Expectations and Environmental Shifts
Debuting in April 2020, the FA 7th Gundam was praised for its mobility. However, as the meta shifted, its reliance on accumulated damage faced stiff opposition, leading to necessary adjustments.
Mobility vs. Armament
At 550-cost, this machine defies its class with exceptional agility:

- The Accumulation Crisis: Suppression via missiles is increasingly countered by enemy Damage Control skills.
