Gun Cannon Detector & Hyaku-Shiki

GBO2 Review Archive #007

Date I first wrote this article - Apr, 10, 2020
The mobile suit implemented today is the "Gun Cannon Detector". It is a unit that expresses the skills of the stabilization device by partially transforming the unit. The large body occupies the screen but is powerful, and the operation is reminiscent of driving a machine. I think the unit is challenging for color painting. 

"Hyaku-Shiki" performance has been adjusted, and we have seen some responses as to whether we could adapt in the same cost environment. The performance improvement is highly evaluated. However, I was impressed that there was no improvement in the dissatisfaction with this unit. This unit cannot carry out long range attacks continuously, and it has been pointed out that the melee attacks are unstable, fragile to counterattack, and slow to approach. It would have been hoped that these improvements would be made for this time of adjustment, but it did not come true. 

In my opinion, it is unlikely that the disadvantage of "fragile against melee attacks from enemies" will be resolved. As an alternative, the avoidance performance has been improved. However, the two skills used in parallel, "Maneuver-Armor" and "Forced Injector", are inconsistent with each other, and it cannot be said that their survival has improved. Perhaps it would be nice to have a skill that frees you from the stress of "Over Boost" or similar thruster management. 

Personally, when a unit exists and can be driven, it is highly rated. However, since "GBO2" is a competitive game, it is unavoidable to value the battle performance of each unit. Certain units are greatly appreciated and otherwise not compliant. Units with a lot of instability are likely to be avoided. There are strong opinions that this unit is not yet compliant, but that may be a problem only now. Nobody knows the future competition environment.
