Xiao Ran looked at the Crimson Forbidden lying before him, surrounded by a cluster of Technicians and maintenance personnel, with all kinds of equipment and cables connected to it. After hearing Symonds, he glanced at her and nodded slightly. Although piloting the Midnight Gundam this time had indeed brought out the mecha's intended performance, Xiao Ran still felt there were many restrictions while operating it, and he was not entirely accustomed to it.
Although the mecha's Yasakani no Magatama Armor could render it immune to Beam Attacks, greatly enhancing its defenses against them to a certain extent, that capability came at the cost of its defense against ballistic attacks. For now, though, aside from being somewhat helpless against Ballistic Weapons, the Yasakani no Magatama Armor did not have much of an impact.
Yet at the instant the Yasakani no Magatama Armor absorbed and reflected a Beam Attack, Xiao Ran could sense that, during that brief moment, the mecha itself lost many possible actions. It could not launch an attack with its own weapons while reflecting the beam. There were many reasons for this, but the most crucial was the stiffness caused by the Yasakani no Magatama Armor's Energy Absorption after being struck.
While absorbing energy, the mecha itself would also be restrained by the force field generated by the Beam Attack. If it was an ordinary MS Beam Attack, the restraint imposed by that force field had very little effect on the mecha itself. But if it were replaced with the high-output attacks of a battleship, then even if the Midnight Gundam could block and reflect it, it would still be trapped in place by the powerful energy field and find it difficult to move. If it suffered a physical attack from another direction under those circumstances, it could very
