Special Analysis: Gelgoog Cannon (450-600 Support)
The rebirth of an orthodox fire-support specialist. Through a significant overhaul of its armament and mobility, the Gelgoog Cannon has secured its position as a durable pillar of the backline.
The "BR Renewal" Catalyst
The most impactful change is the transition from the Rocket Bazooka to its new Dedicated Beam Rifle. This weapon provides instant stagger with rapid switch speeds, allowing for seamless transitions into its signature shoulder cannon. This adjustment proves that giving legacy units dedicated modern weaponry is the key to their revitalization.
Survival through Resilience: Damage Control
Unlike many fragile Support units, the Gelgoog Cannon is built to stay on the field. Its high HP, Leg Buffer skills, and—crucially—Damage Control provide it with 130% stagger resistance. It cannot be easily downed by simple 50%x2 combos, forcing opponents to overcommit to silence its fire.
- Mobility Upgrade: Equipped with high thruster speed and a Balancer, it can keep pace with Generals and even contribute to melee defense when necessary.
- Cost Nuance: While it is an "Entry-level Masterpiece" at its starting cost (450), its reliance on raw durability over tactical versatility makes it a more challenging, expert-oriented pick at higher levels (600).
Conclusion
The Gelgoog Cannon is the epitome of the "Consistent Contributor." It trades complex gimmicks for sheer tenacity and firepower. By staying alive and silent in its duty, it generates a steady stream of kills and assists. Its success serves as a blueprint for how older MS can be modernized without losing their fundamental identity.
