Unit Review: Wing Gundam






Type: Mid-range
(Before/After R)
Weapon 1: Beam Saber / Buster Rifle
Weapon 2: Machine Cannon / None
Weapon 3: Buster Rifle / None
Skill 1: Latent Potential
Skill 2: High-Performance OS
Special: Melee /  Beam




Weapon & Skill Review: 
Before R
  • Average beam saber
  • Like machine guns/cannons of other Gundam Wing series units, it's more powerful and have longer range than common vulcans. 
  • A powerful long-range beam weapon. This is one of the long beams that does not have knockdown skill so that you can Its reload type is magazine so it's best to shoot all three of its ammo to get it recharged quickly. Although it delivers massive damage, Wing Gundam becomes immobile while shooting so shoot it at safe distance.
After R
  • Unlike the one in Before R-mode, it only shoots once and has the knock-down ability. Usually used while Weapon 3 Buster rifle is being reloaded. Remember that Wing also becomes immobilized before shooting this mode's buster rifle.
Skills
  • Latent Potential increases Wing's damage when HP is below 50%.
  • High-performance OS increases the reload rate, movement speed and search distance. It's perfect for Wing to rapidly fire its buster rifle from long distance and quickly dodge around while shooting machine cannon.

Playing - Advantage:
  • Very strong to counter long-range units with buster rifle and capable of fighting in mid-range with machine cannon
  • Since all of its weapons' reload type is magazine, it allows the player to continuously fire between machine cannon and buster rifle.
  • Both skills boosts the attack power (especially good for BC pvp rooms)

Playing Disadvantage:
  • Immobility caused by the buster rifle is very troublesome. You may get focus-fired from enemies and may miss your moving target.
  • Although the machine cannon is a powerful ballistic weapon, Wing Gundam itself does not have strong defence stat. Since its skills are focused on boosting attack power, it may not survive long enough if it get targeted. I would recommend to use Wing Gundam to assist allies from the back.


Etc.
- Although it's the hardest unit to roll from the expensive B-rank capsule, it's used in various blueprints including Gundam Deathscythe Hell (EW). So even if you don't need Wing Gundam, it's good to keep it around in case you need it for a blueprint.


How to get it:
1. Capsule 27
