Gigus Mecha Review By Brian D. Wise#17026

One of the coolest looking mechs to ever land in my team. It is one of the best support mechs for your line that you might not have thought about purchasing. Lets give a detailed overview. Unlike my last review where we looked at the lifecycle of the oggun, this mech is only purchasable after you reach level 50 (it is attainable in raids and well worth getting early on) so we are going to first compare this to the two lesser niode mechs who are similar, the cindron and inferno.

Between the cindron and the inferno, the cindron is the better fire mech damage boost wise as well as it has the less amount of penalties to the inferno. The Inferno however is better all the way around compared to the cindron with more equipment slots, 2x and 3x damage and more weapon slots. compared to both mechs, the gigus has less of a boost to fire damage than either, however it does get a boost to missiles weapons as well as a good boost to splash and trample.

The gigus is the first 80 ton mech you are able to get a hold of. Because of its higher tonnage it has a limited amount of equipment it could access. The equipment it does have access to does benefit it well. the most important thing to note is the 6 chassis slots, this means it can potentially get to over 100 points of dodge. With an exceptionally high dodge it can avoid more attacks and potential deal more damage with splash and trample damage. Its weaknesses are its slow speed which it must rely on its 4 engines to bring its speed up, as well as its 3 shield slots which limits if it does get hit it is more than likely to take significant damage, luckily it can mitigate these some by its natural shields.

The gigus is a great mech to help support your team, remember that its strengths lie in its high potential for dodge as well as its abilities to deal damage all around with splash and trample. So go enjoy this sweet looking beast mecha.
