It has been a few weeks since my first login to GBN, I have already spotted Riku and Yukio(or Yukki IGN) in the shop a couple of times, since we are classmates they know who I am. I have been busy doing quests every day gathering part data's to burn to increase my part levels and upgrade the part rarities.
(Those who played Gundam Breaker and Mobile Warfare can skip these next lines)
In GBN Gundam parts can be strengthened, Each gunpla is separated from Head, Torso, Arms, Legs, and Backpack. Regarding the rarity there are Common (White), Uncommon (Green), Rare (Blue), Exclusive (Purple), and Legendary (Orange).
Aside from upgrading a part to Legendary, there is also the option to add abilities to a part, these abilities like Increase Melee Attack can also be upgraded to a set limit, another is to add an element to your attack this ability is limited to weapons only.
Besides using Custom gunpla that you can also login without one and use pre-made models instead, for example, new players get to start with either a GM type or Zaku type of the same generation both at Common Rarity. Once you get into a few missions in the game and unlock new parts you can build your Mobile suit by either buying a virtual Kit or mismatching parts except they won't be as heavily Customized. Both playstyle gunpla can be upgraded to Legendary Rank for a much balance experience, but the Custom ones can have various gimmicks within the boundaries of the Game.
(AN: The Champion was only able to use his Card based system because it was one of his reward for being a champion.)
Lastly is the Avatar customization part of the game. Aside from changing the Avatar's appearance, and min-maxing your Avatar status points, you can also add special abilities like Newtype, Cyber-Newtype, Coordinator, etc. What did you think because your unit has a Trans-Am system you can effectively control a robot moving twice or even 3x as fast? The GBN has some gimmick to it otherwise few people can use those performance-boosting special systems. Heck, you have to be a Newtype or an equivalent just to use Funnels.
Naturally, you can also increase the level of your abilities with special items you get from specific daily missions. And increase your Avatar stats from the same daily missions.
It took me a long time you know. Getting my Avatar to Max Stats and my abilities are also Max level. The funny thing is though, Newtype and Coordinator Ability Do not stack you can have both of them in your Avatar.
Why am I focusing on my Character much well? Shenanigans happened. And I found my body and my Avatar body combined in another world but that a story far in the future.
