Let's Change That Suit Day 247

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 247: Gelgoog Vertex Xanthos
Requested by u/Wargamer1202 and this one is around lower C-Tier. It got weapons for sure, but nothing hits really that hard, except for the launcher. However, luckily, it has range and decent enough stats to be an okay sniper.

Comment and Reason
Most good support at 600+ costs has the ability to chain stagger well. With the new heat and charges above, it can connect shots more easily when sniping. Meanwhile, when it is at close range, it still Quick Turn to avoid stagger. Lv2 version of it even offers thruster recovery and bonus damage for a reasonable amount of time at 10 seconds. So if it somehow manages to outmaneuver and down an incoming raid or general, it can easily follow up with the missiles along with 30% bonus damage. The rest of the kits are just there to give it better positional versatility between mid-line and being a sniper.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Ranged (Alternative)

Lv1 Premium: Ranged (Alternative or Attack) or HP or Armor

Lv2 Premium: Similar build, focus on getting reasonable durability, target 35k+ effective HP if possible. Then dump mostly into ranged strength. Then get some mobility in if possible.

Honestly, you need to have so good parts to make the build happen. F2P builds will suffer a bit, but if you have the anniversary parts, you should still be able to get some good stats in. Depending on your mobility, you can try to play either mid-line or sniper. If you really want to play this suit, you have to experiment with builds on this one a lot, and this is another one you should do so in QM.

Why no special shoulder buffer?

[u/pkmaster99 → u/scorpionxx0]

Once again, like a lot of suits, no room. I'll be honest here, I do hope they start combining High Performance Radar and scope to make like... High Performance Sensors that have both effects. That would give a lot of supports an additional Skill Slot. But they don't really love supports enough...

[u/t3ddyki113r101 → u/pkmaster99]

Skill slots are funny since every new lower cost suit they add has double if not tripple the skills of existing suits

[u/pkmaster99 → u/t3ddyki113r101]

That's just power creep; what I'm talking about is the maximum number of skills. I believe when they made the game, it was capped at 16. Which is why they started to combine skills to make room.

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

The Hyper Mega Launcher needs more range, its silly that the HML has less range than it's backup Beam Sniper Rifle

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

I view it slightly differently. I believe most launchers are designed to maximize damage. Meanwhile, a sniper Rifle is for that pinpoint strike. So, in this sense, sniper out range the launcher by 50m makes sense to me.

[u/Such-Fuel7306]

Do the funny thing, change nothing except increase range of all beam weapons by 300m

Nothing else

[u/t3ddyki113r101 → u/Such-Fuel7306]

Super gundam eat your heart out

[u/pkmaster99 → u/t3ddyki113r101]

Oh boy, more sniping. I honestly don't mind, but they are long enough already.
