NGI 000 got even better now it's upward thrust is even closer to that of Gridwalker, its unfortunate how Gridwalker didn't receive the same buff of 500
Thanks so much for your hard work friend. You are a beloved part of from's community, one thats been saturated with so much halfassed clickbait content and build videos from people who dont know what theyre talking about especially since Elden Ring. Appreciate your commitment to a rigorous study of the numbers and prioritizing information access over your own channel's success. Thank you and stay healthy and happy 🙏
It's a good part of why staying airborne at all is so much better for evasion. Your speed is technically much higher going up or down, so enemy tracking is worse than if you're grounded
That graph of the boost dropoff at 75k-80k has been the biggest gamechanger for builds in weeks. I've retweaked many an old AC to work around the invisible pit, and made a few stupid ones like putting the fatarse legs on a speedy under 75k build for fun. Also yay the vid I was looking forward to the most! EDIT: I didn't expect learn you can stand on the escort chopper...
Same here, also something to consider allways is EN supply efficiency. It is how fast your EN recharges, on some of my builds i can dubbel the stat youst by seitching generator or other equipments. went from 2,2k to 4,5k on my lightweight when switching generator!
Do we know whether the line in the patch today where "Adjusted various boost speed rates according to total weight" affects this? Should probably be retested.
@@Maawaa I cant wait to get home and test my AB build! Everything is buffed except the main weapons i think! Here is the ID if you wanna try a uniqe and amazing AB build the weapons compliment eachother soooo well! UTG8HLJ5EE1M
@@Maawaa From what I gather the slope after the 75k-80k mark has noticeably gotten deeper. Not sure what it's like before that. EDIT: It's actually the opposite, the ceiling for boost speed has gotten significantly higher for lightweights, and the 75-80k pit is slightly less severe.
The biggest problem with using fat legs on a lightweight is that you’ll eat netcode beams due to low speed, and you’ll take damage due to low defense. Best to pick a side IMO.
I just want to shoutout an improvement in your breakdown videos I've seen, and that is incorporating cuts to gameplay more frequently in between the numbers. Since movement is more customizable in AC, I guess it's more necessary, but seeing these 'demonstrations' is definitely helpful and engaging.
I feel like you either pick your boosters to make your build's strengths even more pronounced or to supplement its weakness for the most part. Like, you can totally stick your favorite booster on an AC and call it a day, but maybe you'll think it twice if your build has low EN capacity and just 3 QB will make you run out entirely. It's still a valid option but in terms of optimization it isn't great.
Right as soon as I got the gills and the second coral generator I never looked back. Usually keep on a shoulder weapon that makes you take a stance and use it while the generator is reloading while airborne.
The boosters have easily been the most confusing of all the parts in AC6, so thank you so much for making this!!! I’ve been very excited for this vid to come out
that weight graph is super handy!! I also am a big fan of the NGI 001; it rocks on reverse joints imo EDIT: man, they reworked the weight-speed graph in this patch LMAO, rough time to have the video release
The SPD isn't the mediocre flyer it's made out to be. It can get up. Obviously it's not a premiere booster for flying, but it is leaps and bounds better at flying than the Alula is, especially with a coral generator. 100% true what you say about midair dodging though. You kind of have to go 'towards' people's attacks just to break their FCS with a QB to the left or right.
Thanks for another great vid! One small annotation I'd suggest adding is the kikakus AB EN management. It is essentially the all round energy conservation melee booster! I use it for melee nuilds that chase down reverse jointers a lot specifically for this stat as well.
I think the most valuable info for me in this video was that weight graph and the clear tiers and how to approach that in regards to booster. Amazing !
Your guides got me using lasers and the gridwalker in a playstyle akin to Boba/jango fett. Tbh, flying around and raining lasers was a fun playstyle and fairly effective with the right gen, even though building around the VE-20B was a pain in the ass lol. It really helped with s ranking intercept redguns where i was comfortably flying around and raining laser bolts. Booster knowledge also helped with srank on the ng++ where I reconfigured my mech to have a stronger assault boost in order to skip first phase. Thanks a bunch, really got me customizing a bit more than just slapping the spd on everything.
計画 _keikaku_ is "plan" 企画 _kikaku_ is "project" or 規格 _kikaku_ "norm" Or they could have made up a new word like 鬼角 _kikaku_ "demon horn", the sky's the limit. Unfortunately, all part names are in English even in the Japanese setting so we might never know.
I really hate the weight classes being hard built into stats like that, adding just a small amount of weight shouldn't have sharp falls like that. that isn't fun to build around
Your breakdowns are unmatched in their detail and clarity. You've helped me understand the game's stats and mechanics on a much deeper level than I've had with any game before. Ironically it's taken *most* of the challenge out of it. I've started running sortes without shoulder weapons, or with other guns I'm not used to or fond of using. So on top of greater knowledge in AC6, you've also motivated me to have far more variety as well. Keep up the awesome work, I'm looking forward to more updated guides!
Your videos are an invaluable asset to the community! I used to get by with the “blue number go brrr” strategy, but your breakdowns have helped me become much more thoughtful with my builds. Much love, and thanks for the hard work 🙏
Every time you release a new one of these breakdowns, I spend a few hours going back and fine-tuning that aspect of my 40+ builds and differentiating them a bit more into increasingly varied playstyles and niches. It's been very fun, looking forward to more!! Loved your Elden Ring content as well. Your detailed and data-driven analysis has been invaluable!
Mad respect bro !!! ❤❤ much love, thank you thank you thank you, but it of all that, you have to do all your videos all over again, new patch is out and all equipment is completely rebalenced, but hey !! If you redo all your videos, I will be the 1st to watch them all again !!!
Are you able to switch to scan mode for the duration of boosters to last longer? Just like verdict day? Every time I switch to scan mode in armored core verdict Day with a certain generator and booster I was able to fly around for quite a while.
>do not skip this section You knew i looked at that huge ass segment and gad my finger hovering over the chapter button lmao! _Fine_ if i really have to.
AC core is very important that determining the final stats of thrust/QB/delay/Consumption as well, and by taking Core into calculation you might need to redo this video.
All the RaD stuff has very utilitarian purposes. I mean theyère the perfect booster for whatever RaD MT or AC loadout they appear on Carla side ;) I mean I found myself changing my booster the most playing the game through because different levels had different amounts of verticality and where I wanted to be and how mobile in side the mission maps was the thing that changed th most, a lot more than my weapons.
The SPD is actually pretty good for using supply recovery to maintain constant flight. The height ceiling on a lot of maps is so low that the SPD's vertical thrust is enough to frequently hit it and the additional horizontal velocity from the boost speed will keep you in the air until supply recovery kicks in after expending all of your energy. It lets you maintain a constant 400-540 kmh if you're constantly ascending and descending and works at around 70-80k weight. You have to rely a lot on carrying momentum in a single direction, so it's not going to be great in multiplayer outside of missile kiting, but a lot of the big set piece bosses and enemies in single player don't have move sets designed to deal with it.
I beat most of the the game with a tetrapod spd build. I got many bosses first try with it too. It had its weaknesses for sure but mostly it was smooth sailing.
Funny how after this video came out, an update got released a few hours after that just buffed (I think) every booster in the game (particularly upward thrust)
These guides have been so great to watch. The generators one got me started, and I really got to appreciate the details worked into the parts. Thank you so much for clearing up a lot of the confusion.

There's also a general change to how weights affect boost speed, with light weights getting more speed and heavy weights getting slightly less, so the graph is probably out of date.
You put in so much hard work, when the patch came out my first thought was "Poor Chrighht will have to start all over again!". Once again this is a very insightful video, thank you for putting these together, you're a hero.
The mule is also good for reverse joint legs because of the high quick boost duration combined with high jump distance. As long as you're touching the ground your quick boost will practically fling you
about the 12345 booster: its extra long quick boost duration seems to have an interesting effect on reverse joint legs, that makes their QB leap land much sooner than other boosters. something like 0.8 seconds or so. i use this on a heavyweight RJ build and it's really fun. you get the benefit of the RJ quick boost style without the drawback of being stuck in the air for 2 seconds. the downside of course is you are very slow when not quick boosting. try it out!
@@yozul1 yeah you're right, i was too focused on the gimmick. i switched my build to the NGI and it just feels better to go way faster even if i'm in the air for longer
Thanks for the video. Some other people doing build videos dont know what therye talking about. I watched a build video where they guy actually said the ngi 001 was the worst booster in the game. My immediate thought was "are we playing the same game?"
I'm sure you already saw the latest patch that added system recovery to a bunch of head parts. I'd love to get your report on whether or not they've actually changed anything.
The Buerzel with the Altitude chest is INSANE, here is my AB build that works super well for those intrested! So much fun and the weapons compliment eachother perfectly! Such a uniqe build compared to whats out there! The best part is that it is very viable against all type of AC's it obliterates lightweight AC's. ID# UTG8HLJ5EE1M
If you're running a lightweight build optimised for high supply efficiency and have AP lower than 9k, then the BST-G1/P10's low QB cost, low weight and low EN cost all make a BIG difference Especially when paired with a high booster efficiency core like the Firmeza I won't lie I still miss the permanent overboost builds you could make in ACV/ACVD where your generator output is high, booster consumption is low and then you turn on scan mode and you can actually recover your energy while overboosting the whole time.
The point specifically about defense emphasis above 80,000 weight and or staying below a 75,000 threshold for speed single-handedly changed my entire through process when building after doing it for hundreds of hours. Thanks Chrightt!!
A note on "booster speed," as displayed by the speedometer: You mention that 1 point in booster speed equals ~.283 m/s. I'm not sure what method you're using to calculate in-game meters, but assuming some fuzziness in your estimations, my guess is that the ratio should be almost exactly .2778, as that's how many m/s you get for 1 km/h. I'm almost certain AC uses km/h for their speedometers; iirc it's even directly stated as such in the HUD in AC4. Edit: I paused the video and wrote this comment before I got to the part where you timed distance to the enemy with the in-game targeting. Given that, I stand on my assumption that the speedometer is definitely displaying units in km/h. Seems crazy to me to do so when everything you fight is inside of like, 300 meters, and you're moving at speeds so fast that it doesn't make sense to use the same units you would in an automobile, (you're never going ANYWHERE for an hour at a constant speed in an AC, while you do change directions often every few seconds or so, so knowing your speed per second is much more valuable,) but the US Air Force still measures airspeed for their fighters in fucking *knots,* so what do I know?
BST-G2/PO6SPD is my favourite booster for reverse jointed legs, fast asf thruster🥵 and I’ve got jump distance anyways as long as I land before boosting again
Tbh I’ve been running a fireza frame with the alula, sticking (at the moment) to a dual assault rifle and dual missile build. My choice missiles are the single fire cluster missiles or the 10x launcher. On chapter 3 at the mo and it’s been killing it since chapter 2. Tempted to try a needle rifle and dual songbirds combo for it when I get the needle guns, but so far, it’s a down and dirty ground fighting beast. Still not as fast as I would like though, I feel really slow compared to ac4/4a in my go-to Aaliyah with a similar setup (dual bff ar, salines and flares with backup blades)
Lemme just say I love how fromsoft made it so that you can stand on helicopters and the dead robotic carcasses of your enemies. It’s little things like that, that make this game that much more amazing.
So, about the gills, the thing is their upward thrust and energy consumption isn't that bad, which means if you intend to run a heavy build meant to mostly fly, they can be pretty good (third after Gridwalkers and NGI OO1) since their QB cooldown does not drop off to a ridiculous point since it starts so very low.
One question that stuck out in my mind through this video: What would you say is a "good" base speed to aim for? I usually try to stay around ~330 speed, but I don't know if there's any real good average or breakpoint beyond personal preference.
Hello, question for anyone who wants to answer. Ive been a coral gen junky since i unlocked them. With the new weight changes i wanted to mix it up and run the lighter generator. But i find its resup after redlining to be wayyy to small. Wondering what the ideal booster would be? No melee. Also curious if the light coral gen is more suited to RJ's instead of bipedal.
Something I want to say that I said in your your most recent video but is worth stating again here, the 12345 boosters are one of the best boosters to use on tetrapod legs while hovering. I don’t know exactly how the math works, but you can reach 600 speed while over 100k weight if you are hovering.
I'm noticing that different boosters are causing my schneider reverse joint AC to reach different altitudes during a grounded quick boost, and this means that the amount of time it spends drifting down changes with it. From what I can tell the altitude reached correlates _inversely_ with jet duration, with the 12345 seeing me fully landed before a Ming Tang can start regenerating.
I think that trying to assess how good certain part types are (legs, cores, generators and boosters) on their own is kind of futile because they depend on each other to perform best. For example I’ve got a build that uses Ling-tai generator, Ephemera core, Nachtraider legs and the Gills. All these parts have big weaknesses, the generator doesn’t have enough energy to fly for long, equip expensive parts or do many consecutive maneuvers, the legs can’t carry too much weight, the chest can’t take kinetic damage and the boosters are a bit middling on their own, but it all comes together beautifully where the vast majority of those weaknesses are nullified, making the whole much better than the sum of its parts. I feel like these breakdowns are useful and there’s plenty of reasons to keep making them, but maybe a video on how to create a strong synergy between each individual part on your AC would also be very useful in order to apply the lessons learnt in each individual part breakdown.
1 kilometer per hour translates to 0.278 meters per second, which is pretty close to the 0.283 you estimated, so I figure that the boost speed stat is just given in kph...
Does melee attack thrust effect kick range? I'm not specifically interested in if it can deal more damage or impact, just if it extends the range of the kick.
Boii i starting with some classic build and common youtube build . and enjoy the game more with this all raw data profided freely for a PVP mech build fun time !
I'm thinking the units of velocity are likely to be kilometres per hour. The conversion is very close to what you measured and it's a common unit for the speed of vehicles.

basically all boosters have high upward thrust now.
That doesn't change much except making the gridwalker obsolete

The fact that the speedometer tracks all movement instead of merely the horizontal place is such a godsend.
It's a good part of why staying airborne at all is so much better for evasion. Your speed is technically much higher going up or down, so enemy tracking is worse than if you're grounded
Bro..... my condolences they basically tweaked every part in the game so much all your work may well need to be re-done..
That graph of the boost dropoff at 75k-80k has been the biggest gamechanger for builds in weeks. I've retweaked many an old AC to work around the invisible pit, and made a few stupid ones like putting the fatarse legs on a speedy under 75k build for fun.
Also yay the vid I was looking forward to the most!
EDIT: I didn't expect learn you can stand on the escort chopper...

update. delete the gridwalker from this list
@@BaBaNaNaBaFleugel is niche now. Possible meta for a melee mid weight.

BOOSTER “IB-C03B: NGI 001”: increased Upward Thrust
There's also a general change to how weights affect boost speed, with light weights getting more speed and heavy weights getting slightly less, so the graph is probably out of date.
You put in so much hard work, when the patch came out my first thought was "Poor Chrighht will have to start all over again!". Once again this is a very insightful video, thank you for putting these together, you're a hero.
The mule is also good for reverse joint legs because of the high quick boost duration combined with high jump distance. As long as you're touching the ground your quick boost will practically fling you
about the 12345 booster: its extra long quick boost duration seems to have an interesting effect on reverse joint legs, that makes their QB leap land much sooner than other boosters. something like 0.8 seconds or so. i use this on a heavyweight RJ build and it's really fun. you get the benefit of the RJ quick boost style without the drawback of being stuck in the air for 2 seconds. the downside of course is you are very slow when not quick boosting. try it out!
@@yozul1 yeah you're right, i was too focused on the gimmick. i switched my build to the NGI and it just feels better to go way faster even if i'm in the air for longer
So, how annoyed are you about the new patch?
Thanks for the video. Some other people doing build videos dont know what therye talking about. I watched a build video where they guy actually said the ngi 001 was the worst booster in the game. My immediate thought was "are we playing the same game?"
GILLS actually not so bad as long as is pile bunker hold charge
Since pile bunker on charge doesn't have boost melee
QB for tactical confusion
The work you put into these videos is amazing.
I'm sure you already saw the latest patch that added system recovery to a bunch of head parts. I'd love to get your report on whether or not they've actually changed anything.
very good disclaimed at the Start, I was maaaaaaaybe about to click... skip.... but only maybe ofc... *blush*
The Buerzel with the Altitude chest is INSANE, here is my AB build that works super well for those intrested! So much fun and the weapons compliment eachother perfectly! Such a uniqe build compared to whats out there! The best part is that it is very viable against all type of AC's it obliterates lightweight AC's.

If you're running a lightweight build optimised for high supply efficiency and have AP lower than 9k, then the BST-G1/P10's low QB cost, low weight and low EN cost all make a BIG difference
Especially when paired with a high booster efficiency core like the Firmeza
I won't lie
I still miss the permanent overboost builds you could make in ACV/ACVD where your generator output is high, booster consumption is low and then you turn on scan mode and you can actually recover your energy while overboosting the whole time.
The point specifically about defense emphasis above 80,000 weight and or staying below a 75,000 threshold for speed single-handedly changed my entire through process when building after doing it for hundreds of hours. Thanks Chrightt!!
A note on "booster speed," as displayed by the speedometer:
You mention that 1 point in booster speed equals ~.283 m/s. I'm not sure what method you're using to calculate in-game meters, but assuming some fuzziness in your estimations, my guess is that the ratio should be almost exactly .2778, as that's how many m/s you get for 1 km/h. I'm almost certain AC uses km/h for their speedometers; iirc it's even directly stated as such in the HUD in AC4.
Edit: I paused the video and wrote this comment before I got to the part where you timed distance to the enemy with the in-game targeting. Given that, I stand on my assumption that the speedometer is definitely displaying units in km/h. Seems crazy to me to do so when everything you fight is inside of like, 300 meters, and you're moving at speeds so fast that it doesn't make sense to use the same units you would in an automobile, (you're never going ANYWHERE for an hour at a constant speed in an AC, while you do change directions often every few seconds or so, so knowing your speed per second is much more valuable,) but the US Air Force still measures airspeed for their fighters in fucking *knots,* so what do I know?
Welp... balance patch dropped... but i guess mostly is just upward thrust changes.
BST-G2/PO6SPD is my favourite booster for reverse jointed legs, fast asf thruster🥵 and I’ve got jump distance anyways as long as I land before boosting again
Tbh I’ve been running a fireza frame with the alula, sticking (at the moment) to a dual assault rifle and dual missile build. My choice missiles are the single fire cluster missiles or the 10x launcher. On chapter 3 at the mo and it’s been killing it since chapter 2. Tempted to try a needle rifle and dual songbirds combo for it when I get the needle guns, but so far, it’s a down and dirty ground fighting beast.
Still not as fast as I would like though, I feel really slow compared to ac4/4a in my go-to Aaliyah with a similar setup (dual bff ar, salines and flares with backup blades)
Lemme just say I love how fromsoft made it so that you can stand on helicopters and the dead robotic carcasses of your enemies. It’s little things like that, that make this game that much more amazing.
Thanks for the directional tip for the BST-G2P06SPD!
So, about the gills, the thing is their upward thrust and energy consumption isn't that bad, which means if you intend to run a heavy build meant to mostly fly, they can be pretty good (third after Gridwalkers and NGI OO1) since their QB cooldown does not drop off to a ridiculous point since it starts so very low.
One question that stuck out in my mind through this video: What would you say is a "good" base speed to aim for? I usually try to stay around ~330 speed, but I don't know if there's any real good average or breakpoint beyond personal preference.
Hello, question for anyone who wants to answer.
Ive been a coral gen junky since i unlocked them. With the new weight changes i wanted to mix it up and run the lighter generator. But i find its resup after redlining to be wayyy to small.
Wondering what the ideal booster would be? No melee. Also curious if the light coral gen is more suited to RJ's instead of bipedal.
Something I want to say that I said in your your most recent video but is worth stating again here, the 12345 boosters are one of the best boosters to use on tetrapod legs while hovering. I don’t know exactly how the math works, but you can reach 600 speed while over 100k weight if you are hovering.
I'm noticing that different boosters are causing my schneider reverse joint AC to reach different altitudes during a grounded quick boost, and this means that the amount of time it spends drifting down changes with it. From what I can tell the altitude reached correlates _inversely_ with jet duration, with the 12345 seeing me fully landed before a Ming Tang can start regenerating.
I think that trying to assess how good certain part types are (legs, cores, generators and boosters) on their own is kind of futile because they depend on each other to perform best.
For example I’ve got a build that uses Ling-tai generator, Ephemera core, Nachtraider legs and the Gills. All these parts have big weaknesses, the generator doesn’t have enough energy to fly for long, equip expensive parts or do many consecutive maneuvers, the legs can’t carry too much weight, the chest can’t take kinetic damage and the boosters are a bit middling on their own, but it all comes together beautifully where the vast majority of those weaknesses are nullified, making the whole much better than the sum of its parts.
I feel like these breakdowns are useful and there’s plenty of reasons to keep making them, but maybe a video on how to create a strong synergy between each individual part on your AC would also be very useful in order to apply the lessons learnt in each individual part breakdown.
1 kilometer per hour translates to 0.278 meters per second, which is pretty close to the 0.283 you estimated, so I figure that the boost speed stat is just given in kph...
I barely switched off of Alula during my whole run to NG++. Wild that my favorite booster was just given to me near the start of the game.
i love your guides as they're useful for acquiring adcanced AC6 information but also because they have a way of making me fall asleep easily
I can't believe it is possible to engineer a scenario where quickboosting is slower in the air. That is ridiculous. What a jank game, I love it.
Does melee attack thrust effect kick range? I'm not specifically interested in if it can deal more damage or impact, just if it extends the range of the kick.
Boii i starting with some classic build and common youtube build . and enjoy the game more with this all raw data profided freely for a PVP mech build fun time !
Total noob to the series but longtime souls fan, your knowledge, effort, and ability to communicate both has been invaluable to me, thank you. ❤
With the recent buffs and nerfs, will you be making re-reviews on things you’ve covered already?
Lol. Fromsoft just buffed boosters the same day this released. Thankfully all of them are just upward thrust 😂
My biggest area of difficulty is that I love to write big emotional scenes and have to cut back my descriptions, especially in combat scenes.
That's the thing with IB booster tho, you don't have to think much if you're already used to using coral generators.
Just noticed that speedometer after beating the game once. If I didn’t watch your video, I wouldn’t even notice
I'm thinking the units of velocity are likely to be kilometres per hour. The conversion is very close to what you measured and it's a common unit for the speed of vehicles.
So now you gotta revisit all your guides. Balance patch touched almost everything
I'm pretty sure fromsoft has an employee dedicated solely to notifying the HQ when chright releases a new video
