close to the target, so the Sniper is a safer option. Use this gun instead if you don’t have sniper.

Terra Shrill ( Bazooka):

The worst gun of the 3. If Scarlett is your main DPS in your main team, you should really go for Eclipse or Howler instead. Only use Bazooka if you have no other option available, or if she is in your second rift team.
