GBO2 Gundam GP04 (Post-Buff): They gave it a gerobi sub-weapon!

This video contains three matches I had with the recently buffed LV1 and LV4 Gundam GP04 on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 550-700 cost support with overall excellent midrange DPS, access to a gerobi sub-weapon that can instant stagger, great strafing speed, great stagger accumulation alongside pretty good melee ability for a support. It suffers from below average durability, but is otherwise quite well rounded. This suit was recently buffed with 17000/19000/21000/23000 HP depending on suit level, LV2 Back Buffer at 550 cost, LV3 Back Buffer at 650 cost, 2100/2300/2700/2950 long beam rifle power depending on suit level, 12 seconds long beam rifle overheat time, 6 ammo for the sub weapon beam rifle alongside the addition of a new gerobi style sub weapon. Before the video starts, I would like to say that unfortunately, two of the matches in this video ended up being a loss. They were good games where I did high damage though, so I still decided to upload them. I hope that you enjoy watching!

Its primary weapon at LV1 is a long beam rifle with 2100 power, 3.5 seconds cooldown, 75% heat, 12 seconds overheat, 1 second swap time, 700m range and 65% stagger value. This has just average power, but it also benefits from long range, high stagger value and good heat efficiency. It combos quite well into or from your other weapons as a stagger build-up assistance tool or as a way to continue a stagger chain.
Its primary melee weapon is a beam saber with 2200 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.77 seconds swap time and standard modifiers. This doesn't have any special downswing or combo modifiers, but it shares its melee moveset with the Gerbera Tetra, making it easy to use. It can deal good damage to generals thanks to type advantage.
Its first sub weapon is a beam rifle with 700 power, 0.5 seconds cooldown, 6 ammo, 8 seconds reload time, 0.5 seconds swap time, 400m range and 35% stagger value. This doesn't have incredible damage or anything, but it can quickly stagger enemies if you are accurate, and it can still put the hurt on generals. It reloads very quickly too.
Its second sub weapon is a gerobi mode long beam rifle with 500x6 power, 100% heat, 15 seconds overheat, 1 second swap time, 450m range and 35%x6 stagger value. This must stop to fire, and it overheats in one shot, but it makes up for it with incredible damage, incredible stagger power and the ability to pierce through enemies. It has both high stagger accumulation and the ability to instant stagger.

The LV1 GP04 has 17000 HP, 24 beam/ballistic resist and 12 melee resist. It has pretty mediocre durability, even generals could damage you severely if you get caught out of position. It has pretty good mobility to make up for it though. It has a 15% damage reduction back binder buffer for a defensive skill.
In terms of mobility it has 130 walking speed, 190 boosting speed, 75 thrust and 57 turning speed. It has somewhat sluggish turning speed, but it is otherwise rather speedy for a support. On top of having LV1 Forced Injectors, it has 95% strafing speed to the sides and 90% walking backwards, giving it handling somewhat similar to the Gundam Mk-II or Alex.

In conclusion, I think that the GP04 has become rather strong after these buffs. The existing kit got some small but still appreciated buffs, though the real star of the show is the new sub weapon. Having this gerobi makes the GP04 so much more flexible, and it is a big buff to its burst damage abilities. Being able to combo long rifle into the gerobi is amazing, and it finally gives this suit the punch that it deserves. It even seems strong at 650 and 700 cost because of how well the damage scales up, especially if you have the requisite overtuning custom parts. I can definitely recommend this suit now. After all this time, I can finally call it good. Thanks for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed it!
