Analyze Generation 3 units in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Learn about their long-range role and specific armaments like Main Battery Heavy Railgun and Long-Range Missiles.

Armaments:

6 Multi-Launching Rapid Cannons

• Fires cannon shells in a forward-facing cone with small splash damage.
• Deals the most damage of any multi-bullet attack but fires the fewest shots.
• This is the only 0 EP (Energy Point) attack available to G3s.
• While it can damage small kaiju, it does not restore much EP and is not effective against medium or large kaiju.
• Not considered a worthwhile armament due to its limited effectiveness and low EP restoration.

Main Battery Heavy Railgun

• A long-range line attack that damages everything in its path, though it does not pierce armor.
• Deals high damage, capable of defeating up to medium-sized kaiju in one hit.
• Ideal for kaiju drops with numerous medium kaiju, as its wide area of effect can hit most of them.
• Primary tool for eliminating APSOS units.
• Utility decreases against armored medium kaiju.
• Miura and Minami start with this armament; Kisaragi should also acquire it.
• Miura should avoid enhancing this armament as he receives a better version.

Long-Range Missiles

• An area attack effective against small kaiju and somewhat useful against medium kaiju.
• Do not use on large or armored kaiju as it wastes EP.
• Enhancing this armament significantly increases its range and area of effect.
• Primary tool against swarms of small kaiju.
• Can handle large batteries of Twintails at range, though it may require multiple volleys or G3s working together.
• Its role has become somewhat outdated compared to newer unique armaments, lacking versatility.
• Kisaragi gets a better version that unlocks at +4 enhancement; she should not enhance past this level.
• Miura and Minami may consider higher enhancement levels if a long-range area attack is needed.

Stun Knuckles

• A short-range melee attack that hits in an arc, knocking back ground kaiju and applying the EMP effect.
• Only useful when a G3 is surrounded by kaiju, indicating the terminal is also threatened.
• Other abilities are generally better for escaping dire situations and are useful in other contexts.
• Not recommended.

EMP Stunner

• An attack centered on the G3 that deals very minimal damage (single digits) and applies EMP to all enemies in its radius.
• The low damage is insufficient to kill even small kaiju.
• Enhancements add significant range; at +8, the radius is comparable to the Phase Plasma EMP meta-skill.
• Does not apply taunt, which is beneficial as G3s should not be taunting enemies.
• Due to low damage, it is not a regular-use ability.
• Acts as an emergency button to stop all kaiju surrounding the terminal, covering a large radius.
