New commanders entering the game world, are you dazzled by the plethora of cool mechas? Which one to choose? Which one to train? Afraid of wasting resources by choosing the wrong one? Don't worry, this guide on advanced pairing in Gundam Iron Poem is here to provide a basic introduction. It can help everyone get set up right from the start, easily assemble an efficient team, and instantly transform into a command genius. It also brings gaming fun to players who are not familiar with Gundam.
Let's first talk about the general-purpose lineup, which is a versatile combination for beginners. You can use the Gundam Seravee and Z Gundam; these two mechas are both excellent at survival and output. The Gundam Seravee can withstand enemy fire and deal considerable damage, while the Z Gundam can catch enemies off guard with its attacks. In a burning lineup, you can place these roles, as they are suitable for long-term battles. Then there is the Gundam Regenerate, which is the core of this lineup. It can stack burn status, making enemies struggle in flames.
Add the Gundam Freedom and Gundam Exia, one to draw fire and the other for sustained output. With the coordination of these few Gundams, enemies will be slowly worn down. This lineup is particularly suitable for scenarios like monthly BOSS battles that require prolonged combat. If you prefer high-burst quick attacks, then the high-attack critical hit lineup is a must-try. For example, the Sazabi is the soul of this lineup, capable of dealing massive damage through attribute stealing and critical hits. Paired with the Gundam Virtue and ν Gundam, these three can thrive on the battlefield, quickly reducing enemy numbers. This lineup is perfect for players who like to resolve battles swiftly.
Another type is the OS Malfunction lineup, which is an excellent choice for multi-target control and burst. The Gundam Seravee makes another appearance, but this time it’s not alone; it teams up with the Gundam Akatsuki and Gundam Astraea to cause trouble for the enemy. The Gundam Akatsuki provides stable control, immobilizing enemies, while the Gundam Astraea stacks attack and critical hit buffs, making the team's output even more terrifying. Once this lineup is activated, enemies can only watch helplessly as they are eliminated.
The melee brute force lineup is a highly intimidating combination, centered around the Gundam Freedom, paired with two Gundam Impulse. The Gundam Freedom has powerful AOE output, with a wide attack range, capable of damaging large areas. The Gundam Impulse is known for its multi-hit attacks, continuously raining down firepower on enemies. These two complement each other, allowing new players to easily handle various stages in PVE, clearing out mobs effortlessly. The biggest advantage of this combination is its simple and direct operation, making it easy for even those with poor hand-eye coordination to enjoy the thrill of high damage.
However, it is not without its flaws. When facing enemies with long-range attacks, players need to adjust their positioning flexibly to avoid being attacked from a distance and falling into a passive situation. Another common strategy is the long-range attrition lineup, consisting of the Gundam Strike, Archangel, and Gundam Deathscythe Hell. The Gundam Strike, as one of the main damage dealers, has excellent long-range attack capabilities, able to continuously strike enemies from a safe distance. The Archangel plays a support role, providing various buffs to teammates.
The Gundam Deathscythe Hell, with its unique weapon system, deals massive damage to enemies. This combination is suitable for kiting tactics, especially excelling in BOSS battles. Players can skillfully use movement techniques to keep their distance from enemies, gradually wearing them down. The advantage of the long-range attrition lineup is its high safety and low error tolerance, making it a top choice for BOSS battles. There is also a versatile combination known as the all-rounder, consisting of the Gundam Freedom, Gundam Destiny, and Gundam Impulse. This combination is a versatile team, capable of handling both stage clearance and PvP with ease.
The Gundam Freedom's melee AOE output and the Gundam Impulse's multi-hit attacks provide strong firepower support for the team, while the Gundam Destiny can play a unique role at critical moments, adding more variables to the battle. This combination covers both melee and ranged combat, making the output environment more stable and reliable. However, its COST requirement is relatively high, so players need to pay special attention to energy distribution during battles to ensure that each mecha can perform at its best.
That concludes the introduction to the advanced pairing in Gundam Iron Poem. Whether it's any of these lineups, they are all advanced combinations designed for beginners, as the initial lineup is indeed quite simple. After setting up the core, you can use other Gundams to complement your team.
