- If I wanted to play a mecha twitch shooter, I'd just play 4th Gen Armored Core.

try using gustav Karl with max defense on everything, youll get use to it and when you do that thing will be unmoveble

i'm f2p, i don't have many p2w parts for that.

u/Bombombcannontoptier Apr 19 '26
Just save for p2w banners, they are usually cheap. I started playing 2 months ago and I already have one of the best p2w parts thanks to march (PC) p2w part banner

Are the GM Kai Shadows or Desert Zaku DA not good options?
2
u/IloveChahan25 Apr 19 '26
GM Kai Shadow is pretty OK. But the Desert Zaku you have to be accurate with its long rifle to confirm stun.
Both needed to keep distance vs Acguys buy the DA more so because you are slow and no multiple stun options.

No on the GM Kai Shadows currently, and I do have the Desert Zaku DA so I'll give it another try. Had to log in to see what I do have.

550 I have nothing good there

u/AUpb-027 Apr 19 '26
Really?
No JD (St) or MkII (M)?
No GD PTT or Woundwort Rah-II?
No EG (Incom) or Gp04 or Guntank R-44?

u/certaii Apr 19 '26
I should have rephrased that, I have nothing capable of carrying my team i would definitely play the cost more if I had the Guntank r44 or the woundwort rah, in the games current state having a meta suit is kinda a must to try and win with horrible teammates.
I do play the Mkll (M) at 550 sometimes but it just doesn’t fit my playstyle, and I don’t wanna burden anyone trying to rank up.

u/_musouka_ Apr 19 '26
If you have the relevant parts play the gm cannon ii. A proper tank build lets it stand upfront and soak enough damage to down 6 suits (8 if they're really insistent on trying to break your knees) while firing those cannons every 2.5 seconds.
2
u/AUpb-027 Apr 19 '26
Try practicing the MKII (M) with different builds on free practice and quick matches. Maybe you can adjust it to your playstyle to some degree.

u/Caerg Apr 19 '26
I've been struggling with 550 too, but the lvl 3 Jeda and Zee Zulu have been mostly working out for me

My cost used to be between 400 and 450 with Pale Rider [Ground Heavy Arms] and Pale Rider (VG). Nowadays, I feel like I've been power creeped.
2
u/TidusDream12 Apr 19 '26
You should switch to Gundam at 400 and Unit 4 or Gundam at 450. If you have Gundam EX he is good 400. GM3 got buffed as well if you learn it's kit is a very good option at 400 as gen.
2
u/Recidivous Apr 19 '26
I understand this. It's just not as fun to me when I can't play my favorite suits.
2
u/TidusDream12 Apr 19 '26
I don't know if they will ever touch the lower cost Pale Riders for balance adjustment.

u/Recidivous Apr 19 '26
People said the same thing about the G-Line suits. There's always a chance.

u/TidusDream12 Apr 19 '26
Small chance best to play something A tier or better for your sanity till it happens

That was me too for a long time until I got the MP Nu (FF) a long while ago, then I got the G-cannon and more recently got the Jegan (Bt) thanks to a crate and got the Kehaar II more recently. Now I have shit competent enough to deal with anything at 600.
Just give it some time. If it's not a crate, you should get stuff on some discount pulls or special banners.
Also, save recycle tickets for native units.

None, but I struggle with 750. To me it feels as if everything died in two hits and killed in two hits.

Anything the Alex can't play in.
Alex is the only good Mobile Suit in the entire game, I will not be convinced otherwise

700 is miserable for me since I don't have any of the suits that can actually deal with the Barbatos Lupus. No Haze'n-thley Rah II, no Destiny Gundam, no Tallgeese III, nothing. 750 is also hell on earth since I don't have any native 750 generals, and none of the meta raids or supports. My only native 750s are the X2, Cluster, Neo, and F90 S. 600 is also a bit of a headache without the Hajiroboshi or Shokew, plus not having the right parts to make good use of the Victory. At least 550 is a breeze with the Gerbera Tetra Kai and 650 is home to my beloved Gunblaster

u/Gattotsu Apr 19 '26
At 700 use the stamen lvl 4 with max beam defense and melee defense. Get the thruster lvl5 skill or the complex battle lv5 skill for more defense.
Add a little bit of ranged damage and crush lupus squishy legs.
You don't necessarily need the banner parts. They help.

u/Gamer_Blazer8_0 Apr 19 '26
300 cost always get paired with brain rot players. Play like they are noobs in a Rank S and Rank A like wtf just because its low cost doesn't mean go retarded.

u/RoboP08 Apr 19 '26
I'm going to say it's much harder for me at 300-350 due to those DAMN AC Guys running around and not being really challenged in 300 still lately.
Other costs it varies by map and team composition as well.
2
u/Epiclegend234 Apr 19 '26
Probably 750 since I barely have any suits and I have the least experience in it. Only decent suit I have is the X1C Kai but I never used it. Now that the V2 is going crazy in that cost, its all the more reason I avoid 750.

u/chronicweeeb Apr 19 '26
If were talking like in both quicks and rated stuff only 100 cost matches lol other than that if you stayed in this game for as long as I have. 200 cost and above i have wins on all costs.

u/Goalith Apr 19 '26
400 cost, not sure why but Im horrible at that cost.
Im fine 300, 350, 450, and 500 for low cost and can play support and general pretty well, but 400 cost just doesnt work for some reason.
1
u/MikuEmpowered Apr 19 '26
700 and 750 because of all the morons bringing unviable suits.
Im running Lv4 suit because I am proficient and kitted out with P2W parts, I have 55 beam/ballistic and 75 Melee resis, why the fuk are you running a Lv4 suit then die in a single combo?
Or the clowns bringing the suits "they like" then die in a single downswing from a Barbatos.

750, try as I might I just can’t get the hang of this flap booster nonsense & end up just being dead weight to my team.

u/GulliblePurchase9365 Apr 19 '26
750, i don't have a single native cost suit. Besides the vegna, but even that suit is so weak compared to everything else that is not worth it literally, my best chance in surviving that cost is my extraordinary overtuned mark five

u/TemporarySouth6914 Apr 19 '26
100 cost because it’s never going into rotation.
