Penelope Analysis

Guard-Oriented Defensive Juggernaut

The Penelope is a very hard Armored mobile suit to take down. The biggest reason behind this is its ridiculously high guard rate stat of 110%. The downside is that with every hit it tanks, its guard rate goes down by 5% for 10 seconds, stacking up to a maximum reduction of 100% guard rate.

Despite that, it will shrug off high-damage attacks like it's nothing when its guard rate is up, and it will take 20 attacks in a 10-second window to completely deplete its guard rate stat, which is quite hard to pull off without the right mobile suits. When attacks do manage to go unguarded, Penelope's high DEF stat from its EX Skill will cushion the blow. On top of this, it also boasts an increase to its max HP when transcended.

This mobile suit is undoubtedly a strong defensive unit thanks to its ability to negate even the highest damage attacks, waste your opponents' EX skills, and buy its team enough time to deal their damage. It's particularly more effective in PvP game modes like Arena, as players here often run teams with hard-hitting attacks that the Penelope can just guard against. It can be less effective in PvE where its guard rate may get quickly worn down with constant attacks.

Good Damage Potential

Penelope's capabilities on the defensive side of things are undoubtedly very impressive, but this mobile suit boasts some strong beam damage potential as well. Its EX skill deals 1385% of its ATK to one targeted unit, as well as increasing the beam damage it does by 60%. It also uses its EX skill fairly frequently, as it's a frontline unit that's constantly seeing action and charging up its EX gauge.

It helps that it restores 3% of its EX gauge on being hit as well. The beam damage buffs it receives from its EX and Transcendent skills work well for this MS because all of its weapons deal this type of damage. Finally, it becomes fairly accurate when being damaged, receiving up to a 25% increase in its accuracy.

Needs Transcending To Be Effective

What makes this mobile suit so good is its high guard rate stat of 110%. Without transcending it, you'll only have a maximum guard rate of 55%, and that'll be chunked down rather quickly with every attack it takes.

Transcending will also increase your max HP and beam damage while also making it start battles with its EX gauge already halfway full. If you wish to field this unit, prioritize getting its Transcendent skills, as it's not very impressive without them.

Lane bolsters the Penelope's guard rate even more by 24%, bringing the maximum total up from 110% to 134% and the minimum from 10% to 34%, which significantly improves the Penelope's survivability.

On top of that, she has a Resistance buff that decreases the damage her mobile suit gets, further cushioning blows whenever attacks go through her guard. She also grants it bonuses to its accuracy and ranged sense. All of the boosts Lane grants are useful to the Penelope.

Unlike some other signature MS and pilot pairings that don't matter as much, this pairing is a must-have if you want the MS to perform at its highest level.
