■Basic
■Lesson 1: Your advantage and disadvantage
Every type of MS will good at counter a type and weak at another.
You will deal more damage to enemies and take less damage if yours is countering them.
On the other hand, if your opponent is countering your unit type, you are in a big trouble.
Identify your enemies by their looks and damage amount, and push when you have advantage and run away from those you are disadvantage.

■Lesson 2: Safety in numbers
"War is not only about quality but quantity", so always advance with your teammate.
Never go your own, wipe out those cut off from the group one by one. If you can do this, you are close to victory.


■Advance

Every MS have different MS skills and these skills will bring you different benefit.
Each unit have their own spec and unique movement pattern depends on their skills.

■Lesson 2: Make good use to the hotkeys of your weapons(shortcut)
" ・When using keyboard
[Mouse wheel↓] or [alt] to switch to the next weapon
[alt] (holding) to show ""shortcut panel""
[1/2/3[mouse wheel ↑]/4/5/6/7/8] to switch to weapon you had set
・When using console controller
[RB] to switch to the next weapon
[RB] (holding) to show [shortcut panel]
[RB] and [A/B/X/Y/BY/BA/XA/XY] to switch to weapon you had set
(Number key and [A/B/X/Y/BY/BA/XA/XY] can be set for any weapons as you like.)"
Weapon switching will always affect you in the live and dead situation in MS battle.
You may learn your own switching pattern in free practice and training mode.

■Master
■"Stagger" and "Down"
MS will get "stagger" when continue getting hit by enemy.
MS cannot move when they are "stagger" so you will have chance to hit them even harder at the moment.
Every weapon have their own "Stagger Accumulation Value", which means each weapon will cost different attacks to make your opponent to stagger.
Second, MS will be "down" when they are hit by some kinds of attack.
MS will take much time to recover from "down" than "stagger", which means more vulnerable.

Bazooka or support type weapons only take one hit to "stagger", but machine guns and beam rifle will take more times.
"Down" is mainly caused by melee attack.
Hope this will help you to enjoy GBO2!
