GBO2 Gundam MK-V: These buffs are insane!

This video is a rated match I had with the recently buffed LV1 Gundam MKV on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 650 cost raid with ridiculous mobility, high damage in both melee and shooting along with great stagger build up. Its major weakness is its combination of being big and sort of squishy, though the recent buffs have fixed that issue a little. I think that MKV already had a kit that could cook, so adding the shield booster just gave it that little extra boost it needed to finally be good. It can easily dash from place to place and engage in melee, or keep shooting as the situation demands. It feels very powerful now, so I hope that you enjoy watching!
The primary weapon of the MKV is a beam rifle with 2600 power, 4 ammo, 5.5 seconds cooldown, 15 seconds reload, 0.77 seconds swap, 400m range and 10% stagger value. This is pretty standard as far as beam rifles go but it has solid power and decent cooldown. You can combo this into your shooting weapons or go into melee.
Its primary melee weapon is a hyper beam saber with 2900 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.5 seconds swap time and 70% combo modifier. This has solid power but not the best at 650 cost, it makes up for this with its absolutely massive reach and fast swap time. It has the same moveset as Zeta Gundam so it is easy to use it to initiate melee or confirm from a downswing. Its length is so great that you can often neutral swing them from outside of tackle distance.
Its first sub weapon are INCOMs with 1100x2x2 power, 50%x2 heat, 2 seconds cooldown, 13 seconds overheat, 0.77 seconds swap, 300m range and 35%x2x2 stagger value. These are really powerful as far as INCOMs go considering their long range, high damage and good stagger value. These can often stagger on their own but you can use them in combination with your beam cannons for really easy staggers and high damage.
Its second sub weapon is a back beam cannon with 1700x2 power, 75% heat, 1.8 seconds cooldown, 17 seconds overheat, 0.77 seconds swap, 400m range and 35%x2 stagger value. These have high heat and insane damage but do not instant stagger. They have high stagger accumulation though and can be used with your INCOMs for easy staggers. You can also use them in-between downswings to get even more damage from combos.
It also has a 15000 HP shield booster. This lets you use the newly added Shield Booster skill to decrease thrust consumption and increase boosting speed. The shield itself is slim and has a lot of HP, so it is unlikely to break.
The MKV has 18000 HP, 22 ballistic and beam resist along with 34 melee resist. This isn't a lot of HP for 650 cost but the recent buff improved the leg buffer skill to 15% reduction and added more long range slots, so the durability isn't that bad with the right build. You have the very rare LV3 Maneuver Armor at 650 cost which gives you 143% stun resistance while boosting and decreases damage taken while boosting by 15%, along with also having LV1 Emergency Evasion.
It also has 135 hover speed, 230 boost speed, 65 thrust and 75 turning speed. The base amount of thrust is low and the boosting speed is high but not the best at cost. This changes dramatically though when you consider the Shield Booster skill. This increases HSM by 10 to 240, adds LV2 Flight Control and also decreases thrust consumption while your shield is unbroken. This is a ridiculously powerful skill since it increases the good mobility of MKV to insane levels, the amount of thrust reduction is unknown yet but it definitely feels substantial. You also have LV2 Forced Injectors as is standard.
It also has another very strong skill with LV2 Power Accelerator. This skill makes it so that you can boost out of the clash animation almost as soon as it happens, no matter what type of clash it is. This allows you to get the upper hand very easily on enemies you clash with and also to escape when you accidentally clash with an ally.
Overall I feel like the recent buffs to the Gundam MKV were very good. The shield booster changes how you play so much, it is much easier to be aggressive with melee when you use so little thrust. Being the fastest thing at cost also helps a lot when out-maneuvering enemies. Its balanced loadout for both ranged and close up makes it suitable for most maps as well, so it is not just limited to melee heavy maps like Arctic Base or City Ruins. 650 raids are very powerful so I am not sure if it is quite as strong as something like Char's Dijeh or Delta Plus, certainly not as strong as Baund Doc. But despite that it feels like you can do a lot with it now. Thank you for watching!

THE MK V IS REAL!

[@avenger1_gbo260]

SO REAL OOMFIE

[@holylight2428]

Alot of good buffs to suits today, god gpo1 and xekueins deserve them after suffering for so long

[@Overlord3455]

Builds one damage part and still does 200k damage and two combos a General to death. You are the Raid main that other Raid mains deny existing when they say Raid suits aren't incredibly powerful and all Support mains have to do is just play better, well that Support player was S- and he was still getting run over by the Raid so I guess I'll need to get to S+ to hopefully stand a chance of not getting run over. ...I'm now wondering what S+ Raid game play looks like, probably wouldn't even be mad as he nicely and cleanly kills me for the tenth time.

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Support mains better start looking under their beds for me at night 😈😈😈😈

[@nexus-sentinel252]

I hope someday they add the Gundam MK IV to the roster

[@mariosilic5130]

Same

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Would be cool but it is technically a G Generation exclusive suit. Would be cool if they added suits from that series.

[@joyoobility9176]

​@@avenger1_gbo260 they could in the future if there isn't any more UC units to add. But you can dream as there's a lot of ms

[@joyoobility9176]

​@@avenger1_gbo260 *laughs in sisquidde gundam*

[@thymeegraze3382]

Yes finally they will add mk 4

[@lulu7545]

We suffered for too long, now we the MkV fans, are vindicated.

[@DeadEye2613]

Mk-V supremacy!!!

[@mrblackbeard18]

My prayers have been answered. I used the mk v as my main 650 raid for a long time but as other raids started coming out I had a hard time with it

[@Jarchizzle84]

You were a complete menace bro sick skills MkV is here😮

[@ghostofthecommentsection]

That shield break at 3:40 that let you get in the combo was quite something.

[@AWholeLegionary]

Next suit to get on my bucket list. It just looks so cool.

[@Ssalamanderr]

lol at the INCOM targetting the tank over and over. Anyway this suit looks right up my alley, gonna check it out.

[@OmegaViper]

Geez its like you are a Boss fight

[@cookiecrumb1018]

Man i love this suit i used to get mvp back in the day glad to see it get a buff

[@EirikaAzares]

The only thing missing to make it a top tier raid is another instastun (look at you beam cannons) and maybe adding the missiles pods, tho it would already be enough with making the cannons instastun

[@Athanase48067]

when the shield booster boosts from the shield

[@avenger1_gbo260]

so true oomf

[@haroldvazquez]

I wanted this suit so much but cant purchase it yet and missed it when it was being sold in rt shop. I love it!

[@pablodebella7695]

I used him when he first came out and his attack power is scary, but as said, he was like a flan, I noticed more people using him recently had no idea he was buffed, does it really make a difference? I will try today

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Yeah the buff makes a huge difference, it has such insane mobility now.

[@dubborino979]

My only issue with this machine is the pbandai model and the GBO2 model look different so I don't ever think I'd pick up the model kit. It might be something with the proportions but the GBO2 Model looks really damn nice

[@mariosilic5130]

I love the MK 5 its one of my first Gundam's that I got in gbo2

[@Kiryu549]

Just got a match in w/ it in space with 225k damage, the buffs are definitely insane

[@ronaldrivaldo5160]

Finally, my main get a buff it deserves.

[@jastynasty9193]

This thing is crazy fast and lethal now.

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

first match today w it yeah it’s noticeable how much better movement is it always had the damage output and i wish it got weapons buffs too a bit for ammo and reload/overheat or its missile pods but a buffs a buff took whole teams top board spots and 1st/2nd in all but pursuit lol this has always been my fav raid glad we got a lvl 2 gunna pull for once month reset hits this coming week and the new support stats on 700 def look like they can hang w the big bois dmg wise

[@ensignd.crexote5350]

Honestly, it was decent. I got it for tickets a while back. Can’t wait to jump back in!!

[@buffimpreza07]

Lol same, I got it Lv.2 without me being corporal😅

[@JemKadetchy]

O o f what a monster!!

[@DarthBobby]

He must be a Newtype!

[@aimanfaruq2172]

Almost poetic seeing the MK V vs Ex-S

[@doktahexe9209]

That's an S rank player for you

[@lostdrifter7009]

But no missile pods or shield boosters

[@vangnex1825]

I always wanted to play the MKV but it was often too average. Time to retry it I suppose x)

[@xecksoffender942]

do you have the psycoframe package? it gives it an extra 1k2 hp, i combined this with the hp parts lv4 so that it could take a hit or two more, the rest i stacked into melee modifier from lv1-5 and a thruster lv3 one of the other build (outside of melee lv1-5) i used thruster lv4 and 3, with shield hp cause there isn't enough slot to put in any other thing i seem to find both of these really good as i could tank hits more or juke the enemy into missing for longer duration because of the shield booster skill and i seem to find it hard to pick just one, would love if you did one of the more glass-cannon-ey type of video and see for what it's worth in a rank match on the ground i still think the gundam mkv needs a health buff to 20k hp, the shield i don't think is an issue because of it's weird design that you can just shoot around it easily. And missile pods should be added with the ability to shoot while moving because the cannon requires you to stand still and shoot 2 time to get a stun. The missiles i think should require you to land half of your shot(6/12) to get a stun. I see a lot of potential by just adding it as it could give the gundam mkv an upperhand at pressuring the enemy outside of just melee

[@avenger1_gbo260]

I do have psychoframe package but I want to balance the amount of HP I have while still having enough beam and melee defence. I am surprised it didn't get missiles, but the shield booster is really cool as well.

[@somechinesedude5466]

No lv2 version 😭

[@R-Jacky6698]

Just curious, wtf happened to the gp01 buff? Why the hell i use Stark Jegan and somehow its a how new different environment in 550 cost which i lose 5 times continously?

[@avenger1_gbo260]

GP01 is king in close range now. It can stun you with GP02 tier vulcans, restagger with beam rifle then downswing.

[@R-Jacky6698]

@@avenger1_gbo260 no wonder why, two gp01 or above has enter the fight, that's why😔

[@willstaub6581]

MK V fans winning

[@Lias.Muner701]

Do you think MKV is ready for play？

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Definitely. It feels like a strong suit. Not as strong as Char's Dijeh or Baund Doc, but still good.

[@DavidRamirez-qz5nu]

Nah they need to give it its missles

[@xknightmare013]

OK Sir calm down. You’re a little too good at this game.😅 it stops being about how good the suit is and starts being about how good of a pilot you are
