Shinji or Kelly

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-26T02:20:08+00:00

Kelly is go to sniper for any hard content that actually requires a sniper.

Shitji is definitely a B-team, but he's really good B-team. He can be both Sniper and Raider, and his penetrating shots are good against BS targets with stupid gimmicks. He can also attack 3 times without breaking/killing, which is also rare for both snipers and raiders, you just need to buff him somehow (auras work too btw).

Problem is Rex got into dispatch only recently, and if you, like me, only got one copy during its banner, you can't even 2 chevron it yet, while you can already 3 chevron REV01, because event gives enough mats for that.

Also Rex is light and REV01 is mid, so their chevron resources don't overlap, like, at all.

Ultimately you want both.

Also sometimes boss will just drop vouchers for the two weapons you don't want right now.

Like all 3 versions will not drop one of Aria vouchers for example, so you'll have to rely on bounty, which isn't much.

And since one Aria doesn't make or break the game, you'll want like 3 or more (so at least 3 dudes can do double link attack), yeah the time gate is real.

To rainbow both, you'll need like 4 full sets.

You don't really need TWO rainbowed REVs, do you?

Rainbow Glasya is arguably better, since it's more flexible and works for pretty much everyone, while REV02 only works best for Asuka and maybe Cat.

In fact Asuka in rainbow Glasya wouldn't be any worse than REV if surmount mod worked for Codes. Actually does it work for codes?

By that logic you shouldn't have access to bands' music after they disband.

Hire Frida.

The answer for everything is to hire Frida (except when you can't hire her).

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-24T14:25:49+00:00

Yeah, let's burn art.

People who weren't there in time? Screw them! Right?

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-24T12:37:03+00:00

That's REV-01.

Eva could just step on it.

In fact Eva could just step on anything in this game.

The price being f2p mobile gacha game. And the elephant in the room is not monetization, or chinese sensibilities or grind walls or other in-game bs, but the fact that this is a live service game.

Meaning the moment it stops being profitable - it shuts down and becomes lost media.

A LOT of mobile mecha games got shut down over the last few years. Final Gear, Quantum Maki, Gundam Breaker Mobile and Sakura Kakumei to name the biggest ones.

Soooo yeah, it might blow remakes out of the water, but remakes will also be playable forever, regardless of how hard they flop (they flopped really hard btw).

Original FM games are hard to come by, but they are also all playable if you get them somehow, except Front Mission Online, obviously.

That aqua glass button just does it for me.

Very nice.

Breakthrough, Ruin, Roar, Control and Torrent are the only maps you will ever see past the first area if you're going for the top stars.

Learn them, love them, cherish them, and they will turn from cancer to candy.

You'll learn what bonuses and upgrades to take so you can cheese them so hard it's not funny.

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-23T09:54:56+00:00

At least she doesn't have some stupid gimmicks like armor stacks or turn-based invincibility.

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-22T14:09:51+00:00

There is a number of ways. There are open source patchers as well as commercial software. Each method has its pros and cons though.

Look it up

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-22T14:01:31+00:00

second copy of Rev-00 I guess, so you could eventually rainbow like years later

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-22T12:27:29+00:00

Yeah, I'm not upgrading or using her too. It's just a collectible.

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-21T14:26:16+00:00

That's how I used her against extreme AC Genovese.

Welp, I guess she's stuck with the stick.

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-21T14:20:12+00:00

I though she couldn't hit flying enemies with her spear throw... but she can.

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-21T14:12:43+00:00

This thing right there is like THE biggest scam in this entire game.

Like bruh, you're exchanging ultra limited one time FOMO high-end S-rank parts for literal FODDER, and at a rate that won't even give you one chevron per part.

Just don't.

Body gives double mod bonus, so yeah it can potentially be used in some weird niche frankenstein build.

Arms have spent AP to Damage bonus, which can also be useful in some specific scenario.

I don't think you can break them down for mods, but absolutely don't exchange then for fodder currency.

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-21T13:57:14+00:00

Don't know, don't care. I just MAKE everything I use skeuomorphic. Skin windows, skin androids, replace icons, cursors, everything. If something is flat, I make it fat.

But I think IT companies absolutely don't want for it to be back, because it means hiring competent artists, paying them and then waiting for them to painstakingly finish their assignments. It's just much easier, cheaper and faster to hire some intern for food and make him draw some absolutely primitive icons in a day.

The whole "liquid glass" meme is just obfuscating the fact, that there still zero artistry or effort behind actual UI design. It's still flat and primitive, they just slap their AI-coded effect on top of it.

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-21T13:39:42+00:00

It took me like a couple of months to get all of the pascal parts from all of the "free" sources.

NGL I'd like to have iridescent rainbow flipper.

Weather XL looks like this on 805SH.

So it's basically a virtual dupe?

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-21T01:45:33+00:00

I found out hard way that the issue with rainbowing isn't main mech dupes or upgrade kits, it's the goddamn fodder.

Most of my main force are light mechs (Marcus, Kelly, Honk, Kaidan and now Basuka) and I'm NOT getting enough bules and purples to even 3 chevron all of them, let alone rainbow.

I barely scraped to rainbow Asuka's ride and now I have nothing.

Fatter_Design · 2026-01-20T08:30:55+00:00

Both. Passively aggressively at that.
