Welp had to spend another 5 dollars on mudfish. Was down to 99 cents figured it was time to invest more.

If you play a poo poo ton this thing lasts roughly under a year.
If you're more casual it'll last you a year so no complaints on my end best VPN for your buck.

Thanks for getting this week's clan challenges done!

No counter mirror suit yet, here are the leaks for June's Gundam Sidestory promotion DX suits:

EFSF
RX-78-XX Gundam Pixie (Fred Lieber's Specification)

Ground-Only Close quarters assault, modest armour, exceptional mobility, strong melee, easy-to-use grenade throw.





RX-81 Jirain(Light Armour frame)

Ground/Space capable, modest armour, strong mobility, dual beam sabers, dual gatlings. If this gets bazookas too, it will be beastly.






ZEON
MS-08-TX Ifrit (Schneid Specification)

Ground only Heavy weapons mobile suit, Heat lance and heavy-type bazookas.





MS-08-TX/N Efreet-Nacht

Ground only Close quarters assault specialist. Comes with Cold-type Blade, Cold Kunai(Effective up to medium range and stuns the target), and a stealth mode(Invisible to radar).






These suits come out June 11.

NEW SUITS ARE OUT!

Notable features, I noticed:

The new Pixie Gundam has a 3-stage boost attack
RX-81 Light armour, packs dual missiles like Gogg and GM Blue Destiny, these can knockdown aerial targets.
Ifrit Schneid can pack a net-gun as well as shotguns.

Ifrit Nacht didn't seem to do anything too fancy, also that hand vulcan took forever to try kill a GM.

E: DX Impressions

Ifrit Schneid, is 280 cost and has pretty modest stats. Gold gets the net gun. Traits are rocket shooter/range extend/combat custom. The heat lancer has enhanced melee damage like the Dom High Mobility.

Ifrit Nacht, is 300 cost and has good stats all around(Except for load capacity, base is 1380... Zaku II FS gets 1530 for comparison). Traits are combat custom, grenade thrower, and High mobility customize(Move faster like Dom HMT). Cold kunai can stun(Gold gets an additional type that has the least ammo and has the worst stats... maybe it's got better aoe), and it gets stun grenades, as well as a DII Sword.


E2: Test impressions

The rental Schneid has a big melee hitbox, at least on type T melee:



Built a silver nacht to test out the DII sword to see if it's as good as the regular ifrits:
Has a 6 hit combo standing melee, and 2-stage boost attack(Stab -> horizontal slash with Kunai), DIII sword's forward movement is as good as vanilla ifrit's.. Kunai doesn't do much damage but can stun for up to 1.8 seconds. Suit has access to type T jamming grenades, Jams(Distorted screen, and victim cannot lock-on) for 10-11 seconds.


Stealth works like Gogg, except you can do it on land. You get MUCH less ammo in exchange though(50 as opposed to 300), about 15 seconds of stealth(Invisible to radar only).




E3: Spent all my DX, no gold, 3 silvers of each ifrit. Will have to save up, and try again.
E4: Ifrit Nacht's DIII sword can keep up with kampfers and vanilla ifrits.

Yes, play the GP Gashacon to up the trait if you can spare the GP. All the swords have a strong move-set, play around to see which fits your style best.

EX Gashacon is split into volumes, easier to pick up a suit than last time:


Zaku II S / ProtoZaku


Zaku II F2 / Zaku II F Assault

Had a lot of fun with this. I've mostly been running combat support, and have been doing a parasitic support build where I totally steal all of another support's points by throwing ammunition packs and repairing at his healing station. It gets everyone back into the fight faster so it's better for us (but not for the other poor support. :shrug:)

Has anyone hosed around with the little panzerfaust thing that the Zaku II gets? I've been running around with the F bazooka and that, and it's pretty much an instakill on anything I run into. Do any other zeon heavies get that gun?

Are the servers down for maintenance right now?

Sturmfausts? Yeah, it's a really good weapon, I recommend running bullets boost and extra ammo module so you get more since they are not refillable.

Suits that get it, from slowest moving units(Also the cheapest spawn time!) to fastest moving units(But has the longest spawn time...):

Zaku II F2 Heavy (260 cost Gold only)
Zaku II F2 Kinbareid Assault (300 cost Gold only)
Zogok Assault (300 cost Boomerang chucker guy, Gold only)
Gelgoog High Mobility Type Assault (340 cost Gold only)
Kampfer Assault(360 cost Silver and Gold)

EX Gashacon is your best bet for getting more sturm faust units. Either volume 2(Sturmfaust heavy) or volume 3 (Sturmfaust assault).

Lucky!(I've spent 40 DX trying to get it awhile back... not real money, just tickets I've farmed/saved up)

Gold gets access to charged beam rifles and has proven to be a reliable gimmick counter to the feddy's RX81 (Alex not so much..., skirmish and avoid trading hits vs them like every other Zeon assault in that match-up).

If you've got good aim, a full charge on the Charge beam rifle F will knock em down out of the air for a melee/bazooka takedown.

I recommend running the bullpup as a side arm, if you can afford to run a quick switch module on the suit. It's Zeon's best MG imo, accuracy and DPS is fairly good.

Shotgun damage nerf and Heavy weapons suit rebalancing notes are out:

Suits affected by the new weaker shotgun numbers:
TL;DR Suits that cost equal or less than 240 cost had their shotguns nerfed, workers especially

EFSF
GM
GM Commander
GM Trainer Worker
GM Ground Type Worker
GM Cannon
GM Land-warfare Specification (Charged bazooka and beam spray gun...)

It's notable that Wolf GM isn't on this list, and is an even stronger suit now, benefiting from the heavy weapons buffs and not having it's beam spray-gun nerfed.
RX81 GLA and WD GM's beam spray guns were untouched.

Zeon
Zaku I
Zaku Marine
Zaku Worker
Zaku II JC
Zaku Cannon
Zaku II F Assault

Zaku II FS/Ifrit/Kampfer's shotgun was not touched thankfully.

New Shotgun numbers:
Shotguns fire 5 pellets, damage listed at the weapon screen is per pellet. In practice, not all 5 pellets hit if there is a little distance.

Type N
OLD: 95 damage per pellet x 5 = 475
NEW: 90 damage per pellet x 5 = 450
Worker type: 85 * 5 = 425

Type M
OLD: 85 damage per pellet x 5 = 425, 9 shots in one clip.
NEW: 80 damage per pellet x 5 = 400, 7 shots in one clip now instead of 9.
Worker type: 75 damage per pellet x 5 = 375, 7 shots in one clip.

Nobody uses the other types so I won't list them.

Heavy Weapons Suits Changes:
Increased armour and increased weapon weight in exchange for higher damage and projectile speed.
New charged weapon buff, +50% damage at half charge, +100% damage at full charge. Old values were +25%/+50% half/full charge.

Charged bazookas now have increased projectile speed depending on how much you charged it.

Higher quality charged bazookas for the following suits:
EFSF: Gundam GM Head, GM Cannon Space Warfare spec(Nobody uses this...), GM Kai Ground-warfare spec
Zeon: Cold Climate Dom, High Mobility Tri-Star Zaku, Gelgoog(NOT Prototype assault, the mass produced heavy one), Ifrit Schneid

Normal type
Power: 5000 ⇒ 5500
Ammo: 1/15 ⇒ 1/10

F type
Power: 6000 ⇒ 6500
Ammo: 1/9 ⇒ 1/6
Best bazooka in the game at full charge now, no contest.

Beam Rifle damage buff for high cost heavies:
EFSF: Gun Cannon (SML specification), Gun Cannon Ⅱ, Gun Cannon Heavy type D
Zeon: Act Zaku, Gelgoog Cannon, Gelgoog Cannon(Johnny Ridden Spec)

All heavy weapon's beam rifle have increased projectile speed as well.

Normal type
Power: 1300 ⇒ 1600

F type
Power: 1800 ⇒ 2100 (Gundam Alex quality beam rifle!)

B3
Power: 1300 ⇒ 1400

Higher quality grenades for heavies that cost at least 260 as well:

Normal type
Power: 5500 ⇒ 6000
Area of ​​Effect: 5000 ⇒ 5417

F / F type
Power: 7000 ⇒ 8000
Area of ​​Effect: 5833 ⇒ 6250

Also Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog cannon got nerfed while heavy type aqua gundam got 10% buffs on all it's weapons.

Time to slot back in my high cost heavies with beam rifles and charged beam rifles to shoot down Gundam Alexes / RX 81 GLAs :getin:
Kampfer just can't deal with their mid-ranged skirmish game otherwise...

These will be live July 9th.

Kampfer is the best suit for sudden close range attacks but suffers in prolonged shootouts and has no good answer to the mid range skirmish game the RX81 and Alex can pull off.

Gold Zaku marine is easily our best grunt unit as Zeon. Guided missiles, shotgun, and heavy quality bazooka F. Hope it's missile traited when you build it.

Zock, Gelgoog Heavy, Gelgoog cannon, and Act Zaku are going to be nuts when the patch hits.

Better charged bazookas and beam weapons(especially) are going to tear up the RX81s and even the Alexes.

Zeon heavy suits are going to be a strong answer to beating these fotm EFSF suits.

Mobile suits in the near future:

EFSF

RX-80 Pale Rider







Latest tech of the feddies. That's the HADES(Hyper Animosity Detect Estimate System) not the EXAM system, its even stronger. Dual beam sabers, some big gun with a bren-like magazine, it certainly looks strong... Last 3 DXes for the Feddies have been home-runs, this seems to be no different.

ZEON

MS-14BR Gelgoog High Mobility Type (Vincent Gleissner's Spec)







Looks like it's our turn to have a high mobility assault with missile launchers and heavy beam rifles, GLA style. I really regret spending so much DX for the Nacht/Schneid as this suit seems quite good. I wouldn't hesitate to pilot a GLA mirror.
