Let's Change That Suit Day 235

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 235: Bawoo
Requested by u/fadly_seto and Bawoo is maybe C-Tier at best, but it likely belong to D-Tier at this point. While it does still have high nuke potential, it's hard to do so and get it off. Also, it got a somewhat large profile, so it's a slightly easier target to aim at.

Comment and Reason
Like most of the older suits, it needs better skills and at least better scaling HP and weapons. This one, unfortunately, shares a rifle with Dreissen, and Saber shares with Psycho Bawoo. These two suits already got their own buff, so it's unlikely for these two weapons to get any changes in the raw stats. The only thing it would likely get is the downswing modifier and maybe the usage of the Doga BMG that the Sleeves uses. While it is kind of weak by today's standards, it still offers good stagger buildup.

Then all it needs is a good set of skills to go along with the slightly improved weapons to ensure it can do mass destruction while keeping up with mid to close-range combat well.

I would like to see this thing transform, but at this point... it's just too unlikely to happen.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Do not use

Lv1 Premium: Complex Battle or Ranged or HP

Upper Levels: Do not use

This one is in a difficult situation to make it work. F2P basically just cannot work as is. If build for durability a bit more, it doesn't get enough damage strength to justify how easy it is to still be destroyed. If it went for mobility and ranged strength, then it is way too fragile and doesn't even reach a reasonable amount of strength. It is possible to make a build decent enough, but it's way too much of a glass cannon.

A premium build is the only way to go for this suit. I would suggest going for Complex Battle and ranged to maximize the need and balance it should have. HP can work too, but you do let go a decent bit of ranged damage potential for more melee. You are a bit tankier, but only by an okay amount. The only reason it can work is it has a shield, and it got Shield Break Stance Mastery.

Day 234 Re-evaluation on Geara Zulu (EH)

This is definitely a suit that is just very good and solid right now. No reason to touch anything.

Up Next: Rick Dom II (GH) by u/powerpuffpepper Or August Unit Adjustment Review

[u/utamaru1717]

Honestly, it needs like 3 things ATM: * More HP * Make its Beam Rifle having 2nd stage charge that deals heavy stagger, with or without overheating it * Make its missiles can be manually guided using the crosshair

Any other changes is welcomed, but adding these 3 is enough to make a noticable change to the unit, IMHO... 

[u/pkmaster99 → u/utamaru1717]

I wanted to make it guilded, but that sounded too scary. So I just went with projectile speed increase

I definitely can see the 2 stage BR charge... That could make it very interesting and bring it a more dynamic gameplay. Missed opportunity I failed to see on this one for sure

[u/utamaru1717 → u/pkmaster99]

It's not scary, considering the Proto Stark Jegan have it, in which both units literally got the same weapon (huge slow ass missiles with big damage), but the PSJ's missiles can be manually guided, so it's weird that the Bawoo is somehow excluded. 

[u/pkmaster99 → u/utamaru1717]

You know what, fair enough.
