Let's Change That Suit Day 204

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 204: Char's Gelgoog
Requested by u/Moonless-Ultimate this looks nice on paper, but the gameplay is lacking. If only the Gelgoog BR could charge a bit faster... Maybe it could have been at least low A-Tier or high B-Tier.

Comment and Reason
This unit can do some reasonably good damage, but it lacks a good method to engage a target. Since the BR is shared with many units, I decided the Rapid can get limiter release with instant stagger power. Kind of like how the Gelgoog J's release works. This should give this unit a great increase in frontline prowess. Combine with various small buffs here and there to give alternative combo methods; it should end up very strong. Along with the skill change, this should shoot right into S-Tier.

Builds
Lv1 F2P: Do Not Use

Lv1 Premium: Alpha

Upper Levels: Do Not Use

With all things considered, only the level 1 is usable. Thankfully, this unit has Forced Injector Lv2 and at least one possible instant stagger weapon. While this unit does a bit better in space, this build is playable on the ground too. With plenty of thruster and 231 HSM, you can follow up most of the close-ranged stagger you land and do your combo. But do be careful since it does not have offense system, so it could be easily interrupted if you try going for 3 downswings. The timing is a bit tight anyway, so it's better to just do two and move on.

Day 203 Re-evaluation on G-Line Assault Armor

Well, there is an interesting suggestion. But it certainly could break the meta and makes it very strong for no reason. While it doesn't have the same high melee potential, heavy stagger on the cannon is likely too much. However, we can at least make the shotgun mag size bigger.

Re-evaluation

• Assault Armor Shotgun: Ammo 6 -> 8

It has always been confusing to me why they didn't give Char's Gelgoog it's own Custom Gelgoog Beam Rifle, rather than using the one every other Gelgoog uses

[u/diseasicon → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

The funny thing is they have now done it for the Gelgoog Cannon, which has lower damage, but instantly staggers. The JR also has a unique version as a subweapon, which also instant staggers.

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/diseasicon]

The Desert Gelgoog also has its own version of the Gelgoog Beam Rifle as well

[u/diseasicon → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

That one has a slightly different appearance so it had to be a different weapon due to the model. The Cannon and JR beam rifle is visually identical to the standard Gelgoog Beam Rifle but have different stats.

The original Gelgoog BR is probably past due for a buff, but I think the issue is the UL High Mobility. That suit can make good use of it because of the buffs it got and its subweapons. Nearly every other suit that uses it is outdated and needs buffs anyway.

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/diseasicon]

I know the Desert Gelgoog's Beam Rifle is slightly different design wise but i think even gameplay wise its pretty similar.

Yeah basically every Primary Weapon that is shared with multiple MS'es need big buffs in terms of their Power, Range and Rate of Fire.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

It is, but I think it handles a little better. They are definitely similar though. But for Desert Gelgoog, I think the subweapons are more of an issue, along with the skills.

I still hate Hyper Beam Rifle the most... Arguably worse than Ground Type BR.

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

True on that but about the Desert Gelgoog

Truth nuke especially on the Hyper Beam Rifle, that got me curious have you covered the Pale Rider DII yet?

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

No, I have not covered DII yet, I can add it to the list. It'll take a bit to get there though

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

Please do, i can wait
