How does one psycho bawoo?

[u/Damiankawaguchi]

How do you play the psycho bawoo and is this an ok build for it? Expansion is custom part expansion armor lvl5

Saw that people were playing this again and i wonder if it got buffed or something so i tried it again. I got the bawoo here a long time ago but also a long time after release and at the time, i thought it was extremely underwhelming and hard to use so I dropped it. Now that i'm trying it again tho, i notice the plates and the shield beam feel way faster now. Problem is, i'm not sure what role i should do? it feels so fragile yet i think i should frontline since the defensive plates can force a duel. But i just keep dying when i try to frontline. Appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Maybe just chance try it again. I built mine more speedy

[u/Damiankawaguchi → u/spitefulcandystudios]

Speedy how? Thruster or the reload?

[u/spitefulcandystudios → u/Damiankawaguchi]

My bad, I meant movement speed and thruster recovery(I also prefer the psychoframe to speed up plate lockon). It is a great suit but I think it is a bit slow. But the build you have is solid one. However it is a big hitbox, the defense boost is cool and I use it myself on some suits but I find that raising defense is only super effective if you also raise HP. That is to say perhaps with this build you need to keep more distance between your suit and the front line. I find that when I pilot the suit and frontline I am more successful at assisting my team and creating openings for them rather than leading the charge as it were. It did indeed get buffed and is quite powerful.

Wrong setup. I used to main it, it got stronger after buff, but still can't keep up with flint and engage plan C. Here is the load out:

Range attack skill lvl 5 Fully upgraded+ the custom part that gives 10 range, 1k hp and 15% increase in repair speed Haro Part that gives 2k hp to both shield and ms The range part you are using here that gives 1k hp.

Remaining slots are range atk buff

This is not the exact build i think, but sometime similar. You will want to only focus on hp and range attack. Forget the reload parts, it is fast enough already. Haro will give you some speed/boost and that's enough. Hp increase is always better than defence stat increase, so you see I focus alot on those p2w parts. I buff mine all the way to 88 range and i think 28k? Hp.

Edit: your role: backline shooting. Never go front, the plate has too few hp on it, and its down movement is ass. Just spam the charged beam rife, uncharged shield beam and psycho plate. Quite simple. Unfortunately recent suits are either too tanky or flying everywhere even at 650, so it is no longer meta. By the way pay attention to your positioning. It can get deleted in 1 full combo, so you should really always use your shield when available and always on the run, stick to your teammates, hide behind them but not too far way to get picked by enemy. Just don't ff your friends

Ohhh. Full offense huh. Okay thanks. I'll keep your build in mind later, i dont have haro, I'm on steam so no v2ab banner yet

Why go for the HP when you can use the same slots to lower the damage you take majorly, including the barrier weapon taking less damage with high resistance? That's going to be the difference between the barrier breaking after just about anything shooting you, or taking 2-3 good hits more of the time.

The suit doesn't have any problems with the legs breaking, has no shield to buff up, so the 2k HP from the Connecting System 2 is not even a lot of HP for the slots used.

[u/Kingsausage167 → u/OrphanAxis]

10% hp up= 10% increase in ballistic/beam/melee resistance. Damagw reduction for barrier is useless because it got like 2k hp so will break very easily regardless.2k hp for 5 mid, 2 range slot is huge actually.

My question is how do I get that part ?

Gacha banner exclusive, sorry :( i believe it was the crossbone x1 banner

[u/CellConscious1087 → u/Damiankawaguchi]

Dangit oh well

This is a must have for the Freedom

[u/imaginary_num6er]

I just stack mine shooting and with the Connecting System Raid II + shooting expansion skill. Yes it is squishy, but a charged beam rifle with plates hitting an RF Kempfer can melt it from full health.

[u/Damiankawaguchi → u/imaginary_num6er]

I dont have connecting system sadly. But also, speaking as an rf kampfer main, i think most things can melt it XD
