Profile

Breezy Playboy

Shu Amiguchi is an easygoing late-80s high-school playboy, quick to make friends and quick to flirt. He is a student attending Sakura High School. Due to being born into a wealthy family, and also because of his knack for sports and sociable (albeit frivolous) personality, he is popular at school. Despite this, he actually finds his daily life rather boring. Tries not to take life too seriously, whether it's on his side or not. But when his TV turns on by itself, and an idol starts talking to him through it, begging for his help in unraveling a mystery... he rolls with it as best he can.

Time to put on a show for Yuki-chan!

Amiguchi awaiting orders

Amiguchi is the pilot of Sentinel No. 20, a flying 4th Generation model built for speed and versatility. Despite his looks and lackadaisical attitude, he is a straightforward pilot who can handle most situations he's thrown into. He thrives under stress, pushing himself to the limit when surrounded by kaiju, utilizing different weapons, and being helpful in a pinch with his healing and shielding abilities. What makes him unique among the other 4th Generation pilots is a weapon called Floating Mine. It is one of the only few attacks in the game where a pilot can attack and move at the same. This enables him to get in, get out, and provide anti-air support as well ensnaring and damaging kaiju. Should his Sentinel fall in battle, Amiguchi can commandeer a motorcycle and escape to safety. He's even fast enough to outrun homing missiles!

Compared to his 4th Generation comrades, he's the frailest of them all while having very similar stats to Megumi Yakushiji. A low HP pool but above average Accuracy makes him somewhat of a glass cannon, killing enemies before they get to him through critical hits. Where Amiguchi truly shines is when paired with Yuki Takamiya or being deployed on a sortie full of female pilots. With Yuki at his side, he is stronger and more mindful. Being in the thick of things with her increases his evasiveness as well as his proficiency with his weapons. His support weapons such as Shield Emitter and Shield Repair complements the more reckless fighting style of Yuki.

Most of his attack power comes from being with Yuki and juggling different weapons so it might take some finesse and timing to get the most out of him. His low HP pool makes him more susceptible to one shot kills and getting swarmed if an enemy EMP disables his flight systems.
