SC#073: Armor Purge (Alex) / AP-ALX
Armor Purge (Alex) / AP-ALX
sc-073 CHOBAM ARMOR DETACHMENT & LOGIC RELEASE
A high-priority tactical shift program unique to the RX-78NT-1. By shedding the Chobam Armor(Sub-Weapon/Shield), either manually or upon structural failure, the unit bypasses hardware limiters to restore its original high-spec mobility and combat functions.
- STATUS RECOVERY: Clears all damage, accumulation, and reactions. Restores all part HP.
- MOBILITY BOOST: MS Speed +10 / HSM +10 / Enhanced Turning.
- LOGIC UNLOCK: Melee Combo Controller Lv1 / Emergency Evasion Lv2.
Phase Shift: From Fortress to Striker
The purge sequence initiates a momentary "Absolute Defense" state, neutralizing all incoming kinetic energy during the detachment phase. Once the heavy armor plates are discarded, the reactor's output—previously consumed by stabilizing the added mass—is diverted entirely to the actuators and thrusters, shifting the MS into its intended high-maneuverability profile.
Operational Vulnerability
While the Chobam Armor provides immense protection, it remains susceptible to high-torque structural stress. Attacks that bypass external plating—specifically Heavy Attacks and Close-Quarters Counters Action—will transmit damage directly to the internal frame, potentially compromising the unit before the purge logic can be activated.

SA#117: Gundam X Divider
Special Analysis: Gundam X Divider
COST 650-700 / General-Purpose MS
[Disclaimer: This report is a theoretical tactical projection based on the 30th anniversary of "After War Gundam X." No official confirmation from developers exists at this time.]
As we approach the milestone year of 2026, the demand for "After War" units in GBO2 has reached a fever pitch. While the GX-9900 Satellite System is iconic, its integration into the current high-cost meta presents a catastrophic engineering paradox.
Technical Rejection: Why the Satellite Cannon Fails
Initial simulations for the standard Gundam X focused on the Satellite Cannon. However, this loadout was discarded for the following tactical reasons:
- The "Statue" Dilemma: A charge time exceeding 20-30 seconds forces the MS into a stationary state, making it a liability in the high-speed 650-700 cost skirmishes dominated by high-mobility raids.
- Overkill vs. Utility: Map-based weaponry often sacrifices consistency for raw damage. In an environment where Build-up Stagger and instant pressure are king, a single-shot "all or nothing" weapon lacks the flexibility required for frontline survival.
- Satellite System: Low operational frequency and high vulnerability during moonlight reception.
- Flash System (Remote): Technical difficulty in balancing "Bit" MS as sub-units without cluttering the UI or radar.
Proposed Concept: The Harmonica Revolution
The Gundam X Divider offers a far more "professional" solution. By replacing the problematic satellite system with the Divider—a multi-functional shield—the unit transitions from a glass cannon to a versatile frontline predator.
| Harmonica Beam Cannon (Diffusion) | 35% x 10 Build-up Stagger |
| Divider Thruster Mode | Thruster Consumption -25% |
| Active Guard Kai (Shield Integrated) | Reduces Damage by 80% |
| High Maneuver Armor Lv2 | Active during Divider Boost |
Tactical Conclusion
The Gundam X Divider represents the pinnacle of "After War" adaptability. By utilizing the Divider as a high-output thruster, the unit achieves a movement speed comparable to the Zeta series while maintaining the defensive profile of a heavy armored general. Its ability to switch between "Shield Defense" and "High Mobility Mode" allows it to dictate the pace of the engagement, shattering the current meta's reliance on singular instant-stagger rotations.

SA#116: ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus
Special Analysis: ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus
COST 700 / RAID (ASSAULT)
Summary: A primitive beast that shatters the U.C. beam-centric meta through kinetic dominance and irregular maneuverability.
Current Limitation: Technological Anachronism
The arrival of the "Gundam Frame" introduces a fundamental shift in combat logic. Unlike Universal Century units reliant on E-cap technology, the Barbatos Lupus utilizes dual Ahab Reactors and Nano-Laminate Armor, rendering traditional beam weaponry significantly less effective. However, its lack of conventional flight systems or "Flap Booster" technology initially suggested a disadvantage in the 700-cost verticality meta. The reliance on pure ground-based movement was perceived as a critical limitation—until the integration of the Alaya-Vijnana System's true potential.
- Critical Weakness: Total absence of Beam-based weaponry and vulnerability to high-altitude kiting from traditional flight-type units.
- Environmental Friction: High skill ceiling required to manage the transition between ground dashes and "Tactical Boost" cancellations.
Proposed Role: 3D Irregular Disruptor
The core of this unit's threat lies in Tactical Boost. While previously seen in lower-cost experiments like the Gundam EX, the Lupus elevates this to a lethal art form. By utilizing jump-cancels post-melee, it bypasses the predictable "landing stiffness" that pilots typically exploit. This creates an erratic, predator-like movement pattern that is nearly impossible to track with standard fire-control systems.
| Nano-Laminate Armor | Reduced Ranged Damage / Reduced Accumulation |
| Tactical Boost | Melee-to-Jump Cancel / High-Speed Vertical Mobility |
| Sword Mace (Heavy Attack) | Extreme Kinetic Stun / High-Priority Pierce |
Tactical Conclusion
The Barbatos Lupus is not merely a "new unit"—it is the herald of a "Fourth Maneuver Paradigm." It forces a transition away from simple flight/transform logic into a complex, high-speed melee dance. While the technical barrier to entry has increased, those who master this primitive kinetic monster will find themselves at the apex of the current ecosystem, where "newest" translates directly to "most optimized for survival."
