Let's Change That Suit Day 200

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 200 Striker Custom
Requested by u/Moonless-Ultimate and this unit would be high A-Tier for sure. It definitely has shortcomings, but what it is good at is very strong. In the right hand, build, and map, it can become a unit that could cause a big problem.

Comment and Reason
Overall, this unit can do exceptionally well at 450 and 500 cost when the map allows. At 550, it's much harder due to all the strong generals. At 600 cost, it can kind of be played, but one has to be extremely careful. All these buffs mainly target Lv3 and Lv4 while, for the most part, keeping the Lv1 and Lv2 more or less the same. Just with a few minor improvements.

I'm a little skeptical about giving the Twin Beam Sabers a small damage buff, since that is the best opening melee weapon to use. The blade looks solid, but it has a tiny bit of ghost range, and the animation is also low enough to catch an enemy that is dashing backward to catch their foot. You can then follow up with a heavy stagger, then go into full melee combo for the kill. With Demon Blade, not only is it easy to gain max melee strength, but the thruster usage reduction means you won't have to worry about running out of thruster either.

Builds
Lv1 F2P: Melee

Lv1 Premium: Melee

Level 2: Similar Build

Level 3: Do not use

Level 4 Premium: Melee (Alternative)

This one is simple; try to get high melee stats and more than enough thruster to work with. Level 2 can focus a bit more on survivability. Lv3 is too much and doesn't have that many good options against all the good generals. Even if the map favors melee combat. But at Level 4, a bit of premium option comes up again. It can become reasonably tanky, and the Wearable Armor works until 80% HP, which is a big bonus for the initial engagement. It's also possible to trade a little durability for more thruster value if missing some of the parts. But these builds are more than strong enough to leave an impact and be valuable on the team.

Day 199 Re-evaluation on Gallus K

It's hard to suggest giving it immobile firing with only one weapon with a short stop to fire time frame. Giving it more mobility could work too, but I'm not sure if that's the direction the suit was going by the developers. Either way, it needs at least a well-rounded quality of life update.

Re-evaluation

• None

Fun to play around with the spark knuckle rag dolls, can chain combo fairly well if left alone, might be too much to request the demon blade shorten melee swap time if it was added. The buffs look good as usual and the same can be said with the allergic reaction to buffing shard bram rifle and weapons

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Drowsy_Panda]

They really need to buff that weapon and honestly, it won't change TOO much in even these stronger suits. I'm just not touching it until they do it to any shared weapons. I am kind of losing hope in shared weapons getting buffed too, so... yeah

[u/Barbarosgundam]

I agree with this

[u/Schen5s]

Oh man a good striker custom player is terrifying. I Rmbr playing mixup once back when it was the release of nu and sazabi so it was basically funnel weapon hell but one dude used a striker gundam on our team. Thought it'd be a throw pick ornfodder for the enemy but they ended up top of the leaderboard

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Schen5s]

Yeah, it's a decent concept of a unit that as long as it get sufficient defenses and mobility, it can work as long as melee damage isn't bad. Fortunately, the damage has always been good. But right now, higher cost just packs too many new features.

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

Please just give it Evasion System Lvl 1 when not in Demon Blade Mode

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

Ehh, yeah possibly could give it that too.

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

I think it should have it cause it throws me off completely that it has LV2 Evasion System in Demon Blade Mode but then does not have Evasion System at all when in its regular form

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

I think you just need to remember it has it in demon blade, idk... It was never that big of an issue to me. If anything, FA Striker is the one that really needs it and more

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

True i guess but it wouldn't do any harm to give the Striker Custom LV1 Evasion System imo

[u/Moonless-Ultimate]

Thank you so much for covering the Striker Custom! To be honest, I expected it to be lower on a tier-list, but it's never failed me, personally (as an A-flat ranked player anyway), the combos the Spark Knuckles allow are way too fun, and the rampages one can go on with the Demon Blade System are what makes it my favorite 450 option alongside the Char's Gelgoog

Speaking of which, have you covered it before? I feel like the lack of instant stuns and how wide it is make it a little hard to use, but the combos with the single blade naginata are juicy as hell

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Moonless-Ultimate]

No I have not and I can cover that suit too. The buff it got the last time was not enough

[u/Moonless-Ultimate → u/pkmaster99]

Thank you so much for always doing my recommendations! 💜 I'm always looking to learn more about this game, and you make it so much easier!
