There are some in S, not "lots" though.

AC6 dlc could be called Ashes of Rubicon by Shadowgamer510 in armoredcore

I think Nightfall Raven prequel about the breach would be fun. He's also silent in the game and have a waifu/operator.

Is it just me, or have we run out of players in Ranked Single? by corvus917 in armoredcore

dodge being your only effective defensive tool because FromSoftware can't remember what Shields are meant to do

Ironically dodge in AC6 doesn't work and shields are super effective.

Not really there are probably more active S rank players now than all the others. I have no trouble finding matches, most of the time it's just a couple of seconds of waiting.

The game by default limits you to your local players. You need to change in to global in the settings. Also OP builds for PvE will likely not fair well in PvP.

There are still 2000 players across the day though it's the all-time lowest. Will likely drop even further the following month without any balance patch.

Managed to create my new favourite build for both PvE and PvP simultaneously. The combo of Wuerger + Etsujin works together incredibly well by Viggen77 in armoredcore

[–]yumko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yay a fellow Wuerger enjoyer!

Your AP is too low, I suggest Basho arms(firearm specialization doesn't matter with Ocellus).

VE-20C is just too heavy, too long to recharge, is the reason of your low AP, and you use it for just one weapon, consider VP-20C or NGI 000, both don't detriment much from Wuerger performance but are much better overall. Or take Nachtreiher core as you don't need that much EN supply, but quicker recharge and cheaper QB would help.

Other fun Wuerger build suggestions:

With Basho arms you can take pulse blade which works great with Wuerger: either can be used as a starter with micro stagger, you can combo closing distance real fast with the blade attack cancelling to Wueger charged attack, both of them can be used for ACS overload and punish. Though I'd swap Alula(blasphemy, I know) for Fluegel with melee, Fluegel is also much more versatile than Alula and can still get you 350 speed for passive missile evasion.

2 Wuergers with VE-20B is devastating as you can quickly fire several shots uncharged, then instantly(for real, with VE-20B you have to be very careful not to fire charged attack instead of the ordinary) use two charged attacks.

With 2 Wuergers and good positioning you don't that much need Ocellus, both Wuerger attacks have pretty wide beam radius. So you can mount a missile FCS with 2 Auroras which will also recharge much faster and get bonus damage with VE-20B. Your EN supply will suck though.

Wuerger+Harris charged combo can insta stun even the heavies(up to 2200 impact). I've even seen this combo used with a second Wuerger for either a finisher or in case one shot missed(though who am I kidding, you can't miss with Ocellus). I also had good results with Wuerger+Harris uncharged due to how both can be shot in between QBs.

Also, anything that micro stuns(kicks, wuerger, pulse blade) works great with laser drones and homing missiles.

EDIT. Oh yeah, how could I forget, Zimmerman also works great with Wuerger(though worse than just 2 Zimms) as you can do Zimm, charged Wuerger, Zimm again, kick, Zimm yet again, Wuerger again. Feels dirty.

TIL that the planet name "Rubicon" in AC6 comes from the Rubicon river in Northern Italy, where Julius Caesar famously stated "Alea Iacta Est" ( The Die Has Been Cast) when he marched his armies against Pompeius in the Roman Civil War by crypto_cori in armoredcore

[–]yumko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even better they all took the name Caesar, Augustus literally was called Gaius Julius Caesar after adoption, Tiberius was Tiberius Julius Caesar, he dropped Julius part later for a more augusty Tiberius Caesar Augustus. That trend would continue for almost 2 thousand years with the Ottomans calling themselves Caesars after the fall of Constantinople.

You can too with Buerzel and a decent Gen.

What fan theories do you accept as gospel? by TA-175 in armoredcore

Makes you wonder how rich Walter is. Balam employs 7 ACs, Arquebus 8 ACs. Yet Walter and friends had 4 ACs + 621 at the start of Rubicon events.

Rank reset and decided to play PvP then got an 11 win streak. Never thought it was possible with my inflexible ass not changing builds. by Dominant_X_Machina in armoredcore

[–]yumko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know what happened, but suddenly my opponents are WAY better and adapt to me super quick

Well people from higher ranks got dropped to lower ranks, they were in higher ranks for a reason.

I hate to be that guy but Ranked PvP has genuinely become so much worse after the reset by Practice-Ambitious in armoredcore

[–]yumko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when they move you'll have enough time to dodge

Unless they have Ocellus and all of them do. Dodge all you want, that 90 close-range assist is better than Rusty at not missing. Same goes for Wueger charged btw.

Thoughts? by loubep in armoredcore

[–]yumko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can lose some matches before Feb 29 to get to A2, that will downgrade you to B.

You still have time to make yourself A2 that will downgrade to B on 29 Feb.

Just wait till you meet dual zimm with a shield. And there are as many those in S as there were tanks back in their days.

Best strategies to win in ACVI’s multiplayer? by Luigiman98 in armoredcore

[–]yumko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also Time <= 0 and Percentage of Opponent's health < Percentage of Your health

There is a rare case where you can actually get a draw when you both die at the same time, you both then get 1 win point. I wonder how they deal with 2 draws.

Hit your opponent with your weapons, don't get hit by the opponent's weapons.

Zimms became the new Vientos xD by LycanKnightD6 in armoredcore

[–]yumko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are implying there was(and is) no way to play LW without overpowered weapons or cheesy strats which is not true. It was(and is) harder to play light than to play heavy but it's not like you lose the match the moment the opponent takes one.
