Lightning Can Strike Twice (DWG3 DLC Allelujah Haptism/GN-007 ARIOS)

It's Gundam time again, and this week marks the release of the third OO DLC character, Celesital Beings resident schizophrenic Allehujah Haptism. Of course he comes with his season 2 mech, GN-007 Arios. Too bad Soma isn't tagging along in the GNR-101, but Arios is still a power addition to the Gundam force.

Just like in the series, Arios is very quick. It is as quick as Cherudim, but a bit more beam saber heavy in his attacks. Its build is actually very similar to Reborns but with more powerful special equipment (Original Solar Furnace = Raiser System), better combo attacks and a cooler paint job.

Arios can also transform into in Archer Form, or aerial form, which greatly increases the efficency of booster output. Certain combos also utilize this form to deal extra hits and charging attacks using its GN Shield pincers.



Just on note on the pilot Allehujah: is anyone else weirded out by his name? When I was originally watching he series I thought it was a translation error, with the subbers mistaking the "B" for a soft "H." Now, I'm remembered how much that name bothers me nearly every day. Really Sunrise? Y u do dis?

Anyway, the DLC follows the same mech/meister/mission formula that the other DLC packs established and is worth the purchase in my mind, especially if you are a OO fan.
