Mechatalk Final Gear: Murasaki - Arcidia

 11th Final Gear Mechatalk and we are now moving onto yet another new Faction in Final Gear, Health & Happiness Mercenary Group represented by Murasaki. Arguably one of the best Defender Unit in the game if not for the glaring flaw of her kit. Don't be fooled with the weird base mecha design, Murasaki's Activated Unit is more than enough when it comes to imposing presence.

 Once a Student of Kegha's Imperial Academy with promising future but only yearn for uneventful peaceful life, Murasaki's life took a drastic turn after an encounter with Shyaditty, a Net Idol who is part of H&H Sisterhood that happens to be branded as a criminal with Kegha. With no possible way to return to her normal life, Murasaki thus requested to be inducted into H&H Sisterhood with Flavia, the Mercenary group leader who was once a Kegha Imperial Knights. From there on Murasaki joined the misadventures of a Mercenary group that has bunch of misfits as the members.

In Final Gear Murasaki is an SSR Defender Unit that has her unique mech obtainable through Parts Redeem, one of the more underutilized feature in the game. She pilots Arcidia, a jet black mech unit designed by her friend Karan which boast tremendous Defensive power along with its imposing stature. In terms of Aesthetics, Arcidia kinda resemble Giant Gorg slapped with 2 of those Binder Shields that Kshatriya had.

 In Murasaki's Mechatalk, I will use the opportunity to briefly discuss about Health & Happiness Sisterhood Faction that Murasaki belong to. Just like Paranoia Group, H&H Sisterhood is an all female mercenary group which had formidable individuals as part of its member, lead by former Kegha Knight Flavia. However each members of this Mercenary Group are kinda bunch of nutcases that some personality disorders for some reason with Flavia and Karan appear to be sanest members of the group.

With her Chuuni design of purple Hairstyle with Ahoge and Eyepatch, Murasaki obviously have some kind of disorder on her own, being obsessed with collecting Cute Girls Photos and even cosplaying as a maid herself. Murasaki also happens to be a big fan of Noctris, Hexel's Steel Witch herself and wants to see her in cute girl outfit. In terms of relationship with another H&H Sisterhood member, Murasaki is probably closest to Karan's the group Mechanic who was also her schoolmate before joining the mercenary life.

 Murasaki is one of the better Defender Units in Final Gear and had solid BP stats from the get go but she require more investment compared to Leangle who is relatively easier to raise since she require no UR. While Murasaki is more than capable to tank enemy attacks aside from Zero or Ruby, her main strength lies in her High Gear Special Power which will make her DPS Skyrockets if can be activated in time. So far, Murasaki is the only one that can provide Damage reflect buff for her party team members. While Evangelion Collab, Striker Rei is still the best for damage reflect category, Murasaki is the only one who can provide the party-wide effect. The only drawbacks of this ability is that it takes too much time to build up for the skill activation to be effective on PVP. Otherwise Murasaki would have dominated PVP scene, not Zero or Ruby only.

 Murasaki is the 3rd UR Unit that I upgraded after Coreleah and PN26. Her UR Skill only grants damage reduction for party member up to 20%. But this passive buff is more than enough in PVP Scene and can decide whether your Ruby or the Enemy's will survive if their Stats is equivalent. If only Final Gear have reliable Energy Charger unit that can make Murasaki Activate her skill faster than 30 minutes.

I think for Murasaki's Mechatalk, I will keep it more brief as I planned to discuss more about H&H Sisterhood in Snowy's Mechatalk which will happen in near future. Throughout my time in Final Gear, I only have witnessed 2 or 3 other players that have UR Murasaki and certainly this Purple Chunni Defender able to provide her worth in their time with PVP. For the next Final Gear Mechatalk, I will be planning for Ruby, the most Overpowered DPS unit in Final Gear.
