Balance be damned, the Phenex is even more gorgeous than I expected. I also appreciate its skills being tied to the Armed Armor DE units, making their use in the damage rotation something that deserves consideration. I hope we see similar tradeoffs in the future. I'd love to see an MS with an attack that results in losing the weapon, like an overloading a beam saber for a heavy attack or a beam launcher's barrel being warped beyond use by heat.

[@kingkino2116]

Silver Bullet cant melee while using its beam saber incom as well. Little details like that add character to suits and its a big part of why I like this game- every suit is unique in one way or another

[@Darth1Marik]

@@kingkino2116 Because INCOMs are not Psycommu. They operate by the OS of the mobile suit and thus are not subject to Psycommu Jack.

[@Heroduothecomedian]

I started 2023 at 12:01 pm with a single drop and pulled the phenex NT

[@kantusprime1119]

The healing ability is really nice. Usually have 1-2 Phenexs on my 700 teams and they usually activate it in a pinch. I think it also fixes ally parts too but I might be wrong

[@swerve2946]

Yes it does fully repair ally parts

[@NurseGundam]

It fully repairs allied parts and cleanses debuffs like Psycho Jack, Fire, Camera Spots etc

[@prouf631]

on a side note when sending out the shields out make sure the dont hit anything like mountains on the way or they will imidiatly return to you

[@Darth1Marik]

I didnt use them much here I wasnt used to the suit yet. I havent had them run into anything but I'll keep that in mind now that you told me

[@YiminyCricket]

ok, but should they add the Type RC Phenex to the game later? you know? the G-Phenex?

[@borgar1765]

pretty sure Okawara designed Epyon, Katoki only did the redesigns for Endless Waltz and later works

[@kantusprime1119]

If you’re after a gold plated kit just hunt the RG Phenex. It’s undergated

[@Gunpla-Slinger]

That Gabthley got fly swatted.

[@Darth1Marik]

ya poor brave soul using a Gabthley at 700

[@typesaad]

All we need is the banshee norn and we’ll have all of the unicorn versions

[@andrewcdno6532]

Also the Full armor Unicorn Gundam (that should have been uploaded on Christmas [A mobile suit that comes equipped with a lot of ... presents for all the good boys and girls on the enemy team]) and the Unicorn perfect-ability.

[@typesaad]

@@andrewcdno6532 the full armor maybe to big but we had the baund doc and the messala

[@luckyrose2648]

There also be Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Plan B as well though don't know how that be handled

[@awildbluedestinyunit1appea333]

Happy New Years pilots!

[@bigbadvicHo]

Unicorn gets a buff in melee damage in it’s awakening mode, what does this get a buff in?

[@zeroshinkai957]

Oh great it's the Phenex...Um I mean He-Hey Rob.👋

[@darklordnecro]

I also didn't know the phenex heals teammates. That's good news. Edit: auto correct screwed over.

[@Darth1Marik]

yea they were not clear in the in game skill description but the preview from BB Studio in English stated that it does.

[@soulx511]

I don’t understand why the phenx isn’t a suppot unit… I guess making a support would make it unusable…

[@Darth1Marik]

it honestly was a safe bet from BB Studio, the two 4 star supports that do exist had the lowest $$$ drop from what I heard, I have no way of confirming that information so take it with a grain of salt. Generals and raids used more than support units.

[@zora_tech]

I kinda want to get this suit as well but I don't want to spend anymore money that I cant afford to spend on it. I will be able to do one more role before its gone so hopefully I will get it. The only other suit I really want is the Sinaju Stein

[@ravencross7779]

Anyone know why they ended gundam mark 3 and 5 but not the mark 4

[@borgar1765]

because Mk-III is from Z-MSV and Mk-V is from Sentinel, whereas Mk-IV was created for and only appeared in G Generation games so far. It's an order of magnitude more obscure and less known.

[@ravencross7779]

@borgar ahhh okay that makes sense! Thanks for the info! It would be cool of they did really like the design kind of reminds me of a slider gpo2 gundam

[@SwiftWind]

@@borgar1765 I'd say there's more than a decent chance the Mk-IV appears at some point, even the Pale Rider DII was only ever mentioned once in a technical manual that was part of an insert in a monthly magazine, the suit has zero appearances or other mentions outside of GBO2. Though I would count on never seeing something like the Aqua Jegan.

[@borgar1765]

@@SwiftWind I would love to see it too, though I don't think the odds are too good. Though I don't think it's impossible, similarly obscure suits have been added before after all. Especially if they don't go into late UC sooner or later the Mk-IV's time may come.

[@aaronsalvador9133]

I didn't really get this suit because I could only afford the discount in supply drops but atleast I got the schuzrum galluss and btw the phenex looks nice😀

[@Darth1Marik]

Schuz Gallus is a broken suit get ready for easy matches in it. Everytime I sortie in it I dont even try and I just rofl stomp everything I come across

[@aaronsalvador9133]

@@Darth1Marik yeah it's a broken suit when it comes to melee and by the way what other suits would you want to be added in the game tho? For me it would be the Rozen zulu and Unicorn perfectibility

[@Darth1Marik]

@@aaronsalvador9133 I've been wanting the Rozen Zulu for a while now ever since they added the Angelo Zulu. I've been waiting forever for the Dolmel but it seems like that'll never happen.

[@gelgoorx]

Will they do a narrative version?

[@DemolitionHound]

This is the Narrative version as the original did not have the tail stabilizers on the armed armors.

[@gelgoorx]

@@DemolitionHound that too bad I was hoping for a ra ged attack when the dx Shields

[@DemolitionHound]

@@gelgoorx I'm not entirely sure what you mean there. It can use the armed armors as beam cannons, but they also work like the Moon Gundam's psycho plates where they can be launched as a ranged attack or used as shields when in destroy mode.

[@gamester512]

Considering the fact that I already have the original Unicorn, as well as the Kshatriya & Sinanju, I'm not too sure if I'll even bother trying to get the Phenex too much, since the original Unicorn is still just fine as far as a 700-cost General goes. Particularly since I have plenty of other 650-700 cost MS to choose from if I feel like using something other than the Unicorn, Sinanju, or Kshatriya....such as my Delta Plus, the Support & General Xekueins variants, FA Hyaku Shiki Kai, FA Gundam 7th, FA Gundam Mk III, Gundam Mk III, Gundam Mk II, Zeta Gundam, the Zeta Plus A1 & C1, the Gabthley, etc. So I have plenty of options to choose from at this cost range. Only 700 cost MS that I really wish I had right now would be the Banshee, but I can make do just fine without it as I still really like using the Delta Plus if I ever feel like running a Raid (I've even beaten an Ex-S on my own in the thing in a purely ranged fight with the Delta Plus too). I actually have most of the 4-star MS in the game, with the only ones I currently *don't* have being the Nu Gundam, Banshee, Sinanju Stein, & Phenex. I own every other 4-star MS in the game (I actually have both the Lv1 & Lv 2 Byarlant Custom as well). But I've also got some new lower cost MS to try out as well, like the High Boost GM, since I'm only just coming back to GBO2 after taking a break once the Banshee banner ended.

[@rinlamb3988]

Happy new year to all.

[@axlejones6281]

kinda glad i didnt save for this now, it looks interesting to play and i can definitely see people getting good with it but as i expected the thing seems to be very fragile to melee, its kinda like a 4 star Ex-S, fun to use and can do a lotta damage at range but once its caught by a melee suit it doesnt last long though Phenex does at least have 2 melee weapons in NT-D and that boost ram to give it a chance

[@Darth1Marik]

yes its melee def stat is the lowest, an NT-D Unicorn or a Banshee will eat it alive if they catch it in melee. It has enough slots to compensate for it though. If you're a savvy ranged player you can keep the Phenex away and put down the Unicorn and Banshee.

[@oddballmotors9446]

Hate the fact that i save up for months to try and get the Phenex and yet nope thanks Gatcha system.

[@Darth1Marik]

I take it you didn't save 195 for the guaranteed drop?

[@baconflaps]

>best suit in the game "its pretty decent"

[@Darth1Marik]

to be fair I did not have the best showing of what it can really pull off here. I'm also not the greatest player of this game, I tend to send videos only to help out robs channel. If you want to see what the Phenex can really do there are other channels I can recommend

[@baconflaps]

@@Darth1Marik oh not a slight on you at all! more just laughing at the underselling what is clear creep lol its better/more responsible of him than going "WELL FOLKS looks like its another winner, get out those wallets." thats for sure :)
