🔰 PILOT'S BRIEFING: QUICK GUIDE
A strategic support unit that dominates the 300-cost meta by overwriting the battlefield with a "Cold District" field. It doesn't just block enemies; it freezes their momentum to let the frontline "Roses" bloom in safety.
Tactical Tip: Master the "Resist Move Lv2" to survive dives. Use your Signal Flare to slow enemies, but be careful—your Incendiary Grenades will thaw the frostbite debuff!

2026 TACTICAL OVERVIEW
In the 2026 meta, where high-mobility Raids dominate the 300-cost bracket, this Zaku is the ultimate "Gatekeeper." By deploying the Blizzard Field near a relay point, you essentially neuter the enemy's ability to boost-cancel or escape. The Strategic Smoke allows your team to reposition without being spotted, making it the perfect setup for a counter-offensive led by Cold District optimized units. Rotating between area debuffs and stealth buffs is the key to total sector control.
There's something undeniably romantic about the white livery and the "Shield of Zeon" emblem on the Fritz Helmet. It’s not about personal glory; it’s about the stoic pride of the Capital Defense Battalion. Watching a Gouf Custom regain its thrusters at lightning speed within your blizzard while the enemy panics in the "snow" is the peak GBO2 experience.
