The GP gashapon changes seriously are fantastic for new people. It has never been easier to get suits you want. It is just a shame I had to spend several million the day before they changed it.

If you hit a red box, you can no longer get rentals, color sprays, or paint decals. Either Gold/silver version of the featured suit or a DX/Master ticket.

Rainbow modes pay out much better now.

Also, we're going to be getting a lot of new members next week since a lot of /m/'s WhitePiggu clan have agreed to join our clan since we are more active. Not necessarily just new players, we're picking up veterans as well.

If you haven't played within 2 months you are getting kicked to make room for active players, we're still aiming to keep the roster at 30 players for easier clan challenges.

All clan challenges were done this week, so you should enjoy quite a good boost if you decide to re-apply to the clan and play again.

Not sure, but when they release the next suit survey in September vote for all the latest overpowered stuff. Don't vote for modest stuff.

That's what the feds did back last September and they got EVERYTHING they asked for. I was really surprised when they gave them the Alex.

They take the results of the survey really seriously.

Kind of a bad shot, but it's there as an available ace on the A bou ko map:


Zeong would be a space-only suit, limiting its use though. Perfect Zeong would be great on the other hand.

You raise a good point though. I hope they move on to Neo-Zeon's Zeta/ZZ Gundam suits if they run out of strong Zeon OYW suits. :getin:

They need to give Zeon mobile armors. Make them super expensive and take up like 2+ slots. Would totally counter all the insane gundams that are coming.

It was there as a promotion rental unit along with the Char Gelgoog. Gundam Hammer is equivalent to a DII Sword on either Ifrit, power-wise.

You could play a GP Gashacon for rentals of those suits.

New suits delayed for a week, here is the preview.

I thought Ram Z'gok would at least put up a better show in melee, but not really. Just one boost attack with modest reach on a melee specialized suit. The headbutt deals 3x melee damage as opposed to two, it could one shot a gun-tank. Looked hard to land though. Gold gets the heat ram. It can pack a shotgun like gold Gogg.

Gelgoog looks like it has an interesting guided missile option. Knockdown capable vs grounded targets with a decent splash. Only gold gets it. Depending how the stats turn out I may still just go for more Act Zakus though.

Full Armour gundam looks like the more dangerous feddy suit of the two because of the charged beam.

E: Wiki has leaked suit stats. Pale rider's stats are pretty terrible (Worst in class for 320 cost assaults for everything... maybe HADES is that good?, base stats are near 240 cost assault levels) but FA-Gundam has dual charge beams(Stats Like a Zock mirror, a monstrous amount of armour, with modest load capacity thankfully. Smaller target than Zock, but can be knocked down.)

Meanwhile MS14-BR has sub-par stats for a 340 cost assault(Lowest in class in Load and Boost capacity), except for speed(Slightly inferior to GLA, -10 difference) and boost recharge. Really the weapons will make or break the suit, stats haven't been released for those. For 340 cost, silver of this suit doesn't seem worth it. All other 340 cost assaults for Zeon are better options for silver really.

For 280 Cost Ram Z'gok actually has pretty good stats for its class. If only it had better weapons / melee hitbox.
Get an Ifrit if you want a 280 cost specialized melee suit with a shotgun, it has a good melee hitbox as well as boost attack combos.

If you need a high performance assault, Kampfer DX is still your best bet. This DX is incredibly niche for both sides.

If feds get a stolen Zaku,



We should get a stolen Gundam.



Bring back Solomon when we get this suit :getin:

Also, if you're having trouble with GLAs/Alex get an Act Zaku(Heavy type not Mallet assault. Preferably beam shooter.) and grab the charged beam F. Tune up the damage(Top left stat) and range(bottom left stat). A full charge will knock them out of the air, then you can finish them off with bazooka F or B3 rifle.

Trying to kill them with conventional assault weapons is a pain otherwise.

Hi guys, just hit Ensign, so I applied to the clan. Still trying to get rid of my default suits, but I'm having analysis paralysis on which ones to build. I have a ton of heavies that I have gold plans for(Zaku Marine, Zaku Desert type, and Zaku F Heavy Weapons) but I'm not sure if the 4-type bonus is too big of a bonus to pass up for, say, a two heavy two engineer, or a three heavy one engineer setup.

Zaku marine is the best grunt suit. Run torpedo gun, bazooka F, and a shotgun. It's got a weapon for every range and occasion. Pump up enough load capacity to avoid a movement penalty with this loadout.

Heavy support will make you alot of points yeah, and packs the firepower to kill expensive suits. Ditch the starter suits ASAP and build gold versions of the ones you like (Zaku worker has all the support tools, gold gets a fat range radar pod).

Vincent Gelgoog gets no heavy beam rifle, gold's missile launcher has base 7000 power, decent blast and range otherwise but can't have ammo refilled.

This suit isn't going to be good for prolonged fights. It could beat flying Alexes/GLAs but once you're out of ammo for the missile launcher you're at a big disadvantage.

Ram Z'gok is Ram Z'gok. Get an Ifrit instead if you need a melee suit.

Pale rider is a paper tiger. HADES is half as strong as EXAM (20 seconds vs 45) with half the power of the buffs. The gimmick is that its refillable.



Blue destiny has better stats, weapons, and special ability. Pale rider is inferior in stats to vanilla Gouf, a 260 cost suit.

FA Gundam has good charged beam rifles but isn't as strong as Zock, they're about 2/3s as strong. That's still quite good. You won't be able to customize a suit that can resist the knockdown if these beams hit at full charge, unless you've got beam coating. It can also grab shelling guns despite being a heavy suit. Speed is Juagg level, and it is fairly vulnerable to knockdowns due to having poor load capacity.

S-type can knock down people flying in the air since you're traited(Unless its Alex, but if you're in the water it gets a damage boost, sufficient to knockdown flying Alex).
