GBO2 RX-0 Phenex (NT): It's stronger than the Unicorn?!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 дек 2022
- This video is a recent custom match I had with the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Phenex on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 700 cost general with insanely powerful shooting, powerful NT-D melee like Unicorn, high mobility, team heal ability and a barrier like Moon Gundam. I think it is fair to say that the Phenex has no notable weaknesses or downsides. It feels more complicated than the Unicorn or Banshee due to its toolkit being harder to use, but it feels like it combines the strengths of both Moon Gundam and Unicorn Gundam while turning them up to 11. I am still learning how to use all of its weapons and skills to the fullest but this match still went amazingly. I hope that you enjoy watching!
The primary weapon of the Phenex is a beam magnum with 3600 power, 5 ammo, 350m range, 6 seconds cooldown, 14 seconds reload, 0.8 seconds focus and 10% stagger value. This recently had its cooldown, splash radius and leg damage nerfed. It still has insanely high power though along with a large projectile.
Its primary melee weapon is a single saber in normal mode or two sabers in NT-D mode. This has 2800 (2900) power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.77 (0.5) seconds swap time, standard melee modifiers in normal mode with 150% downswing modifier and 70% combo modifier in NT-D. These have the standard Federation swings in normal mode but have a unique moveset in NT-D.
Its first sub weapon is a head vulcan with 150 power, 40 ammo, 600 RPM, 11 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap, 200m range, 1500 DPS and 6% stagger value. These have insanely high power and stun potential for vulcans. They pair very well with your lock on Armed Armor attack for more damage and stun accumulation.
Its second sub weapon is a back beam cannon with 1200x2 (1500x2) power, 50% (80%) heat, 1 (4) seconds cooldown cooldown, 450m range, 18 seconds overheat and 35%x2 stagger value. These don't instant stagger in normal mode but have low heat and cooldown for continuous fire. In NT-D mode they change to regular instant stun cannons with high power. They have low ridigity which makes it easy to enter into melee from a stun.
Its third sub weapon is a lock on Armed Armor DE attack with 1000x2x3 (1000x2x4) power, 1 ammo, 300m (350m) range, 13 (10) seconds reload and 35%x2x3 (35%x2x4) stagger value. These lock on like funnels and send out high ballistic power shields with good stagger value to attack the enemy. They can be locked on while boosting as well. This is your huge damage nuking source and easily deletes raids, especially the Sinanju Stein.
In NT-D mode it gains access to a barrier version of Armed Armor DE with 100% heat and 25 seconds overheat. It is unknown how much HP this barrier has but this weapon deploys a shield around you that blocks all stuns, including melee, until it is destroyed or 10 seconds have passed. This allows you to easily gain the advantage in close range fights to stun them from behind your barrier.
In NT-D mode it also gains access to a tonfa melee weapon with 3500 power, 2 seconds cooldown, 0.33 seconds swap and 150% downswing modifier. This has insanely high power and is also easy to hit with a long range thrusting downswing.
The Phenex has 21000 HP, 30 ballistic resist, 32 beam resist and 16 melee resist. It has high ranged defences but its melee resist is rather low. This isn't an issue though since it has the slots to easily build 46 melee defence. You have Maneuver Armor in both modes but activating NT-D upgrades your Leg Buffer and Psycommu Weapon Buffer by one level, where they are LV1 and LV4 in normal mode respectively.
You also have 130 (135) walk speed, 220 (230) boost speed, 75 thrust and 69 (84) turning speed. Your mobility is a little below average in normal mode but NT-D mode makes you incredibly nimble. You have LV2 Forced Injector, Flight Control and Emergency Evasion in normal mode but NT-D increases these by one level each.
Its stand out skill is the NT-D Ability Boost which adds +25 ranged modifier, takes away -25 melee modifier and upgrades the suits stats, skills and weapons. This works much the same way as the other two Unicorns in that it slowly drains your HP while active. You can activate Awaken after a set amount of time in NT-D to restore 2000 of your own and allies HP, reduces damage taken by 15% and reduces shooting modifier by -55 and melee modifier by -5. This stops the HP drain of NT-D and buffs your defences but comes at the cost of shooting damage. This isn't an easy decision to make so its not always ideal to activate Awaken.
Overall I think that the Phenex is absurdly powerful. It has all the strengths of the Unicorn plus those of the Moon Gundam. It seems harder to play then both of them but in the hands of a skilled player it will be absolutely unstoppable. I can 100% recommend rolling for it if you have the tokens. Thanks for watching and I hope that you enjoyed it!

Oh yay, just what we needed in 700 Edit: on rewatch, the suits melee does seem very telegraphed, so teammates could tackle to help. Still seems very oppressive though.
I think the downswing is the same as Efreet Custom. So it should be good to use after a stun. Or using the tonfa downswing.
It's so weird hearing agnes dei without the meme part lol
Good gameplay as always!
3:49 imagine being in this situation
I knew it was only a matter of time before you figured it out. Ironically, I went a different direction with my run, for testing purposes. Glad I wasn't that far off on the path for Phenex. Cheers!
Phenex is really awesome but I just fear its implications on the meta for 700 cost lol
I expected it to be a support so the triangle would be complete x)
I did as well. They will probably make Full Armor Unicorn the support.
@@avenger1_gbo260 hoping they bring Perfectibility too the combination of all 3 units Banshee Unicorn and Phennex
700 cost really is something else.
Damn like it thanx for the rate up i also got the banshee today so all 3 goodys in my hangar Finally, just Took all my tookens to get to this thou
The phenex trembles before the might of the zaku 1
*With machine gun!*
Phenex fears the LV12 Zaku 1 with overtune everything
@@avenger1_gbo260 yes
Gotta say appropriate song
Didn't have the tokens for this, but I played a few rounds with Unicorn just now
Unicorn has batter melee damage and the bazooka is good for stopping Manuever Armor, so it's actually still completely usable
Yeah Unicorn still feels really strong. It feels like 700 meta for generals will be between the Phenex and Unicorn.
I thought phenex would have a team heal ability
@@bishounenpooru it does. You just have to be close for the heal to hit.
Game: Gundam
Music: Ace Combat
Game Mode: Titanfall
using Ace Combat 4 Megalilith as an opening song, very well done. Also quite fitting
Good vid like music in the background good memories
Zaku 3C didn't have a fun time against 3 gens shooting him down...
Ey Ace Combat 4 Final mission intro & bgm nice
Not a fan of stop to shoot weapons, especially on suits meant to be highly mobile, but this one is much more suited to my playstyle than the other unicorns. I just hope banshee norn doesn't come out for a while cuz it took all 7 steps
Yeah same lol. I hope they release it for the spring festival so I have plenty time to save up.
Its funny how I got the Banshee while doing the 7 Steps trying to get the Phenex lol already used all my luck in 2022 & 2023 lol
@@dankuso111Indeed. Out of the 7 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s units I have, only 1 came from an in guaranteed roll. Would have been 8 but I fumbled the the Sinanju step-up.
Only use it’s mega cannon when the ms is toppled or firring from a far.In Ntd mode use it for a stun to then combo
But avenger.Why no balastic armor?
I JUST SINGLE PULLED PHENEX!
And no money spent
Nice!
@@avenger1_gbo260 but uhh single pull luck prob gone lol
I think the only real weakness it that the the DEs are physically and will return to you if they happen to hit a wall other than that still probably the best unicorn. Also glad awaken at least has some notable downside
I think they made Unicorn awaken the same way. Unicorn awaken takes away 45 melee mod now.
Just pulled for this bad boi and had a blast with it in practice mode. Can't wait to try it later. The grind was worth it.
Did you got it from 7 step?
Or with standard banner?
@@j3fron 7 step, i dont do standard banners
@@awildbluedestinyunit1appea333 Man, 195 tokens needed then 😂
Currently i only got 148 tokens atm 😂
Previously i got jesta shezar from 5 times pull out 😂
I guess im gonna skip it then
@@j3fron i have a feeling the Silver Bullet Suppressor will be the next banner so you could pull for that maybe lol
@@awildbluedestinyunit1appea333 Nvm, i just pulled it out for 5x in std banner 😂😂
1. The whole charged shot followed by stop to fire really remind me of how ZZ/EZZ play at ranged ngl.
2. I find it funny that after hundreds upon hundreds of suits released, some of particularly massive size, there's finally one that can actually hurt you by just running face first into you.
3. I noticed that compared to Unicorn, Banshee, or even Nu; Phenex feels alot more vulnerable to supports (especially Kshatriya on a bigger map) because of its armed armors making it a much bigger target (not that I personally mind too much).
Yup. I think Kshatriya and Dag Doll will be really good counters to Phenex if used well. Big target without the same i-field shield that the Unicorn has.
Don’t worry comrades I expect a buff on phenex soon I can feel it
high damage in melee, in ranged good bulk and mobility, BB that claims to play the game everyday moment
Nu Gundam, Sazabi, Moon Gundam and Sinanju can totally compete bro! Trust me!!!!1111!!!11
Who thought this was okay to release into the wild? Thing is busted lol
I usually try to avoid using units that are so chunky/large its just too big of a target.
Great, another freaking busted suit? This time it heals people in radar range while transformed now imagine that with a whole team of Phenex doing the same thing.
Seriously what was the point in nerfing Unicorn TWICE only to release an even more Busted suit!?
You my friend are an Ace
Does anyone get phenex with standard banner?
Not the 7 step one?
That 7 step need at leas 195 tokens 🙄
Edit : i got it now with std banner for 5x 😂😂
What's the best way to get it
the fact it can heal team mates and you w ntd and awaken and fixes parts of allies too is cool but thats def a support style effect
this should of been a support
the shields can eat a fuckton of dmg i swear its like they are on a timer not a dmg taken thing like other shield units
its funnels are gross too just use vulcans while they orbit shred someone and hello stunlock
also the boosting for a sec gives w ram effect can be used to just rush and stun combo someone and despite the melee dmg going down in its two modes the dmg it does is still fat as hell
this thing is a monster
as for the buffs and nerfs
unicorns still a brain dead unga bunga spamming suit its shotgun rockets stun range it way too far and itll now maybe not kill w its spin to win spam but barely
delta got gutted it can still try to push someone but wont get as many stuns to do so and has to do it fast or risk losing its beam coating vs its prior lemme walk up on you chain stunning then downswing so its guerrilla sniper role or frontline support is made mandatory no more wannabe general shit w it
the schurzum gallus is still overpowered will still one combo anything at its cost the shotgun nerf does nothing a melee dmg drop does nothing
they need to drop its melee wep recovery speed so at best you get one combo and make the knuckles down someone from any hit and remove the dmg vs downed enemies
as it stands itll still solo anything vs it being a sneaky nimble suit to roll up w someone and chunk you with them or just clip a huge chunk of dmg off u solo
i get its hard to balance it given its niche setup but honestly its still way way too strong
they buffed the goog gk
for what reason i have no idea that thing is nasty maybe its 550 unit was getting stomped but its playstyle of rush in heavy is less effective at higher cost anyway so
rezel got a buff….
still a bad suit needs manuever armor or more range its still a worse methus
high speed gm and gelgoog and gaza buffs were nice
zaku 4 got damage control faster charge time less hear its charged shot pierces its knuckle cooldown got buffed so u can get off a second hit when you knock someone down and the stun on its pistols got buffed to feel more like the IP so a burst stuns proper
oh and hp and defense buffs
holy god its an oppressive support now that if we ever see a lvl 2/3 would be the nightmare tag team w the zaku4 ip
also exs got buffed
no idea if itll help it or not but buffs did seem good
About ReZEL. I think you are wrong. It seems extremely powerful now lol. I got a 242k damage game in it that I plan to upload later.
@@avenger1_gbo260 i never said it cant do dmg its just it always feels like its getting shot down or stunned alot because its range on its weps feels lower then methus for hit and run and no MA on a general at that cost is always bad
Oh great the unicorns are still busted!
Making me wanna finish the steps if you keep uploading phenex videos..maybe it's a blessing my payments won't go through on my ps4
7 steps beed at least 195 tokens 🙄
What a joke 🙄
I will probably do a commentary video later for it
@@avenger1_gbo260 sounds good
Its quite fragile, but a good range unit, and melee unit when NTD mode.
like every unicorn gundam in gbo2
Yup. I like using it more as a melee unit now that I play it more though. The tonfa downswing is so op.
Leave it to Zeon to paint a perfectly good gold gundam pink. Or whatever thell puke color the Big Zam is supposed to be.
Gundam jesus
That downswing reach is stupid ridiculous
It feels longer than GP03 Stamen lol
Jealous. Anyway yes vs normal Unicorn lore wise it's stronger. With Banaghner Unicorn at full power I think it can surpass Phenex though. Unlike Rita at least Banaghner wouldn't suffer that fate. . .

Well now phenex is available and with recent debuff, is there any main point of still using the vanilla unicorn compared to this?
Unicorn still has the advantage of offence system, shrapnel bazooka and stronger melee ability in NT-D. Though since the nerf to awaken melee power, Phenex and Unicorn do the same melee damage once Unicorn activates Awaken.
@@avenger1_gbo260 I see, i guess phenex is a bit more complex to use and unicorn is better suited for someone who prefer simpler melee gamestyle and likes the stun sharpnel bazooka.
@@someone............. The Unicorn is just normal meta play style basically turned up to 120 percent.
Help me decide: Should I go for a Unicorn banner or Phenex? Which one is better overall?
Phenex is better over-all
And it's stuff like this, that keeps me from playing any of my 700 suits... I have unicorn and this monster but it's just not fun with them here... it's all the same every match...
700's starting to get real bloated now
Almost thought they never kill you lol you was on demon time
Yeah lol this game was crazy
not that it seems to need any help but i do find the Armed Armor DEs being physical and bouncing off walls but *every other remote weapon in the game* clipping through no problem very funny.
8000 remote ballistic damage that goes through walls would be a bit much tho
I reali whod like tu get the Phenix it sims reali fun also tu tri aut the weard meilei
Im trying so hard to get the banshee lol
Good luck. I read on the website it is only a 1% chance if you want a specific suit from that banner lol.
@@avenger1_gbo260 at least I have the unicorn😁
I want either unicorn so badly 😭
@@gerogyzurkov2259 Only thing we can do is pray 🙏
@LinKuei Mafia hopefully you get it! It's a fun suit!
please tell me theres a trial for this thing
Unfortunately not
Oof, funnel into vulcans seems to harass pretty good...
It is really strong. It does so much damage lol.
Imagine the mini guns on the funnel shield for the awakening unicorn flying and firing all over the place. It's why I find XI less impressive. Capable of flying yeah, but not much of other powerful features other than that. Funnels missiles can be destroyed by shooting at them and they're massive.
What does the new part do?
Less affected by the psycommu jam and 1200 hp
+1200 HP, -10% time psycommu jacked and -10% damage taken from psycommu weapons. It costs 4 close, 2 mid and 2 long slots.
I only had 90 tokens when this thing dropped. Bought the 110 tokens for the 7 Step Up. Got a level 3 Byarlant Custom out of it & 2 Nu Gundams, although sadly I already maxed out my Nu Gundam.
Good you got it though at least
I also managed to pulled out phenex too
By doing 5x gacha with normal banner 😂
I also got byarlant isolde
But sadly i havent got, banshee until now 😂😂
I must get it because unicorn debuffed again...
I haven't tried it yet but Unicorn still feels strong
You made Epyon?
Nah I didn't intend to
Why ain’t this thing a support?
Maybe Full Armor Unicorn will be the support
agree
Bro tell us how many pulls till you get the phenex ? 😂
I did the 7 stage step up to get it
PC banner when
There is a decent chance they will do a rerun for it
Uh.. duh
Where do y’all get the money to keep doing this.Because I might stop playing GBO2 because the coins are way too overpriced.
I don't spend any money at all. I basically only roll on 4 star banners with a few exceptions. I have an alt account that I do dailies on so I can get every suit I want as well for free.
Basically pay 2 win...
@@zeroshinkai957 Nah. Just don't spend on any 2 star suits and do research on suits before hand.
What game is this
Gundam Battle Operation 2
so its not op?
It feels OP to me so far
Like GBO2 charges too much and i can’t keep spending 180$ every banner
Then don't? Save tokens on 2 star suits since the silver pool is HUGE.
Then stop spending money. Just save up for the suits you really want...
Yeah that is what ima do we gotta get the money straight n I only do 4 star banners so ye
Yeah this shit getting added officially killed GBO2 for me. That and them nerfing HADES.
Wait when did they nerf HADES? Was this some change they made years ago?
@@avenger1_gbo260 I dunno. Hell they might not have nerfed it at all. It just feels a bit underwhelming compared to a year ago. Probably cuz of all these new MS.
@@Darkoriax17 Maybe try out the Todesritter or Pale Rider VG. They have HADES and are still really strong.
