GBO2 Cannongan: The strongest support in GBO history!

This video contains two matches I had with the recently released LV1 Cannongan on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 650 cost support with outstanding mobility, LV2 Resist Move, incredible chain stagger ability, incredible stagger accumulation, incredible midrange DPS, great melee damage, great durability, stun resistance when using stop to fire weapons alongside access to a visor subweapon which spots enemies for you while also buffing your ranged damage. It has no real weakness, the only real one is that it is a support in the same cost as the Demeter. The devs have surprised me again, I thought that it would be impossible to make a viable support for 650 with Demeter still at full power, let alone a strong one, but they somehow were able to do it. In the first match, I was lucky enough to match up with my clanmate Sixth Pulsar, who also was playing Cannongan. We bullied the enemy Demeters hard, so hard in fact, that one of them ragequit halfway through the match. I think I focused too hard on the raids though, so I was only able to deal 129k damage in the first match. I hope that you enjoy watching!

Its primary weapon is a beam rifle with 1300x2 power, 10 ammo, 4 seconds cooldown, 10 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap time, 300m range and 13%x2 stagger value. This consumes two ammo per shot, but otherwise has amazing performance. It instant staggers and has short cooldown time, making it great to either start or continue combos with.
Its primary melee weapon is a combat knife with 2500 power, 2 seconds cooldown, 0.5 seconds swap time, 100% side swing modifier, 60% combo modifier and 100%x2 downswing modifier. This can deal absurd damage if you can land the downswing, but the animation can struggle to hit knocked over enemies. It is very practical to use since you have balancers, two melee swings and medium melee priority.
Its first sub weapon is a spray beam launcher with 350 power, 7% heat, 400 RPM, 12 seconds overheat, 0.5 seconds swap time, 400m range, 2000 DPS and 17% stagger value. These have very high DPS and can stagger in just 0.9 seconds, but they must stop to fire. This is actually a benefit though, since you have total immunity to ranged instant staggers when stopping to fire either of your beam cannon weapons. Combined with the rest of your kit and dodge roll, you can easily win 1v1s by abusing this, even against raids.
Its second sub weapon is a dual beam cannon with 1500x2 power, 70%, 2 seconds cooldown, 15 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap, 450m range, 0.8 seconds focus time and 40%x2 stagger value. This must charge before firing, similar to the beam magnum, but it has incredible performance to make up for this. It does incredible damage while also piercing and not consuming much heat.
Its third sub weapon is a head visor with 0 power, 100% heat, 15 seconds overheat, 0.5 seconds swap time and 400m range. When activated, this flips the units head visor down and continuously spots every enemy within 400m for 15 seconds, but only for yourself. This basically totally hard counters stealth suits, while also letting you easily avoid flanking raids. More than that though, you deal 15% extra range damage while this is activated.

The LV1 Cannongan has 23000 HP, 12 ballistic resist, 34 beam resist and 32 melee resist. This is really durable for a support, especially since it is basically the same size as a regular Jegan. It lacks ballistic resistance, but makes up for it with amazing HP reserves and good beam/melee resistance. It has two defensive skills, LV2 Resist Move and LV1 Immobile Fire System. LV2 Resist Move works like a regular dodge roll, except you take 50% less damage during the roll rather than 100%. Immobile Fire System grants you instant stagger immunity when firing stop to fire weapons, but not while focusing them.
It also has 135 walking speed, 210 boosting speed, 65 thrust and 75 turning speed. This suit is so fast that it feels like a mistake from the developers, it has equal mobility to that of the average 650 cost general, maybe more once you consider that it has 100% strafing speed in every direction. It also benefits from having LV2 Forced Injector and Flight Control.


In conclusion, I feel that this suit is disgustingly broken. It is quite literally a general in support's clothing, it completely lacks the weaknesses that a support is meant to have, apart from taking extra damage from raids. It can easily 1v1 any general and win, most raids will lose the 1v1 as well, only Demeter can reliably take this thing out 1v1. It might be acceptable if they aren't going to nerf Demeter, since right now this is the only viable 650 support, but if they do nerf Demeter, they need to nerf this thing at the same time, or else the balance of 650 cost would be totally destroyed beyond all repair. Thanks for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed it!
