GBO2: Psycho Bawoo [Post Buff], Colony Drop Area

Psycho Bawoo's back already?! Yeah it was buffed so we gotta revisit it...

Per usual, lets go over its kit. Psycho Bawoo is a 650 General MS, it's the second MS ever in game to have the moon plates. (Still waiting for G-Doors...) You get a modified Bawoo Rifle that can Single fire for an Insta stun, or fire all 6 round sin 3 round bursts for double the damage, the rounds also insta stun. You get a bawoo "shield" that fires in 3 round burst (instead of insta with the normal one.) with good build stun, or fully charge for a hard hitting Insta stun. You can fire 2.5 volley's before Overheat with the non charge, or 2 Full charges before Overheat. You have Wrist grenade launchers that hs 4 total ammo, firing in rapid double shots, they have pretty good build stun as well. And as usual you get a beam saber, The animation is like Hi-Mo Kampfer's downswing.

Onto the big damage dealer... Your plates. Unlike Moon's plates that launch for a devastating strike In a line. Your plates launch and do Phenex's Armed Armor DE pattern, a crossing attack x3 times. If the plate hit an object, only that plate will return to you, the rest will go attack still IF they didn't hit anything. They also do considerable amount of total damage when all 3 volley's hit, equivalent to Moon's Damage when it does it's plates on a downed enemy. And because you have these plates, you also gain access to the Plate shield that blocks EVERYTHING. Understandably its not the same duration, or HP resistance like Moon's, but its enough to really put the fight in favor of you when in the thick of it. The plates are also boost to fire, so you can be boosting and launch them at the same time. when your plates are triggered you gain increased attack, so Its heavily encouraged that you launch your plates then dump EVERYTHING you have to that target... they will melt... and if its a raid you might outright kill them.

Now, Psycho Bawoo is about 2 months old, and in those 2 months BB deemed it needed a buff... No I'm not lying, it got a buff last month during Anni. It's Leg buffer went from level 1 to level 2, Its BR reload went from 15 seconds to 12 seconds, the focus shortened from 3 seconds to 2.5 seconds. The launch plates Reload went from 15 seconds to 12 seconds, and the hit detection and interval between attacks was shortened, to easier to hit the target. Meaning that the attack animation is shorter, and increase the shot of you hitting someone who is boosting/flying. And the Psycho plates defend overheat was shortened from 22 seconds to 20 seconds.

Overall Psycho Bawoo is broken, It's for sure meta. The plates went from really good, to cracked. Its defense went from good, to great, its up time went from good, to amazing. You can cycle your weapons and almost never run out of stuff to shoot. Your burst damage is almost guaranteed now every time you use your plates. If you time your plates with your shield or grenade attacks, You can get INSANE build stun while melting everything like its nothing. Your build matters A LOT however, Reloaders' are no longer required. so go range and some defense to hit very hard. Psycho-Frame isn't required, but it makes your life easier. This suit on paper is pretty damn easy to play. But if you aren't used to playing suits like Phenex or Moon, then you will struggle to play this MS. You HAVE to know how, and when, to use the plates. Otherwise you will be wasting them. Even with the shorter reload, you wanna use them wisely. TRY to aim for the raid, if you cant then aim for someone who is close to you for a higher shot of hitting them, is occupied, or got no thrust.

These two fights show's just how strong the suit is. It is insanely strong, broken strong, Illegal level's of damage it can just dump out. Raids fear this suit, Generals fear this suit, Even supports fear this suit! Seriously i don't understand how people struggled to do damage in it! I DON'T! It's Win Rate and Rival Rate was really low somehow. Now id argue its the most broken 650 Gen. Its easy to play, hard to counter, hard to catch, Hard to stop once it gets going... It's my new main. I'll probably do a how to video for this suit in the future.
