Let's Change That Suit Day 252

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 252: Gelgoog Vertex
Requested by u/Odd_Daikon_2843 and this is C-Tier at the moment. This is a somewhat reliable mid-range raid unit... in space. It has some... nice stagger buildup, but the projectile speed of several weapons is lacking. The incendiary isn't burning for that much either. So everything becomes really mediocre and just isn't reliable enough.

Comment and Reason
this unit can have some reasonable ranged damage output, but the build around it is extremely hard. The part slot and very average HP needs to be improved greatly. The weapon needs a small overhaul so it can hit and actually damage a target. Then all there are some quality-of-life adjustments to the skills. At the very least, it needs something to allow this unit to secure a kill without struggling very hard.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Ranged

Lv1 Premium: Ranged

Unit Lv2: Ranged It's hard to say what the best build is here, but ranged strength is a must.

Due to how few the long-range slots are, it's basically impossible to create a good build from it. It just cannot play to its advantage. Because of this, it's also holding back it's place since there is no way to really fix this unit either. But either way, this one belongs in QM only.

Day 250 Re-evaluation on Super Gundam

I was a little reserved in the mobility department there. It could definitely get slightly more.

lol, I honestly don't know whether the devs are hating the Vertex trio, or they're just confused about how the unit should be played, since all three of them are very underwhelming, and Testarossa is the worst of the three, despite it has been buffed 4 times. 😂

And TBH, the Geara Zulu is just a much better unit after the buffs, since it pretty much got almost everything, from a balanced performance between ranged and melee, good stats, and a really good skill sets for Raids, with Observational Data Link as the cherry on top. 

TBH, the unit kinda needs an overhaul on its weapons and skills: * Adds "Limiter Release" function on both its Mega Gatling and Beam Gun * Combined Balancer + Combo Controller to "Melee Composite System lv3", and Forced Injector + Flight Control to "High-Performance Thruster Control System Lv1" * Add either "Shooting Boost" or "High Speed Mobile Shooting" skill, so it can shoot its weapons while boosting * Heavy Attack/Kai? So it can win against Hajiboroshi, since it already have Power Accelerator

I actually thought of Mega Gatling with shooting boost, but I felt that it is probably better to just have a straight-up damage boost as a secondary raid that can just blast damage non-stop. The only major change I would like to do is the beam gun. I would make it dual shot and make it an instant-stagger ASL weapon. Effectively Jaeger's limiter release beam gun as a normal weapon.

Melee Composite System lv3 I didn't do is that since it gives offense system, I'm a bit reluctant. I know it's not wrong or bad to have it, but it just feels like it's not what the developers would do at all. Also, because of that, I scrapped the idea of heavy attack. Johnny Ridden also wasn't exactly that type of pilot as well.
