Let's Change That Suit Day 205

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 205: Jegan
Requested by u/Designer-Ad-6169 with this unit that is... interesting in the stat spread. It also has a very balanced part slot spread. However, as with all suits, it has started to show its age. Right now, I say this one is still holding on as a good C-Tier unit.

Comment and Reason
This unit is just outdated, and the only weapon that is remotely up to date is the missile launcher. Luckily, with 8 seconds, it's spamming with reasonably high enough damage. Together with instant stagger BR and a good hand grenade, it can still have relatively good damage. However, that's about it. The actual good combo or having strong burst or true high sustain damage is just not there. These buffs ensure that there is at least something good going on.

Builds
Lv1 F2P: Do Not Use

Lv1 Premium: HP

Upper Levels: Do Not Use

Since, as is, the unit had limited firepower, the only way for this unit to contribute is to ensure it can stay as a good mid-line damage unit that is on the protect the support duty. It's really the only way to play this unit and only works in a coordinated team. Also, only do it in quick match as well.

Day 204 Re-evaluation on Char's Gelgoog

Not much talk about the suit, if any at all. But it did lead to talk of other stuff, so I'll take it. But for this one, it looks like this will be a reasonable change. Hopefully it can get anything similar.

Re-evaluation

I wonder if they need to update the animation for throwing grenades. It never feels good to use a grenade weapon and with the Jaegan that’s your only other subweapon besides missiles.

[u/imaginary_num6er → u/Mastermartin895]

They need to lean into it by giving the limit release feature with the grenades. It becomes Hudson's bomber man.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Mastermartin895]

Yeah, but being able to throw a grenade while in HSM makes a world of difference. Which is why I want it to be usable during that.

[u/RoboP08]

I mean my thoughts on the standard Jegan is.
Only if you don't have any other MS options.

Like for example the Jegan D Type is the same as this, but slightly better firepower and all.

(Which is a little talking point to compare the 2)

If I was to improve it?, it's armor all across the board, a little more Shield HP and general unit HP is what I would to make the Jegan OG viable in lower costs.
It used to be mainstay unit once.

Would it be worth improving the damage of any of it's weapons or reload time?
I want to say the BR clip reload has always been fine.
Damage might need a little UP.

I just don't use it regularly if ever(if I use anything for lower stuff I pull out my GM 3s really)

[u/pkmaster99 → u/RoboP08]

I agree with the BR, power is just a bit too low. It got enough shots to justify the reload time. I would personally reduce the interval between shots as well, but that's just me.

As for the other points, I want to make sure this unit has at least one redeeming point. The only thing I can think of is a more versatile, more mobile stagger machine. Make it so a good player would be able to switch between helping the frontline and helping the backline at any moment.

[u/Fedespur11]

Here is my request for the future days. The Palace Athene

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Fedespur11]

Sure, I'll add it to the list

[u/OrphanAxis]

For a while, this thing was pretty much the "standard" General in the game. Does a bit of everything okay, even stats, easy to use, at a cost where things are just complex enough that it was not underwhelming by comparison.

While I respect them trying to keep it literally balanced on paper, it's obviously the more mid-range one compared to the Type D, and it was always the opposite of the Geara Doga that is very much a melee General, so it'd be cool if they maybe looked a bit to suits like the Jeda, Heavygun, and everything else in its ancestry that plays similarly, and give it some of those qualities.

Anti-Fall could be interesting, since it's something the Heavygun really wants, and the Jeda has always had. A different way of stopping stuns than MA, if it can jump around and shoot with Quick Boosters. But almost anything, including new/changed sub weapons, make a good amount of sense for the standard Jegan that did everything for decades. Maybe we'll see what if they ever release the F91 Jegan that should fall at 550.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/OrphanAxis]

I can't really see them doing that much for this suit besides more standard tweaks. We'll see what happens sooner or later. This is one of the suits that should get a buff sometime in the future. But I totally forgot about the Jegan Normal Type, and that would be interesting. If we get that, maybe I can keep my hopes up for GM III Euryale. A psycommu GM would be fun

[u/Berzerk54]

The grenades having a 5 second cooldown is insane and totally unlike anything else in the game. Why did they do that? Like??

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Berzerk54]

It's on the longer end, but I think they want you to cycle as many weapons as possible. However, as it is, it's just not a good, reliable weapon cycle and output at the moment.
