I keep hearing Marina is best sniper

[(Shadow)]

what are her chances of her showing up in the recruit list? is it random or is it after a certian chapter?

[Zeon08]

first list

[iGeMiNix]

From my experience it is random. On my PS3, I had her as my first recruit choices and on my PC save I didn't. Maybe there is a certain chapter when they appear, but I'll leave that to the others to answer.

[Harukage]

I got Marina among the first recruits. Random is so random.

[(Shadow)]

so, if i make a save right before i beat the mission i can constantly reload until i get her right? I heard people said they re-loaded and it changed the troops everytime.

[Hunt3rXIII]

yes, reload and the list will change.

[(Shadow)]

sweet i'll do that after i finish the desert mission then.

Marina <3

Oh the irony.. I just posted a thread about how terrible my sniper was last night. When i read this thread, i was like "Wait...."

.. Yep. poor Marina. missed 6 shots in a row.

[Sugoi]

Marina and Lynn are the best. And since they're easily unlocked DLC characters for VC2 and 3, you can have them always and forever. :3

Marina is my best sniper but i did well with cezary and cahterine

Success!

I had no idea her appearance was random. Every time I've ever played this game, Marina and Catherine were my first two sniper choices.

I always thought that was purposeful, since Marina works best alone and Catherine works best around others.

[Rin]

I didn't get Vyse on my first list. Meh, ah well. Time to use some popular but highly inefficient characters just for fun. i.e. Edy.

[Terra]

It's random. My sniper recruits were Cerazy and some other guy who didn't look great.

Her Battle Potentials are sick!

Nest Master - Shooting from a position at the top of a ladder grants increased attack power.
Extra shot - They can occasionally follow up an attack by loading one more round of ammunition.
Penetrator - Their attacks can occasionally ignore the target's defense.
Ultimate Accuracy - Their firing accuracy is greatly enhanced on a permanent basis.

basically later in the game she always hit her targets, and, occasionally she get to fire an extra time or ignore all armor.
so, yeah, the perfect sniper!
