GBO2 Gundam GP00 Blossom: The king of DPS!

This video contains two recent matches I had with the LV1 Gundam GP00 on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 500 cost support with a loadout similar to a generals, a high damage piercing charge beam, long range high DPS vulcans, a blazingly fast downswing along with an MPIWS system that temporarily boosts ranged damage by 20% and increases weapon range by 100m. Its two major weaknesses would be poor stun accumulation and the team losing Observational Data Link while the MPIWS is cooling down. This suit feels like it has a lot of potential if used correctly. Unfortunately I recorded these matches when I was having major controller drift issues in both analog sticks and while I was quite tired, so they aren't my best. I still think I managed to showcase the suits strengths though, so I hope you enjoy watching!

The primary weapon of the GP00 is a beam rifle with 1900 power, 4 seconds cooldown, 80% heat, 15 seconds overheat, 1 second swap time, 500m range and 20% stagger value. This has just average damage before activating the MPIWS but it does not need to stop to fire and instantly staggers. You can use this to easily confirm your melee or to combo into your midrange DPS options.
Its primary melee weapon is a pair of beam sabers with 2100 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.77 seconds swap time, 60% side swing modifier and 75%x2 downswing modifier. The damage seems average at first but type advantage means that this hits generals quite hard. The downswing is incredibly fast which makes confirming it easy, it is about the same speed as GP01 or Hyaku Shiki.
Its first sub weapon is a vulcan gun with 100 power, 60 ammo, 600 RPM, 11 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap time, 150m range, 1000 DPS and 2% stagger value. This is practically impossible to stun with and the initial range is low, but the DPS is very very high for vulcans. Once MPIWS activates this gains 250m range, tied for the longest range of any vulcan. This can melt generals regardless of if MPIWS is turned on or not.
Its second sub weapon is a shoulder beam gun with 125x2 power, 15% heat, 300 RPM, 18 seconds overheat, 0.5 seconds swap, 300m range, 1250 DPS and 5%x2 stagger value. The stagger value here is still pretty bad and the sustained DPS isn't great, but the range makes it your best option to use if out of range of vulcans.
Its third sub weapon is a continuously firing beam rifle with 700x5 power, 100% heat, 30 seconds overheat, 1 second swap time, 500m range, 4 seconds focus time and 50%x5 stagger value. This has high stagger value, damage and range while also having piercing. Though it needs to charge before firing and overheats for a long time after using it. It doesn't instantly stagger so using this is tricky, but the damage potential is amazing.
Its fourth sub weapon is the MPIWS system with 100% heat, 35 seconds overheat, 0.77 seconds swap, 450m range and 30 seconds spotting time. This spots every enemy around you in a 450m radius while also increasing ranged damage by 20% and weapon range by 100m for 30 seconds. This raises your damage to pretty ridiculous levels but comes at the cost of disabling your radar, ASL and Observational Data Link after usage, until it finishes overheating that is.

The GP00 has 15000 HP, 18 ballistic resist, 20 beam resist and 16 melee resist. This isn't the greatest amount of bulk but it isn't awful either. It has a 15% reduction back option buffer and waist buffer which helps a little bit with survivability.
It has 125 walk speed, 180 boosting speed, 70 thrust and 57 turning speed. This is pretty good mobility for a support, made even better by having access to LV1 Forced Injectors. Keeping up with the team is easy and you can even fight generals in melee range if given the chance.
The suit has balancers which means that unlike most supports, it can combo into melee after a stun without being at really close range.

Overall I feel like the GP00 is actually quite a strong suit given the right situation. During MPIWS activation it has some of the highest DPS of any 500 cost support, but its range is short and damage is just average while it isn't turned on. If used at the right time you can quickly melt generals at any range, it can even do high damage with melee if it overheats its beam rifle after a knockdown. The stun accumulation is seriously lacking outside of the continuous beam though, so self defence in terms of stopping Maneuver Armor is tough. Though I still think the self defence is better than most supports due to the suit having balancers and a ridiculous downswing. I think I can recommend the GP00 to support players who like to play close to the frontline due to its short range DPS abilities and great melee ability, though I will acknowledge that the suit is a little difficult to use and time is needed to learn it properly. Thanks for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed it!
