Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium/Basics
Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium — how it works
Exilium is a turn-based tactics RPG. You field a squad of T-Dolls on a grid, using cover, positioning and the Phase / weapon-type weakness system to break enemy Stability and burst them down. This page covers the systems the tier list and doll pages refer to.
Classes
Every T-Doll belongs to one of four classes, which sets her role in the formation:
BulwarkFront-line protector — draws fire, holds cover, shores up team Stability. 6 dolls.
VanguardMobile bruiser — closes distance and trades blows up close. 11 dolls.
SentinelRanged damage dealer — high single-target or area burst from the back line. 27 dolls.
SupportHealing, shields, buffs and off-turn assist fire. 20 dolls.
Phases (elements)
Skills apply a Phase, tied to Collapse Particle effects. Attacks with no Phase count as Physical. Hitting an enemy with the Phase it is weak to deals extra damage and Stability damage — matching Phases to enemy weaknesses is the core of team-building.
BurnDamage-over-time pressure. 12 dolls.
CorrosionDefense shred and stacking debuffs. 12 dolls.
HydroControl and displacement. 10 dolls.
FreezeSlows, Frost Barrier shields, Frozen / Frigid. 9 dolls.
ElectricPositive / Negative Charge and Voltage tiles. 7 dolls.
PhysicalNo Phase — raw damage, no weakness interaction. 13 dolls.
Omni / ResonanceAdapts to battlefield conditions. 1 dolls.
Weapon types
A doll can wield any weapon of her assigned type. The types group into five ammo/armour classes for weakness matching: Light (Handgun, SMG), Medium (Assault Rifle), Heavy (Rifle, Machine Gun), Shotgun, and Melee (Blade).
| Type | Class | Dolls |
|---|---|---|
| Handgun | Light | 8 |
| SMG | Light | 13 |
| Assault Rifle | Medium | 19 |
| Rifle | Heavy | 10 |
| Machine Gun | Heavy | 4 |
| Shotgun | Shotgun | 6 |
| Blade | Melee | 4 |
Rarity & roster
T-Dolls come in two rarities: Standard (10) and Elite (54). Rarity sets base stats and dupe requirements; it is not a power tier on its own. This site covers all 64 dolls in the game data — 56 on the global build and 8 currently only on the Chinese server (each flagged on its page). loadoutgg's own tier ranking is separate and still being gathered.
Skills & Confectance Index
Each doll has a Basic Attack, two active Skills, an Ultimate and a Passive; some also carry an extra conditional skill. The Ultimate spends Confectance Index — a 0–max resource built by acting and taking/dealing hits. Cooldowns are counted in turns. Effect names, %s, tile ranges, cooldowns and Confectance costs on the doll pages are the game's own numbers, relayed from the game-client data and reworded; the source's tier lists and build guides are not used.
Neural Helix
The Neural Helix is a per-doll node grid, unlocked at Commander Level 15 and bought with Sardis Gold and Transcription Conductors. It has 13 nodes: Enhancement nodes give flat Attack / Defense / Health / Health Boost; Evolved nodes (4, 7 and 10) each grant two Fixed Keys for Key Regulation — you pick one to keep; every second Evolved node also adds Attack / Health / Defense Boost. The final node hands a Common Key into the shared pool, and some dolls have a 14th node holding their Expansion Key.
The Neural Helix is a stat-and-key upgrade — it does not touch a doll's skills. The Lv.2 / Lv.3 skill clauses on each doll page come from Neural Fortification (see below), a separate, dupe-fed system.
Keys
Keys are equippable modules, set in Key Regulation (Commander Level 15). A doll runs three Fixed Keys, three Common Keys, her Expansion Key if she has one, and — since the Deep Oblivion update — one Affinity Key. Fixed Keys (also called Exclusive Keys) are doll-specific; they unlock from the Evolved nodes of her Neural Helix and at Bond 5. Common Keys (Universal Keys) are a shared pool of small flat-stat modules — roughly +2–5% to a pair of stats, purple ones with a light conditional bonus — earned from events, finishing a Neural Helix, or reaching Bond 5. Purple and gold Common Keys can be Evolved (Universal Chain Keys + Sardis Gold) to raise the stats and unlock an extra one. Expansion Keys (Peak Keys) are the kit-changers — one per doll that has one, unlocked with a dedicated item. The full Expansion Key list:
| Expansion Key | Attributes | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute Defense's Essence | When using the active skill Perfect Cover, gains Absolute Defense. | |
| Aerial Bunny Assault | For every 1 tile moved before an attack, the critical rate and critical damage of the attack is increased by 5%, to a maximum increase of 15%. | |
| Algorithmic Stack | At the end of the Simulacrum's action, pulls all enemy units on the field Tow 1 tile toward it and deals 2 points of Stability damage. After Lainie or the Simulacrum makes an active attack, if the enemy target has 3 stacks of Parapluie's Penetration, applies Mirror Cache to it; if the enemy target has 6 stacks of Parapluie's Penetration, the final damage Mirror Cache accumulates is increased to 25%, and the next active attack Lainie or the Simulacrum makes this turn deals 30% more damage with 30% more Crit DMG. Before Lainie or the Simulacrum makes an active attack, if the enemy target has Mirror Cache, triggers that effect, and her active attack damage multiplier is permanently increased by 15%, up to 90%. | |
| Algorithmic Stack | The effect of Parapluie's Penetration is improved: defense reduction is further increased by 6%. When Lainie uses Victory Protocol, Combat Algorithm, or Computational Crush, or when her Simulacrum uses Perplexed Reflex, Offense Simulation, or Hashrate Overclock, for each point of Confectance Index Lainie possesses, critical damage dealt by Lainie and her Simulacrum is increased by 15%. While her Simulacrum is alive, the mobility of Lainie and her Simulacrum is increased by 2 tiles. | |

The Weapons page lists every Elite and Standard weapon.
Neural Fortification ("Fortification Segments") — dupe-fuelled upgrades that add clauses to a doll's skills.
Affinity — raising a doll's Affinity grants stat and resource bonuses and unlocks her Fixed Keys.
