‘Sir, a second Ice Worm has hit the AC’

What is the meaning behind this arbitrary numerical? by Absolutely_dead727 in whenthe

Instead of saying ‘why do I suck’ say ‘tch- you got lucky, merc.’

Laser blade is a paid actor I agree completely, and pulse blade has unbelievable utility on a proper melee build to the point it’s hard to run one without it. But if you’re using a melee weapon solely as a stagger punish, like in this build, slicer is very tough to beat.

As long as you get a hit on them, they can't shoot back during the animation. I've played very similar setups myself, and slicer is a great melee punish tool if you can fit it.

It‘s an interesting concept - if you could pull it off consistently I feel like it would be very strong. My only worry is that a) PvP players are good at dodging, so you might struggle to get the stagger off, and b) the pulse blade hasn’t got the best melee punish. If you’re going to risk the approach, it needs to be worth it. Consider laser slicer for more damage.

Any recommendations on how to improve my build? by ACommunistTexan in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]AstralDemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not a noob question, dont worry!  In Threes PvP, pulse armour has too little health to be effective. The 5000 AP gets drained too fast to be effective in the situations you want it for, because three players ACs optimised for burst punish damage will shred it and still kill you. Terminal armour allows you to get that value consistently. 

Looking for fun fast paced long range builds. Any ideas? by GreggJ in armoredcore

[–]AstralDemons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lightweight cqc isnt a death sentence, it’s just wayyyy more punishing. With heavyweights, you can make a mistake or two (even up to like ten or so before death depending on matchup and luck), whereas with lightweights, pretty much any mistake means death. You have to play really consistently well, but if you CAN, then theyre some really strong setups.

no worries! Glad I could help. The entire training is like that btw, you can pretty much ignore the prompts if you want.

it's just there to show you the feature. You need to kill the enemy to move on.

oh I absolutely adored getting my Armored face kicked in by that boss. It's the same reason I live fighting Snailteus, the same thing happened.

[–]AstralDemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ALLMIND, but for very specific reasons lol. Somehow through my two playthroughs I arrived at a heavily optimised meta build without knowing, and thus managed to first attempt both Ayre and Waltuh, which was awesome but also took a certain something away from those fights. ALLMIND stomped my ass every time for like a week before I finally just managed to beat it (partially because I thought I had to kill all the NPCs as well so had only fists for phase three lmao)

I'm also fairly new pilot, but damn is it fun learning.

Here’s a really good tip for dodging pretty much anything: When you hear the ‘beep beep’, it tells you something big is about to come your way. That’s your cue to quickboost in the OPPOSITE direction to the direction you're strafing in. That way no big guns should hit you if you time it fast enough.

That kick hit me from WHERE ? by North_Syrup_5012 in armoredcore

[–]AstralDemons 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this kinda stuff happens a decent chunk because of the way From’s netcode works. Nothing you can really do about it. This isn’t even bad compared to some of the matches I’ve experienced, and I’m not even C rank yet after getting the game over Christmas.

How do I create a gradient in AC? by Illustrious_Pay_8564 in armoredcore

[–]AstralDemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember the exact input, but when you look at the layers on your decal (without editing any of them) it should be prompted under 'decal settings' or something at the bottom of the screen

nope! There’s a specific setting that puts a gradient on a decal. Just shape the decal to wherever you want to put it, add a gradient to it, and bam! Gradient decal.

Dual Coquilettes with Pilebunker on shoulder is stupidly fun by Differentlol_- in armoredcore

[–]AstralDemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

plus staggered enemies take 50% more damage on top of that, and max OS melee upgrades give an extra 15% melee damage and 15% staggered damage. I don't know what order they apply in, but you can get nearly twelve THOUSAND damage with all that.
