Free AoE DPS Unit

The UR version of the Guncannon is a mobile suit that you could acquire and get all the way to Potential Lv. 5 just by grinding Fragment Quests. However, outside of getting you Rainbow Haro Coins from your Haro Farm, there's pretty much no use for this MS.

Its EX skill is an AoE attack that hits all enemy units for 430% of its ATK. When fully Transcended, this mobile suit also benefits from a 46% EX gauge recovery buff that allows the Guncannon to loop its EX skill much faster than the average unit.

Typical Old Generation Bombardment Kit

The rest of its skills are similar to those older Bombardment units released earlier on in the game's lifespan. This features a flat projectile damage buff, along with a projectile damage buff that stays active for as long as its HP is full, and a beam damage buff that is active until its HP falls to 80%.

Its lack of a damage cap buff prevents this MS from dealing any significant damage, and its one-dimensional kit pales in comparison to the kits today's top DPS units.

Another weakness is how it deals split projectile and beam damage, so its buffs are also split between the two damage types instead of just being strong at one.

Not Worth Transcending

When fully Transcended, the Guncannon benefits from a 25% accuracy buff, a 36% ranged damage buff, and the 46% EX gauge recovery buff we discussed above.

While these do improve the Guncannon's offensive capabilities, it still couldn't compete with today's DPS units, so you're better off saving your resources for something else.

Overall, the Guncannon is a low value mobile suit that you shouldn't really be using for combat, aside from being a fodder unit to clear easy Total War stages.

Just like his signature MS, Kai Shiden's buffs aren't really that impactful, with his ranged buffs not amounting to much at all. Even with its signature pilot, you don't want to use the Guncannon for combat.

Recommended Unit Enhancement Levels

Main Weapon Power 31 / Accuracy 41 / Ex Gauge 31
Additional Weapon Power 20 / Accuracy 41 / Ex Gauge 42
Third Weapon Power 41 / Accuracy 61

The Unit Enhancement setup above is a multi-purpose setup meant to excel across different game modes. However, depending on the content, there may be situations where it is better to invest more points into accuracy.

You can try adjusting your Unit Enhancement setup if you can't win against certain stages. However, this will not guarantee you a win, so you should also factor in all the other elements in play and adjust accordingly.

Mobile Suit Synergy Explanation
