Introduction

F91 is an all-purpose support suit. It's easy to understand and overall is honestly a very good suit for learning the game and/or the support role. Both its ranged and melee are solid, but neither are really stand-out. The positive attributes of the suit are that it has very good ammo stocks and reload rates/options, and it is also very lightweight and mobile. IT's buffed CSa is now a good source for Downing an opponent, and its Sub is an excellent Down tool. Activating MEPE only raises all of these attributes and allows you to push forward a little more aggressively.

The downside of the suit is that it has the lowest health pool in its class, and so its very easy to overcost your front guard partner if you are not careful with your health conservation or get caught isolated. Also, while its ranged options are plentiful they are not particularly powerful, excluding Sub.

Ranged Moveset Details

[Main] Beam Rifle

Cost-standard properties across the board BR. Can shoot while moving. Mix with CSa and Sub to extend ammo pool and availability.

[CSa] Beam Launcher (BL)

Extremely useful armament as it allows you to Down enemies, generally barrage the battlefield, and to conserve and extend BR ammo. Carries pre-attack momentum. Muzzle correction is taken from the first shot and applied to the two that follow it, making it most effective at mid-range. If you are more close range you want to combine it with a fuwastep. Good proration rate that when combined with Sub can put out ~200 damage.

The one drawback you want to keep in mind about it is the small amount of vernier it costs. Even a small amount, when facing down a 3k enemy you're putting yourself at an even greater boost disadvantage than you started at.

[CSb] Shield Throw

F91 tosses its beam shield off to the right where it floats and slowly moves, attracting enemy assists to shoot it instead (dummy balloon armament), exploding (30 damage, -10% proration) on hit. Because both the number of suits with assists and the frequency of use of assists (for amekyan, etc) has increased in the game, the worth of this and other dummy balloon type attacks has also risen. If you are the rear support (your typical role) there's no real penalty for tossing these around the field. Can be rainbow stepped.

[Sub] VSBR

• 5Sub

...

• 4/6Sub

[AC] Vigna Ghina Assist

Calls Cecily in her Vigna Ghina to support, appearing and doing a barrel roll while firing 3 BR shots. The muzzle correction re-adjusts for each shot, but because it's a quick, rapid fire attack this doesn't really add much benefit to its overall tracking, as an enemy can just side step after the second or even last shot has been fired. Carries pre-attack momentum and can also be called while sliding following a step cancel. If you are in a situation where you are fleeing a high cost suit - and especially if near over heat - you want to preemptively use this assist and combine it with a landing shield.

It has two glaring drawbacks though compared to other assists: 1) it cannot be [A]-canceled for a freefall amekyan. 2) it only reloads by EX. Therefore, its vitally important that you think carefully about how you decide to use this tool.

[BC] Metal Peel-Off Effect (MEPE)

Activates F91's MEPE feature, which reloads and increases your VSBR ammo (and also makes it do more damage) and constantly cuts tracking while in operation (like WZTV's Zero System). It also gives you an increase in mobility, but doesn't change your number of boost dashes or boost consumption amount. You can cancel the camera change by pressing 2[BC].

Some warnings: 1) if you are hit while in MEPE you will take 1.5x damage and knocking you out of MEPE. The gauge will pause at the number it was at when you were hit and will begin rebuilding from there after a 4s cooldown. 2) any stiffness you incur from an attack will stop the guidance-cutting effect until the stiffness has worn off.

For more refer to the later info section on MEPE.

BD Melee - Bug Cutter

Taking its name from the attack Seabook used to mow through the swarm of Bugs attacking the colony in the F91 movie, F91 takes a beam saber in each hand and spins them rapidly, similar to helicopter blades, along its left and right sides:

EX Burst Attack

Full Arms Barrage

264/241

Ranged attack in which F91 attacks with all of its primary armaments while very quickly darting left and right with afterimages.

EX Attack Details

Cuts tracking, has great speed and motion, and allows some amount of variable direction input. It also has Super Armor until the first shot is fired. If you plan to use the attack following melee you want to aim for a combo down value of 2.0 before using the attack to get the most out of it due to each shot having its own amount of Down as well.
