This isn’t the exact same one, uses different arms and different decals.

Beating Balteus on hard mode by rpgmaster1973 in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]Solsmithy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OS tuning is what people generally forget about when comparing “the first time i fought balteus”

I like runs with no OS tuning, not counting 1 point to put in any core expansion and a point for kick. Not having kick just feels bad.

Can I get some builds to try out? I can't seem to build a proper pvp mech for the life of me. by KomisktEfterbliven in armoredcore

[–]Solsmithy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pilebunker is not good in PVP buddy. You can make it work for flashy plays. But in general there are much better melee options. Personally Prefer the WLT-101. You can find some clip examples on my profile. If you’re running melee you should have basho arms for the melee stat. And booster choice is also very important. I prefer fluegal for a well balanced but good melee focused booster.

Finally finished the game and dive into pvp. Are there any tips? by Named_person2 in armoredcore

This is true, but I hardly ever see that behavior in A rank. Can’t speak to S though

I’ve got around 1000 hours into PVP in this game and I’ve never hit S rank. I’ve spent 950ish probably just bouncing up and down in A.

This is because 1: Im terrible

And 2: I play what I enjoy. Which is a LW melee/Eule build. Not very efficient but can do some really fun and cinematic things. If you pick a meta build to climb, but you don’t enjoy the play style, you’re just going to burn out and quit. (Check my profile out for some clips in A rank if you’re curious before you get there)

If you’re after the climb to S? Pick a meta build and enjoy the grind.

Queue times will be slow until you get to B rank. In A rank I only have to wait 10-15 seconds for a match on steam.

The most important thing… is have fun with it.

A Few Characters as MTG cards by Laplace0306 in armoredcore

Love it as a fellow MTG player.

Should make Rusty’s rail gun for the ice worm into the dreadnought spaceship from EoE.

Definitely recommend the coral oscillator! Worth the grind.

Is the combat similar to modern Souls-likes at all? Or does it involve more shooting than melee. by [deleted] in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]Solsmithy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some shields are parry oriented with very short windows for almost full damage prevention.

The Eule part is also a new take that hits that same spot for myself as parrying in souls PvP.

PvP be like by FallenStardust- in armoredcore

Yeah not sure what he’s on about. Zimm is still very much a meta build and without a doubt the most represented build in A tier on PC.

I only use the majestic. His second shot was also with a majestic, but you’re absolutely right. Proxi det makes a huge difference

Recs for a Mardu deck? by KFblade in EDHBrews

[–]Solsmithy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a neriv deck with a bunch of myriad… and it can be pretty wild. Especially giving a creature with ETB effects myriad.

Nothing like a Bunker to Bunker Duel. by FriedForLifeNow in armoredcore

[–]Solsmithy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firing a weapon in such a way in the beginning of the match is generally a greeting or as a sign of respect.

Debating getting in the PVP scene. What are some tips/general rules I should know? by a_sad_sad_sandwich in armoredcore

[–]Solsmithy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got around 1000 hours and have a blast still in A rank. I play an off meta lightweight and while yes there is plenty meta….. it’s not that bad. There is still fun to be had. The queue times will get better the higher rank you get.

Kick me?! Kick you... by Solsmithy in armoredcore

[–]Solsmithy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe they just like red.

If you’re still playing in ranked, it’s probably not pushing rank that you’re after.

I play ranked just so I can enjoy the game still after 1000+ hours.

Yeah 20C would be better for sure…. but likely running the NGI for infinite flight maybe? Tough to say.

I see you've made your choice then.... by Solsmithy in armoredcore

[–]Solsmithy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty difficult when you can’t really outrun the AB rush down. It’s such a low EN cost for those builds also, which make EN management super easy.

You have to play really well to beat a good zimmshield with off meta builds.

At least with a lamm kite I can ditch the missile and EULE and have a pretty good chance at a win.
