To adapt to the Day 78 update in SD Gundam G Generation ETERNAL, add a dedicated frontline tank to your squad and clear every normal-difficulty History Event Story node before spending stamina on farming nodes.
The update adjusts base defensive stat calculations and damage mitigation modifiers. Dedicated defensive units now take reduced chip damage from normal and beam-attribute attacks, giving support units adequate time to sustain your frontline through multi-wave stages.
How to Position and Deploy Revamped Tanks
Enemies evaluate targets using proximity and active defensive parameters. You can reliably prevent enemy mobile suits from targeting your squishier backline units by establishing a vanguard perimeter on turn one.
Execute the following deployment and positioning steps in combat:
- Deploy at the vanguard edge: Place your tank mobile suit at the leading edge of your deployment formation so it can step forward immediately.
- Take the chokepoint: Move the tank directly into enemy movement lanes on turn one to force AI pathing into your defensive zone.
- Stage damage dealers behind the line: Position your secondary damage dealers two to three tiles behind the tank. This preserves line-of-sight while keeping them out of enemy area-of-effect ranges and counter-attacks.
- Hold offensive pushes: Do not move offensive units past the tank's forward perimeter until the enemy's intercept reactions have triggered.
- Preempt enemy phases: Activate defensive skills immediately before dense enemy phases to mitigate incoming damage spikes.
Building Your Defensive Anchor
Do not divide your enhancement resources across multiple defensive units. Pick one primary mobile suit with high base armor and native defensive tags, then concentrate your enhancement data chips to hit survivability thresholds.
- Assign the right pilot: Pair your tank with a pilot who has high defense and reaction stats alongside defensive passives. These traits multiply the value of the updated base damage reduction.
- Support the frontline: Use repair and support units to keep the tank's armor intact over long battles, replacing older configurations that relied purely on five-unit glass-cannon squads.
History Event Story Progression and Farming
History Event Story stages feature curated enemy waves and restricted deployment requirements. Clear the entire narrative path on normal difficulty first to claim first-clear currency and unlock the full stage tree. Once unlocked, allocate your daily stamina to repeatable farming nodes or challenge stages based on your current roster needs.
| Stage Category | Stamina Consumption | Primary Objectives | Recommended Squad Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Story Narrative | Low to Moderate | Scenario completion and dialogue milestones | Mixed narrative rosters and leveling units |
| Challenge Nodes | Moderate | Turn-limit clears and minimal casualties | Balanced squad with a dedicated tank anchor |
| Repeatable Farming | Moderate to High | Pilot manuals, modification data, and regional parts | High-efficiency auto-clear burst squads |
After securing the initial clear rewards across all narrative nodes, direct your daily event stamina toward farming nodes that offer active bonus drops or the specific pilot training materials required for your active squad.
