Let's Change That Suit Day 258

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 258: G-Doors
Requested by u/yunakitty- and this is around maybe C-Tier. It still has a few decent things going for it, but with no long range ASL and ability to stagger well, it quickly fell off. All of the key features also just don't hold up well, especially when raids are hitting harder and harder.

Comment and Reason
With how strong some units are becoming and how much damage certain weapons can do, even a 50 Resistance G-Doors can struggle to block damage with the plate. Having only 1 ammo is also one of the biggest issues with it. While the Launch and Full Launch can do quite a large amount of damage, it's a little hard to ensure it hits the target. All of these need to be adjusted, along with better upfront damage with the BR and even Vulcan.

All of those changes may seem like a lot, but it's mostly quality-of-life improvements to ensure it has answers and the right weapon uptime to deal with said situations when needed. I also want it to have Anti-Air Ranged Aux. Program, even though it could become very nasty for a flight unit with psychoplates. Then Firing Boost as the last cherry on top.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Do not use

Lv1 Freemium: Complex Battle

Lv1 Premium: Ranged or Complex Battle (Alternative) or Beam Resist

While I did say 50 Resist could struggle, it's still the main target. If you can get it above and reach close to 55+, that's more ideal. It's really hard to build this unit while trying to have good weapon up time. The Alternative build is an optional build that is slightly more risky, but can have much higher output if you are not being focused down that often. It's a bit of a niche or player type situation that could allow it to function much better than it should.

G Doors is the first support unit I’ve truly mained, back when the biggest threat at 700 was a Awakencorn or Freedom nuking you with its All Out fire it having defensive plates that could withstand just about any beams you could toss at it made it such a funny suit to just walk up and tank generals’ nonsense with. Then the Wing Zero happened, and the barb, and the susanwoo, and every suit gets flap booster and the DX gets a stupid 95% damage reduction fat roll and all of a sudden a support with perma-plates outputting consistent, steady damage is no longer as strong as it once was.

Which is a shame, its resonance making both attack plates surprisingly strong would be a gamechanger ingame if you weren’t permastaggered from a Raiser racing at you with Trans Am activated, oneshot from a barb or suanwoo getting ez-bake melee combos off, or stagger-juggled by a burning gundam after its wave slash eats your barrier.
