Xi Gundam & Penelope - SD Gundam G Eternal Late November Update

Hello, Commanders! SD Gundam G Generation Eternal will receive a major update on November 30th, introducing two top-tier units from "Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway" - UR Xi Gundam (EX) and UR Penelope (EX) - to the battlefield.

As highly anticipated units in the series, their arrival is sure to reshape the current combat landscape. This article will provide a comprehensive overview of the update content and practical preparation strategies.

 

Update Overview

According to the latest official announcement, this update will officially launch on November 30th (Japan Time), primarily featuring two new UR units and their exclusive pilots.

Notably, this update closely follows the mid-November addition of the "Iron-Blooded Orphans Second Half" storyline, indicating a significantly accelerated pace in the developers' efforts to enrich game content.

 

New Unit Introductions

Xi Gundam (EX)

UR Xi Gundam (EX) is an Attacker-type unit whose core mechanics revolve around the MP system.

Its skill design allows it to exert maximum power while maintaining high MP values, particularly suited for players who favor one-hit knockout tactical styles.

Based on available information, Xi Gundam gains additional attack and defense bonuses against enemies tagged as the EFSF(U.C.)

This characteristic gives it significant strategic value in the current Master League environment, effectively countering common Defense-type units such as F91, Full Armor Gundam, and GP03.

 

Penelope (EX)

UR Penelope (EX), as a Durable-type unit, possesses a unique preemptive strike mechanism - it can retaliate with priority before receiving enemy attacks.

This ability excels not only in PVE but can also disrupt enemy offensive rhythms in PVP.

When Penelope is in Vigor max state, it also gains a Movement +1 boost, significantly enhancing the battlefield mobility of this heavy unit.

Combined with its EX skill's attack reduction effect, it can weaken enemies while counterattacking, creating advantages for subsequent battles.

 

Exclusive Pilot Skill Analysis

The two simultaneously updated UR pilots - Hathaway Noa and Lane Aim- also have distinctive characteristics.

Hathaway possesses Additional Action Times +1 and Self Awakening +25% abilities, highly compatible with Xi Gundam's MP requirements.

Lane features Self ATK +20% when countering skill, perfectly synergizing with Penelope's preemptive counter mechanism.

 

Complete Player Preparation Guide

Resource Reserve Recommendations

Facing the upcoming new units, rational resource planning is crucial.

It's recommended to sweep all HARD stages daily, especially UC series HARD stages, as the provided skill manuals relatively match the needs of the upcoming new units.

Regarding Enhancement Materials reserves, considering new unit upgrade requirements, it's advised to prepare at least 3000 gold enhancement materials and 8000 silver enhancement materials in advance.

Based on past experience, upgrading a new UR unit from level 1 to 100 consumes substantial resources. Preparing in advance enables immediate combat effectiveness formation.

AP and Capital Planning

Warship AP is fundamental for obtaining various materials. A small trick allows advance reserve: utilizing the Master League anomaly to complete one daily quest per day, enabling 3-4 days of advance Warship AP accumulation.

By the November 30th update day, expect to reserve 900+ AP, sufficient to meet various post-update resource demands.

Capital reserves are equally important. New unit upgrades and equipment enhancements require substantial Capitals. Avoid unnecessary development recently to ensure at least million-Capital reserves.

 

Pulling Strategy Analysis

According to official announcements, UR Xi Gundam (EX) and UR Penelope (EX) will simultaneously join the pulling pool.

If your squad lacks powerful Attacker-type units, Xi Gundam (EX) would be the better choice; if you need to enhance squad defense capabilities, Penelope (EX) is more suitable.

Considering that Christmas and year-end typically feature large-scale events, it's recommended to distribute diamonds rationally and avoid investing all resources into a single pulling pool.

The two new units featured in this pulling pool each have distinctive characteristics: Xi Gundam pushes Vigor Max burst damage to the extreme, while Penelope creates entirely new tactical value for Durable-type units. For players pursuing squad depth, the pulling value of Penelope and Xi Gundam requires comprehensive consideration based on existing resource reserves.

LDShop provides commanders with detailed SD Gundam game guides and favorable recharge services, hoping to assist everyone in making complete preparations as the update approaches, helping you build your ideal Gundam squad! Considering potential major updates for year-end Christmas events, be sure to plan resources rationally and invest wisely in pulling pools.
