Washed Defensive King

At some point, the Penelope used to be one of, if not the hardest 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 was 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 was a defensive juggernaut that was insanely hard to take down, but with the arrival of the crit rework and the emergence of crit-based units like the Ez8, the Penelope sadly isn't nearly as good as it used to be. If you didn't already know, critical strikes have been reworked to deal huge damage while also being able to bypass the guard rate, so guard-oriented units generally have much less value compared to before.

Overall, the Penelope is a mobile suit that's past its prime given the arrival of the crit rework. It can still be very hard to deal with without critical hits, but it's not nearly as tough against crit-oriented teams.

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 deals 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, which is already halfway full. If you wish to field this unit, prioritize getting its Transcendent skills, as it's nowhere near as impressive without them.

Best Pilot

	Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway

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.

Best Upgrades

This mobile suit is an Armored unit, and the suggested Unit Enhancement allocations of mobile suits from this category vary highly depending on what kind of team you’re facing. Try to analyze what kind of issues you're having trouble with and then strategize accordingly.

Do note that allocating or reallocating your Unit Enhancement Points will not guarantee you a win, and it is a costly process too. Think twice before doing so to avoid wasting valuable resources.
