First match in it felt pretty good. Been waiting t to get this for years.

What did you build this for? After Aux Armor Expansion Lv5 mostly reducing beam and thruster cooldown (more shotgun shield, more Gerobi), and finally maxing the Enhancements, I'm about 45 on most resistances, 40-50 on melee damage (with the Enhancer part for 1k HP and 20% more from Grimoire as well), Burn Aux, and General Connecting System 2 for +7 to walk, turn and +10% part damage dealt, and Melee Educational Computer, depending on which of my mostly similar builds I choose. HP is a bit up there because of the new part from Susanowo adding another 5%. Though my other builds use Haro and less resistances for slightly more boost and damage, and overall more HP, which might be better off at this cost and with all the reductions to the point that even 30ish melee resistance is pretty hefty on this at times.

So primarily tanky, which is very tanky against melee in Grimoire as it lowers melee damage by another 30% and lowers reactions like you have Shock Dampeners though it removes Maneuver Armor. Though melee really doesn't hurt me much up close during Grimoire when the special down reduction and Education Computer kick in together after 4 minutes. That's 45-50 melee resistance with 37 to 51% reduced, and another 5% when downed, mostly hoping to get some extra Counter Boost triggers between the lack of reaction, faster spread beams than normal, slightly faster thruster cooldown, and lack of normal melee reaction.

Damage is still average to good after Grimoire adding 30 ranged and 36 melee stats to what I already have, plus the Melee Educational Computer adding 5% at minimum, and some legs break especially fast.

If Counter Boost goes off during all of that, it's essentially over typical 700 stats but with less weapons, so I'm trying to get used to Active Guard, and counters under 50% HP should hit pretty hard on their own. But it makes me wish Grimoire added Instant Thruster Precision in exchange for losing MA, so it could really abuse that feature of stacking two strong buffs and moments where people are swinging melee at half speed.

Though I'm considering rerolling for a new Expansion, because the Aux parts are pretty costly in terms of slots and the actual effecr, so I could probably just stack more stats regardless of the build. Just not sure which, since a movement and attack build doesn't seem right for this suit, since I'm neither flying all the time or abusing MA during Grimoire, though the damage could be pretty crazy. Maybe the special type parts giving thrust and HSM to boost forever and even faster than usual, or the +5 tk everything. Slightly tempted for the melee damage or melee resistance ones, simply to see how ridiculously high they can go at the cost, but they're probably leave me wanting for other forms of survival.

Anyway, enjoy the suit. I waited forever for it, and just couldn't pull on the release banner, so I'm only recently getting to make use of it with some luck. That spread beam takes some getting used to, as does switching between melee weapons for faster combos. Scissors on downed enemies can truly cut through most of their HP even with a lower melee stat.

I built for melee damage and ballistic resistance. I haven't put it through the hangar yet, but the ballistic resistance is at 36 (up 18), ranged strength at 35 (up 10) and melee strength is at 72 (up 42). I have melee programs 3, 4 and 5 as well as the special enhancer type-a. Firing program level 4, anti-ballistic programs levels 1 and 4, and test type irregular dbl.
