New weekly updates to j Cosmic Break. Items have been changed in Weekly garapon and UC garapon, there is simply a new lineup of bots available in Weekly including ones I've never seen before such as Pashifaal (M air) and Parusardioγ (that would be a Greek gamma symbol at the end γ)

There appears to be parts for Oberion added to the UC garapon.

Megagarapon is gone, NO IVIS FOR YOU

And the SP Garapon now includes a silver haired Crim-chan as a silver ball. This means she's available in SP Garapon and in orange haired version as a gold ball Garapon 4.

Damn, servers crashed before I could finish my post. No indication that the half off sale has ended yet but it will be soon. UC to Rt exchange is still available and each month you can earn enough for a spin of Garapon if nothing else.

It would be nice to see more anons play in Japan especially when looking for teams for quests and missions.

Have fun anon!

Also, servers crashed? Brace yourself for free 50Rt.

I like how Medi Aide got on Garapon SP literally just after I got mine from the anniversary cube. At least I have the blonde version instead of the white haired one. Seems Izuna is still there too, and I still need her booster.

I forgot the exact details, but I think it's the spider bot with winbell's drawguns and x2 bazooka is a deathtrap. It does so much damage, draws you into his team, and you can't do anything during his burst. I've died a few times from full hp of 600 because of it.
A second nasty combo is using an ART with stuff like gun arm mod's hand shot arms, rifle AMJ, x2 handy bazooka, gun arm mod BS, and any HD with weapon. It can pretty much shred any bot within seconds (easily 200-300 damage a second with PS/hypershot).

The spider bot and draw gun won't work without a draw gun now. basically what I'm trying to say is, you don't even have to try and make a good bot yourself if you have an ivis, or have to rely on power spots or hypershot (which you might not even have depending on the map). Btw does anyone know a good build for greinaut (L mech sup with attraction/repulsion), cuz I happened to get one from the the random mech ball.

Ivis really isn't that good, to be honest. Amongst the more broken builds in the game, she's pretty tame.

Protip: If you absolutely can't keep your distance, jump over her as she starts her combo. You'll completely dodge the combo, and she'll be locked in it if she makes the second slash until about slash 5, giving you ample time to pound away her meager health. There's a reason only one person used Ivis in the clan tournament finals.

Dual-shielded Dogs are much more dangerous than Ivis, but thankfully only a handful of players in the english beta seem to have figured that out in comparison to the Japanese.

Simple, you use mini repair bits and charge them up by doing damage to enemies (or use a regular one if you got a drop). Farming trees is for faggots.

You know, I've seen several people use machine gun dogs, it was something like double buckler and machine gun combo, very hard to kill, even with air. Is that what people call, "Machine-dogs"?

>> No.6407882

Being a healer is very easy actually, everyone gives you a dozen wonder drugs the moment they spot you healing. And I'm pretty sure there's an increased drop chance for wonder drugs. It helps that I do have a Medi Aide and a hundred spare repair bits, but still.

>>6407845
I've seen someone rack 12k support points in one match. I was right behind him with 4k, gained exclusively by using a S AIR and fire pillaring his heal spots about seven times for the whole game. Poor guy never figured I was spending all my time killing cacti so that I'll have another pillar ready by the time he starts his next heal.

burners take down hoppers very easily since they auto-track targets. Add in paralysis if you have materials or a slot, and they spin around. You don't get much scores, but you can still take down hoppers. But damn, hoppers are so damn easy to make compared to many other mechs.

As someone who used a (muted version) hopper quite extensively, all you have to what you see someone with a flame thrower is get hit, turn around, fly off like a maniac due to the boost being on fire gives. You're out of the fight for a whole ten seconds while you cool off and turn around and go target someone who doesn't have a flamethrower.

If you want to play something that will kill hoppers play a support oriented towards it.

Drawguns for the ones without shields(Bugsys), Winberrl/Greinaut for the ones with Shields. If you can steer Ouka correctly, her combo+wind stun will also work if you can get them from behind. Alternatively, I've heard rumors that the laser nerf may not be in the english version, so if that's the case use lasers. Any laser will do fine.

>> No.6408219

The point is to stop hoppers from hopping around and putting them in burn condition so they fly and run away. (unless they have anti-burn), well if they do have anti-burn, then they are practically invulnurable unless they are hit by really good air, stardust cannon, whatever.

>> No.6408230

Why would you fly away when burned? You can still use short boost normally when on fire, the onyl danger is when the guy has paralyze tuneups, but in that case you're dead anyway.

>> No.6408344

>>6408230

Because they're going to chase you burning away, and being on fire while short boosting makes it a bitch to turn around and shoot them back because each time you land, you're propelled forward faster than you can turn. Same deal with paralyzer flamethrowers, but worse. You can escape a paralyzer flame thrower quite easily if you just try to fly away because eventually you'll get a second where you aren't paralyzed and that's all it takes to get airborn for a split second and blast away, whereas you're boned if you try to keep shortboosting.

So, the solution to hoppers is ... have cash to spend on garapon until you get bugsy, have cash for garapon until you get Greinaut, have cash for garapon for Winbell or have cash to buy the one in the shop, or use the rank reward Winbell that can't be upgraded, or just use Ouka, a bot that's been taken out of all shops and garapon?

I offered you the solution, I didn't say it would be cheap. If you want to insult someone, you should insult cyberstep, not me.

Also, no, Bugsycait is the common hopper, not a hopper counter. He's that tiny mech and jumps around ridiculously fast with Middle Bazookas(Formerly Lasers) in the japanese matches. A lot of people used them in the clan tournament.

Hoppers are mediocre imo. I can take most down one on one with a M Lnd, although I'll be pretty worn out myself. Hopping drops their accuracy so much, they're missing as much as I am missing them.

So I have this problem in jCB, it goes like this. Die by 3 hoppers targeting me, die by 4 hoppers targeting me, die by 3 hoppers targeting me, die by 3 hoppers targeting me, end up 29th place and kicked. Restart, rinse and repeat. If I carry burners I'm dead, if I stick with my teammates they scatter when hoppers come and I'm dead, if I hang back at the PS I shoot nothing until the hoppers come and I'm dead, if I go out to shoot someone before I'm dead I get surrounded by hoppers and I'm dead, if I try to outrange with Stardust canon/Izuna Kamui legs/Lily Rain skirt, or Destructor girl missile core I do very little damage until 3 or 4 hoppers target me and I'm dead or I can sit in the back doing no damage whatsoever until I'm dead.

29th place, 28th place, 26th place, 28th place, 27th place, 29th place, kicked kicked kicked kicked kicked kicked kicked kicked.

I have played support until I ran out of repair bits, I have played with a L air with stardust canon but it's slow and a target for every hopper in the game, I have played Frog Landers, I have played Winbell, I have played Sagitary Maxis and Destructor Girl. I have equipped burners and tried vines, I have tried machine guns and huge bazookas, all I end up with is dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.

I have broken every slot in my Frog Landers and in my Skultan (medium UC support). The only things I've ever successfully upgraded is a monocle and a bazooka for extra tech. I have almost no chips left for upgrades.

Hardly consistent? If I don't do anything stupid, I'm top 10 every game. Anyways, maybe you should consider stop playing Chibi bots. They're cute and all, but they're way too low tier to play in jpCB arenas. I've tried myself, they can't last in jbCB, period. In terms of cheap and efficient bots, just god damn use the Accel Saber-GP like me. They're 20k UC each in shop or you can build them with the parts you've collected in the UC garapon if you got them. Build two of them, give them dual handy bazooka, and fire away. I know you don't like messing with the bots, but just give each of them an extra head that gives tec or walk and they'll do fine. When they level, just give them blast guard, sword guard, shell guard (in that order), and/or capacity upgrades whenever you run low. Hell, even Minamitsu runs a Accel Saber, but unlike me, he doesn't care about appearance, and run around with x2 grenade head for some scary alpha strikes

Not really, though they tend to have more balanced stats so you need to customize to get full use from them.

Chloroform, if you still keep those beginning Star Coins, go buy two Slot Protector Omegas, use Packet to get some Cosmo Harmonics and start giving a fuckton of TEC to your robots. Tune-up parts are not an issue when you have UC Garapon, I've gotten about 200 of each tune-up item there. Alternatively if you have tickets, you can run Berzelius, but wait for me if you're going to do this, after about 60 tune-up tries I'm running a tad low on materials too.

Now that I'm a hexagon, I fear what will happen when the normal areas are no longer available to me. It will most assuredly not be fun, but I guess the only new thing will be the clown arms and more frequent Ivis.

I grinded for hours for the rank reward which was a lucky cube with a free robot in it and after hours of frustration and being kicked from every room and swearing and getting pissed beyond belief because 40% of both teams are hoppers and after going through ALL my ammo and never dying I could expect to have done 400 points of damage and ending up rank 14 I finally got my bot!

It's a bot available in the shop for 2400 UC, a tiny little support bot that comes with a mini repair bit as his standard bit.

Seriously, I'm finished with Japanese Cosmic Break. I'll play for my Rt next month and I don't think I'll ever play that piece of shit again. I don't know why I put up with it for so long. There is now no way to kill hoppers unless you have $100 to spend.

Looks like you need a robot with Broad Radar. Once you get it, you can ignore the hoppers and fly around all day hitting ARTs from the back with Izuna booster, doubly so in open stages like Green Field/Deep Forest/Glacier Night.

Besides, if you're AIR, you have no business getting hit by anything except railguns, Lily's skirt weapon and other AIR types with mini bazookas. Hoppers shouldn't be able to reach you.

Look, I've done everything, I don't want to go around hitting art in the back, and you're not going to do more than 600 damage in a game in Japan anyway unless you're willing to upgrade your tech ... oh wait, you can't because all your parts will break because you don't have money for slot protectors and if you die ONCE you're stuck in the bottom 5. Upgrading tech is hardly an option because I've spent all my UC exchanging for Rt and I'm broke and grinding your Mate for cosmo harmanics will take 2000 hours.

I want to kill HOPPERS, I don't want to kill large arts, I don't want to kill air. There's 2 air and 3 large arts on each side and you'll have to get past the 12 hoppers on either side to reach them.

Heavens, what sort of CB are you playing? Whenever I play, there are only 3-4 hoppers and they die rather fast. When I see them, I fly beyond their range and bombard them with wisps, which easily hit (though I don't like doing so without a shell supply because it wastes precious wisp ammo that could be used on stationary targets like the ARTs. ) Besides, hoppers almost always target the powerspot anyway, so you know where to stay away.

AIR units with mini bazookas or lasers is a much greater threat, and so are the ledge-hugging ARTs.
