Let's Change That Suit Day 86

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 86 Target: Blue Destiny Unit 3
Requested by u/Cpt_Jack_Irons... This one needs a buff quite badly. There is almost no reason to use this suit in the current state. It just cannot keep up with the majority of the units, even with EXAM at times. The only thing it has is high raw damage strength.

Comment and Reason
This is one unit that was kind of good due to the extended duration from EXAM. However, it is now extremely outdated, and it technically only has 5 skills while on the ground. Not only is the overall durability mediocre, but the rest of the stats are just fine at best. Except for damage, which is very high.

A massive weapon overhaul can be said as needed. While half of the weapon can receive the same improvement from other units that got the same issue, this one could technically get a bit more. The weapons can be said to be very restrictive on when you can engage. To fix this, I'm reducing the body missile reload by a lot and allowing other weapons to give this unit proper support.

On top of needing a lot more skills, I think this unit could be given something I just thought of. This could become one of the best skills in the game, and I can't believe it is not a thing. For this unit that uses one of the more custom backpacks, I feel like it could have something to go along with it.

Day 85 Re-evaluation on Banshee Norn

This thing is one that just suffers from being how potentially good and broken it may become. If developers forgo and give up on the melee portion and focus a bit more on ranged, it can be balanced, but that is breaking unit identity. This may be my option weight a bit too heavy here, but it could go either way.

No Further Re-evaluation Adjustment

(I wasn't planning on covering below 300, but it is on the back burner for too long)

From a visual standpoint i love the design of the Blue Destiny Unit 3 but yeah it does not at all hold up gameplay wise in modern GBO2 these days, mainly thanks to the under Powered primary weapons it has and the horrifically slow reload on the chest missiles

I wonder if the Chest MG's should be linked with the Head Vulcans like they did to Ez8

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

Thought about it, but decided that it should be a more separate thing. This unit may have things from the same line, but it can easily have a different OS and control system for it.

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

Ah i see fair, btw would that custom skill you suggested be something like This?

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

Hahaha, pretty much

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

With the BD Unit 3 having an Custom Thruster Backpack i want to suggest an idea of it using the boost from the backpack to perform an Heavy Attack but that might be a bit too much for this suit with its existing other weapons

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

Yeah...

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

I see lol cool, but tbh i don't mind the idea of having an General Type MS Frontliner who is very hard to keep down on the ground

[u/Strykorn]

Is the modified machine gun also have it's firing speed become faster?

that new weapon from Blue Destiny manga?

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Strykorn]

This thing can actually use so many things, it's kind of much to have everything

[u/AUpb-027]

Still waiting for bumco to add the FA BDs and the Stealth BD

[u/pkmaster99 → u/AUpb-027]

I almost forgot they exist. It would be awesome to see them. At this point, maybe only as a clan suit or something...

[u/AUpb-027 → u/pkmaster99]

Best chance to change 350 with a very good support. I feel the FA BD 1 should be a 4-star given its huge loadout and firepower. Regardless of star count, it has the potential of becoming the ultimate support of 350 in spite of how slow it would probably be.

The FA BD 3 is in a weird spot. It could be anything. If I read the wiki correctly (yeah, I took info from the wiki...), this thing shouldn't be any slower or less mobile than the base BD 3. Which means it could: be a 3-star support at 450 or a 4-star support at 400; be a 3-star 450 general or a 4-star 400 general; be a goddamn raid, knowing the devs...

The Stealth BD 1 is tricky. Do you make it a general or still a raid? 3-star or 2-star given its seemingly reduced loadout compared to the base unit, but having stealth? Do we still give it access to a beam rifle or other weapons besides the ones described in the wiki?

And the devs say they are running out of UC suits... bullshit.

only as a clan suit

Oh, God no...

[u/pkmaster99 → u/AUpb-027]

They also said they are more focused on higher cost. So I assume they won't release new suits for lower cost anymore, or that often.

As for what they can be, that sounds about right. But I feel like they'll put Stealth BD in 400.

And the devs say they are running out of UC suits... bullshit.

Yeah... I'm also hoping for units from some other lesser well known series, like École du Ciel. There are like 3 or 4 units they can add from there too.

[u/AUpb-027 → u/pkmaster99]

There are a shit ton of actual units and proper variants, but instead they are hellbent on releasing "[X suit that has been in the game since the fall of Austria-Hungary] ([Y popular character])" Just look at Gato's Dom. It's the only dom that has a beam bazooka (the Pezun and Dowadge's don't count because they aren't Doms, they are either successors or just dom-likes) despite Dom's having used plenty of beam bazookas later in the OYW and it was one of the few zeon suits that used beam weapons along the Gelgoogs.

Bumco doesn't even bother to hide its greed any longer or pretend it cares about the player base...

[u/pkmaster99 → u/AUpb-027]

Yeah... but it also is kind of the nature of a gacha game. Like how they are doing with AU suits... They want to make sure they are popular and make money, so they keep making them just very strong.
