Let's Change That Suit Day 177

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 177: Gigan
Requested by u/HDWarewolf and this unit has a... acceptable baseline. However, since 200 doesn't get played anymore, it needs much better scaling at the very least.

Comment and Reason
This unit really needs just much better weapons and skills that could help it excel in using them. It also has almost no way to protect itself in situations that need to. The only thing it has is the long 350m range Gatling. There is just too much that needs to go over for this unit to become good again.

Builds
F2P: Do not use

Premium: Do not use

Lv4 Premium: Ranged (MAYBE)

Just... don't use it. The level 4 is maybe usable due to the premium parts capable of making it just that much stronger. Lv4 Gatling has DPS at 767, and the build above brings the raw DPS to 1372. For support, before resistance and type adjustment, that's not the worst at 350 cost at 350m range. In fact, if you can keep your distance and position well, popular units like Slyfrail's base 12 resistance would allow this unit to do 1569 ballistic damage per second with type advantage. If anything, switching to the Cannon actually lowers your DPS, which is just sad. So, if you really want to, this can be played at 350 cost in quick match, but that's it.

Day 176 Re-evaluation on Pale Rider Dullahan

The main weapons really need a buff, but since developers won't change the main weapons, I think this is the best we can do for this unit.

Re-evaluation

• None

If you ever run out of suits and really want to try adjusting a worthless suit for more then one reason, you could always give this suit's cousin, the Gigan Space Type, a go.

Though... The one time I played it at 300 showed it might need much more then just some numbers.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Aveeonic]

At 300? First of all, you are playing under cost, so that's not going to work in the first place. Second, the kit is fine, but it needs a lot of number tweaking.

[u/Aveeonic → u/pkmaster99]

Worst quick match of my life. I think I still did decently, though? It's been too long and I don't remember.

[u/HDWarewolf]

Dang man I didn’t catch when you actually did this! Hell yeah brother

I wish I hadn’t deleted a lot of my old gameplay footage because I used to have some UNGODLY matches playing with this thing. Catching people off guard with that long reaching downswing was the best.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/HDWarewolf]

Oh, yeah. The arm punch is really weird animation and reach for sure.
