For the paint I’m using (200, 215, 235 for the white for almost all the parts) and (10, 75, 155 for the blue only on the “sub” part of the AC and also the “support” for the core only.) The “device’s” blue is (5, 130, 255) in case you’re on another platform but want a similar paint job.
Chrightt I always look forward to your videos. They are extremely informative. Overall amazing production and you always give us a share code, making it available to pilot even if it isn’t cross platform by giving us not only the build, but the paint breakdown so we can give it your custom paint job if we so choose should we favor it. Thanks for everything you do brother. You’re much appreciated.
How much damage would you say your fat chickens kick does on average? The numbers are hard to see but I believe I saw something around 1.8k? If that’s accurate, that’s a shît ton of damage. That’s almost a charged harris shot which are known to hit upwards of 2.3k
love the spring chicken legs. the kick is amazing for up close fights as you can cancel the full kick animation by quick boosting, makes the somewhat clunky spring chickens a little bit nimbler
I made a melee spring chicken build (laser lance!), but never used kicks. Now I have to go back and try this!
Nearly all of my builds use the HRJ legs. I wish there were more to choose from. I don't know how I lived with the puny biped jump. Biped really needs something to make them more worthwhile in comparison.
@@Raso719 agreed, my two best builds are reverse joint leg. I think making biped legs the most energy efficient could be a way to do it, some boosters work better if you keep your energy low. Did something like that with my kasuar leg build and I can now get decent quickboosts out of the gridwalker boosters lol
Oh nice I forgot you could cancel the kick if you feel like you’re going to miss
@@robertwalton434I’m sure with the rush from the laser lance combined with the reverse joint kicks you’re bum rushing people to the utmost lol
A new build, a new (successful) summoning of the patch notes! good to see a laser orbit build, and as a RJ leg enjoyer this really hit my alley, ty mate.
I have been seeing a lot of laser orbit builds lately in top tourney builds, they do a ton of damage if they hit and the fact that they follow the enemy, I sometimes use one on each shoulder and stagger their deployment so essentially they’re always pressuring your opponent!
kicking during an assault boost qb drastically improves the tracking, to the point of almost never missing your enemy. Its a pretty useful thing to remember, if youre trying to end a fight fast or just otherwise dont have to worry about consuming a bunch of EN for one kick
What are you on about lol? There is no AB QB. Hes just inputting kick during AB startup to buffer it.
i wasnt referring to anything done in the video, i was talking about the quick-boost (qb) you can perform during an assault boost, and how kicking in the middle of it will increase your tracking by a lot. Was basically just offering another tip for this build
@@ethanwashington6789 oh shit really? I need to try this...
Very classy of you to include the last fight. Basically showing every build has a counter
For all the work you do, I hope you get super famous.
Thanks! 🙌
Kicking is extremely powerful, as is assault boost drifting (not circle boosting, turning in ab then wuick boosting out of it) ill upload a video of me doing it tomorrow, I have other concepts too. I'm at work all the time and I barely have the time To play nest, I do Like to get on there to try out the builds I use in the story mode
ah man I thought I was the only one that figured that out! a quick zig zag is amazing for dodging most things while making space. My favorite kick/boost trick so far is kick to break stagger, melee power strike, then follow up with another kick if they havent thrown on pulse barrier or assault armor
any chance you could do reviews of characters ac’s and how you’d optimize them? would be cool to see how good like steel haze or locksmith are for example
Okay, I can try doing some of these.
I think NIGHTFALL has a great need for it. It actually sucks a lot, and I haven't found a way to make it decent yet. Also, half of my NG+ playthrough was on the back of STEEL HAZE, and I'll say, after the Sempu got its ammo buff, the only weak part of the build is the laser twinblade. It's all around a great PvE AC and my personal favourite build is basically an optimized version of it.
I used to hate the way the main dish core looked until I colored it right. Love your color scheme here bro. It flows well. Doesn’t make those side things hanging off the front of the core look weird lol.
Haha yeah, main dish can look nice I think, but I can't get Tian Qiang to look nice at all.
@@Chrightt it _really_ lives up to its role as the Big Metal Brick of the part list
@@Chrightt That is something that bugs me since it seems that by AC's best version would use that core, but it doesnt look as good with the Mind Beta legs
@@Chrightt Yea that core is bad build as fuck bro. I pride myself on my artistic capabilities and I think I managed to make it look good. It depends on your color setup as with any other setup. The Tian-Quang is just so boxy looking. It has such an antiquated look compared to the other cores and it looks as if Fromsoft built that core to be mainly used to tank setups. But try this out , Melander C3 head, Tian Quang Core, Melander legs, basho arms with the second green military color scheme. I’m rocking the scutum shield, pile bunker, duckett or couquilett, and earshot. Tell me how you like that look. I’m gonna put some decals on it to snazz up the core and make it look sick. I have some sweet ideas rolling around in my noggin that I think will change the game!
Man i love these vids and breakdowns you do! Honest and not afraid to show mistakes. Ive made a lot of awesome builds using your advice, with my recent one netting me a tournament win!
Awesome! I haven't played AC6 in a week or so (been too busy) but can't wait to try this build
The 2 cell homing missles paired with some other shoulder weapon or even by themselves are amazing for kick builds. I have one with a very similar concept except its one Ludlow and one shotgun. Assault boosting around and shooting while the homing missles chase them and getting that perfectly timed kick and letting the missles hit is so satisfying
Thanks for the patch, Chrightt
Loving these videos, I literally update my loadouts after every new video. My personal favourite is the Steel Sky: Azure since I just changed the legs to the heavy tank ones, changed one of the back laser cannons to the Aurora and one of the arm laser rifles to a hand missile launcher. The amount of people who ragequit against me is pretty large and often I cannot wish my opponent a good match because they leave before I can. The game changer was definitely the usage of the VE-20-B generator for the insane amount of damage it can output with these weapons.
I’m honesty excited to run this because I think it’ll improve my game a lot. I find myself being scared to get close to enemies, so playing something that forces me to rush in, *and* rewards me with slowmo kick kills is perfect
beautiful build bro
This is pretty neat. I had some luck with a tank-kicking fortaleza AC using ludlows and earshots.
Chrightt out here summoning patch notes again
I made a lightweight version using Kasuar legs & dual handguns. This high stability version feels nice go a little rougher.
Ok, this one looks like a lot of fun. I'm going to have to try it, though I'll probably try Scudders or Turners instead of the Ludlows, just for the kill the Redguns mission.
Pretty similar to the build I used to beat the game the first time. Heavy build using the Spring Chicken and Double Ludlows. I found it quite effective, even back on the release patch. It was funny watching people complaing about the wheelchair legs, zimms, gats, and songbirds, meanwhile I was tearing through the game using none of those parts.
oh hey, my pve build is here
My favorite moment was when the counterbuild was revealed "Oh"
I switch the ludlows for shotguns and brought the huxleys, the game plan is to kick into shoot, repeat until death
this build is so fun tx
Here is a build idea. Actually, there are two. Note: This is somewhat a long post.
1) Hover tank legs, Hal core (for generator stats). Dual wield VE-66LRB, use VP-60 LCS as a shoulder weapon and Coral Shield (because you can shoot through it). Use arms that have the best firearm specialization while still being able to hold the LRBs. Head is up to choice but maybe prioritize stability and AP. Also use Pulse Armor. Generator is Coral Generator or that generator that allows for the second best firearm specialization (the best energy firearm generator does not have enough output). OST uprages focus mainly on energy damage, direct hit damage and damage reduction. FCS is middle and close range.
2) Alternative to the first built. This trades mobility for extra tankiness (AP, stability). Take the heaviest tank legs. Rest of the parts should focus also on HP and stability. Take the generator that has the 2nd highest energy firearm spec and test whichever of the 3 heaviest (best AP/stability) cores recharges energy the fastest. Use that one. Same weapons, same FCS, same OST upgrades and pulse armor as in the build 1.
A bit of background:
This build is "tank version" of the so-called "Lobster" build that terrifies people in tournaments due to its incredible damage output and high defense.
However, these two versions I described trade a bit of that damage for extra survivability. You could use another LCS instead of Coral shield.
Strategy:
When attacking and anticipating a high-damage attack from an opponent, activate Coral shield and keep it active while returning fire. Do not charge you laser cannons but keep rapid firing. This way your dps and impact dps are better. When the shield is on cooldown, try dodging attacks with your boosters, and when your stagger meter is almost full, reset it by activating Pulse Armor. When Pulse Armor runs out, your Coral shield should be pretty much fully recharged. Use Coral shield again. At this point, you would have very likely either staggered and/or destroyed the enemy AC since your DPS is so high and you are able to slow down or prevent yourself from getting staggered 3 times in a row. With this strategy, it is very hard to get staggered, especially when using the heavy tank treads.
Only a super speedy sniper build or speedy 4x missile build can counter this. When enemy ACs are within FCS range, you will always, in theory, win the DPS race. In some instances, you may use map cover to break line of sight and to recharge your abilities.
Cloud me
People might make fun of you for summoning patch notes, but you can't beat them buffing the *centerpiece* of today's build a few hours after you posted it.
Not sure how, but your vid somehow triggered my Alexa device and searched for 'DAMAGE', which startled me btw
🙄 kick DAMAGE!
I use a similar build called M0NK-3 with dual stun guns and soup (colored yellow, of course)
Here let me spread the new toxic meta since RJ kick is the new quad kick, activate bullet orbit -> AB (buerzel to add more radioactive component) -> land kick -> charged shot harris (will always land for some reason they need to nerf the kick poise) -> bunker -> disband lobby / kick you.
Absolutely love the data analysis in your videos. Is there anyway I can get a copy of your spreadsheets? Would love to run some functions to generate pivot tables on DPS incorporating generator type and status effects and share back to you
spreadsheet link is in description of the video.
Do you think this build would work with a melee (if so wich) and the new shoulder MGs?
Also is it still viable after the kick delay changes?
Are there any other leg types with kicks that stand out? I like to kick but i'd like to know if any of them are better or if some are too bad to bother with
is it _really_ off-meta if it's doing RJ kickspam?
The laser orbits are a fun pairing though, most people would jump for the Huxleys right away for the insane stagger potential between the kit.
*Gets hit. Dodges a minute later.*
"Ok, late dodge for me."
Bro, same.
Honestly, the fact that the second guy you fought pulled out a very blatant counter build for this thing shows just how effectively bringing an off-meta build and using it well can throw a person off/make them pull out an assembly that straight-up negates your main strategy out of salty gamer rage.
Might be a silly request, but could you make a build that uses the Arquebus Long-range FCS? The handheld weapons in the game often have pitiful effective range, so long-range builds are at a disadvantage. It would be more of a proof-of-concept: can a long-range, "walking fortress"-style AC be effective in this game?
dual bad-cooks right now effectively counter all other builds 😂
00:01 English Pokemon name vs Japanese Pokemon name
🤣
Why does the gameplay framerate feel low? I've never noticed anything like that on your videos before.
Also, I love this build! It looks a lot like a very lightweight build I made, but it actually has a better plan for when a stagger happens. I like your build a lot more.
Does it? Might be due to YT I feel like cause my recording setup hasn't changed at all.
I always get outclassed by some crazy stun/ melee combos and it’s very frustrating.
With this build if you're fighting a melee try staying around 110m~150m. If you approach less than 110m do your kick because kicks beat out melee weapon in terms of priority (unless they are already in animation like laser blade charged).
I wonder if this build is still relevant since all the patches..
Man i absolutely hate the hard lock auto tracking nonsense. Thats a decent build. Synergy with the orbits is pretty clever, but i think some missiles would actually compliment this. Verts or pincers.
could i use the Chang Chen machine guns over the Ludlows?
Yeah, you might get a bit of sporadic recoil near the end of each mag though
Hell, I run a similar setup with gats. Recoil is horrific though
@@krustykrusader1702 just use good recoil arms
@@vacuousloki1648 recoil arms don't do anything if you're using both gats. Even wrecker arms barely help
The Wrecker arms are good with one gatling, but both? Yeah it's going to spread eventually.
How is reverse joints orbitals machine guns off meta? It's the only thing I've been playing against!
Make a 20b build next?
My Northern Skies build runs the 20b ua-cam.com/video/Ul9_Fd-dg0g/v-deo.html
@@Chrighttfun fact: you can fit 4 energy weapons on a ve20b generator without the back weapons being auroras or going all pulse. The laser pistols and pulse cannons can be made to fit with a bit of compromise elsewhere using basho legs, mind beta head, and the melander c3 arms, along with cheaper boosters and one of the lower cost close range fcs. It is absolutely devastating and can hold up really well at both close and medium range.
I would have taken laser pistols instead.
VE series generator has quite poor energy comparatively and the cost is incomparable.
Does going overweight make much of a difference?
It can slow down your speed by quite a margin depending on how much you go over.
do u play with controller?
mouse and keyboard
shoot it with stun needle and stun gun and you have FRIED CHICKEN !!!
Now do this with shotguns
New regulation update in 3 hours
Why that core? the other heavier core is better, from Arquibus
Ayy! They patched today (11-7-23), normally I wouldn't make such an off-topic comment but, first glance, looks like a lot of parts got tweaked somewhat.
Looks like all buffs this time, so the build still seems good. Spring chickens got a ton of buffs, wow
I’m just here to laugh at the thought of a kicking build being off meta.
I think the ORBTs are really underrated, they're great for keeping up pressure and maximizing stuns.
I combine them with a Wueger/Laser Dagger build that just melts AC's and bosses.
