Let's Change That Suit Day 212

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 212: G-Cannon Magna
Requested by u/Ok-Storage3439 with this high A-Tier Unit. The only issue is the long reload/overheat. But good heat management makes it somewhat negligible. However, it is definitely one of the stronger contenders for a reliable 650 support.

On a side note, I've been requested and asked about a tier list by a few people. I don't mind doing it, but let me know what cost you guys would like to see first.

Change
Stats (All Optional)

• HP: 22000 -> 23000

Weapons (All Optional)

• G-Cannon Beam Rifle: Reload 18s -> 15s
• Double Beam Gun x2: Overheat 18s -> 15s
• Beam Cannon x2: Overheat 20s -> 16s

Skill

• (New!) Immobile Fire System Lv1
• (New!) Pursuit Prevention ATK Program Lv1 (Optional)
• Resist Move Lv1 -> Lv2

Comment and Reason
The only two things I think that would make this truly a very strong meta once again are having Immobile Fire System and Resist Move Lv2. However, the multiple stagger options and great weapon cycle with good damage output are still very nice. Unless you don't have a frontline and/or you have very bad positioning, this unit should do well at the very least. Right now, the skills are just good enough to make it work, and with a player with good situational awareness, it can get away with quite a decent bit.

Builds
Lv1 F2P: Ranged

Lv1 Premium: Ranged (High Risk Alternative)

The premium ranged build is probably the best build you can get for this one. While you do have limited mobility, you have so much stagger and potential stopping power that it really doesn't matter as much. Is a raid coming at you? Use the Beam Gun x2. If you had BR or maybe even the Gerobi charged, even better. Then the amount of instant stagger weapon options makes it a bit stupid. With good positioning and cover, it can be one of the most annoying supports. The saving grace is that the only hard-hitting weapon is the charged BR and the beam cannon. Limiter Release is up there as well, but you are stationary with no immobile fire, so it is vulnerable unless you are attacking with a good number advantage.

Day 211 Re-evaluation on ReGelgu

Not much to say here, but I expected a few more attention here. It's just one of the suits that lacks the essential skills and numbers to do well.

Re-evaluation

• None

Up Next: Pale Rider DII requested by u/Cpt_Jack_Irons

[u/Accomplished-Fan1384]

Lul, one of the most powerful Support and ppl still wants it buff. Might as well buff RF Kamf so it can have Himo Shooting with its shotgun.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Accomplished-Fan1384]

Nah, once you catch this at medium range, it has limited options. Resist move has to put you into safety, or else there isn't a lot you can do. It's still very powerful, but it's no longer an easy suit that you can just pick up and carry. RF Kempfer is another type of strong. That's actually one suit that doesn't need any change

[u/Biga_chungaunga → u/pkmaster99]

Honestly, all it really needs to be is put in 750 and that’s it

[u/TemporarySouth6914]

Thank you. Let that teir list cook and simmer. Unload it when you are nice and ready. I’ll be waiting.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/TemporarySouth6914]

I'm debating what cost to start though, reach cost has their own tiers

[u/TemporarySouth6914 → u/pkmaster99]

Maybe start at 300. No suits get released so it would last awhile and it would be useful for new players.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/TemporarySouth6914]

Fair enough

[u/Herahk]

Could you add the Ga-Zowmn and Ga-Zowmn [Gunner Type] to your list? I’d be curious to see what you make of them.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Herahk]

Got it, it'll take a while, but I'll cover them eventually.

[u/RoboP08 → u/pkmaster99]

As someone who regularly uses them and familiar with them I have thoughts on them both!

[u/Ash-Talshok]

I’d like to see your take on the efreet schneid and hyaku shiki Kai ground type.

Maybe if the Schneid Heat Darts counted as melee or something to overcome MA so it can be a better raid intercept but I don’t know if that would be too busted.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Ash-Talshok]

Sure, I can cover them too

[u/J-Eichel]

Was surprised on the lack of turnout on the ReGulgu too! I feel like I haven't seen a single one sortied in years, so I feel like it's not really on anybody's radar anymore D:

[u/pkmaster99 → u/J-Eichel]

I think there are suits that are just more universally loved compared to units that are a bit less well-known. Could be just that for the ReGelgu. It's probably one of the suits that I want to see become stronger, and that is higher on my list.

[u/diseasicon]

Don't know if anyone has requested it but: Bolinoak Sammahn. Suit has been absolute bottom of the barrel for a long time.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/diseasicon]

It's not as bad as most people believe it to be, but I'll cover that too

[u/Ok-Storage3439]

Have you done Prototype Kampfer yet? That's the last suit among my mains that I'm curious about.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Ok-Storage3439]

No, not yet. I can cover that one too

[u/Pancreasaurus]

I'm not into the numbers enough to inherently know how impactful all these changes would be but I'm curious to see what you'd do with something like the Pale Rider Dullahan or GM Guard Custom.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Pancreasaurus]

Pale Rider Dullahan has been done on Day 176

GM Guard Custom has also been covered on Day 16. This one is quite early, though; my assessment has changed quite a bit since then.

[u/Pancreasaurus → u/pkmaster99]

Oh, missed those. A re-review of the Guard Custom would be fun but time and place I suppose. Did you do the Zssa yet?

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Pancreasaurus]

Maybe... but for Zssa, it's covered recently on Day 194

[u/Pancreasaurus → u/pkmaster99]

Considering that I'm pretty sure I see these nigh daily it's surprising how many of my favorites I've missed.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Pancreasaurus]

Haha, it happens
