Finally, the unit we’ve most wanted to see in Gundam Extreme Versus Full Boost has been revealed. The mighty MS-08TX (EXAM) Efreet Kai from the pretty damn fantastic Blue Destiny games on the Saturn will be added to the game on June 26th. To be fair, this mobile suit was telegraphed a while back in a “blink and you’ll miss it” segment of the game’s first promo. Much like the RX-79BD-1 GM Blue Destiny Unit 1 in Full Boost, the Efreet Kai is very much based around melee combat and it also only costs 1000 points to use (half that of the Blue Destiny GM). Anyway, we’re just glad the Efreet Kai has finally made it into the game.

Effreets were always nasty fighters , an Effreet on EXAM system is the Fed’s worst nightmare ….
I’m pleasantly surprised by the 1k status of the unit. It looks potent enough in melee to be useful, but I imagine it doesn’t do well in any other kind of combat. 1k’s tend to be support, and Efreet Custom is not what I think of as support.
All well, just glad to have more interesting 1k units.
Hopefully it’ll be a unit that is excellent for its cost, much like Aegis and Duel AS in Next Plus.
