Special Analysis: Hambrabi (Update 07/2020)
The transformation specialist that defied early skepticism to dominate the 600-cost meta.
Breaking the Meta: More than a Flying Marasai
Upon release, Hambrabi was compared to the Gaplant, with many doubting its necessity. However, it quickly carved a niche as a hard-counter to the GP02 [MLRS]. Unlike its peers (Marasai and Gabthley), Hambrabi boasts Melee Priority LV3, granting it a significant edge in the high-stakes melee clashes of the 600-cost battlefield.
The Aerial Assassin: Unique Transformation Logic
What truly sets Hambrabi apart is its specialized flight mechanics:
- Efficient Desaturation: The unit features a unique specification where thruster consumption upon exiting transformation is significantly reduced. This allows for fluid transitions between strafing runs and ground assaults.
- Nimble Hitbox: Despite its large wings, the core unit is surprisingly "small," contributing to its top-tier turning performance and rumors of exceptional lateral and backward movement speeds.
- Technical Mastery: While it lacks the sheer stability of the Gaplant, Hambrabi rewards high-skill pilots who can leverage its complex sub-weapons and movement quirks.
Conclusion: The Predator of the Skies
Hambrabi is a unit with a high ceiling for technical intervention. It isn't just a high-cost Raid; it's a precision tool designed to dismantle the strongest Support units. For those who can master its unique flight logic and timing, it stands as one of the most terrifying predators on the battlefield—a small, fast, and high-priority threat that leaves no room for error.
