This video contains two matches I had with the LV2 and LV4 Blue Destiny Unit 1 on Gundam Battle Operation 2. The BD1 is a 350-500 cost raid with a touchpad special ability that drastically raises mobility and damage for 60 seconds, access to LV2 Power Accelerator alongside having better midrange poke ability than most raids. Its main weaknesses would be having effectively trash thrust usage before EXAM mode is activated, having a mediocre primary weapon, no dodge roll before EXAM is activated alongside not being that durable. I don't see many people using this suit and I kinda get why, it is hard to find the right time to use EXAM, it also inherently struggles because it is a low cost raid, but I think that it is one of the better raid choices for low cost if you can master it. I hope that you enjoy watching!
Its primary ranged weapon is a beam rifle with 1260 (1732) power, 2 seconds cooldown, 50% (90%) heat, 13 seconds overheat, 0.77 seconds swap time, 405m (505m) range, 4 seconds focus time and 8% (30%) stagger value. This weapon can deal okay damage from midrange with uncharged shots, but it has awful stagger accumulation and needs to charge to instant stagger. You can combo it into your wired missiles for a two stun combo.
Its primary melee weapon is a beam saber with 1785 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.77 seconds swap time and 70%/49% combo modifier. This has low power for a low cost raid, it won't deal great amounts of damage unless you are in EXAM mode.
Its first sub weapon is a chest machine gun with 58x2 power, 30 ammo, 400 RPM, 12 seconds reload, 0.77 seconds swap time, 200m range, 774 DPS and 4%x2 stagger value. This technically can stagger quickly but it needs to hit 13 shots out of the 15 ammo you have to stun. It is fine to finish off enemies with or as a stun if you have no other options.
Its second sub weapon is a chest missile launcher with 900x2 power, 2 ammo, 12 seconds reload, 0.77 seconds swap time, 275m range and 40%x2 stagger value. This fires two reticle guided missiles that instant stagger, they stop to fire but the recovery time is still short enough to combo into melee afterwards.
The LV2 Blue Destiny Unit 1 has 14000 HP, 13 ballistic resist, 17 beam resist and 25 melee resist. This isn't awful durability but you are still a little bit squishy compared to other raids, one mistake will probably end up with you getting killed in one combo by a melee general. It lacks Emergency Evasion but gets LV2 Maneuver Armor.
It also has 130 (133 including ground affinity) walk speed, 210 boost speed, 45 thrust and 54 (60 including affinity) turning speed. It has amazing boosting speed for a 400 cost raid, which can be boosted even further by EXAM, but only 45 thrust means you need to invest quite a lot into the proper custom parts to avoid running out of thrust. It strafes at 100% speed left and right, but be aware that it walks backwards at only 50% speed.
Its most important skill is the LV1 EXAM System. This is activated via the touchpad and grants +25 ranged modifier, +30 melee modifier, +3 to all resists, +10 walk speed, +10 boost speed, -50% thrust consumption, +40 turning speed and LV2 Emergency Evasion for 60 seconds. Once the timer runs out the head and legs of the MS will break, and EXAM cannot be reactivated until the next time the MS spawns. This skill is the key to using the BD1 effectively, as it makes you ridiculously fast and gives you great damage output. Activating it at the right time is difficult since EXAM only lasts for 60 seconds, but you can go on an absolute rampage with good timing.
Furthermore, it has LV2 Power Accelerator which allows it to near instantly boost away after getting into a melee clash.
In conclusion, I feel that while the BD1 lacks the same explosive melee power that other touchpad mode raids get, it makes up for it by having a pretty well rounded loadout that can be used to shoot the support to death from midrange if need be. Not to say that BD1 is bad at melee, but it won't be able to one combo bulkier supports without softening them up a bit with shooting first. You can be pretty flexible with this suit, you aren't forced to try and make your way past generals to melee the support, so I think it has a distinct advantage over most 350-400 cost raids that can only deal decent damage closer up. Thanks for watching!
