    This New Unit Featured Unit Assembly feels a bit \u201cflat\u201d overall. The New Year banners already dropped the flashy stuff, so the follow-up naturally comes off as less exciting.
    On top of that, there are no limited units here, which makes it harder to justify going all-in with your diamonds. For me, the lineup is simply \u201cokay\u201d\u2014nothing that instantly screams must-pull.
    That said, this banner still has a clear hook. Big-Rang (EX) brings a MAP Weapon that heals the team, which is a role we haven\u2019t really had much of in the UR lineup so far.
    On the support side, Rustal Elion & Skipjack-class Warship directly boosts the \u201cAce Unit\u201d tag. Since Ace Unit is usually attached to the main or standout units of each series, it\u2019s generally easy to meet the tag requirements\u2014and you\u2019ll likely get practical value out of it more often than you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now, let\u2019s break down what this banner includes.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1. Big-Rang (EX) & Oliver May<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Big-Rang (EX) comes with a team-healing MAP Weapon, and Oliver May pushes that healing performance even further. That alone gives Big-Rang a stronger identity than most units in this banner.
    In the current meta, though, I don\u2019t feel MAP healing is mandatory yet. We already have healing options through supporter skills, even if they\u2019re typically limited to a single use per battle.
    For me, that\u2019s still enough for most content right now. So Big-Rang stands out more as a new tool than an immediate \u201cyou need this to climb\u201d unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Gundam Kimaris Vidar (EX) & Gaelio Bauduin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This pair plays as a Durability<\/strong> unit with 3\u20135 range<\/strong>, plus debuffs that reduce enemy attack power. It also gains an ATK boost when HP drops below 50%<\/strong>, which sounds solid on paper\u2014because for Durability units, half HP can still mean you\u2019re in a relatively safe zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The issue is that in PvP, many Durability units simply don\u2019t last long when they get opened on<\/strong>. A heavy hit can swing the whole fight, and sometimes your debuffs or ATK boost don\u2019t get a chance to matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a result, Kimaris Vidar (EX) feels like a nice-to-have<\/strong>, not a must-have<\/strong>, especially when there are plenty of other units that can fill a similar role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Rustal Elion & Skipjack-class Warship<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The main value here is the direct stat boost for the \u201cAce Unit\u201d<\/strong> tag. Since Ace Units are often the protagonist or flagship suits<\/strong> of each series\u2014the ones people naturally build around anyway\u2014this supporter is easier to slot in than it might look at first glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And you\u2019ll likely get consistent mileage out of it. As for the EN recovery<\/strong>, it\u2019s a very common effect across many supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So the real reason to consider Rustal is the Ace Unit boost<\/strong>, not the EN restore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
