4. Kitakami (World of Warships)

Kitakami is a Kuma-class Cruiser (a Tier IV ship) packing enough torpedo launchers to sink Tier X Battleships. I remember Kitakami being beta tested some time in 2015, but was swiftly removed because she's a one-trick pony and her playstyle promoted tons of teamkilling. Apparently Wargaming floated the idea to add her back into the game throughout the years (the ship is a meme in historical warship community, helped by the popularity of her Kantai Collection counterpart), but never seem to find a way to balance gameplay and historicity. She was finally added back in December 2023 and explicitly marketed towards experienced players/collectors.

Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.

5. Mameluke (Age of Empires II)

Said unit has had practically every armor class in the game at some point.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

8. Nightingale (Gundam Battle Operation 2)

The single biggest playable mobile suit, with durability to match, insane melee damage and reach, and surprisingly decent agility (which gets even higher when Psychoframe Resonance activates). All of these are only impressive on paper because it's so damn big. In a game where 90% of weapons causes stagger on hit, the Nightingale sorely lacks stagger resistance-skills, meaning it'll get trapped in a Cycle of Hurting long before it gets to melee range. Shooting back isn't really an option, either, since all of its ranged weapons are mediocre compared to its peers. The Sazabi (which is essentially the alternate universe equivalent of the Nightingale) is only half as big yet has all the defensive skills the Nightingale needs. Buffing its melee damage probably won't help since it's already a close-combat monster. Making it faster won't work either because it'll still take hits. Adding said anti-stagger skill risks making a Juggernaut of this suit, though admittedly the metagame for its cost range is already full of game breakers keeping check on each other's brokeness.

Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
