[Jotaku]

OVERVIEW
This build is strategically similar to the Pulverize build, but we are pursuing a Northern Knight build that is completely optimized for close combat. Also, the difference is that it is meant to take full advantage of Northern Knight's combo "Shielded Jumping Attack", rather than relying on magnificent HP to be strong at close range.

MECHA MASTERY
Expeditious Charge

SLOT VARIANTS

1. Gun Shield, Homing Missile may be replaced with your own choices.

USAGE

• Fire your secondary weapon whenever you think it may hit. The focus of this build is not on how to utilize secondary weapons.
  
• Find a place where you can hide yourself. The examples of this place can be a corner of a building, a hill, bus, etc. Use these environments to get closer to your enemies as safe as possible. You must be at least 50m closer to the enemy. Measure how far this is in your Training Area.
  
• It is important to keep your HP near full while safely getting close to your enemy. Use HP recovering items appropriately.
  
• It is also very important to quickly equip/unequip your shield in order to recharge shield HP in that mid range so that you can do it continuously.
  
• Never use charging skill for your main attacking purpose except very few cases. Use that mainly to run away (in order to make mid range) or get closer to make a combo (described below). This skill inflict very small damage anyways not worth as a primary damage source.
  
• Northern Knight Combo - When you finally got closer to your enemy and your shield is turned on, continuously jump and attack. In that way it will make your enemy harder to aim you plus you block any incoming damage even if their attacks somehow hit. You will need to focus on practicing hitting correctly while jumping and also on the ground after each jumpings done. You can use Shield Charge and Light Fan Throw while doing this. You can also start this combo by performing Shield Charge skill first.
  
• You can apply same shielded jumping attack strategy with Gun shield when you don't use mecha in close combat against other pilots, Iori is recommended for doing this.
  

COUNTERS

• Any mechas that are hard to get closer, like Hurricane.
