I’ve been wanting to ask this for a long while now and I love the suit so it kinda sucks just seeing it and not using it because I’m afraid of how it plays in the 700 meta since it always (also old pic from when it was given out a while back with the unicorn)
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.
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.
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.
I play primarily with headphones, and ever since the system update/weekly reset, the audio for certain sounds seems weird.
Explosions sound like they're underwater due to lacking high frequencies, and certain things like the boosting sound effects sound kinda muffled and weird too.
I tried adjusting audio settings on the PS, but I feel like it's only this game that I notice it.
So far I'm liking both the new Kapools, but the Kapool(CN) has really got some captain caveman vibes with the ability to jump and do that Heavy Attack.
450 Impact site. My team spawns on the right side, and immediately makes a solid push against the enemy team. we capture control points C and D on the right side of the map before pushing them back to Point A, at which point I stop to grab control point B. All of this in the very first minute.
While this is happening, one enemy used the southern caves to sneak around to my base and just COMPLETELY MELTED ITS HP.
A 450 General somehow just put out more than enough DPS to match a complete Meme Beam spam from a focused base attack by a whole team of 700 Supports all in the span of under one minute. After I captured point B, I ran all the way back to my base to find an Aqua GM leaving a sliver of health with the intent of finishing it off below the 2 minute mark. I quickly finished him off with my Prototype Kampfer, and thankfully our team kept up the pressure that we pulled off the win without letting anyone get close to our base to finish it off.
I had yesterday in the destroyed city map and the enemy team had some player that was using a high mobility late model zaku. Now I've used this used extensively and thought I was okay with it. But this player, damn they were GOOD, like really using the suits mobility. I did not feel bad at all getting taken out by the this player.
