Special Analysis #108: The-O (650-750 General)

Special Analysis: The-O (650-750 General)

The giant that once dominated the frontline. While its fundamental brawling capabilities remain intact, The-O struggles to find a clear "win condition" in an era of Flap Boosters and specialized Heavy Attacks.

Current Limitation: The Earth-Bound Brawler

The-O relies on its twin sabers and dual Beam Rifles to dictate close-range combat. However, its lack of vertical mobility makes it easy prey for airborne threats it cannot reach. While Damage Control provides some resilience, its melee animations leave it dangerously exposed to being "cut" by enemy support fire. It lacks a defining niche to justify its pick over more specialized modern units.

Tactical Gap: As Raids gain Power Accelerator Lv2 and Heavy Attacks, The-O's standard high-priority melee is no longer the undisputed king of the scramble. It needs a new way to force its presence on the battlefield.

Proposed Role: The "Ground Executioner"

If other units are specialized in grounding flyers, The-O should be redefined as the unit that eliminates them the moment they touch the earth. We propose shifting its focus toward "Unstoppable Momentum" through the following technical upgrades:

Proposed Tactical Upgrades:

• Offense System Lv1: Grant this skill to allow its high-priority melee to override enemy resistance. Ideally, this would upgrade to Lv2 during Bio-Sensor activation, making it a true juggernaut.
• High-Speed Forward Fire: Enable primary and sub-weapon fire during forward high-speed movement, including a 20% bonus to build-up stagger values.
• The 225% Accumulation: With the sub-rapid beam rifle available during high-speed movement, its theoretical build-up potential reaches 225%. This ensures any grounded target is forcibly halted.
• Bio-Sensor Synergy: Upon activation, grant Thrust-Based Fire Cooling System Lv1 for its weapons, allowing it to maintain an aggressive fire-and-charge cycle without overheating.

Conclusion

By enhancing its ability to "push" and providing it with tools to bridge the engagement gap through fire-while-moving, The-O can reclaim its status as a frontline terror. It would no longer be a unit that "just survives," but a unit that "hunts" those forced back to the ground. In a world of anti-air specialists, The-O becomes the ultimate cleanup crew.

Special Analysis #107: Qubeley (650-750 General)

Special Analysis: Qubeley (650-750 General)

The 650-cost's original king. A sophisticated specialist in funnel warfare that now struggles with physical fragility and outdated movement logic in a "One-Man Army" environment.

Current Standing: High Skill, High Risk

The Qubeley excels at harassment through its three types of funnels, but it is plagued by severe limitations. It lacks Maneuver Armor, and its massive shoulder binders—while having buffers—often act as magnets for incoming fire. Without "Resonance" active, its offensive and defensive uptime is insufficient for the high-octane 700-cost meta.

Fatal Weakness: A lack of instant-stagger variety and defensive movement makes it extremely vulnerable to melee-focused units once caught. It relies heavily on team synergy to be effective.

Proposed "Master Interceptor" Overhaul

To restore the Qubeley to its former glory, we propose shifting its role toward a "High-End Defensive Interceptor" with enhanced vertical survivability:

Proposed Adjustments:

• Binder Reaction Resistance: Grant the shoulder buffers projectile reaction resistance (similar to the Kshatriya), turning them into a viable shield against high-altitude fire.
• Anti-Air Hand Launcher: Add "Anti-Air Bonus" to the main Beam Gun. This allows for immediate grounding of flyers, synergizing perfectly with the "Full Attack" skill during funnel deployment.
• High-Speed Evasion Control: Implement the touch-pad evasion skill (currently exclusive to the GQuuuuuuX) to provide a safety net during its otherwise defenseless high-speed movement.

Conclusion

These changes would transform the Qubeley from a "team-dependent harasser" into a "durable aerial gatekeeper." By leveraging its natural Damage Control and adding specialized anti-air and evasion tools, the Qubeley can finally survive the melee-heavy frontline while grounding the persistent threats from above. It wouldn't just be "back"—it would be indispensable.
