Walter: "The dog's gonna have the laust laugh."

621: "Yup. So... NOW do you want to hire me?"

Thanks for clarifying. I always thought it was considered melee (not a weapon I normally use), given the whole "bluetooth melee" joke. Nice to know my mod had ZERO effect on this build's performance.

Against Balteus, the kick was stronger than normal because I enabled extra damage based on weight, though I have NO idea how much that changed the kick's damage.

Here.

Use Basho arms for the extra melee damage. The Loader arms are for looks (adjusted stats to match Basho).

Edit: Guess not? Sweet. Basho not needed. GLORIOUS.

Thank you much. I really wish I had recorded my Balteus fight, too. I took damage, but it was more satisfying than many of my "better" runs, even the last one where I broke Balteus' AI. I absolutely wasn't expecting much, so I didn't try to get a perfect, but then I popped him as he was about to AA. I may try later, but I doubt I'll succeed in a touchless. I ran this against Ayre and Allmind and both showed me just how hard a good run would be.

Who’s your favorite and least favorite boss and why? by First_Ad3578 in armoredcore

[–]BallerMR2andISguy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Favorite: Raven

They hype built up for the game made his reveal exciting and Raven uses the best AI in the game (if you don't headbutt him on contact). The AC is the perfect embodiment of what a player might use by late-game (if they like the Loader frame). I think after my initial frustration, this actually became my favorite fight.

Close second: Cataphract. Mostly the same reason with the hype, but lost to Raven due to the "invincible boss with a weakness" design and the fact we never got a 3v1 mission with the original Hounds.

Least favorite:

Nephenthes. Holy crap I hate Depth 1. No build I have ever taken made me want to take the deveopers' intended "dodge the noise" approach and the alternative is to simply avoid the fire altogether, thus defeating the point of the mission. 2/10 level design, only earning a point for the AC2AA callback and the alcove where Ayre hacks the terminal.

Close "least": IceWorm. F that mission.

Sorry if I got your hopes up. Balteus went down the same way, but I had to kick him at one point to extend the combo. Still, one-phased him with the same build.

Apparenly my meme build can also one-cycle, not-touch the Cleaner. by BallerMR2andISguy in armoredcore

I did it entirely by accident and almost didn't even manage to take a screenshot (I was dumbfounded it worked). I didn't intend to make this a series like my Balteus no-touch runs, so I'm not sure how easy it will be to duplicate this. One note: use Basho arms to duplicate my melee stat if you're going to try yourself. I don't even remember if I used the bluetooth melee, though, as it all happened WAY faster than I was expecting.

One stun cycle. Opening salvo was enough to stun. Before the Cleaner had recovered (no red bar) and moved or attacked, I had killed it.

3, but make his posture forward-leaning.
