I tried the Zaku HiMo 2 for the first time yesterday, my main complaint was that the simplified RL's reload time left me unable to attack for a long while. Just learned that the grenades are actually meant to be used as weapons. Awesome video, as always.

The 4 barrel rocket launcher reminds of commando with Arnold

[@malcolmseabrook8770]

Probably my favorite suit in the game after the zaku flipper. I run the level 3 with full ranged damage, as a second line or hit-and-run suit. Great for denying corridors, especially if you can land the grenades. I'm almost always top diversion lol

[@jumby_thicc6848]

Recently started using this at 450, and man what a boon has it been. Really injected some fun into my play, making me feel like zeon ace.

[@Ssalamanderr]

If this thing had a machine gun sub-weapon I would love it, but it feels really limited without one.

[@illprox9679]

There is a High Mobility one with a machine gun sub. The non late model.

[@anotherbig976]

The buffs definitely did it favors. I think it's my favorite suit for zipping to and from different fights on the map

[@johnydope2005]

When it was buffed? Recently?

[@DuskFae]

Red rider really do only know how to heavy attack and die apparently.

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

best riders dont heavy they juggle you to death and flank and hunt people out alone and they absolutely do work sadly these are rare

[@R-Jacky6698]

clearly you didn't met a red rider who really 1 vs 5

[@NwaaNwaa]

4:46 that moment when you try to intimate your opponent before the fight starts in school.

[@NwaaNwaa]

But seriously how did he miss all those punches lol.

[@AjaxJP]

Man they went so hard with the Ace Combat 2 soundtrack

[@maryus786]

watching red riders get bullied feel so good. good video as always

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

i love the other late mode unit the one w the zaku rifle as a sub wep and monster ranged dmg thing is a sleeper run and gun beast of a unit used right

[@Vross_MKII]

that red rider is a monster, Jesus

[@xStarborn]

Zaku II ❤️

[@RezaQin]

Damn, what a cool MS!

[@fadedmogli5179]

Out of curiosity, does building into defence reduce more damage then building hp would offset? And does focusing into whichever one is the better build of those two end up being better then building a balance of the two?

[@avenger1_gbo260]

It depends on HP. Resistance is a percentage based reduction, so 20 melee resist equals 20% less melee damage taken. This means that HP can either be more or less valuable than resists. When a suit has something like 17000-18000 HP then you kinda need to slap on those resistances. But often you will have the chance to build both, often with melee resist+HP at lower costs.

[@fadedmogli5179]

@avenger1_gbo260 appreciate that. That's good to know cause i didn't actually know the values of the resistances

[@matthewwong221]

what could you do to with custom parts to circumvent those problems?

[@avenger1_gbo260]

You could add more HP, melee armour and melee damage. But this really won't fix its issues. And by taking melee modifier and HP you are sacrificing leg armour, so you are kinda screwed if fighting Sniper II WD or any other good leg breaker. So I think it is best to lean into the strengths of the suit with reloaders, range modifier and leg armour.

[@r1l426]

Do you think running it with the zaku bazooka makes it a viable/decent bluezook at 400?

[@avenger1_gbo260]

I think it is weak if not using the simplified missile launcher. If you take a regular bazooka then you have no way to break raids or generals MA and are still doing really bad melee damage. 12500 HP and 8 melee resist means that something like GM Dominance might even be able to kill you in one combo, which is kinda likely to happen if you put yourself in danger with frontlining positioning. There are far better melee generals at 400 cost really.

[@fadedmogli5179]

Also, can you do a video on Gm dominance?

[@avenger1_gbo260]

I definitely will in the future

[@GutsOfRivia]

Is this thing faster than the Alma High Mobility Zaku?

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Way faster. This thing has 230 boosting speed but Alma Zaku has 190. It also gets Forced Injector.

[@dabradmp1]

Sooo basically how to win at this game is only use a rocket and melee and that's about it. I never see you using machine gun

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Cause most machine guns are really weak and poorly balanced by the developers. It is a trial in patience to use them. Like the alternate primary machine gun for this Zaku fires about 5 shots a second, needs 25 hits to stun, has a high degree of bullet spread and poor DPS (only about 700 I believe?). So by using a weapon like that over the 4 shot missile launcher you basically lose any stunning ability to help your team with and don't even get good DPS in return. Can't even stop raids. They would need a pretty massive buff to be worth using outside of suits which have good stunning sub weapons already.

[@dabradmp1]

@@avenger1_gbo260 I guess that's why I'm so bad. I only use MS with machine guns because I can't aim for shit. I simply can't use beam because I keep missing.

[@Tyrannorapto1613]

estimate where your target will go to, round up the numbers
