Before Starting the game

I'll be answering some questions:

Does the game have dedicated servers?
No, it works on a peer 2 peer system, even if you have good internet I highly suggest you use an LAN cable
How does keyboard and mouse fare in this game?
It's works, can be tricky the first time, but I suggest you rebinding the keys. The game works best when playing with a controller since this was a playstation exclusive
It's this game pay 2 win?
No, this game is surprisingly skill determined, which some more advanced moves might requiring you to use a controller (if you want to become better at the melee game)

- This game has 3 currencies:
- DP - Blue coins: Can be earned through missions
- Tokens - Gold coins: "Premium currency" but you always get enough through missions or the game gives to you most of the times, so If you want to spend money, due at your own volition if you want that specific Mobile suit
- Tickets - Pink movie tickets: These can be earned through recon crates (you can get a chance of drop after every match) or through duplicated itens you get on the supply drops. With them you can exchange for Mobile Suit outside of your rank, camo, clothes and markings
Any other questions I can Gladdly answer in the comments

First time entering the game

When you first login in you go to the obligatory tutorial

but after that I HIGHLY "suggest" you do the basic and intermediary tutorials, not only you learn core mechanics of the game but you get great starting Mobile Suits which are easily to learn

You can do them with Tenda, the adorable tutorial girl

Basic Gameplay

First things first: Knowing your Mobile Suits

Mobile Suits (not just Gundams) are divided in 3 categories:

Generals (Blue)
You're the bulk of the team, your job is to maintain a frontline and when the situation arrives, PROTECT YOUR SUPPORTS

You're are also very fragile against enemy supports if you're caught in the open, so don't overextend
After a battle, if you have a moment, capture the beacons, they not only give you a new respawn point, but can also be used to call uppon airstrikes, which can be game changing
Supports (Yellow)
You're the main damage dealing MS of your team, you can tank some ranged damaged, but the trade-off is that you're the slowest

So the key is positioning, never stay in one place for too long, stay close to your team, so they can help you (use them as human shields if possible if they don't get the memo)
You're also the prime target for Raids, since all your defenses focus on tanking ranged damage, so against melee weapons, you're made of tissue paper
Raids (Red)
You're are the lone operative of your team, your job is to flank the enemy and kill their suppport

Raid MSs have the best Melee in the game, but some are also good at shooting, so you can scare, finish or outright kill some supports

You can fare well in 1v1 against Generals and other Raids, but if things get too dicey, don't be afraid to fall back and reposition yourself

You're extremely fragile when focused on, and if you charge the enemy head on, you will die in seconds
Your kit have stealth or gear that can make you invisible to their radar (or in the case of Black Rider, outright invisible)

In Short, your job is to flank, kill the support or stop enemy Raids flanking, and capture beacons behind enemy lines or if the opportunity arrives: plant a bomb at the base NEAR THE END OF THE MATCH
Don't base bomb early, you can cripple your team of turning the points around

The game works with a Rock, paper, scissor mechanic or Weapon triangle mechanic

But the bonus are only +15% more damage against your prey, and -15% damage against your counter, but don't be afraid to shoot your enemy, damage it is still damage

In Short: Blue beats Red / Red beats Yellow / Yellow beats Blue

Last but not least

Remember that this is TEAM GAME

even as a Raid you depend on your team to score points and win

You're not a newtype or the protagonist, if you try fighting the entire enemy team by yourself, you will die in seconds

Help your team, protect your support and more importantly:

Have fun

If the game starts to stress you out, take a break, there's no shame on stoping for a while, I've been playing this game for 5 years now and haven't quit yet, even in the worse times

I hope this "short" introduction helps you a bit on your start, take care

I keep forgetting the exact %, but thanks clonny, nice seeing you here

ctclonny 13 Sep, 2023 @ 12:05pm

Deals 30% more damage, receives 20% less damage. Not 15% and 15%.

The system was design to be anti-ragequits, but it back fired, but since the complains from the japanese are so few and only ours is big (they don't care, japanese devs go brrrr)

So it is what we have now, since the devs are done deaf and they don't even play their own game

Just successfully played a rated match just to get disconnected in a custom match now back to lvl2 penalty. The system is design to penalize the player -_- sigh.
Most Gundam UC fan players really like this game but the game seems to hate us.

BrStriker99 [author] 9 Jun, 2023 @ 8:25pm

The only way to burn penalty is to play rated, if you don't mind your rank play space

Also it's a test of patience unfortunally due to how the "servers" are structured, so you have to keep searching for matches until ones goes through

VeteranLoser 9 Jun, 2023 @ 8:01pm

Umm... It's been more than 3 days I'm still lvl1 penalty. I dare not play rated or might get penalize again but when I do try, there practically no match up.

BrStriker99 [author] 7 Jun, 2023 @ 6:48am

The countdown is the same for all 3, once it is clear you can create games again, trust me

VeteranLoser 7 Jun, 2023 @ 4:38am

Thanks, that's all I can do now. But the penalty for creating matches seem to be permanent, there was a count down for rated & casual matches but creating matches is just penalize T_T now I can't host game to play with just friends, guess I'll have them to host for me to play.

BrStriker99 [author] 6 Jun, 2023 @ 11:12am

You can't create custom matches, but you can still join them
