I'm enjoying the Efreet Nacht way more than I thought I would. I dunno if it's the patch making everything move more smoothly or if it just clicks with me.

The Nacht's boost consumption went down with the patch I think, so even a silver one is viable now.

Nah the Pixie is kind of a piece of poo poo. The Fred Pixie on the other hand gets the upwards movement from boosting that our nacht gets, with an extra boost attack, and has lest consumption on those boosts. If you see a little dot flying across the map at mach speed you are seeing a Fred Pixie.

Are any of the EX suits any good? I heard the Dom wasn't, but what about the two zakus?

The silver print for the HMT Gelgoog might be worth giving a spin if you're interested in a good frontline suit. Silver print won't get sturms but you could try to roll a combat custom one and get it to 3.

Hey can we keep the GM Guard Custom unlocked as our feddie suit. I took that poo poo out for a spin and that shield+|everything is stupid. Even the machineguns are good when you realize you never are open to eat an unexpected bazooka. LONG AS YOU KEEP THAT SHIELD UP YOU GOOD. Also can we keep it max upgraded too?

I can buy it for a few weeks if someone is using it, the upgrades are just random when you unlock it per week though, so it's all luck based.

Geez, those new suits look insane. I'd like to get my hands on that gelgoog marine. That gundam has an insane looking gun on its arm though. I have to ask, did these suits show up at all in the UC shows? I don't remember them at all.

Well the GP04 suit the feds got was what gets turned into the Gebera Tetra that Cima uses, and the Heavy Gundam is a Mobile suit Variations suit which is just some mecha nerd magazine i think.

Cima showed up in Stardust. The others are just bullshit the feddies get because gently caress you zeon. Welcome to the underdogs.

The Irradiation beam does to 20k a tick but it's range is like 180 so it's a get in boost attack range and murder dudes weapon.

Am I missing something? The language barrier seems really daunting here. I'm really interested but trying to navigate the japanese menus seems really tedious.

The language barrier if there, but most of the menus have either an english option, or for instance the back button always looks the same. If you enjoy anime robots it's not too hard to learn the menus once you get used to them after a little bit of play, just check out the english wiki and it has some of the harder stuff translated in images for you to figure out.

Quick switch giving a temporary damage buff to the weapon you switch to makes it not so terrible a trait anymore. Theoretically you could always have a damage buff going on a Gouf custom with quick switch trait, insta swapping between the heat rod and the gatling. It's not quite machine gun shooter trait but you could emulate that, as long as you keep insta-switching to keep the damage buff up. Perhaps quick switch went from the worst trait for the Gouf Custom to the best?

Is it just quick switch trait or the module? if just the trait do any shotgun units get it?

The GP02 seems like it could actually be useable once in a while now, while the Cima basically just :gizz: all the rounds of an FA out and fires the SA mode as fast if not faster than the 02, suit got even crazier.

Looks like the double heat hawks on the Action Zaku (Mallet type) cost 3 of those special modules to unlock the initial type, the others after that you just pay cash for normally.

Which ones are the best to use? DII?

The answer to that question will always be test all the types out in maneuvers until you find the one you like.

So I discovered a love for the guncannon captured suit and am gonna start getting higher end arty suits and working with that. I got a A-Type rating in a gold match just blowing poo poo up with teh cannon and the odd direct fire bazooka shot.

save up 30 exchange tickets and use it to buy the Greydon Cannon Zaku if you want a good shelling unit, you get missiles that do 2 shots for 350 base, the standard 850 dmg f bazooka, and decent howitzer/shelling options.

Continuing with lazy as gently caress updates both sides share a suit, we finally get the geara zulu, they get the Jegan. The hizack's seem like they'll get a mk2 shotgun type of weapon, could be interesting but since they're all 320 cost I don't have any hopes for them.

Nov 12, 2013
Well I tried the Silver zulu since i put in a single DX for one, It's a pretty great suit, the Sturms coupled with the melee it gets is basically a free kill most of the time. The Jegan looks like it's just a Gyan but 20 cost lower, which is kind of hilarious.

Unusual
Nov 12, 2013
It gets the MK2 8 pellet shotgun, albeit a beam version, so if you roll spray shooter you're good there, if you roll beam shooter you have a bunch of gatlings to use, including a dual gatling option. the funnels aren't super great at shooting someone actively dodging, but it seems like if you use them while moving in they can be decent.

How do I even use these stupid funnels

Don't even bother is the real answer, but if you want to try, you right click to start the lock, and every segment of that bar that fills up is a funnel that will fire when you left click afterwards (you have to keep the enemy in that circle the whole time, with no cover between you.

Yeah it seems hosed up that the funnels are super terrible, they kind of just float in the air for a full two or three seconds before firing sometimes, just staying still and doing nothing.

The zaku flipper is a high cost support that can instantly revive a man at short range, moves suprisingly fast for a support, with higher quality weapons (as in healing guns and poo poo), and radar. If you want a support to fool around with go buy one out for 250k.

Anybody have tips for melee? I suck at close combat. I have no chance fighting the gundams with the dual daggers.

For melee the best advice anyone can give you is buy every melee variation for your suit, and go into maneuvers to test it against either the ai, or a friendly healing post at one of the bases to learn how the swing works, and what the hit box is like. unless you are using a higher end melee suit you should probably open up with a bazooka f direct hit, which should stagger or kneel most targets (or knock them out of the air if airborne) and then you can combo with a regular swing. It gets a little boring but practice every swing for a bit so you know how the hit box works at all distances, a lot of the dash attacks only hit on one direction for most of the distance then end on a near 180 swing to the other direction. The other big piece of advice I can give is keep your shield up and try to get your balance pretty high if you want a dedicated melee suit, with good balance you can take a hit on the chin while only losing your shield, and then do a quick 180 and kill the guy.
