Day 276: Gundam Mk-III
Requested by u/Painmuffin, and this one is D-Tier once again. But I would say it's very close to F-Tier now. While it can have decent damage output, it's just nowhere near enough. This is an early revisit of the suit, but it really needs a lot more than before to even be viable now.

Comment and Reason
This one needs an overhaul and, well, almost everything needs to be touched. It does, however, have decent enough mobility. But with how low the HP is, even the higher part slots availability isn't going to save it. 3K additional HP is the minimum it needs, then a little more thruster to help maneuver around the battlefield to help position itself better for the mid-range gameplay.

As for the weapon and skills, it's there to enhance the already... kind of decent mid-range gameplay style. While this is unlikely to overshadow broken generals like the Doga Sleeves Type, this one should have a strong position to become at least S-Tier with these changes. While I am aware these changes will overshadow the Lv2 Gaz-R at 550 cost, but this is its native cost.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Do not use

Lv1 Freemium: Ranged

Lv1 Premium: Ranged (Alternative) or Attack

Lv2-4: Do not use...

Honestly, it's so bad that playing in rated is just throwing. While it is possible to do decent, due to mid-range firepower, that's about it. It can't do anything and because it is on the taller end, it's hard to use well and have good coverage at times. The part slots are a little limited, but it can still have a few decent builds. But this suit definitely needs premium parts to make it even remotely playable.

Day 275 Re-evaluation on Zaku I (GS)

It really just needs to be more up to date, period. I think I covered mostly what it needs and could get for now.

Re-evaluations

• None for now
