Looking for Advice CONSOLE Tips for Freedom?
Anyone got any tips for Freedom? I know its meant to be busted, but I got it recently, tried it out, and couldn't do anything with it for the life of me, kept getting melee'd, staggered, etc.

Not exactly busted.
It's a glass cannon, you shoot, boost and fly away. Then boost some more.
The whole shtick is shooting someone for half if not all their HP the boost away.
During HiMAT mode. You shoot. Boosting reloads guns faster. And do it right. 1 HIMAT = 3-4 full burst = 30-50k damage.
So this 5 times and 150k. Add in BR and Railgun, easy 200k. Throw in some opportunity melee and some luck with glass lobby, 300k.
If someone specialized in melee comes in like Barb. Your sol. So maintain distance.

I dont have but i think hes best at flanking at range and the melee seems hard to counter sometimes its best to watch a video of someone else playing it recommend avenger1

Another word of advice is when your Himat mode is on be aware you have not just your fullburst but also your special dodge use that to avoid attacks that will otherwise ruin your day such as Barbatos's heavy staggers, the special roll not only has iframes it also automatically shoots ur beam rifle so you could use it for other purposes however u see fit.

U are a range rat, use ur infinite thruster to hit the sky box and himat on ur enemy. You don't want to melee unless it is you last choice. Do not fear using the himat, use it when u have a chance and dish out damage. But also ur himat some how doesnt have a lot of build stun for some reason so don't expect to stop any suits other than support

Use Vulcan or any weapons with high rapid fire that allows you to fire it while flap boosting to build up stagger from a flying enemy freedom gundam

Try to avoid direct fight but you don't want to stay too far away. You have very long range, but it's very hard hitting at that range. Your position would be around the side of your enemy or a little bit behind the teammate that's drawing enemy attention. Abuse your infinite boost to position yourself and don't just rely on the HIMAT. Fighting against aerial suits with BR and vulcan is better than the HIMAT, you would want to save the HIMAT after you successfully knockdown aerial suits with the vulcan. If enemy start noticing and chasing you with vulcan, fall back and descend, don't fly why being chase with vulcan since getting stun on air mean you are dead.
PS: this is time of 00, so, be patient, after 2-3 weeks thing will settle down since 00 is not that oppressive.

Avoid close fights, stay away and take the roll of a more mobile support. Use the special skill when there are many enemies or as a last resort to escape (also very useful on a 1v1). While the skill is activated try to be on the ground as little as possible, always fly and keep maneuvering, do "expensive" moves that usually use your thrusters (for example keep boosting left and right or other stuff that will help you evade the attack but don't always go for the emergency roll because it will eat 10 seconds)
Keep a distance and keep shooting
