Gabiluzbad
[SRW] Okay everyone playing this who is your A-Team
Gabiluzbad
I basically always deploy Edge, Amuro, Ryoma, Koji, Fuu, Hikari, Yuta/Gridman
Gabiluzbad
and then just kind of rotate any remaining slots based on a combination of who needs EXP, who is plot relevant, and who I'm just vibing with at that exact moment
Gabiluzbad
With Bright as my backup battleship
AzureChrysanthemum
Ernie is stupidly good so I use him a fair bit
Gabiluzbad
he's on my B Team
AzureChrysanthemum
Mamoru and Kaidou I use a lot but you don't like GGG as much
Gabiluzbad
Oh right Kallen is also on my A-Team
AzureChrysanthemum
Basically any GaoGaiGar mech is stupidly powerful in any SRW game
AzureChrysanthemum
Suzaku is pretty decent
Gabiluzbad
The B-Team is like, the GGG guys, Suzaku, Char, Tetsuya...
Gabiluzbad
Ernie, definitely
AzureChrysanthemum
Daba is actually really good once he gets his upgrade so long as he has Hit&Away
Gabiluzbad
I recently got Daba's upgrade and I was kinda unimpressed
AzureChrysanthemum
Since he has an attack with a range of like, 10 or 11
Gabiluzbad
Like it's already I guess
Gabiluzbad
alright*
AzureChrysanthemum
It's kind of in the same boat as Amuro with the Fin Funnels
Gabiluzbad
The difference is that Fin Funnels are WAY cooler
AzureChrysanthemum
I use Char but honestly the Hyaku Shiki Kai is extremely underwhelming
Gabiluzbad
It is
AzureChrysanthemum
Kamille is... all right
Gabiluzbad
He's alright
Gabiluzbad
So is the last Rayearth girl
AzureChrysanthemum
Uso is VERY good once he gets his upgrade
AzureChrysanthemum
Umi is basically Hikaru but less impressive
Gabiluzbad
Umi
Quinneapolis
A Team: Miku, Ernie, Ange, Gridman, Ryoma, Guy, Amuro, Koji, Hikaru
Quinneapolis
B Team: Umi, Fuu, Uso, Tetsuya, Jona, Mamoru, Kallen, Lelouch
Quinneapolis
Battleships: Dreisstrager > Ra Cailum > the MJP thing
AzureChrysanthemum
Lelouch is definitely a fun character since he has a command aura and the tactical abilities so he's a good B tier for sure
AzureChrysanthemum
Plus CC has all the best support skills
AzureChrysanthemum
(That's another advantage of Daba, his fairy ALSO has all the best support skills)
AzureChrysanthemum
The Mazingers are pretty good but not overwhelmingly so, I know Koji at least gets a late game upgrade
Quinneapolis
Koji's main appeal is that he's functionally unkillable
AzureChrysanthemum
It's really funny how since it's Mazinger Infinity or whatever
AzureChrysanthemum
Both Mazinger Z and Great can like, actually dodge
AzureChrysanthemum
And there's a conversation later about Koji finally learning how to dodge
Gabiluzbad
Koji can take an ABSURD amount of punishment it's true
Quinneapolis
Infinity has some fucking great action scenes and it paid off in SRW letting him dodge
Quinneapolis
I don't love Umi but like
Quinneapolis
if I'm gonna bring two Rayearths I'm gonna bring all three
Gabiluzbad
just so
AzureChrysanthemum
The Rayearths have a MAJOR upgrade over their T incarnations
AzureChrysanthemum
In that when you unlock it, ALL THREE can initiate their teamup attack
Gabiluzbad
I can see how Umi's supposed to be built
Gabiluzbad
She's supposed to be a defensive counter monster
Gabiluzbad
But she's just too fragile to pull it off really well
Quinneapolis
put her next to support defenders? but yeah she's not great
Cold XC
me with my extreme bias just shoving a massive evade booster onto her
Quinneapolis
the magic of SRW is that if you really love a mech
AzureChrysanthemum
Yeah Umi benefits from power parts that give her extra evasion for sure
Quinneapolis
you can make it work
AzureChrysanthemum
Fuu is just. The best support in any game she appears in
Gabiluzbad
Mainly I just like Hikaru for being a real solid workhorse who can get in there and do a shit ton of damage with little fuss
AzureChrysanthemum
Hikaru also has Fortune which is a nice bonus
Gabiluzbad
And Fuu is my highest level pilot just from healing
Gabiluzbad
I'm having her snipe kills when convenient to see if I can push her up to ACE
Gabiluzbad
And of course
Gabiluzbad
The Dreisstrager
Gabiluzbad
is a fucking monster
AzureChrysanthemum
Yeah it is
AzureChrysanthemum
Mitsuba is honestly my favorite of the new originals I love her
Cold XC
But yeah I'm the Knights, Yuta, Hyoma, Uso because the V2 is fucking sweet when you get it, Ryoma, Az of course as some of my top
AzureChrysanthemum
But that's probably a bit my bias since I love Saori Hayami
Cold XC
Fuu's Ace bonus is worth sticking a Proud Ace skill on to get early
Cold XC
imo
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
a-team: miku, gridman, char, amuro, hikaru, umi, fuu
Gabiluzbad
Amuro is
Gabiluzbad
SO fucking good
Gabiluzbad
Like his mech is alright
Gabiluzbad
but as a pilot my god
Gabiluzbad
the counter and the double attack skills just make it so that if anyone even LOOKS at Amuro they immediately take 14000 damage
Cold XC
Amuro gets a lot of love, Koji, swapping the GGG units around, Aska lol, OH RIGHT VAN too
Gabiluzbad
I haven't been using Van a lot
Gabiluzbad
But I feel like he could be really good if I was
AzureChrysanthemum
oh yeah Van is amazing
AzureChrysanthemum
He just needs enough levels in him to learn Accel
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
i try to play around with everyone else except for uh
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
whatshisfuck
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
randy?
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
that guy never gets used, ever
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
fuck that guy
AzureChrysanthemum
If that's the horny fuck from MJP then mood
AzureChrysanthemum
Well, one of the three, and one of the two guys
AzureChrysanthemum
Because MJP is just Like That
Cold XC
Van's biggest thing is sticking morale boosting parts or skills on him
Cold XC
he doesn't get any Spirit or Drive but he really wants to activate his high morale skills
AzureChrysanthemum
Van in terms of play style is very close to Kyosuke/Alteisen
AzureChrysanthemum
Although I'd say his Spirit set is slightly better with Wall over Focus
BattroidBattery
J is seriously ridiculously good
BattroidBattery
his percent damage bonuses against enemies and air and space add up to a lot and his universal damage reduction means he takes like no damage if you give him decent armor power parts
BattroidBattery
Van is probably my go-to for just clearing out a whole stage with one character
BattroidBattery
Hikaru is super strong early and the Rayearth girls as a team are really good for just spamming their combo attack everywhere. Her spirit setup is kind of bad though, at least for a franchise main character.
BattroidBattery
but anyway I legit think J is the best GGG character until you get Final GGG in the endgame, as long as you don't bring him out on maps where his bonuses won't apply. But that's probably only like 15-20% of them.
Princess Emily
A Team: Miku, Hikaru, Gridman, Umi, Koji, Kallen
連続犬
Umi is less of a Dodge and counter and more of a Sniper ime
連続犬
give her Hit and Away and enough SP to use Snipe consistently and she nukes plenty of stuff from a billion miles away
連続犬
anyway A-Team: Edge, Koji, Ryoma, Amuro, Char, Hikaru, Umi, Fuu, Gridman, Daba
連続犬
B-Team: The other Main Gundam Pilots (Uso/Kamille/Jona), Tatsuya, the Code Geasses (Kallen/Suzaku, don't have Lelouch yet), Van, GaoGaiGo
連続犬
Third String: Ernie, MJP, The OGs(Cybaster/SR-X), Combattler V, J-Decker And Friends
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
oh, combattler's part of my a-team
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
i love a stupid combining team
連続犬
honestly I love combattler but I had to bench them because they were just vacuuming up levels/kills and now I have too many units to swap back to them consistently to catch them up
連続犬
Also my delineation is
連続犬
A-Team: Always deploy unless they're overleveled
連続犬
B-Team: First to cycle in if any A-Team Member is overleveled
連続犬
C-Team: Kept upgraded for forced deployments, but not intentionally deployed at this point
連続犬
and the below the C-Team/Third String is like
連続犬
Randy, the Centaur Mecha duo from Knights and Magic, basically all the non-main Gundam Pilots
