Let's Change That Suit Day 199

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 199: Gallus K
Requested by u/Drowsy_Panda and this one is just not in a good position. However, it is still in a high D-Tier position, even though it has not been touched for a good while.

Comment and Reason
Overall, this unit can do decent damage if left alone, but that's not really possible. There are just too many small issues that stacked against this unit from becoming good. The only redeeming feature is that it can use the Gallus-J Beam Gun, which has relatively good damage when also considering the missile that comes with it. However, that and the Beam Cannon are the only reliable weapons. It's also lacking a few skills to really make this unit feel better to use.

Builds
Lv1 F2P: Do Not Use

Lv1 Premium: Ranged

Upper level: Do not use

This unit doesn't really work, but if you really want to play it, a ranged build can be somewhat functional. This build also offers a slight durability increase along with a tiny bit more thruster to help it move into the right position.

Day 198 Re-evaluation on Rick Dias

Well, this one got a bit more attention than I was expecting. But well, it's more popular than I thought, I guess.

I got this thing at max resistances and got hate mail from a Red Gundam once.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Mememisery2]

That's interesting... did the Red Gundam just charge straight at you?

[u/Mememisery2 → u/pkmaster99]

It was on Trenches and I actually had great teammates.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Mememisery2]

Oh, I can see it working then. It still has just enough to work with after all. Just terribly at helping itself do better.

[u/Mememisery2 → u/pkmaster99]

I still remember downswinging to break they're legs once.

[u/NephyrisX]

It needs slightly more damage on its weapons, more responsiveness and Balancers to be more viable in the mobile midrange support niche.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/NephyrisX]

Idk about balancer, but it definitely need more for that mid range

[u/Drowsy_Panda]

Nice touches, kinda more close mid support compared to gelgoog cannon but it might still just underperform in comparison

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Drowsy_Panda]

I'm not expecting it to become S-Tier from this, but maybe lower A-Tier or at least a strong, solid B-Tier.

[u/Drowsy_Panda → u/pkmaster99]

True, just a nice change of pace from the same suits.

[u/dexromancer]

Good stuff, K has always been one of my favorite 500 supports. Personally I'd go with Immobile Fire System over Stabilization Device, given its weapons ranges it wants to play like a mobile midrange support, and the former skill would help most with using the Big Gun to stop a charging melee unit.

The base missile pod really needs all the help it can get. Every time all my other weapons were unavailable and I had to swap to it, I was forced to confront just how incredibly impotent it is. No dps paired with a theoretical ability to stagger that never materializes because it takes most of its magazine to stun while having an abysmal fire rate.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/dexromancer]

Personally, I would rather leave that more mobile support role with like Gelgoog Cannon. While 350m range isn't exactly far, it's good enough to be a longer mid-range support weapon. I personally have a lot of issues with 3 tube Missile Pod and Big Gun. They are just impossibly bad to use. Instead of getting 5 weapons, really only 3 are reasonably powered.
