GBO2 RX-0 Phenex: The scourge of 700 cost!

- This video contains two recent rated matches I had with the Unicorn Gundam Phenex on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 700 cost general with insane shooting damage, amazing melee ability, good durability in Awaken mode, a stun blocking barrier, an MA breaking ram attack, best downswing in the game with the tonfa, great stun accumulation, team healing ability and high mobility. It has no weaknesses, other than its shooting damage being lowered to simply above average once Awaken activates. It isn't even that vulnerable before NT-D turns on like the Unicorn is. This suit has a very high skill ceiling that I have not yet reached, but I made another video with it just to show off how broken the suit is. I hope that you enjoy watching!
The primary weapon of the Phenex is a beam magnum with 3600 power, 5 ammo, 350m range, 6 seconds cooldown, 14 seconds reload, 0.8 seconds focus and 10% stagger value. This needs to focus before firing but has a slight splash radius and extremely high power.
Its primary melee weapon is a single saber in normal mode or two sabers in NT-D mode. This has 2800 (2900) power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.77 (0.5) seconds swap time, standard melee modifiers in normal mode with 150% downswing modifier and 70% combo modifier in NT-D. These have the standard Federation swings in normal mode but have a unique moveset in NT-D.
Its first sub weapon is a head vulcan with 150 power, 40 ammo, 600 RPM, 11 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap, 200m range, 1500 DPS and 6% stagger value. These have insanely high power and stun potential for vulcans. They pair very well with your lock on Armed Armor attack for more damage and stun accumulation.
Its second sub weapon is a back beam cannon with 1200x2 (1500x2) power, 50% (80%) heat, 1 (4) seconds cooldown cooldown, 450m range, 18 seconds overheat and 35%x2 stagger value. These don't instant stagger in normal mode but have low heat and cooldown for continuous fire. In NT-D mode they change to regular instant stun cannons with high power. They have low ridigity which makes it easy to enter into melee from a stun.
Its third sub weapon is a lock on Armed Armor DE attack with 1000x2x3 (1000x2x4) power, 1 ammo, 300m (350m) range, 13 (10) seconds reload and 35%x2x3 (35%x2x4) stagger value. These lock on like funnels and send out high ballistic power shields with good stagger value to attack the enemy. They can be locked on while boosting as well. This is your huge damage nuking source and easily deletes raids, you can break their MA in combination with vulcans.
In NT-D mode it gains access to a barrier version of Armed Armor DE with 100% heat and 25 seconds overheat. This weapon deploys a 2250 HP shield around you that blocks all stuns, including melee, until it is destroyed or 10 seconds have passed. This allows you to easily gain the advantage in close range fights to stun them from behind your barrier.
In NT-D mode it also gains access to a tonfa melee weapon with 3500 power, 2 seconds cooldown, 0.33 seconds swap and 150% downswing modifier. This has insanely high power and is also easy to hit with a long range thrusting downswing.
The Phenex has 21000 HP, 30 ballistic resist, 32 beam resist and 16 melee resist. It has high ranged defences but its melee resist is rather low. This isn't an issue though since it has the slots to easily build 46 melee defence. You have Maneuver Armor in both modes but activating NT-D upgrades your Leg Buffer and Psycommu Weapon Buffer by one level, where they are LV1 and LV4 in normal mode respectively.
You also have 130 (135) walk speed, 220 (230) boost speed, 75 thrust and 69 (84) turning speed. Your mobility is a little below average in normal mode but NT-D mode makes you incredibly nimble. You have LV2 Forced Injector, Flight Control and Emergency Evasion in normal mode but NT-D increases these by one level each.
Its stand out skill is the NT-D Ability Boost which adds +25 ranged modifier, takes away -25 melee modifier and upgrades the suits stats, skills and weapons. This works much the same way as the other two Unicorns in that it slowly drains your HP while active. You can activate Awaken after a set amount of time in NT-D to restore 3000 of your own and allies HP, reduces damage taken by 15% and reduces shooting modifier by -55 and melee modifier by -5. This stops the HP drain of NT-D and buffs your defences but comes at the cost of shooting damage. This makes your ranged damage less insane, so focus more on melee once this turns on.
Overall I think that the Phenex is truly a ridiculous suit. It has all the benefits of the top 700 costers with none of the weaknesses, and then some extra on top. It gives even the pre-nerf Unicorn a run for its money if it was theoretically played optimally. I hope that it gets a nerf to multiple aspects of its loadout, just to make it more fair. Thanks for watching!

700 is a hellscape and no one can convince me otherwise 😂
It feels far healthier than it was around the time the Unicorn and Banshee came out. Though it's still a really mixed bag of hard to obtain suits that have pushed really hard to one-up each other instead of just getting their own identities. Recent buffs and nerfs have left a lot of 650 suits and the original 700 suits much more usable, but the level of aggression with MA and other abilities on generals and raids has left a big hole where only two native 700 cost supports even exist to push back, and it took a long time to make the Dag Doll usable.
I'm really surprised they haven't dropped the Rozen Zulu yet, as it is literally built to foil so many of the problem suits,while being a perfect example of a support that should be fast and melee-capable.
Though maybe BB could just throw balancers on stuff like the Quess Jagd Doga. At least at level 2.
@@scottwrathfon9872That is a fair assessment, 700 has gotten alot better as of late. I found it wasn't bad when just the unicorn was introduced. The Sinanju was a problem child at first but it was manageable with a decent support. Same with the Kshatriya, close the distance and it melts. The Banshee, is when it started. Then the Phenex came out and started dominating 700. For a while every match had 2-3 of them and it made 700 unenjoyable.
Pretty much everything past 500 becomes all out chaos
@@Mod_121even 600?
Ah yet another MS that houses the soul of a young female Newtype, which was totally not the cause of less than stellar methods used by scientists in their faction issued by the top brass.
"Phenex (NT) is a gen ms."
Ok, ok, expected it to be a raid or support. But this will take me a while to accept.
"She has a skill that increases MA, boost speed and gives her collision damage in NT-D mode."
Ok, ok, sounds interesting.
"Has 2 melee weapons in NT-D mode."
Ok, first off, we only saw him using them with his beam tonfas. Plus, in gbo2, he's supposed to be a ranged gen. Now she sounds like a raid in a gen body. Gbo2, what were you guys thinking?
"Also, activating awakening mode gives her allies hp."
WTF. THAT SOUNDS SO SUPPORT. WHY GIVE IT TO HIM. NOW HE'S A JACK OF ALL TRADES. YOU'LL FUCK THE WHOLE 700 COST ROOMS WITH THIS DEMON.
*rolls for her anyways for personal matters*
When people say that the type triangle doesn’t matter in GBO2, they’re generally referring to units like this.
I'm more terrified of facing the phenexes than dealing with any raid I come across
May i intrudiuc u to my Banshee
Man, with my first unit in 700 being Stein, I feel the powercreep from these two units. I'm actually scared the addition of other 2 unicorns (FA unicorn and Banshee Norn) as the unicorns always come out strong.
That and the fact that I can't pull a 700 to save my life, lol.
@@enderwinner5473 both fa and norm would definitely be shooty freakshows. Plus, FA is technically no a fa ms, all it has is just a bunch of weapons strapped on it and 2 huge boosters meant to bypass the frontline, so there'll be a chance of it being a space raid, heck, it might have a purge ability like the stein do.....but fuckin worse(for the enemy).
Despite norm being suitable as a speedy, shooty gen, there's a chance that it'll be a support too. There has been ms that are supposed to be fast(like hamma²) but isn't really fast due to support tax.
Forget players acting like they're the game's protagonist, anytime I see an S- sortie in this it feels more like fighting the final boss. Your offense, defense, and speed are all outclassed. It's a constant barrage at just about any range. Even if you do catch it in an unfavorable spot, preventing it from escaping is just as difficult. I'm terrified to see whatever the next stage of power creep looks like after this monster
It has been modified numerous times. Indubitably.
Indubitably 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Nutty dodge rolls. The phenix is crazy! Wish there was suits from other gundam series other than just UC
Maybe in GBO3 lol
@@avenger1_gbo260 in gbo2: next we trust
Oh yeah now that you said about it i hope that this game someday or even GBO3 Bandai would released the Double OO Raiser that is my dream Gundam and it would turn out to be quite as strong as the suits from UC
That second game I was the Todestrider in I thought my ZZ just ran in. Now I see they were pretty much dead before trying
GG! Yeah that guy ran in a lot without his team unfortunately.
What is that 3 star custom part in the bottom right at the beginning of the video?
I know it will always depend on the opponent, more than the MS, but I've been able to deal with them using the Delta Plus, yeah, a raid, by just being fast as F^$# and not letting them target me with their flying wings, using cover and other things.
The Kshatriya also helped me with them, although...it is obnoxious to have my funnels disabled.
I find this suit being on the extreme on the spectrum.
As easy as it can be to use, it can be easy to counter or a nightmare.
Personally, I find way more problems dealing with thr Banshee's heavy or even a Gallus in lower levels.
Just got mine this week first 4 star suit. Gonna paint it like Epyon, im so original
can you explain a little bit the timing for using the shield? Im playing this MS quite often but seldom use it.
I don't know when should I be using it
Use it before fighting somebody in close combat. It will block at least one stun from them which gives you plenty time to fire back with your own and downswing them.
all the grinding i did to get to A rank, just for them to add S, a couple of weeks later 😢😂
Don't let this video take away from the fact that this man got hit by an E.ZZ Heavy Attack.
Jokes aside....man fuck this suit. Here's hoping it gets some much needed adjustments this month. It AND Stein certainly need them.
Only thing more shameful than getting hit by EZZ heavy is using EZZ Heavy lmao
Shining Finger Sword too op smh
@@avenger1_gbo260 nah GBO2 full of heavy simps, there is a perfect opportunity to use heavy... just not at the cost of your team
This unit is power creep incarnate.
I don't ever use Phenex for melee unless I really have to. I'm surprised you think it possesses the best downswing in the game. I always thought the unicorn's downswings in destroy mode were the best, personally. Guess I've been missing out
It's basically like a Stamen downswing combined with a Dra-C downswing on crack. It comes out really fast and the tonfa swap time is lightning quick. Can't really beat 2 seconds cooldown for such high damage either on a 3500 power saber.
If you get used to it you can basically snipe people from miles away with it. Same modifiers as the Unicorn Gundam but the tonfa animation is viable enough to start and end combos with, actually making the damage higher if both are in their Awaken states.
@Avenger1_ GBO2 it kind of reminds of the downswing on the three bladed beam saber the quebeley mk2 has, now that I think about it.
What a cutie with twintail- I mean twin shield(shields have tail too so lol)
God I want this suit so badly but I'd have to draw like mad amounts or wait for a boost. :^*
Honestly, I would consider Phenex on its own to be incredibly op (albeit like you mention, hard to use), but in a sense, it did already get indirectly nerfed on the same day it got released (beam magnum getting its AOE and leg damage reduced, awakening getting a damage loss, along with the earlier nerf to NT-D's duration and radius so funnel suits can actually exist). It is incredibly powerful, but at least it feels like a decent player can still outplay it or a bad phenex player will actually suffer for making bad judgments. If the nerfs never came though.... then yeah, 700 cost would just been flat-out unplayable to this very day.
Probably the worst thing admittedly is that it does feel like it invalidates Nu in alot of ways outside of the latter having more ballistic weaponry and having access to a shield right away rather than having to wait till you taken enough damage.
how to activate phenex shields?, or those activates without do things?
It's a specific weapon you have to use while transformed. You might need to set the key to use it in the menu before a match.
and then GBO2 starts to give PFD Unicorn
Man, it doesn’t make sense that the Awaken ability only lowers damage. Like where’s the payoff?? It should atleast raise defense
I dunno if I mentioned it in the description but it does raise defence. You take 15% less damage from all sources while it is active.
@@avenger1_gbo260oh, well that’s good to know, I feel like since it raises the defense it should be shown on the in-game arrow bars
I hate all three of the Unicorn but phenex I find the most annoying to deal with. Only because I’m usually pit in lobbies with full or close to full teams of unicorns vs my team comprised of lv4/lv3 suits just get rammed sacked.
no Bad meanining but... I do not want you against me in that MS
I can't ace this MS for the life of me because A) teams are getting very ridiculously dumb, nonexistent IQ nor know how to team play and B) People kept stealing my kills when i'm winning a 1v1, itd be a different story if I was getting hammered in a 3v1 but good god this MS is hard to ACE, I love it but people need to stop being braindead in rated matches.
People get worse at this game everyday
This thing is no cap the one thing holding 700 back from being varied. Every other RX-0s have things that can surpass and/or equalize them except this piece of shit suit. BB just need to tone this thing down and 700 is probably gonna be way less of a shitshow than it is now
Honestly yeah. 700 is so close to being perfect.
