GBO2 Full Armor Striker Custom: Plays like a raid?!

- This video contains two recent matches I had with the LV2 FA Striker Custom on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 500-550 cost general with high durability, three high damage melee weapons, high mobility in Demon Blade mode and two instant staggers. Its major weaknesses would be extremely mediocre mobility when DB mode is not activated, low melee modifier before DB mode activates and awkward melee reach/patterns. I feel like this suit is pretty underrated but still not the greatest. These matches had some pretty scuffed moments but I feel like this is at least partially because I am inexperienced with the MS. I still thought it was a solid showcase of the strengths and weaknesses though, so I hope that you enjoy watching!
The primary weapon of the LV2 FA Striker Custom is a double beam rifle with 1050x2 power, 5.5 seconds cooldown, 45%x2 heat, 18 seconds overheat, 0.77 seconds cooldown, 355m range and 10%x2 stagger value. This consumes 90% heat in total and fires two instant stagger shots, but you can swap to another weapon before the second shot fires to always have a stun available on 5.5 seconds cooldown without overheating.
Its primary melee weapon is a knuckle dagger with 1890 power, 3 seconds cooldown, 0.77 seconds swap time, 70% combo modifier, 100% side swing modifier and 90%x2 downswing modifier. This has short reach and a downswing that cannot hit most knocked down enemies, but it is the highest damage combo starter available thanks to the inherent modifiers. Stunlocking is possible by alternating between your other melee weapons and stuns.
Its first sub weapon is a chest missile bay with 275x6 power, 6 ammo, 15 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap time, 400m range and 35%x6 stagger value. This has a more reliable spread than the same weapon on FA Gundam and more damage. It stops to fire though, so using this is awkward for stunning.
Its second sub weapon is a leg missile pod with 350x2 power, 16 ammo, 300 RPM, 12 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap, 350m range, 1750x2 DPS and 5%x2 stagger value. This stops to fire and cannot stun on its own, but has immense damage output. It can follow up on your own stuns or allied knockdown to melt enemies.
Its third sub weapon is a back cannon with 1850 power, 4 ammo, 5 seconds cooldown, 12 seconds reload, 1.7 seconds swap time, 450m range and 70% stagger value. This stops to fire but instant staggers with a large splash radius. It is hard to confirm melee from this alone but it can combo into the beam rifle to make it easier.
Its fourth sub weapon is a cold katana with 2500 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.33 seconds swap time and standard modifiers. This has normal modifiers, short reach and cannot swing twice, but the high base power means it can do great damage off downswings. The fast swap time makes this easy to confirm or to use in the middle of combos.
Its fifth sub weapon is a twin beam saber with 2520 power, 5 seconds cooldown, 1 second swap time and standard modifiers. This is awkward to handle because of the long cooldown and swap time, but has high power and long reach which makes it a practical combo starter even when you haven't used a stun first.
The LV2 FA Striker Custom has 20000 HP, 28 ballistic defence, 22 beam defence and 26 melee defence. This is really bulky considering the suits small size, further bolstered by a 30% right arm buffer and a 10% buffer for the legs. It has LV1 Maneuver Armor as the only defensive skill, but this is added on to by LV2 Emergency Evasion once Demon Blade activates.
It also has 125 (140) walk speed, 195 (215) boost speed, 55 thrust (-50% consumption) and 57 (97) turning speed. It has very poor mobility before it activates, but once you activate LV2 Demon Blade via the touchpad it gets the listed stats in brackets for 75 seconds in addition to high melee priority and +40 melee modifier. The legs and head instantly break once it deactivates but you are extremely nimble with huge damage output while it is turned on. It also has LV1 Forced Injector before activation but LV2 afterwards.
Overall while I think FA Striker Custom isn't bad, it isn't particularly strong either. It struggles with stun accumulation where Geara Doga and Galluss-J both excel at it, while also only matching their melee damage with DB mode on rather than exceeding it. They also have superior durability, heavy stagger melee and don't need a time limited mode to get a dodge roll. There isn't much reason to use FA Striker over them as a result. FA Striker should be reworked in my opinion, with more stagger value on the beam rifle, two swings and more downswing power on the cold katana and more mobility in normal mode with less of a boost from DB mode in compensation. These buffs would probably equalize the playing field a little for FA Striker. Thanks for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed it!

Insane first game. You clutched it out so hard and brought it home. God damn, son, I will never play at your level. Proud of you, sploomfie.

This suit just doesn't play like a Raid. You just do, haha. It's still a potent suit if people play to its strengths and its array of weapons. Juggling its melee is probably the only roughest part of learning it, truth be told. Great round as usual.
I feel like it's the suit that change it style from mid line to close combat melee like unicorn. But lower cost and couple of cons.
@@arifsalahudin6673 Demon Mode just unlocks it’s full potential. Like most gems, they can midline if they have the tools, and punish harshly at close if the opportunity presents itself.
Me, a geara doga main: how hard can it be?
i honestly never bother with its double saber asides as a followup downswing to the big katana since hot swap setting all 3 to face buttons feels jank and i can katana downswing boost just tap swap into double sabers
the knuckles and katana doing lunging downswings means they get hot swap priority
overall this thing asides its melee as someone who usually support mains i just love its plethora of dps and stuns and no dodge and just MA well im used to no dodge on supports and some of my fav raids have MA only and some gens so no big and if i can get a flank and demon mode and rush a distracted team and help my team come out of the brawl on top cowabunga it is
1v1 this thing demon or not tho if u know how to juggle is terrifyingly good at just bullying people
i dont see this thing often but its damn good
i don't have it but I've run into a lot of these, the only major weakness as mentioned is the lack of mobility outside of Demon Blade which you can't really fault it for considering it's a Full Armor suit.
outside of that I think it could have DC1 or a dodge roll normally. maybe even a complete rework of the beam gun into something like the GM Dominance's beam gun with the old 2 instant stuns as a charged shot?
Ive been meaning to try this suit again. I bet it's super fun once you master it.
It definitely feels like it
That quad kill was nice
As a striker custom player, the full armor is a dream GM for me lol
outside of demon mode this suits def got a unique play style of stuns and downswings galore but no dodge so u dont wanna frontline u wanna backup the frontline wait for someone to bully one on one or u can demon mode and unga bunga cowabunga it is if u want but this thing brings a support level of stuns along w good melee to the frontline to help deal w raids so its got a very solid specialist role feel to it in terms of how to use it most effectively at its cost
i think if u have a bulldog on ur team tho who is aggressive and stays w the main line u and it have the kit to just lockdown 2-4 enemy players w stuns and knockdowns for a second or keep 2 enemies just bogged down and chipped away at and i only say that as i’ve noticed lately certain suits have other suits the play extremely well with as long as the person playing them is half decent they compliment each others kits so to speak
this suit in good hands tho absolutely a boon to a frontline
That first game was nuts! Way to turn it around!
OH MY GODDDD THANK YOU
NOOOOO YOU CANNOT JUST HAVE KIT FOR BOTH RANGES
Haha demon blade melee dance go slash
Still waiting on the buff for this😢
I remember get the lvl 1 and 2 add the same time i was like rng Jesús was in My side
I really clowned on this MS a lot in its first few weeks. Its modd combination of strengths can easily lead to players mishandling resources and misjudging their limits. Now that the hype has passed and the herd has thinned, this MS is much scarier to see on the field. Used correctly, it can an unpredictable menace with no totally reliable counters. I'm glad to see such a wonky kit work out
If only the other weapons weren't stop to fire then it would have more survivability outside of demon blade mode but I guess the intention is to make it so that it has to go in to get the good damage
I like the fa sc but it haz way too meni wepons
fun tip hot swap certain ones and get used to swapping then tapping for the wep afterwards
since some weps on suits like this will always be in a bad hot swap position thats the best way to handle it ive found for this the FA gm3 powered the zwei the jesta cannon etc etc
Can you try gundam mk III next?it would be interesting to see how you’ll handle that thing
It is hard to get a good game in it since it is weak, but I will definitely do it eventually.
@@avenger1_gbo260 it’s ok,take your time.I’m a highly patient man
If I can play Desert Zaku like a Support anything is possible
it got melt real quick cuz of how average it resist. 😅
