it has an R mode now, just like V2A's R mode.

check the latest KR patch thread, a vid of it should be there.

My god. I love it. That funnel reload is GODLY. I wonder if it's as fast as HWS's with reload up? AND once Hawk of Endymion kicks in it's going to be even better.

How much damage does the funnel burst do? It's just too bad that it doesn't apply stun, but the mix of beam and ballistics makes it a pretty good mode to be in. Not as crippled as V2A in the face of ifield at least. The range is pretty nice too.

My only problem with the thing is that the barrier is pretty much useless when Yata kicks in, but I guess by that time, you'll be spamming mode 1 and its funnels more.

All in all it looks pretty good.

I am glad I didn't trash mine now. Now to wait for the patch to be applied to TW if ever xD

it still will flee in the face of hi-nu and v2ab
btw the barrier isnt 100% reduction

Yep, saw the reduction was 80% or so.

Well hi-nu is MUCH more versatile and has a full body barrier so it's practically a landslide win for hi nu =))

And V2AB is really powerful against most other units anyway (though it lacks ballistics in barrier mode)

Point being, I think it's still far from being too high on the tier list but Shiranui is much more loveable now and has a pretty nice setup. I think I like the new Shira more than Akat now actually, if only for the lolzepicreload on the funnels XD

but which is better ? is it hi nu or is it hws? i've already thrown around 220k for him with extenders and still didnt get squat =/

and which would u guys recommend for a good ranged suit?

v2ab / unicor NTD / strike freedom / zeta awaked / FA ZZ

V2AB.
Cause it's V2AB.

Bolded: Both are completely different suits.

Underlined: V2AB triumphs because... well like melty said, its V2AB. It can do pretty much everything.

Next I would choose Zeta Awakening, but it's effectiveness was reduced when it got those reload nerfs... not as useful as it use to be but still good.

Strike Freedom is damn versatile.

NTD I never really liked =S

And Full Armor ZZ I never used before so I don't know.

FAZZ is pretty much outclassed nowadays with so many hax shit stuff running around, having no game breaking special feature and a very very basic weapon set

NTD is probably the easiest and most simplest to use . V2AB Is easy to use but u`ll probably have to switch a lot And its harder to mix .

Being a Crossbone fan for quite sometime , How is X1 Kai`s overall performances ? I know it has wicked melee stuff but quite curious yo , How is its ranged abilities ? Defense ?

Long range - ur ****ed
Mid range - ur kind of ok but if u get hit a lot, u just explode, it's not that x1 has low defense, he has no i field nor infighter + high damage oc6 full atk meta makes it just boom
close range - they are ****ed
remember ur only ranged weaponry are beam rifles (buster gun/zanbuster) and dagger, since u have no stun u can't do the 007 style of sniping people with daggers

=..=

dat dagger snipe

Yeah in an open or space map you are so fcked you may as well give up.

I figured that X1 Kai, if you're too cautious it's not always a good thing. Going apeshit, slashing and whipping your way through everything seems to work better for me.

The daggers are particularily useful because they slow down your enemies and lets you catch up to them faster. I generally end up using mode 2 more because it's much easier to deal with more than an enemy in that mode.

Oh and I got fed up with the defense and I added HP Def OC...

might as well use rocknanju than X1K
meanwhile, X2K continues to rape shit

how is F91 now ? i heard they buffed F91

gotta ask, since im almost done with 00Q and i have no S rocks.

whats a good rock that is an S RANK not SR nor SS that gets the job done in KR

P.S: if your answer is "get a paper or some fegged up shit" or "no rock gets the job done" save your self some time and don't post......

susano O , nataku , T3 , X1 , or 00 for tanky

simply, X3
even after the nerf its still the only S rock worth using without SS/SR in consideration

all other rocks are...naturally...sad

00 tanky!!!!???

that goes against every story i have ever heard about that thing.....

anyways thanks kirov

To be honest, you really shouldn't get something because it is "good", you should just get what you like.
Because if everybody just gets what is good, I don't see how fun pvp can be, it would be dull and boring because everything is the same.....
What's good doesn't really matter much anyway, it just means you take less effort to win.
It's not like you need to win at all times, no real benefit to it if you aren't using something you wanted.
