Mechatalk Final Gear: Compendium - UR Edition

Final Gear might have officially concluded its service with the Global Server has closed down and so does the Mechatalk series for this game. Overall over past 2.5 Years it is still a pleasant journey with this game despite Final Gear never reached the peak of its potential that rightfully theirs and I am actually grateful that the Global Server is willing to endure for another 10 Months after concluding its update which is rather unheard of for unprofitable Gacha Game. As a Last Encore for the Final Gear Mechatalk series, I present you the last of Final Gear Mechatalk Compendium! which is no other than the UR Edition!

In this article you will get to see the list of all available Final Gear units that have UR Upgrade in Global Server  including the link to the Mechatalk Article if there were any previously and it will be sorted according to the numerical order in game. Overall there are 30 Mecha Units that obtained the UR Upgrade in Final Gear during the lifetime of the Global Server. The CN server probably got one or two more UR Upgrades including Trida but the Devs decided to hang the towel before the update ever reached Global Server. Throughout the lifetime of Final Gear Global Server, I managed to upgrade 15 Units to their UR Version which account for half of the available option. It is truly one of my proud achievement because it is not exactly an easy task despite the weekly handouts after the game went into maintenance mode.

Out of the 30 Available UR Units in Final Gear, apart from the 15 UR Units that I actually obtained which will have [UR] tag  in the list, there are another 8 Units belong to this list that had the Mechatalk Article made for despite I was unable to obtain their UR Upgrade, yet I did briefly discuss their UR Skills briefly in their respective article. This mean only 7 Units that doesn't have dedicated mechatalk article which is pretty good result from this whole Final Gear Mechatalk run while it lasted I would say. If Final Gear had lasted abit longer, there are around 4 Units which I planned to bestow UR Upgrade to them which are Favia, Flavia, Jasmine and Margaret. In any case, Hopefully this culmination of small efforts from a dedicated Final Gear fan could help the series revival in some way.

Mechatalk Final Gear: Compendium - Striker Class

  Things have finally come to a full circle at last for Final Gear Compendium and personally I am very glad to finish this mini series that started on early this year as the finishing touch for Final Gear Mechatalk series. I am not sure if Final Gear will have much time left to survive given they kinda did a decent job for surviving so long in Maintenance mode letting players sample most of the content that Final Gear could offer even though the URs are closed off permanently. Without much further ado, Realm of Darkness present the last of Final Gear Compendium series for the Striker Class.

 Mecha Games will never be complete without glorious melee fight and Final Gear had plenty of selections of Melee Fighter classified into Striker Class which had the biggest roster among Final Gear 6 Classes. Whether you want your mecha come with blades or fist or maybe Samurai Themed, Final Gear Striker class got you covered! The only thing that Final Gear melee mechas lacks are Polearms which Defender class even have barely any but perhaps it could be addressed in the future iterations. 

Personally Striker Class is probably my second most neglected Class in my roster since I didn't get to access the best units in the category until the final patch and even then I still lack resources for them. But at very least I was still able to have Aya Kujou in her UR form to represent the best in this category from my roster. As a parting word for this Compendium series, I will make the masterlist for Final Gear Mechatalk someday and I hope there is still an opportunity for Final Gear in the future.

Mechatalk Final Gear: Compendium - Bomber Class

 

 5th Final Gear Compendium and one more to go! Before having we will have the biggest Compendium as the last one because I prefer to save the best for the last, we will pay a visit on the Bomber class first! Overall Bomber class played a far ranged support unit that rains down projectiles in an arc that dealt AOE damage which are good at clearing out enemies in tight formation. Just like Demolisher class, Bombers are divided into 2 Subclass that served either as dedicated support or Pure DPS that rains down death with impunity.

 Considering its Heavy armor status, Bomber Class had some of the most bulky mecha design that can rival Defender Class and arguably have some odistinct mechas like Elizabeth's Floating Ship. Surprisingly the Bomber Class Unique mechs are dominated by Hexel Faction with Arita and Non Aligned faction coming slightly behind while Kegha ironically had none due to their emphasis on melee units. Unfortunately among 6 Classes, Bombers are the one that I neglected the most since I never had Morgan when Final Gear still getting updates and my Demolisher Class units can perform way better on anything that my Bomber Class roster could offer. It is only until Maintenance mode that I was able to raise some of them with Patricia being my current last UR which definitely worth it.

Mechatalk Final Gear: Compendium - Sniper Class

4th Final Gear Compendium is here and we only have 2 more to go! It has been around 6 months I have kept the Final Gear Mechatalk going on consistent pace and the magnitude for this particular article series bear its result quite nicely. The 4th Final Gear Mechatalk Compendium will be assigned for the Sniper Class units! One of the two Pilot classes in Final Gear that can bring death from afar!

Being on the lighter side of the Long ranged unit, Sniper Class serve either as Pure DPS that can wreck multiple enemies in a straight line or Semi DPS that can cripple enemy with their Debuffs, in fact the best Stunlock unit in Final Gear belong to Sniper Class! However my best unit from this particular class happen to be Healer Semi DPS that can put up serious DPS which is no other than Arlen with her Ode to Joy!

In terms of overall Aesthetics, Final Sniper Class is probably considered to be the edgiest one since this particular class has plenty of Mechas with sinister designs ranging from Baroque Demons to Aliens. However I still quite like the futuristic mecha design that this particular class had whether it is Lilian's UR Mech, Megaera's Whale Leader or Mirabelle's NF-X

Mechatalk Final Gear: Compendium - Demolisher Class

 Third Final Gear Compendium Mechatalk and we are already halfway through this series! As always I spent some of my effort to create this post to give the opportunity for people to take a glimpse on Final Gear mech units that I am unable to provide dedicated mechatalk article whether due to lack of time or material to work them on. This time It is the the versatile Demolisher class that will take turn for the 3rd Final Gear Compendium.

In Final Gear, Demolisher Class is one of the more versatile class among 6 Classes that can serve either as DPS unit or Dedicated Support which some of the best DPS buffer or Healer belong to this class. My Strongest Demolisher Unit is no other than Noctris which is still my personal favorite UR Waifu up until now in Final Gear. Overall in terms of Roster, Demolisher Class had a robust selections of Unique mecha and one of the more notable trait from this particular class is that the Waifu pilots belong to Demolisher Class tend to be more cheerful. Perhaps this is due they have the pleasure of having the option to blow the enemy units into smitherens or literally disintegrate anyone foolish enough with Giant Laser beams if it is Noctris.

Mechatalk Final Gear: Compendium - Shooter Class

 The Second out of 6 Final Gear Compendium mechatalk series is here! The reigning Meta class of Final Gear; The Shooter Class surprisingly able to make it earlier than others. Divided into 2 Subclasses of Light and Heavy variant, The Shooter class reigns supreme when it comes to DPS as some of the hardest hitting Waifu pilots belong to this class so don't be fooled with their lower BP scores!

As always, This Final Gear Compendium Mechatalk series will list all non-crossover Unique mechs belong to the shooter class starting from the highest  BP Score. Surprisingly the Unique Shooter class units are not as many as I thought initially despite their influence in Final Gear but they still have wide range of aesthetics in terms of mech design second only to Striker class. Whether you prefer classic Shooter mech that shoots out inefficient amount of Dakka or Futuristic Robot that spews out Death Rays, Final Gear's Shooter class got you covered. If time allows it, probably there will be some full Mechatalk article dedicated for members belonging to this shooter class with Haela and Ariel being the Prime Candidate at some point. With the Shooter Class compendium done, 4 more Final Gear Compendium articles left to go and lets hope Final Gear Global able to survive by then.

Mechatalk Final Gear: Compendium - Defender Class


 Another Side project of mine for Final Gear before the game inevitably close its server. Considering I am probably unable to cover all of the Unique mechs through the Final Gear mechatalk series due to combination of several reasons including Time constraints and Personal Interest, I might as well make a compilation of the unique mechs sorted by the 6 Job classes starting with Defender Class! This series will only include Final Gear Non-Crossover Unique mechs as part of the rosters sorted by BPs starting from the highest to the lowest. I will also include links for the Mechatalk Article if the Units happen to have one written in this blog before or background profile for the ones that didn't have one.

In Final Gear Defender class is probably the one that had the least share of Unique mechs in the roster but very essential in the party if you seek to compete in Top BP Leaderboards due to the innate high BP Multiplier. Metawise, Defender Class units are very useless in terms of DPS and only serve as Tarpits in PVP which will be easily mowed down by Ruby and Zero. However without any high performing DPS, you won't expect to break free out of these Defenders encirclement.

My main reason of creating this Compendium series is to make people have easier time to navigate the existing Final Gear Mechatalk series and I pick Defender Class as the first due to higher proportion of Mechatalk been done for this particular class and my favorite waifu in Final Gear also happen to belong in this class too.
