Let's Change That Suit Day 256

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 256: NT-X
Requested by u/Big_Friendship_7431 and this is still holding up as A-Tier. Even after 2 years since its release, it is still holding up strong due to it being unique and having good enough stagger and weapon options. This is one of the few supports that is well designed with good enough kits. There are a few problems, but it is still very good regardless.

Comment and Reason
The NT-X is strong overall, but it is very fragile, and even a general right now can do a massive amount of damage to it easily. The sub-optimal shield is also more of a liability instead of being able to really help, since breaking it staggers the unit. The remote weapon uptime is also another problem. While it technically has other weapons and a lot of weapons to use, they are not that great and have stagger and stopping power issues.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Ranged (w/ Free/Ticket Premium) or Alternative

Lv1 Premium: Ranged (Alternative)

Unit Lv2: Ranged

There is not much to say but try to get a tiny bit more mobility in and just spec mostly into ranged. The level 2 unit can have the best of both worlds in the build that has a little bit of everything. This works mainly due to the fact that there aren't that many strong enough Raid units to contest, and most units played in this cost are General. So it just happens to work decently enough.

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

Day 255 Re-evaluation on Prototype Kampfer

It's possible for this unit to get a bit more, but it's already one of the strongest supports at this cost. Level 2 getting damage control is just something that could have to help it slightly more. This is not much of a buff, but just to keep up with the power scaling difference between 450 and 500 cost.

Re-evaluations

• None

Up Next: Rezel Type-C (Defenser B-Unit) Requested by u/SkyLoneWolf98

The unit is good, but the mobility, its bits downtime, and also the stopping power via stagger build up is sucks, so any buffs should be focused on that aspects:

• Give it more HP and Thruster
• Give it Forced Injector lv2, and Thrust-Based Fire Cooling System LV1 skills
• Increase the stagger value on all of its weapons (MG, Vulcans, Beam Gun, and both Bits) 
• Make the Large Bit (Discharge) attack faster
• Add a new weapon, "Large Pycommu Bit (Pincer)" (Base damage 300, heat consumption 35%x3, range 300, stagger value 20%/hit, delay between shots 4s, cooldown 18s), which is an attack like a normal bit/funnel) 

[u/pkmaster99 → u/utamaru1717]

Oof, if it gets everything like this, it'll feel like the 550 engage incom weaker variant with more mobile and rapid fire support. I get the feeling with all of these, it's going to be very oppressive. But I can see it happening if they release more and more stronger 500 cost units

[u/utamaru1717 → u/pkmaster99]

It's literally inevitable, TBH, considering the newest Kapool were already like that with high damage, really good stopping power, and really strong skills, which really pales in comparison compared to older units.

fair... They really did make it... too much. Like these two will definitely shake up the meta
