GBO2 Barzam Custom: A better Zero Shiki!?

- This video is a recent custom match I had with the Barzam Custom on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a general with great shooting damage and stuns albeit with a relatively slow downswing animation. My first life in the video could have gone better. The second life went pretty well considering we had an ally disconnect leaving us in 5v6. The third life is where things really picked up. I hope you can enjoy the video and see the versatility and great DPS that Barzam Custom offers.
Barzam Custom can choose either from the weapons of Gundam MKII or its own unique beam rifle. Its beam rifle has 1200 (2350) power, 0.6 seconds cooldown, 30% (80%) heat, 17 seconds overheat time, 0.77 seconds swap time, 350m (400m) range and 35% (65%) stagger value. This practically operates in the same way as the Zero Shiki beam rifle albeit with higher heat. You also gain the grenade launcher sub weapon while this is equipped.
The primary weapon of the Barzam Custom is a beam saber with 2200 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.77 seconds swap time and standard melee modifiers. It has fair power but this isn't going to be your main source of damage output. Beware that it has the same slow downswing animation of the original Barzam so you need to be closer than normal to confirm it.
The first sub weapon it has is the beam rifle attached grenade launcher with 1000 power, 4 ammo, 5 seconds cooldown, 16 seconds reload, 0.77 seconds swap time, 250m range and 45% stagger value. It instant staggers and has splash radius higher than most bazookas so it is very easy to use. The swap time is fast enough to be confirmed from a charged rifle shot as well.
Its second sub weapon is a vulcan pod with 90 power, 90 ammo, 13 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap time, 180m range, 900 DPS and 2% stagger value. The low staggering value makes this unusable for stunning enemies but the high DPS and high ammo count makes it incredible for keeping up damage while waiting for your beam rifle to cool off.
It also has a large shield with 3500 HP. This buffs walking and turning speed by 15% once broken which works out to about 143 walking speed.
The stats and skills of the Barzam Custom make it very well suited to close-mid range shooting. HP is average at 16000 but defences are a little higher than average with 21/21/18 spread. Shooting and melee correction is evenly split at 25/25 but despite this you should still be focusing on shooting in gameplay and in your build. Mobility seems mediocre at first with 125 walking speed, 210 boosting speed, 65 thrust and 63 turning. Its walking speed actually works out to being better than most suits thanks to the 95% strafing and 85% back walking modifier. This makes it very easy to go in and out of cover when shooting while avoiding being shot much in return. Skills are standard for a 500 cost general with LV1 Forced Injector, LV1 Melee Combo Controller and LV2 Flight Controller among others. Where it stands out in terms of skills is having two dodge rolls. This makes close combat pretty easy since you get two chances when dodging.
Overall I would have to say that the Barzam Custom is pretty strong and not that difficult to pick up either. It practically plays like an improved Alex or Zero Shiki but with the added benefit of an instant stun grenade launcher to not suffer in close combat. The main skill requirement with this suit is being able to hit beam rifle shots on moving targets. Starting with the grenade launcher and then comboing into the rifle can make this easier though. Your DPS will never let up if you alternate between beam rifle and vulcans to let the rifle cool off as needed. It is currently gacha exclusive but if you have it then I would definitely recommend you try it.

Now this suit brings pleasant thoughts to mind. In my opinion it's a better Gundam MKII as it can evade twice, has the same vulcans as the MKII and its rifle can be fired as-is for consistent damage or charged to stagger. Definitely one of my personal favorite 500 cost MS.
Makes me wish they would give MKII some love as well. Barzam Custom is really fun though and I gotta play it more.
Barzam Custom is one of my favorite suits. It really is underrated
It's still very solid at lvl 2! Got this on a random supply drop thinking it wasn't worth my time but hot damn it was a good MS!
I never thought of comparing the two, but they're both shooty generals in the same range. Personally, I'd give the edge to the Barzam Custom - more reliable stuns, and brutal vulcans. I think it's a really under-rated unit.
Love those vulcans hate that backwards shark fin XD.
I think Barzam Kai just edges out the Zero Shiki because it has more instant stuns with the 4 grenades in its launcher, but Zero Shiki can definitely break legs quickly with it’s rifle.
Love this suit. A perfectly balanced general
The versatility is definitely a strong point. It basically has a bazooka sub weapon with fast cooldown and swap time. This way it isn't disadvantaged like most shooting MS when they get close.
this is my go to suit for 500, I'm pretty sure it's outclassed at this point, but I think it still gets the job done
This suit is just solid all around. I'm honestly surprised by how little I see these things in sorties. I guess the downswing is a big turn-off for players who tend to stick with suits with the generic Federation melee pattern (but then again the Hazel exists). Great gameplay as usual, keep it up! :)
Thanks for watching!
The downswing being slow kinda sucks but its not so slow that you can't confirm stun into downswing. I guess people don't like MS which have an aiming requirement with shooting uncharged rifle shots.
i usually just go straight to downswing after i stun
I think there's just nothing remarkable about it, so no one picks it. I, however, love it.
Oh hey that's me :). GG's on those custom matches they were really fun. Felt bad for the enemy team when we got to 550 arctic base lol
Yeah those customs went on for a long while. They were fun so GGs.
Titans are power! Nice video.
nice opinions for my favorite dueling suit
Hoping I can get this beauty along with the hazel custom soon
This is my main used suit. We are the Barzam corps!
I was in this stream lmao, was just watching Avenger mop the team pretty nicely, sad I couldn't join to play with you man :/ I hope the stream went well
Dude You went newtype on them Man Dang XD
How do you build for this? I have both levels but the numbers on the defenses always feel kind of low since it also needs a decent amount of boost and some ranged modifiers to keep that DPS up. I've been sitting on them for a while, and even have the lvl1 with the first four enhancements, but the Zero Shiki has still felt stronger to play for me, at least at 550.
Cruise control, thrust, range mod and I think I had a little in melee resist as filler. Its kinda similar to playing a squishy shooter like Alex, except you are a little more bulky with 16k HP.
Comparing the beam rifles side by side, they are really similar apart from Barzam Custom having 30% heat and Zero Shiki having 20%. It is a pretty big difference but I think the barzam makes up for it with the vulcans and grenade launcher.
Hi, Do you think, Barzam Custom and Hazel Custom, which ms is stronger?
I don't think one is stronger than the other. They are both strong. The choice depends on your personal preference since Hazel Custom is melee focused and Barzam Custom is more shooting focused.
@@avenger1_gbo260 OK, Thank you so much :)
Hazel might also be easier to pick up since it feels more forgiving. It has Maneuver Armor Lvl 1 which can help a lot. It's weapons are also very simple too and has access to MKii's Bazooka.
I didn't understand why one ally disconnected. You guys were winning!
Probably internet issues or something
Shame that this unit get outclass by Xeku when they face each other.
Wait......Xeku.....Zaku?
@@NwaaNwaa No, the Xeku. It's a unit from Sentinel Gundam manga - there's three variants of it.
@@stompyrobotguy4376 I know....I was just saying xeku name sound like zaku
You're fucking joking right? You have to be joking if you think Barzam Custom is inferior to the Xeku Type 3...
@@WatcherMovie008 Barzam custom face against Xeku in sentinel, and lost.
