GBO2 Column #001: The Essence of Support & Eye-Zack
Redefining the Support role: Beyond fire support to information connectivity. (Context: Oct 2020)
The Omnipotence of General Types
In high-cost matches, powerful General types have become almost omnipotent. This shift has weakened the presence of Raids and pressured Supports to either become powerhouses themselves or risk obsolescence.
Eye-Zack: Cooperation Over Inflation
The Eye-Zack introduces strength through Information Connectivity:
- Survival via Awareness: Shared intel allows for a consistent, sustained team score.
- Bridging the Gap: Reduces the difficulty of cooperation for improvised (non-clan) teams.
- Balanced Design: Individually weak, ensuring it doesn't cause power inflation while remaining a clear target for Raids.
A New Paradigm for Support
Support machines are the "connectors" of the battlefield. The Eye-Zack proves that helping a team function as a cohesive unit is as valuable as raw damage, offering a healthier path than simple stat inflation.
