Special Analysis: Gouf Custom LV4 vs. The Meta
Analyzing the cost-efficiency gap and a proposal for "Modern Refurbishment." (Context: 2020)
The Epitome of GBO2: R-Jarja vs. Gouf Custom
In the 500-cost environment, the R-Jarja (LV1) eclipses the Gouf Custom in nearly every metric. High-level units often struggle to compete with native cost powerhouses.
The Reality:
"Outdated" units are inevitably swallowed by power inflation. To survive, they require more than just stat bumps; they need a fundamental rework of their tactical role.

Proposed Refurbishment (Delusion Plan)
- Weapon Rework: Gatling Shield to a 3-bullet burst mode for increased hit density and restraint.
- Heat Rod Buff: Damage 1600 → 2000, Cool time 6s → 5s. Make it a lethal tactical tool.
- Melee Multipliers: Directional corrections (Lateral: 100%, Downward: 140%) to reward successful aggression.
- Survival Skills: Addition of Damage Control LV2 and Evasion LV2 to survive the 500-cost focus fire.
Waiting for Reality to Catch Up
The Gouf Custom remains a brittle attacker. While iconic, it requires these "delusional" adjustments to be anything more than a nostalgic choice. We wait for official operations to bridge the gap.
