Special Analysis: The Fragility Paradox of Dra-C Custom

Examining the post-update balance between Gatling output and structural vulnerability.

The Capability Gap: Maneuverability vs. Firepower

The Dra-C Custom remains fundamentally inferior in maneuverability compared to the base model, defining its role as a specialized fire-support hybrid.

The Tactical Constraint:
Low HP makes "Maneuver Armor" a high-risk gamble. It creates a paradoxical demand for elite movement skills within a frame that cannot afford a single mistake.

Refurbishment Breakdown: Steel and Suppression

  • Gatling Ammunition Buff: Enhanced uptime allows for consistent suppression—most lethal when coordinated as "Crossfire."
  • MSHP Marginal Increase: A slight buff that forces reliance on evasion over stat-checking, maintaining its status as a high-skill unit.
  • Constraint Synergy: Rewards pilots who can master the transition from Gatling/Sturmfaust to its heavy melee down-swing.

Training Tool or Combat Failure?

The Dra-C Custom has evolved into a perfect "Academy Unit." It is a test of a pilot’s ability to weave through the void without being touched—a gateway to high-cost space excellence.
