    you can also cancel dagger into fist just as quickly as you can into quickboost. and since the dagger has such high cooling, you can actually just go back into the dagger combo after staggering and punching once or twice. basho arms, laser dagger, no right arm, two huxleys on a heavy tetrapod using mostly melee attacks with kikaku booster for mobility is extremely silly

      @@CodenameMood Rude comments aside, since you're billing yourself as the "Melee Messiah" it'd be interesting to see how you deal with long-distance/keepaway builds. The vast bulk of Armored Core 6 is close-range builds because there's not really any other damn range in the game outside of Missile Chunking, and so the enemy tends to feed themselves right into your ideal engagement ranges. How do you handle builds that _don't_ feed themselves to your sword and instead try to play a long-range poke game, either Skybox missile fuckery or high-speed evasive missileer lights?

      Comment might look mean, but me and Zepharis are close friends.
      As for matchups.. I play a fair build. That loses to more playstyles than it wins against. You will lose to almost all tetras and tanks. And that's a build issue, not a skill issue.
      I am undefeated in the realm of melee, but I never claimed to be the "best pvp player" in the game. We have to be realistic.@@yurei8368

      @@nlm7033 I mean sure, that's all well and good if you control the room and can set terms. I find that any strategy reliant on the opposition actively making mistakes or voluntarily giving up advantages is a questionable strategy. Sure you can Overboost to a skybox boat - once. Can you do it again? Can you do it often enough to bring it down when it has 15k AP to your ~9k, is specifically built for aerial endurance while you are not, and is raining fire on you the whole time? Can you do it when the skyboat knows full well that's what people are gonna do and trades one of its hand missiles away for a HMMR or a Zimmerman so it can smite you when you close to grips with it? And that's saying nothing of the high-speed groundbound keepaway builds that're built to be faster than you in the first place, Overboost or no Overboost.

  • @agentoranj5858

    1:50 Today at work something occured to me: Because missile weapons don't benefit from Recoil Control or from Firearm Specialisation and can lock onto targets outside of your crosshair, the Basho arms are theoretically as good as any other for a pure missile build, but could be uniquely suited to a melee/missile hybrid build if such a thing is at all viable. I suspect the only useful handheld launcher for this would be the HML-G2/P19MLT-04 since the other two options have a minimum range of sorts.
    It may also be possible to use Basho arms with manually aimed weapons, IIRC using ECM grenades on yourself forces the enemy to get closer to get a lock and that could be exploited to bait them into your melee range, but it could also completely ruin your useful melee techs that rely on the tracking of melee attacks. I'm not far enough into the game to test these things myself yet.

    I know the ducat has solid stagger, but have you condered the laser pistol or wurger laser shotgun?

    I love this build, I've been messing with a super light weight using one Viento and a laser dagger similar to how you play Asphalt where I try to start stagger build with my dagger then finish it up with the Viento so the dagger is ready for stagger time. If you can deal with the looks of them, the Melander C3 arms are actually becoming my "go-to" arms because they are really well rounded (92~ recoil, 124~ Firearm, and 102 Melee). BALAM may have failed countless times in the story but I'm determined to be the best BALAM AC to ever AC and somehow ritual summon a new storyline where BALAM doesn't suck

    7:06 I have no proof, but I'm pretty sure the red text box "ACS LOAD LIMIT" above the stagger bar is the indicator of the stagger stun, and the red stagger bar itself is separately the indicator of when you will get the direct hit bonus on attacks, which often is longer than the stun itself (and I think is what the Attitude Recovery stat changes). For whatever reason (I can think of a few possible), after you assault armor here the stagger bar turns red, but there is no "ACS LOAD LIMIT" above the bar to indicate the stagger stun. Hopefully someone can research/test how this system actually works, but in the mean time its something to pay attention to.

If you ACS Overload with anything that isn't a charged dagger, you can use that combo. Quick Boosts (QB) are optional and can make it more consistent but are more often than not unnecessary. The second combo is: [Chg. Dagger (cause ACS Overload) -> Delayed Shotgun -> (QB) Dagger 1]. This enables you to use Charged Dagger as a combo starter and chains directly back into the first combo, so you can use them together for a very long combo.

    YES!!! I actually use a similar build with the Laser Dagger and Laser Slicer but with the Wuerger Laser Shotgun instead of a Duckett since the mini stun on the Laser Dagger charge attack makes it hard to dodge the follow up charge attack of the Laser Shotgun and I have time to charge the Laser Shotgun as I'm committing to a Laser Dagger charge. I was inspired by your Silver Lining build's Pulse Blade and Zimmerman opener, and tried to put my own spin on it with laser weapons because blue is my favorite color.
    To punish an ACS Overload from my Laser Dagger charge attack into Laser Shotgun charge attack, I'd normally do Laser Dagger 2 hit > quick boost > switch weapons > Laser Slicer 2 hit > Assault Armor (the stagger runs out right before the end of the Laser Slicer combo leaving you with frame disadvantage if they survive and you don't have Assault Armor to cancel the animation partway through the second hit).
    I find starting my finisher with Laser Dagger 2 hit mechanically easier than starting with Laser Slicer because with high enough Melee Attack Thrust via Kikaku or Gridwalker boosters I don't even need to quick boost cancel the Laser Shotgun charge attack to hit confirm a stagger unless the enemy's momentum leaves them outside my range (so I can just mash after the Laser Shotgun charge attack). The Laser Dagger 2 hit also works well at forcing the enemy's Pulse Armor and allowing you to counter with Assault Armor without prematurely overheating your Laser Slicer.
    However, in the case that you will run out of EN closing the gap with melee on an ACS Overloaded target and be left unable to perform the quick boost in the middle of the combo, you can quick boost and switch weapons before the Laser Shotgun charge attack then go straight into the Laser Slicer 2 hit which should again connect even without the need to quick boost cancel the Laser Shotgun charge attack.
    Alternatively, if you end up staggering with the Laser Dagger charge attack or Assault Armor, you can do quick boost > Laser Slicer 2 hit > assault boost > boost kick > Laser Shotgun charge attack. Boost kick can be skipped if you're out of EN.
    I'm not sure if it's inescapable and it might be unreliable on high latency, but I've never had someone get out of it in PvP and it seems to be confirmed in PvE vs AC type enemies in the test run, missions, and arena.
    Additional notes:
    I use the Laser Drone for my right back unit to maintain the laser theme but there are probably more optimal ways to sustain or build ACS strain.
    I named my build Cutscene because it locks the opponent in an 8 second unskippable while their AC gets blended.

    What are your thoughts on using a shotgun/pistol/machine gun swapper set up with double melee over a plasma muzzle or Huxley? I’ve been easing into the double melee with double moonlight with a ludlow/Chang-Chen setup and I found the constant impact output really helpful.

      @@CodenameMood Sorry maybe I worded that bad, I meant 2 melees on left side and 2 guns on right. So you still open with melee but instead of having a pistol and missle/drone you run 2 pistols on your right hand so you can keep shooting one while the other reloads on your back and keep their impact from your opening melee hit from depleting.
      Maybe it’s skill issue on my part but sometimes while playing melee I find myself just shy of getting them into ACS overload but have all my weapons on cooldown and I have found that 2 right hand guns helps me with that problem, but then you don’t have the extra pressure from any missiles/drones/orbits.

    aww you cut out my one round W against you.

I don't remember how I beat you the second round, but you made some mistake (probably whiffed a charged dagger?) and I punished with Slicer, it wasn't an impressive kill so I'm not surprised it got cut whereas both of your W's vs me were obvious outplays with your Dagger.
    Dagger definitely feels strong against other close range builds and especially other melee builds, the cooldown on dagger is so short that it is always a threat at that range.

    The fact Assault Armor can't be countered, at all, even with the Assault Protection shield kind of makes me wonder what the counterplay to it is for it to be fair? It doesn't seem like once he's staggered you can do anything to stay alive. So it's just a chase to stagger?

    • @Kryto_Gaming
      @Kryto_Gaming 7 місяців тому

      Trying to use PA after being staggered is a misplay on the PA user. One of PA's best features is that it resets your ACS overload bar, so proactively using it when your ACS is high but not broken is the way to go. AA is an opportunity cost that requires positioning to use, so inherently it's mostly light fast, but also low AP/defense builds that can make good use of it. Those builds are also the ones that would make good use of PA. Furthermore, AA loses potency at distance, and only fully counters PA at melee range. If you're facing a Tank for example and they use PA, your AA will take out the PA, but not cause a stagger due to their high Stability. This lets them counter attack and in many cases, easily one shot a light build. There's also Terminal Armor, which would stop melee true combos cold. If you pick TA and you also have a high burst build, it's very possible to counter attack after an enemy AA and get a win.
      If it's a battle between two lights that both have AA, then yeah, unless the first use of AA kills the enemy, whoever AA's second gets an advantage. But that's part of the risk of choosing AA.
