The Struggle for Recognition

Since 2019, the Heavy Gundam has struggled with its identity as a Support lacking instant-stagger. It remains a niche choice, demanding deep technical understanding of its unique firing cycle.

Firepower Through Accumulation

At 450-cost, this machine operates as a mid-range "attacker":

  • Maneuverability: Exceptional speed and Balancer skill provide superior self-defense.
  • The Accumulation Meta: Controls the field through the high fire rate of its Frame Launcher.
  • Team Synergy: Effectiveness peaks when fire is concentrated alongside mid-guard allies.

The Heavy Gundam is for those who value positioning over raw stun. Its strength lies in the hands of elite users who can land the devastating, fully charged Beam Cannon.

A heavy hitter for those who master the art of sustained pressure.
