GBO2 gameplay featuring the NTC on the colony drop site map. The NTC is a raid with high overall stats. It's Bulk is good for it's size and it has both a ranged combo and a melee combo, though it's ranged damage is mitigated by its typing. It's beam rifle and vulcans have above average range and power for their class, with the rifle having a blistering 5 second cooldown. It can be comboed into rifle shield cannon, shield missiles, to easily deal close to 50% or more of a supports HP from range. It's saber downswing has wide and far boosting range but has enough delay on it's startup latency will cause downswing follow ups to ranged stuns to mostly fall through. It's blow downswing has good readyup speed allowing for succesful stun into knockdowns, however it's range is extremally limited with NO momentum on the animation. With latency at play it makes scoring melee combos difficult. Though that is presumably their intent given the suits high ranged stun output. In NTD the suit gains some damage triggers psyco jamming and repairs legs. The real show stopper is in Awakening, which changes it's blow melee weapon into long reaching energy sweeps in a similar pattern to the hyaku shiki saber, giving it rapid knockdown confirms and high damage. It can also be charged like a heavy attack for a ranged heavy stun wave attack, though due to the startup is difficult to land with latency requiring quite hard reads on leading targets. Though it does penetrate enemies, potentially hitting multiple. It also gains Ranged damage resistance in awakening, whilst not healing like unicorns, the effective bulk should you be able to repair is considerable. That said it's a bit difficult to reach awakening right now, as passive gens try and counter the new raid but end up trying to fight supports. Which sadly happens in this match in spite of my best efforts. The suit also features a high hp shield with stance mastery effectively providing free 6k HP. The suit also features EE3, which combined with it's NTD and awakening triggers can give the suit surprisingly high amount of i frame opportunities.
