Deck Bonus
Customizing your own deck bonus
Depending on what suits you bring, you gain mission cost(M-cost), points which you can use to customize your own deck bonus. The less deck capacity that a suit uses up, the more mission cost you get.
You get 2 Deck bonus slots to customize, circled in red. Click to open the deck bonus customize window.
Clicking one of the slots will open a menu:
Setting Deck Bonuses is very similar to setting modules. Note that higher level and certain deck bonuses use consumable mission modules, which you can buy more of in the store under items with GP (It sells lv2 modules only). It consumes these modules for each battle.
The following are the deck bonus tabs with translations:
Note that you can only pick one bonus from each page of bonuses.
Page 1 - Offense
Note that the above bonuses stack additively, so if you have a rocket shooter level 5 suit (15% bonus damage) and you use rocket shooter deck bonus (7%), then you deal 21% bonus damage with rocket weapons.
Page 2 - Defense
Please note that all deck bonuses from "Underwater Survival" stack additvely with defense modules (Ie. Beam coating, Live ammunition resistance, Explosive Resistance, and Melee resistance) and the Underwater Armour trait.
This is the reason why certain low-mid cost suits can get significant damage reduction in the water.
Page 3 - Mobility
*Emergency Homing refers to pressing Z during a battle to teleport your suit. The higher this stat, the less time it takes to teleport your suit. Useful for saving your expensive suit for repairs or responding to enemy attacks against objectives you own.
Page 4 - Boost
*Boost module here is not to be confused with the MS battle boost version, it is a separate item used solely for deck bonuses.
Info below is outdated, as of the December 24th 2015 update, you can set your own deck bonuses, which suits you use are irrelevant.
The active deck bonus can be seen along the top in your MS Deck.
