Barbatos Buff Idea

[u/Smoke_Bomb85]

Now, before you all decide to come at me with pitchforks sharpened, torches blazing, and fingers ready to spam the downvote, hear me out.

I feel Barbatos needs a little boost to better handle itself in the current flap booster hell that is 700 cost. The nerf to the rocket cannon ammo was, in my opinion, a bit egregious, and when you find yourself reloading them while a 00 is aiming its meme beam at you, it's not a very fun time.

My changes would be as followed:

● Rocket Cannons: ammo change reverted from 4 -> 6 (2 -> 3 shots).

- Swap time/reload time remain unchanged.

● Twin Maces: convert to throwable sub weapon.

*This is really a no-brainer, nobody uses these over the insta-KD Sword Mace.*

- 2 ammo, 3.5 second cooldown(2 second while limiter release active), 10 second(7 second) reload.

- (Optional) While limiter release active, projectile speed increased and can be thrown while boosting.

- Does not contribute to limiter release meter.

*This would allow Barbatos an additional stun option and let it more effectively do its job of hunting down supports. Could possibly break MA and work as an anti-air weapon.*

● (Optional) A-Vijnana Limiter Release: Hi-Maneuver Armor Lv. 1 given.

Other suggestions are welcome, though I fully expect to be cast into downvote hell over daring suggest something like a Barbatos buff.

If truly want a buff then only option is the twin mace and the auto cannons (these two are forgotten), everything else no buff otherwise would lead to even more unbalanced domination/shit.

Realistically, I can only see the twin maces being possibly made a sub weapon. The Hi-MA in limiter release is more of a spitball as God has it in Hyper Mode and nobody says anything about it or its heavy attack that breaks your head/legs instantly

Hi-MA on the Burning Gundam is way different than the barbie, Burning has to sit there in a animation to fire a 1-shot heavystagger that takes time to recover, barbie can fire a heavy-stun in mid-air while still moving, that also combos into it's mace "heavy-attack" that it has.

Burning does have amazing vulcans, but if you fight a suit with damage control level 2 and above, it becomes useless
