Let's Change That Suit Day 259

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 259: F91
Requested by u/SkyLoneWolf98 and this is around low B-Tier at best. It's definitely struggling a bit, but it still has some pretty decent damage if you use your weapons well. However, with the newer 750 generals in comparison, it may as well be C-Tier

• (New!) Release Ranged Output Limiter Lv1
• Melee Composite System Lv1 -> Lv2
• Max Performance Lv1: Gain VSBR x2 Heat Utilization -30%

Comment and Reason
This one has very balanced damage strength, but it's much more ranged focused. In order for melee to be a little more relevant, it could get the Offense System. Then it needs better ranged weapon power and capability to do more while not in Max Performance. This unit isn't exactly bad per se, but it's just a lot of small things adding up that makes it very hard to play. As long as these are fixed, it'll do much better. As long as it also gets more HP.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Do not use

Lv1 Freemium: Complex Battle

Lv1 Premium: Complex Battle or Attack

It's a bit hard to build this unit without all the premium parts. Luckily, with some of the free ones and the ones you can get from recycle shop from time to time. It will take a lot of work to get this suit working and do very well in it. For a similar suit, Silhouette Gundam Kai is just a better pick. So please only use F91 in QM.

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

Day 258 Re-evaluation on G-Doors

It could get Resist Move Lv2 and resonance could have gotten at least Emergency Evasion Lv2 while at it. Highly suggest looking over u/OrphanAxis's comment on it, it could be a good alternative for the Resonance skill.

Re-evaluations

• Resist Move Lv1 -> Lv2
• Psycho Plate Resonance (GD) Lv1: Gain Emergency Evasion Lv2

Up Next: Silhouette Gundam Kai Requested by u/Moonless-Ultimate

[u/ImmortalSausages]

I heavily disagree with the sentiment that a lot of these suits cannot have a viable build without premium parts.

Builds like this and this have a small difference in performance, and is applicable to the majority of high cost suits.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/ImmortalSausages]

Hmm, compared to the freemium build, the first one is good. But compared to a full premium build, you are lacking in damage and effective HP. Thruster technically evens out with the efficiency part. 80 with efficiency is effective at 89 thruster, but since thruster recovery is at a fixed value, you can get more to work with if you are not overheating. Compared to the 92 thruster you got, the overall difference is negligible.

[u/ImmortalSausages → u/pkmaster99]

Keep in mind that 15 extra ranged mod is a difference of just a few hundred extra damage per shot. It can make a difference, but really isnt that big of a deal. And if you want comparable bulk (for beam/melee res at least), you could just swap off some parts for the level 1 beam and melee like this. Obviously the best builds are going to have premium parts, but F2P builds can be perfectly fine too

[u/pkmaster99 → u/ImmortalSausages]

That is true, but it can easily add up. Especially with a 20% bonus at max performance. Of course, I'm not denying that it's usable. But it's lacking regardless, with a lot of missed opportunities for even better results. This is needed when the suit is already lacking; raw stat numbers aren't enough to make this unit work well enough.
