GBO2 Column #017: Gundam GP02 [MLRS]
A strategic analysis of the MLRS's rise to dominance in high-cost battles. (Context: Oct 31, 2020)
The Path to Acceptance
First appearing on September 26, 2019, the MLRS evolved into a trusted Support for 550–650 cost rules. Its accessibility improved significantly on May 25, 2020, via the recycle ticket pool.
The Logic of Survival & Firepower
The MLRS's enduring presence is driven by three core factors:
- The Monstrous Shield: A nearly indestructible barrier that nullifies BR staggers.
- Live Ammunition: Crushes enemies who over-rely on beam resistance builds.
- Surprising Mobility: High-speed movement allows for aggressive positioning.
Current Standing
Despite new rivals, it remains a reliable staple. It is a unit that consistently fulfills its role in the high-cost Support category.
A fortress with engines—defining the front-line Support.
