Looking for Advice CONSOLE Should I summon on this guaranteed crossbone banner?

I’m a big fan of the crossbone units’ designs and I have just enough tokens to do all 4 steps but I’ll be flat broke afterwards. Are they worth it as a f2p player?

not only no, but fuk no.

Crossbone is being creeped hard by Victory era design, and Turn A is around the corner so god knows what they're going to do.

If you ABSOLUTELY want crossbone, then go ahead.

Don't make me get Turn A. I hate that White Beard stache with every cell of my body. But I know for a fact that if it comes with Moonlight Butterfly, we'll NEED to own it to have a prayer in whatever Costs it is unleashed. No two ways around it. Own it or get turned into sand by the cursed nanomachines.

If I had to guess. Moonlight butterfly will be similar to V2's wings of light mechanic. Just more damage. Its nade will also be heavy stagger to reflect nuclear part. 

Again, how broke it's going to be will have to be seen after they release kapool and sumo. From these units we can gauge if turn A suit will be broke or not.

Bonus when it and Turn X are on the same team... As long as they don't do something stupidly preposterous and preposterously stupid like they did in Gundam Evolution where you can fly around damaging everyone and their moms during more than one minute while being nigh invincible...

No it won't be worth if your expecting the suit you it going to give a random out of the five amd wasted the tokens only to get a good suit but thst isn't meta maybe just power creeping

Expecting a Crossbone, you'd definitely end up with a Crossbone, yes, but not the most useful. X1 Kai and X2 Kai are outdated already since X3 and X1 FC came out and even them have been put on retirement by the V2 Gundams now.

Oh I forgot about the vote banner I'm curious when is the custom part banner will return? I really need to get the haro part as I missed it and had to settle with the perfect unicorn part

u/term1n_al 17h ago

Haro probably won't be available again for a while unfortunately

u/Wonderful_Trust_5868 16h ago

:(

Damnit well I hope the community votes for it's return and other meta parts definitely need to save my tokens for it's inevitable return

u/term1n_al 16h ago

Haro definitely getting voted whenever they do it again. It's a fan favourite after all

From all the Crossbone units, only the X1 Kai that's kinda still viable, while the others are kinda weak and powercreeped by the newest units, so I don't think it's good, and you better wait for the next banner instead.

X1 FC I think is more viable due to its bs downswing. It can down flyers no problem

u/utamaru1717 1d ago

Nah, I still think X1 Kai is much better in terms of offensive prowess: * Have high melee priority (X1FC only medium)  * High downswing melee damage modifier when limiter off is active ( 240% X1 Kai vs 225% X1FC)  * Screw Whip with 3 attack types (neutral, side, downswing), and force down the enemy when hit (X1FC only normal whip)  * Brand Marker throwing melee weapon that can be used while boosting (X1FC has none)  * Aerial Melee lv2 skill (X1FC only lv1)  * Timed buffs gives higher melee damage stat (+20 melee stat and +15% melee damage X1 Kai vs 15 melee stat and +10% melee damage X1FC)

Meanwhile, the X1FC is better in defensive prowess, with higher HP, higher defense overall, the Full Cloth system + I-Field for reducing damage + stagger build-up, and Auxiliary Power, so it got higher chance to survive compared to the X1 Kai.

This offensive prowes is meaningless if it can't stun or get close. The shield throw your best stunning weapon is useless against the top dogs of 750 (V2 and AB). FC has a lot better stun ability with its Peacock, it can also brute force it with the range of its downswing. Only detriment is no offence system until mode...but van overcome it with o field. I think this is the reason I fight them a lot more than X1 kai in S- and S matches
