The Knight's Bulwark
[Refined & Updated Archive] MS-14A | Gelgoog [Erik Blanke Custom] Conceptual Design #011 [2026 Revised]
In the 2026 meta, the Erik Blanke Custom dares to take a different path. It doesn't rely on speed; it relies on its 4,000-HP Shield and the Shield Parry system to dominate the vanguard.
■ Machine Concept: "Iron Wall of the Avant-Title"
Built for Close-Quarters Attrition. Moving the shield to the left arm allows it to advance while maintaining a defensive posture. It acts as a stable anchor that withstands heavy fire before delivering a devastating counter-charge.
■ Key Special Skills [2026 Edition]
-
Shield Parry (Exclusive Defense):
Negates enemy melee attempts and resets the flow of battle. Compensates for the lack of Maneuver Armor. -
CQC Optimization & Shield Link:
Drastically reduces swap time between Shield and Beam Naginata. Enables a seamless "Shield Bash → Slash" combo. -
Vengeance Awakening:
Upon shield destruction, gain 30s of increased Attack, Defense, and Reload speed. Reflects Erik’s unshakable resolve.
■ Strategic Armament
1. High Mobility G Rocket Launcher [Sub / Instant Stun]
Blistering 1.0s swap time. Provides the crucial "Instant Stagger" to close the distance.
2. Beam Naginata [High-Output Melee]
High melee priority (2) with wide horizontal sweeps. A nightmare in tight spaces.
3. Gelgoog Beam Rifle & Rapid-Fire Sub-Beam
Equipped with a 2-shot rapid fire sub-beam for finishing off low-HP enemies or building stagger from distance.

Editor's Note: This machine requires a pilot who understands timing—when to block, when to parry, and when to strike. Master the shield, and you master the battlefield.
