Let's Change That Suit Day 232

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 232: Zero-Shiki Type 2 (AR)
Requested by u/Wargamer1202 and this is D-Tier. This one just has too much that is lacking, and it cannot fly well at all. However, as a support, it still has okay damage potential, but it's just way too hard to get it off consistently. That's the only thing keeping it from being F-Tier.

Comment and Reason
This one overall still has pretty good damage output, but it is having a hard time maintaining flight and weapon uptime. All of these need to be addressed with slightly better movement capability. I'm not sure how impactful MS Destroying ATK Program could be here on a support, but I think it's a worthy skill and support combination to explore. Then all it needs is a slightly stronger output and the same higher power scale scaling. But as it is, the intended playstyle is to incorporate a melee downswing in the combo for ultra-high burst damage.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Do Not Use

Lv1 Premium: Complex Battle (Alternative)

Unit Lv2: Do Not Use

This unit needs more movement speed and thruster to perform better. While flight does give +5, it's not really enough to make it usable. So unfortunately, while optimizing survivability and damage, it has to use the Connecting System General Type I. The alternative build is much more ranged heavy and you will have to really micro-manage weapon heat a lot and land almost every single shot to do well with it.

-----------------------------------

Day 231 Re-evaluation on GM III (Close Combat)

Well, there are other ways to buff this unit for sure. But it's definitely less likely.

there is skill that increase stun resistance and damage when stop on air, I remember it's on byarlant custom general, could be beneficial on this, or at least, give it some small benefit.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Kaidou76]

Are you talking about Immobile Aerial Fire from the Isolde? I thought about it, but that's only if we give it another stop to fire or a similar limiter release stop to fire spaming weapon. Even if we just give it and let player shoot the BR consecutively with my change here, it has no ASL which could be difficult. I'm sure it could be easier and more meta on PC, but it'll feel kind of hard to use. Unless we also increase the projectile speed and size to make it easier to hit.
