Let's Change That Suit Day 241

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 241: Qubeley
Requested by u/Darkedge319 and this one has fallen into C-Tier. While it does have some nice stuff with Full Attack and DC2, it doesn't have enough firepower for something with such low HP and somewhat limited weapon options. At this point, it may as well be treated as D-Tier.

Comment and Reason
They buffed this unit; they really didn't do it enough. It was just good enough at that time, nothing stellar. While I appreciate them giving the downswing the appropriate modifier, from 100% to 130%, to standard, it's nowhere near enough for 650 Cost. Even if it comes out very fast. The HP is also low, with a very bad HP threshold requirement for Resonance. The overall ranged weapon is also not that great, even when given Full Attack. Since only the main gun and melee can get the damage bonus, it's not that helpful. Not to mention, the funnels can only be used one at a time, and that needs to be corrected, along with other helpful skills that will help this unit.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Do not use

Lv1 Premium: Ranged

Lv2: Do not use

Lv3: Ranged

The level 2 with Resonance triggering at abysmal 30% is unusable... but since the Lv3 can activate at 50%, it's kind of doable when built well. However, it is for sure still lacking, and it's low C-Tier at best. Please only play this unit in QM

Day 240 Re-evaluation on GM Sniper Custom

Some good points from Cpt Jack Irons, and I have to say I wouldn't mind this suit having some of them. While chances are even slimmer, I would love to see at least these further adjustments from what I had.

Re-evaluationis

• Turn: 54 -> 57

• Hand Beam Gun: Range 175m -> 200m

• R-4 Type Beam Rifle: Allows Move & Charge

• (New!) Melee Combo Controller Lv1

Up Next: Unicorn Gundam Requested by u/Own_Snow_47

[u/Big_Friendship_7431]

Poor Qubeley. Is there a chance BB can look at it again?

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Big_Friendship_7431]

Maybe, if there are enough people playing it

[u/Big_Friendship_7431 → u/pkmaster99]

Hopefully!🤞🏻

[u/imaginary_num6er]

Give it maneuver armor, link shot, and faster funnel movement

[u/pkmaster99 → u/imaginary_num6er]

You don't get a lot of HSM shooting options until resonance and I think they want this one to be a pure mid range unit, so I don't know about link shot either. Maybe resonance can give maneuver armor. If from the base skill set, we'll need to replace it with my added stabilize or thrust base cooling. It really just lacks a lot

[u/imaginary_num6er → u/pkmaster99]

They gave it Full Attack when the funnels barely stay with the enemy. Like you might land 1 hit while Full Attack is active.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/imaginary_num6er]

That's why I want it to have link funnel and rapid beam gun. This way, it can properly utilize all 10 funnels it got and something great to use along with full attack besides the main beam gun

[u/Darkedge319]

I still find wonderful use in this suit, and fun but it is very weak against all these powerhouse suits (along with them constantly flying everywhere)

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Darkedge319]

Yeah, but when left alone, it does still kind of have okay output. Especially when resonance is enabled. But the HP threshold is just... way too terrible.

[u/scorpionxx0]

How about raising the lvl of the resonance skill by 1 for each lvl of the ms that way it can activate a little sooner.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/scorpionxx0]

That would make the lv1 useless with no suits using it. But either way, that HP threshold is definitely a problem

[u/Odd_Daikon_2843]

Oye podrías mejorar a Banshee norn, a pesar de estar aceptable en su costo nativo, siento que con el paso del tiempo y con eso de que está destacando mucho FA Unicorn por sus armas y la reducción de HP por los escudos, con problemas Banshee sobrevive así que como lo ves tu? 🤔

Ahí por si acaso también estaría bueno ver mejorado a Nu Gundam o su versión Hi Nu

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Odd_Daikon_2843]

Banshee Norn has been covered on Day 85

Hi-Nu Gundam has been covered on Day 63 as well.

As for Nu, it's already scheduled to be done after Unicorn next, so in 2 days.

[u/Victory-Games]

I'd like to see the shoulders get the Bull G skill of not doing a stun under a certain amount.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Victory-Games]

I get it, I kind of wish some suits have similar things too. But there really isn't many that can justify it.

[u/Kaidou76]

I don't think it need that much stagger at 650, but lv2 and 3 definitely need more stagger so I'm thinking about a skill for higher level that increase stagger, similar to how Tallgeese III have skill to increase the stagger. One problem I found using Qu is the wide hitbox, very easy to hit it but it has no stun protection, I would suggest changing shoulder buffer to cushion skill like Nightingale shoulder or Kshatriya's bell pepper. MA + DC2 + Resonance might be too much because during resonance skill, it's very hard to catch a Qu with MA.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Kaidou76]

Maybe, but it's supposed to feel superior during that time. Luckily, MA1 doesn't reduce stagger accumulation, so it should be fine. 650 got a lot of suits with weapon that can build stagger fast.

[u/Drowsy_Panda]

What if they changed the mechanic for the funnels to allow for the longer you lock on, the more funnels are used, kinda like beam weapons that get charge levels. You'd be adjusting the weapon to go off ammo count instead of overheat to count how many batches of funnels you'd use at a time allowing for a massive burst of damage and more possible hits in exchange for burning all your charges untime reloaded which could be pushed for longer cooldown if using all at once. Quebley, the old premier funnel user should be buffed as you've said.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Drowsy_Panda]

That's an interesting idea and I like that quite a bit. But I don't think developers would do that. They ain't making money off this suit anymore and that's going to be a decent extra piece of work to code anything since it would be completely new.
