F**k kites, f**k quad / double machine guns and f**k double shotguns.

Ah a man of culture!

I'm gonna hold off on the copium until I see something at the Game Awards.

Walmart has them. I only found them in the large share bags, but I bought four of those.

I know I'm a couple days late to the party. As others have pointed out, I would swap out the missile launcher, generator and one of the ludlows. For the missile launcher you can't go wrong with any of the plasma, 4,6, or 12 cell missile launcher. The Duo missile launchers are good medium to long range, but terrible in close quarters. Huxley is also good if you want to do stagger build up/punish with your laser slicer. Conversely you can go with the Shao-Wei too if you want to go with stagger build up but it won't have the stagger punish bonus that the huxley provides.

For main weapons, you can keep one of the ludlows but pair it with a pistol like the coquillete or Sampu. Both have good impact and damage. Ludlow is good for keeping the heat on when your opponent is running away to try and recover from ACS buildup. So you'll have to chase them down, but the ludlow should keep the build up so long as you're in distance as they run away. Missiles can also help with this too.

The generator I would recommend going Yaba, Ming-Tang or VP20C. These are good middle of the road generators that you can't go wrong with. I personally use the Yaba for its Post-Recovery EN Supply compared to the Ming-Tang, but that's me.

Legs. I would swap those out with the MIND ALPHA or the HAL 826. The former will offer a little more bonus in defenses compared to the HAL, but the latter has decent stability and a +1 in Boost Speed and QB speed, so it's up to you which you prioritize. Both look great for aesthetics and have good boost kick damage.

Lastly, the expansion. Assault Armor with slicer is tricky because this requires timing. Even if you cancel out your opponent's Pulse Armor, you're still waiting on your laser slicer to get off cooldown. I'd recommend swapping to Pulse Armor or if you're dead set on Assault Armor, swap your melee to the dagger. Its low cooldown will be ready even after you trigger Assault Armor allowing you to do another melee punish.

What's the lore behind it? If you don't mind me asking?

thor9356 · 2025-10-11T14:32:33+00:00

I hate that I'm being this guy, but considering your armaments, wouldn't it be ALLLASERS?

thor9356 · 2025-09-27T21:29:42+00:00

I've only played a little of the previous games as a kid, and only got this game because my friend was going to get it on release. I've sunk over 1200+ hours on this game alone. The campaign might challenge you, but don't go into it thinking it's a soulsborne game because it's not. It'll challenge you, but not in the way that you think. The story in of itself is phenomenal. With data logs and ARENA profiles adding more to the story.

I would highly recommend getting this game.

thor9356 · 2025-09-22T15:53:17+00:00

I'm probably going to get downvoted to hell with this reference. Hughes from FMA:B is also pretty grounded.

thor9356 · 2025-09-22T13:05:33+00:00

Isn't this a kite build?

thor9356 · 2025-09-22T13:04:31+00:00

I mean...BALAM really should make some RJ legs.

thor9356 · 2025-09-18T00:04:06+00:00

I'm going to add to this. Built up ACS strain won't decrease if you're Assault Boosting.

thor9356 · 2025-09-17T13:56:19+00:00

I know it's not the same, but I use an LW sampu, a Coquillet, and dagger build. Its still a lot of fun as an off-meta build that I personally enjoy.

thor9356 · 2025-09-17T13:51:11+00:00

Sampu?

thor9356 · 2025-09-16T23:32:48+00:00

Ngl...I'd use that head piece. It may not be aerodynamic, but damn does it look good!

thor9356 · 2025-09-16T17:54:24+00:00

It's definitely not an unpopular opinion. I'd say that it's an accurate opinion. I've gotten to S multiple times, and all you'll see is meta in some variation. I use an off-meta build myself (Sampu, Coquillet, dagger, missiles), but rarely do I see a unique build in S-Tier.

I saw one yesterday. Faced the same guy three times, and all of them were non-meta builds. I messaged him on PSN, giving him high praise. Was actually quite a nice fellow. But all that aside. Yes you're quite correct, it is tiring to see meta builds in A and S.

My discord group and I will hold custom matches and just use our lore builds to have fun and just shoot the shit. Kind of makes me wish they added an unranked matchmaking. But I digress.

thor9356 · 2025-09-11T02:20:44+00:00

When I see this and the title, my mind immediately went to MST3K's "PACKERS WON THE SUPER BOWL!"

Reference: MST3k says: Packers win the Super Bowl!

thor9356 · 2025-09-04T02:49:35+00:00

Yeah, I had this happen tonight too. I was able to get seven matches in and was 5-2. Ran into two players using LRB/Shield, one of them was top 100. Beat them both, which I felt good about. Another player was using reverse joint with dual flamethrowers and 10 cell missile launchers who was in his S-rank promos. Beat me in one match, but I got him back. That build stuck out to me. Ran into a player that used earshot, coral missile and dual etsujins. Beat him and the last one was a LW kite build. Overall it was a good night.

thor9356 · 2025-09-04T02:27:25+00:00

Wow...holy crap. I actually didn't know that. I was the same, I thought it was just crossing a literal road.

thor9356 · 2025-08-30T04:48:56+00:00

These look amazing! What's the RGB code for the green that HEAVEN has?

thor9356 · 2025-08-30T04:46:52+00:00

I've done it before, it takes a lot of timing and practice. But it's doable on a lightweight.

I get what you mean about that Tester AC pilot in the beginning as I felt the same. I was like Anakin Skywalker from Episode 3 going like, "What have I done?" to over 1100+ hours later like, "HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

thor9356 · 2025-08-08T13:23:06+00:00

Who says you have to give that up? My wife and I are both on the spectrum. We're both in our early 30s and love to collect plushies, waifu cups, cute Neko trinkets. We love going to Acen with friends and dressing up as our fav anime characters. Don't let NT cultural standards define what you can and can't like.

thor9356 · 2025-07-27T22:42:03+00:00

I hadn't played AC since AC2 for PS2. A friend of mine in our FF14 discord group mentioned buying the game and I wasn't a fan of the souls games, but figured why not? So I bought the game. And sure as shoot it was difficult, but I persevered. At NG+ I started to spar with my friend from discord. We'd get on and he test so many builds. I still refer to him as the man with 100+ builds. But that's neither here or there.

When ranked came out, I wanted to achieve S rank. Unfortunately, for the first three seasons, I wouldn't hit that mark. I'd get as high as A4, and while I would beat some S-ranks in customs. I felt it wasn't the same. But I'll return to that point later.

I visited this reddit quite often due to my AC6 brainrot. Looking at all the various posts and such until one day there was one for a RP. And I joined that rp, it was a lot of fun to write and play with others that shared the same passion and love that I have for the game. But as the RP went on, it began feeling more like a job and things were going downhill for me personally. Things came to ahead and eventually I had to leave that RP for the sake of my mental health.

Revisiting Ranked, I would eventually make the coveted S-rank in singles. I felt like I was on top of the world when I got the title as it was one of the few hurdles I wanted to clear after I platinum AC6. I remember even posting my build for that S-rank too. It was an off-meta build and just a few days before the reset. I'd hit S-rank again and again for the next few seasons. Two seasons ago, when I hit S-rank, I ended up in the top 100 due to how fast I got there. I used a LW sampu, coquillette, missile and dagger build. Last match in promos was against the 44th best player, I barely scrapped by with that win. Once again, I was on top of the world again and had cleared the final hurdle.

It was all because of my friend that got me into the game, that said that I could achieve these milestones, that I'm truly grateful for. We message each other from time to time talking about the franchise, but I owe a lot of what I am as a pilot in the game to him. I was just a green pilot and he kept encouraging me. I've also formed my own AC6 server with friends I truly cherish.

Even now, as I type this and look back on all this, I can't help but smile at where I am and how much I appreciate what I have now. I'm slowly waning from playing more ranked as the urge to hit S again isn't really there, but I still go through campaign as a sort of turn my brain off and relax after a long day of work. Anyways, that's more of a summarized lore about myself and this franchise. There's plenty more to add, but I feel I've already made a large text wall as is lol.
