Gouf

The Gouf is a Close-Combat Type with very deadly melee capabilities. It tears EFF MS apart using it's brutal combination of Heat Rod stunning and three hit melee combos, making it a key unit to supporting it's friendly ZEON MS by stunning EFF MS. It's Finger Vulcans are also decent at dealing damage to EFF MS but is rather lacking the ammo to deal a considerate amount of damage with it. The Zaku II FS is foreshadowed once a Gouf shows up in a room.

In game, a Gouf should focus on using the heat sword. Finger Vulcans are good for finishing low health enemy MS and pilots but little more. The heat rod should be used very sparingly as it locks the user in place and it is almost impossible to hit a moving target with it. The heat rod may however turn a simple stun from a rocket or cannon shot into a very vulnerable target as the stun from a heat rod cripples the targets head and locks them in place for a few seconds. But again, the heat sword is what makes the Gouf shine as it has the greatest reach of the early-game Zeon melee MS.

Tips and Strategies

 * As a Gouf Player, Your best friend here is your Heat Rod. It is a weapon capable of stunning EFF MS for a longer period of time than a sniper shot or bazooka shot. You should always use your Heat Rod when the enemy MS is not aware of you or is busy meleeing your ally so that the enemy is stunned while your allies either escape from death a bit longer or focus their fire onto the stunned enemy.
 * Should you face a Gouf as an EFF Player, you should be aware that their Heat Rod is mainly going to be the first thing a Gouf uses in order to stunlock you into their melee combo. Stay out of their melee range and be sure you have a bazooka in hand. In case you are not equiped with a bazooka, be ready to tackle their melee when a Gouf closes in on you in order to slam the Gouf into the ground or aleast stun it so you can flee to your other EFF teammates. You should also keep an eye on your support type MS Allies as it will be one of the Gouf's Top Targets to use their Heat Rod on, along with lone MS and any EFF MS meleeing their own teammates.
