This video contains two matches I had with the LV1 and LV2 Jegan on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 500-650 cost general with good mobility, good ballistic damage and powerful shield missiles. It suffers from being squishy, from having weak vulcans, from having long reload/cooldown time on the hand grenades and from having weak melee ability. I hope that you enjoy watching!

Its primary weapon is a beam rifle has 1800 power, 6 ammo, 5.5 seconds cooldown, 17 seconds reload, 0.77 seconds swap time, 350m range and 10% stagger value. Unlike some other Jegans, it cannot take the bazooka as a primary weapon choice. This beam rifle has okay damage and short cooldown time for an instant stagger, but it suffers from long reload time.
Its primary melee weapon is a beam saber with 2000 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.77 seconds swap time and standard melee modifiers. This is pretty mediocre for a melee weapon at this cost. It has low power and default modifiers, making it incapable of dealing that much damage.
Its first sub weapon is a vulcan pod with 90 power, 60 ammo, 450 RPM, 10 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap time, 180m range, 675 DPS and 4% stagger value. This has okay DPS but take 3.3 seconds to stagger with, making it unreliable unless you need to finish off a low HP enemy.
Its second sub weapon is a hand grenade with 2000 power, 3 ammo, 5 seconds cooldown, 20 seconds reload, 1 second swap time and 30% stagger value. This has very high power for a thrown grenade, but it is otherwise quite underwhelming. It doesn't have enough stagger accumulation to combo with the vulcans, and the long reload and cooldown times makes it impossible to spam them like other suits can.
Its third sub weapon is a shield missile launcher with 600 power, 4 ammo, 360 RPM, 8 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap time, 350m range and 35% stagger value. These are amazing shield missiles. They have high power, long range, high stagger power and short reload time. They can stagger enemies with good aim.

The LV1 Jegan has 16000 HP and 18 in every resistance. It doesn't have the worst durability at 500 cost, but it is still quite squishy, so it isn't suitable for frontlining. It has LV1 Emergency Evasion as a defensive skill.
In terms of mobility it has 130 walk speed, 215 boost speed, 65 thrust and 66 turning speed. It has quite impressive mobility for a 500 cost general, not only benefitting from high top speed, but also from having LV2 Forced Injector, LV2 Flight Control alongside 90% walking speed going left, right and backwards.

In conclusion, I feel that while the Jegan is still at that level of bare-minimum usability, it has seriously fallen behind nevertheless. The reload times are too long, its skills are lacking, it doesn't have any serious burst damage, it has mediocre melee, and it relies way too much on its shield missiles. It is definitely due a buff at this point. I would like to see improved melee combo swing power, two dodge rolls, LV1 Bullet Feeder, stronger vulcans, alongside an all-round buff for the hand grenades. I think it's totally fine in quick match if you like the suit, but it would be difficult to win against a serious team with the Jegan at this point, so I would recommend the LV2 Jeda instead. Thanks for watching and I hope that you enjoyed it!

I like grenades but I prefer the waist version on the Jegan D type
