This build is super focused on getting your matches over in a heartbeat. It melts the competition like butter, and before you know it, YOU WIN.

I got a chance to speak with the pilot of this build, Whocares1 (Okun in-game) about the build and some of their current thoughts of the game and its future.

Ozule:

Well to start off, why don't you tell us a little bit about the build, in your own words.

whocares1:

It's a melee focused build intended to melt a 3v3 team instantly with EX skills. Currently a 120 CD EX skill is available to use within 1 second of starting the fight

Ozule:

That is insane! Matches must not last long at all for you then. I have to ask, as it just “RNGesus” blessing you with the parts that inspired this build? Or did you come into Gundam Battle: Gundam Warfare looking to max for a competitive edge?

whocares1:

I admit I got very lucky with a lot of my pulls (I'm f2p except for one of those 7.99 deals from September), but I like keeping an eye on the meta of whatever game I’m playing, and I like experimenting with builds and setups, albeit pretty casually. I noticed Initial CD reduction as a possibility once I pulled the Vajra Beam Saber (which otherwise isn't a noteworthy part) but the effect stacked with Exia still wasn't great. It wasn't until Scubasage mentioned how DODS rifle is really interesting that things came together.

Ozule:

Yeah the DODS Rifle ended up being really amazing, and almost slipped under the radar. Are there any current parts that are missing from the build you either have not gotten your hands on to try, or is there anything currently in the game you think would improve the build? It's already rather impressive.

whocares1:

If I had Mika, I could swap the Red Astray Legs for my GP01 legs, different arms, and use a more powerful melee weapon, but I’d be giving up bisect. At this point I'm really happy with how it performs. The head is a bit of a wasted slot but it wouldn't affect the build's gimmick anyway.

Ozule:

True. And I can understand about not wanting to give up bisect; the build all-in-all is very well put together. You mentioned you like to keep an eye on the Meta of whatever game you are currently playing; is this the first "gacha" arena fighter you have played? And if not, do you think your time with other games helped in getting this monster created?

whocares1:

I guess it's the first gacha I’ve invested time into. Actually, most gacha's don't seem to have a very deep level of build customization, which is what appealed to me in this game (besides the gunpla). I've played a few magic/hearthstone-like card games and had a Ragnarok Online phase like many others where I made gimmicky builds. I think in MTG terms I’m called a Johnny.

Ozule:

I could see that, especially after looking over this build. I have played against a few Johnny’s in MTG in my time. So with everything Bandai has been adding, is there anything you are excited to hopefully see come to the game? Suits, Features, Modes?

whocares1:

There's a ton of modes I'd like to see... but I'm trying to keep my expectations grounded haha. As for suits a lot of my favorites are already there, but I'm looking out for Psycho Zaku, Ez8, 78AL Atlas, full armor, and of course Turn A. Lupus Rex too

Ozule:

I can only imagine what atlas would look like in game HAHA. I too am looking forward to a Psycho Zaku and Lupus Rex in the game. Well last question. Do you have any advice for other players out there looking to put together unique or monstrous builds together?

whocares1:

Just take a look at what other people are making, and take ideas from here and there. Collaboration and showcasing is what makes this game unique I think.

Ozule:

We do too and it's why we thought this player showcase idea was a great one. Well on behalf of all of us here at Gamepress I want to thank you for taking the time to talk to me about this ultra fast damage-dealing monster and the game! May your sorties continue to be victorious!
