  • Gundam Evolution Season 2 is here and Nu Gundam has landed!
    This suit looked very strong in the early trailers but will that power translate to actual gameplay? With a bazooka, funnels, and a gigantic shield it's hard to imagine it won't.
    So should you unlock Nu Gundam? Hopefully this video can guide you to a decision.

    I agree that I think Nu needs some buffs. Maybe I had my expectations too high because Nu gundam is my favorite in the Gundam franchise, but I feel like he could use some tweaks. The bazooka and also the ult just feel really weak. I also think it was a weird choice to have the funnels go to a location and then just sit there to shoot the target rather than actively following them around. Idk why but I expected some kind of tracking on them, so it feels weird that they miss decently often, especially on highly mobile suits like Exia. I'd prob accept a reduction to their damage if it just meant their damage was more guaranteed and didn't miss.

      It's weird seeing a nu gundam that can't use his iconic beam saber or punch the shit out of someone. Also having his beam rifle switch between rapid and a single fire to emulate the burst select feature wouldve made the suit better while pleasing fans. (Which is weird cause in the trailer the nu gundam was show rapid firing his br like in the anime)

    I think he needs a slight buff. The base Gundam is significantly better than Nu. Like, no contest. Nu is incredibly fun, but fun doesn't win games. I suppose you could argue his ultimate wins games, since you can defuse safely (sort of) but thats kind of it.

      I dunno. Nu Gundam feels....incredibly weak to me. Maybe I'm just terrible at him. I don't know what it is, but like...I can't hit anything with it. I can play the RX-78 pretty well, and I can play Turn-A decently enough(Even with his charge up rifle mechanics). And I feel like Turn-A's shooting is very similar to Nu Gundam, but like...I can't hit shit with Nu Gundam to even build up any funnel stacks. And when I do finally get 1 or 2 stacks, I'm pretty much getting bulldozed and at 200 hp and dead.

    I think his vakues are fine but his controls feel... as you put it, "awkward". Why can mahiroo's bombs or methus' turret keep up after death but Nu's funnels can't continue after launched when dead? Then the matter of the cannon... it's a nice utility to dodge AND deal damage hut I think a default button press should keep you still to shoot jt rather than force a movement. I also think funnels should deal damage to a shielded target only when the beams hit behind the shield. It definitely feels like a mid range class and has great potential even with ita current values but I definitely think it could "feel" better.

    had some good time with nu on ranked. the suit is good if the map is more open. def not a suit for tight quarter fights. the quick firing rate + rapid reload + funnel is very good at chipping and picking low health enemy.
    one interesting thing i've noticed on the nu gundam japanese tooltips is that it says funnel mark will be applied to the target hit by bazooka. guess they've removed it prior to season2 launch but didnt update the jp tooltips

    The issue with nu gundam is probably the huge hit box being close to sazabi sized, so you normally end up getting focused because of how easy it is to hit nu gundam. Ult and bazooka definitely needs some buffs to be good, but the suit is honestly not worth the capital for f2p.

    There few things that i downright dint like about its kit or feels kinda off.
    Fin Funnels deal 200 dmg each - 0 mark = 200 dmg / 1 mark = 4 funnels = 800 dmg / 2 mark = 6 funnels = 1200 dmg
    What i dont like about this funnels :
    Everytime you shot an enemy, his HP bar surely have gone half then you contemplating if you wanna full mark or no mark to spawn the funnels. But when you cast the skill, the enemy already dead by your rifle, or your team finish them off, or the funnels way to slow to track the enemy, OR your funnels most of the time only do the cleanup job of removing knockdown mobile suits. And not to forget you cant mark any shielded unit like sazabi or GM. I was hoping you can mark shielded enemy straight away and burn their shield.
    second, his rifle. I do not know for the life of me, why is it so hard to land hits. My sniping on GM Sniper and RX/MARASAI way easier and more accurate to hit. His left click is everywhere when you not even spamming. When you right click to zoom well you move too slow enemy will pick you off easily.
    Third is Ult. His ult for me is downright useless. How to counter it ? easy. Just use guntank plane explode inside, or ask your barbatos to only ult when Nu gundam ults, because his ult downright phase through Nu gundam ult, kill nu inside. OR ask your exia to right click dash hit the Nu gundam, what happen is i dash hit enemy nu gundam yesterday at harbour city while he ult, and he fallen off the platform into the sea because exia dash has knockback. lol.
    And lastly he's stupidly tall with his funnel on shoulder. easily get hit.

      Also most Funnel attack can be dodge by only dashing and high mobility like Dom, shield user can dash and use shield to block rest funnel from opposite dash u do, basically trash skill without any purpose to get advantage from mechanic in game
      Only to solve it is giving mark on shield MS so the skill is for Shield destroyer (since they slow when shielding, all funnel can hit em)
      Imagine being Tank Stat but no recovery/shield to tank, only ulti that took long time to charge

      The problem is, u can only get Capital From Gamepass only after finishing Beginners, and now they only give 2000 again in season 2 so u gated by limited currency to unlock all Unit (It's crazy new Season, Bandai Only add 1 new MS and only give us 2000 capital to unlock 1 MS)

  • @GodSeffro

    Dashing backward or just generally around in a circle with the 3 dash speed characters causes the funnels to miss, transforming into a plane causes them to miss, backing to a wall with a shield causes them to hit only from the front, guntank dash causes them to miss, and the sniper jumpad causes them to miss. So the funnels are downright useless to the majority of the roster unless they happen to go down before hand. Twice on dom I was below 400 hp and had several fly at me and i just still had the same hp after the funnels, they just dont reliably hit.
    The bazooka I use almost entirely for movement to stay at a distance as hes ok at midrange. The melee characters make such short work of him that cant really call him good would easily say sazabi is better against melee due to shotgun. The ult is good for teamfights and planting but little else. All and all I regret buying with the points as mahiro much stronger this patch, melee zaku/ exia far better at staying alive and dealing damage
    By far unicorn is strongest when it comes to winning by a landslide, some games my enemies are so tightly glued to the front of unicorn that he cant die unless I ape him, needs to be one on every team as the ones without will constantly be low hp or split up trying to grab health packs that they get picked off. Second strongest is marusai; his ult is just an “I win” button and pre-firing around corners with the hook is just guaranteed to hit everyone for a free kill and only shields counter specifically the hook while the ult just doesnt care.

      @@Harmonic14Exia can get a lot of value but one hook and hes dead. You could argue to dodge it but there is no dodging the ult which he can build freely on your allies one free kill at a time. A good team will deathball while glued to the unicorn, if they have a methus as well theres no real dps a character has that can single any of them out, you have to get through and added 400 added to each of them plus the healing, even more if theres a dom or gm. Ive had games with an exia on both teams and the one that was getting healed and armored always won out so support skills are not to be underestimated. 1v1s just dont happen if they dont split up, especially on maps like harbor where its one big lane.
      Biggest cheese is just running exia, barb and marasai with a unicorn cause you are forcing a 6v3
      Each will stun removing a characters damage from the teamfight. On a side note bullying exia with guntank is pretty easy, no matter what guntank cannot miss so its a matter of time till downed.

      @UltraKardas ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The sentence you are looking for is "I think Nu is balanced".
      Thing is, Nu has design conflicts. He has the health and ultimate of a frontline tank, with a medium range slowish firing weapon. His normal combat encourages him to act like a sniper, get shots in then deploy his funnels for a kill. His Ultimate on the other hand, is completely close range (If you want the damage portion of it).
      Nu's greatest weakness is that he doesn't build stacks on shielded units. So Ironically.... Sazabi counters the Nu Gundam as the Saz shield prevents Funnel stacks, and Sazabi has noticeably more mobility with his dash skill. This means that in a 1 v 1 Sazabi has more options available to it.
      He definitely needs some tweaks. His Ult is weak.
