GBO2 Xamel: Heavy stagger artillery!

- This video is an ace match I had with the recently buffed LV3 Xamel on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 500 cost support with consistent heavy stagger ability, good ballistic damage and low downtime. Its weaknesses would be its utterly immense size which makes standard support play quite difficult with it. The enemy team in this game was basically always fighting on the other end of the map which is the type of situation where the Xamel excels. The enemy raid was also either stopped from reaching me or seemed to rather want to fight generals instead. I don't think it really could have gone any better apart from the moment where I exited my MS by mistake or when I missed some shots throughout the match. I hope that you enjoy watching!
The primary ranged weapon of the Xamel is a missile launcher with 225 power, 24 ammo, 400m range, 0.5 seconds swap, 10 seconds reload and 6% stagger value. The slow RoF makes these hard to stun with but the DPS of them is about the same as a primary weapon machine gun and they can be fired while boosting. You will usually be using your cannons for damage though so these are mostly for finishing off or for attacking while retreating.
Its primary melee weapon is its own fists with 1300 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.5 seconds swap and standard modifiers. This has absolutely awful range like T-Rex arms on attacks other than the downswing, and even that is short range. You should never really be using this but sometimes a lucky downswing can hit for you to run away with after.
Its first sub weapon is a HE type cannon with 1600 power, 12 ammo, 650m range, 5 seconds cooldown, 10 seconds reload, 1.5 seconds swap and 70% stagger value. This has large splash radius, instant stagger and high ballistic damage. You will either be using this to stun people with or to combo with after a heavy stagger shell.
Its second sub weapon is a cluster type cannon with 1200 power, 12 ammo, 650m range, 4 seconds cooldown, 10 seconds reload, 1.5 seconds swap and 0% stagger value. This cannot stagger in any way but has incredibly huge splash radius which makes it ideal for finishing low HP enemies or as a combo ender.
Its third sub weapon is a APFSDS type cannon with 1900 power, 6 ammo, 900m range, 8 seconds cooldown, 15 seconds reload and 3 seconds swap. This is your typical combo starter and boasts high damage and heavy stagger ability. This was buffed recently to increase the hitbox of the bullet which makes it easy to use. It is essentially used the same way as the rifle on Zudah F, but with more ammo.
Its fourth sub weapon is a vulcan gun with 20 power, 30 ammo, 150m range, 450 RPM, 6 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap and 6% stagger value. This has absolutely awful damage with less than 200 DPS and has short range. It staggers at the same speed as Jeda vulcans but that is the only good point.
The Xamel has 19000 HP, 24 ballistic/beam defence and 6 melee defence. These stats are all quite high apart from the melee defence. Paradoxically though, it isn't squishy in melee because of its tank type i-frames. Tank types recover from a knockdown animation much quicker which massively reduces the amount of damage you take from melee combos.
You also have 125 hover speed, 190 boost speed, 70 thrust and 54 turn speed. This is more similar to the mobility of 600 cost supports but you won't be using it to dodge shots on account of your humongous size. It is still useful for travelling around the map and repositioning though.
Your skills are all standard for tank type MS with skills like LV1 Precision Shelling. Though instead of stun resistance when crouching, you get LV1 Shock Dampeners for perpetual instant stagger resistance. This makes it much harder to stunlock you at midrange though you are still vulnerable to build staggers due to no Damage Control skill.
Overall I think that while the Xamel is quite situational and map dependent, it can really excel in the situations where it is useful. It can basically output a steady stream of staggers and heavy staggers with little to no downtime. Its ballistic damage is also quite a threat to deal with. Of course the major issue with it is that it is gigantic, so it can easily get harrassed by long range build stagger despite its resistance to instant stun. Since the buff I would say the Xamel is still worse overall than the similar Dom Gnomides, but now has some specific aspects which are stronger. I would more readily recommend that you learn a 500 cost support which is less map dependent but if you like the artillery playstyle of lower cost tanks then the Xamel might just be for you. Thanks for watching and I hope that you enjoyed it!

I wonder how the Xamel launches from the ship
Xamel: Soullessly moves forward
Imagine it's launch sequence but with stone scraping sounds when it starts moving
I still remember when I brought the Xamel to that one map with the destroyed arena in the middle. A giant suit designed for ranged combat fighting in close city streets. Oh yeah, and the enemy team had a stealth suit. I'll let you imagine how that went.
What relaxing gameplay, just nice comfy Artillery from the Top of a Hill raining death upon your enemies below.
I honestly don't even think i've seen Gameplay of this Mobile Suit in GBO2
Yeah it honestly kinda sucked before so I can see why nobody would want to play it. Thanks for watching!
The legacy of the cannon age is not old!!
Based and Artillery-pilled, oomfie
So true oomfer
@@avenger1_gbo260 needs more dakka its vulcans do work def use them to deal w rushing raids vs the rockets
Absolutely amazing xamel play and the background music was super fitting 🤘🏻
I gotta applaud your skill with the utmost respect. Char would be proud.
1:49 hahahah! The classic Artillery MS "zoom out while crouched weapon swithing but no, actually surprise unintended ejection" oopsie.
If there wasn't at least one in the video I'd be disappointed.
Yeah lmao I hate how its like that for crouched tank MS
King of the mountain xamal!
Sipping ☕🍪
If only the Ez8 WR was good for this map
I wish that they would buff EZ8 WR
POV: playing World of Tanks but downloaded a wrong game
Fun fact if u land the heavy stager u can combo whit the 3 canons
Combo sniper Shell + artillery Shell and end whyt aoe one
I try to do that combo but its not always consistent. The rigidity/stiffness after firing the gun is kinda long so you often can't 100% confirm the AoE cannon.
Now that's what I call a hell of a tank plus it did major damage to the enemy team we just long-range weapons I hope that thing doesn't appear in armored core 6 imagine what it would look like an armored core since that game has a lot of weapons and its related to bandai namco
God I hate this map so friggin much.. been seeing alot of xamels lately, I can see why.
i mentioned it in comments on a dif vid a while back xamels guns being ontop of it can shoot over the edge of the trench line in a good many spots which is cheese as hell
its hard to stagger so like the fazz can get counters easy or stun and chip down rushers and w it being all ballistic it does alot of dmg
@@Nomadic_Gaming GP02 also works well on this map and super gundam too(but super gundam needs adequate teammates to keep raids away)
@@Westside_Hippie yup mlrs is fun on this map trenches make good use of the shield
super is ok just boost rocket spam down a trench line or cut a corner then downswing
xamel can out range it w the heavy stagger shot as can gnomes and i think hildorf 900 solid range for that bad boy
ive recently been running xamel at 700 alot on every map to get a feel for it
my jobs helping stagger kill or cripple anything frontline is on and counter sniping other supports if they are present
its got great stagger vs the current 700 bs meta right now and its hella tanky (mines 50 50 40)
its honestly a solid support pick if you are aggressive or have an aggressive team and snipe and move so you are targeted by a rogue raid and pushed solo but even then it has options
i feel like me hype talking the shit out of 700 xamel lead this :)
especially given how much i kept sayings its a god support on trenches
have you tried the legs/back/head damage up on the 650/700 cost version?
700 cost no cause Phenex can heal allies legs, making it kinda pointless. But I might try it for 650.
The Loto is the same cost as this thing
Can you start makeing videos for top clan suite to use druing clan matches please 🙏🙂💕
I have a few videos planned for the future like that actually!
@@avenger1_gbo260 that would be great just to give people a idea what to use to better there chances to to keep there eye open to watch out for
