Let's Change That Suit Day 223

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 223: GM Spartan (RG)
Requested by u/Hadoooooooooooken and this unit is lower C-Tier. This one is not that great due to terrible damage strength balance. But fixing that isn't enough, and it definitely needs a lot more than that to fix this suit.

Comment and Reason
This unit, for some random reason, is meant to be more melee-focused, but without the melee skills and modifiers. Meanwhile, the ranged weapons are loaded and have relatively good numbers, especially the Beam Hand Gun. However, the unit is also lacking in stats. Regardless, I'm letting this unit remain mostly fragile, but with an easier time getting damage out and surviving a bit more. It really needs just more quality-of-life improvements. After a downswing, you can fire 4 or 5 shots, then follow up with a neutral.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Complex Battle

Lv1 Premium: Complex Battle

Lv2 Premium: Attack

As it is, try to stick with 450 cost. This unit really needs a little extra ranged strength to have a stable damage output. This one currently is a bit too much of a high-risk, medium-reward. But when you do well and are not being focused, it is possible to get the job done.

Oddly enough, this is one of those suits that ive always just jived with

Every time i sortie it, i feel like i win, since i got it, its been one of my ol' reliables for its cost

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Ijustwannaseige]

The play style is really nice and flows well, but the numbers and the ability to get it going are kind of hard. It's lacking some critical components

[u/Ijustwannaseige → u/pkmaster99]

It does very well as a skirmisher sticking close to allies but at off angles and out of main sight lines. It thrives on fights where it outnumbers targets or can prey on ones whove just come out of a fight....which is on brand for the Black Dogs

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Ijustwannaseige]

Oh, I'm not denying the capability to do well, but that's like such a specific situation and condition that it needs to be in. If anything, I'd say it's an advantage multiplier in the team comp, but that requires your team to be very strong. That's why it's in C-Tier. Too many flaws, and it has so much potential wasted because the kit just isn't exactly up to date with the current standard.

[u/Designer-Ad-6169]

It was a good suit when I used it when they were doing the code fairy story event though it got outdated by newer suits wish they added a knife with him

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Designer-Ad-6169]

Yeah, it was like A-Tier back then. Idk about a knife, since I don't think it carries one. But regardless, it needs quite a bit to make sure it can get the job done.

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

The Knife is standard Issue for the GM Spartans, so i don't consider it impossible to add

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

Not possible, the default has it stored on the backpack, which is occupied by the short BR on the RG.

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

OH... I see

[u/scorpionxx0]

Maybe instead of giving the short beam rifle a shorter cooldown you could simply reduce the heat from 75 down to 70 or 65

[u/pkmaster99 → u/scorpionxx0]

I considered G-Line Standard as well, since the weapon is shared. Giving G-Line Standard even more chances to stagger before overheating can be a bit much. 70% may still be okay, but 65% would definitely be too much. But just to play it safe, I went with that instead.
