    The OG Nightfall is honestly not a bad build if you just update the internals. Pilebunker and Songbirds do 90% of the work anyway. The AR can be surprisingly useful, I just think the flanking missiles are shit

      Actually seems pretty doable, obviously cant just have the gun arms sadly, but the 12 cell vertical missile launcher and grenade cannon is pretty easy to replicate.

      There are a lot of different versions of Nineball, and the closest I've been able to replicate is the original Armored Core 1 Nineball. The only thing that is different is the main energy weapon, but the dual missiles, grenade launcher, and moonlight blade are all the same. Actual parts are just look-alikes.
      To be fair, any assortment of weapon arms in VI would be a fantastic addition and it makes me sad that there aren't any. Thankfully there isn't anything to do with Kojima Particles!

    • @Naisarias
      @Naisarias  Рік тому +5

      Honestly, I've gotten pretty fixated on the nexus version since it gives me a great excuse to use the earshot grenade cannon so I'm probably going to do a build based on that. Worried about being overburdened quite a bit though, the big missile launcher, earshot, and two rifles? Gonna be HEAVY

    • @Naisarias
      @Naisarias  Рік тому +8

      Spent some more time thinking about and just decided to make a version that pulls from all the different versions and take a few creative liberties with it, Nineball has changed a lot over the games anyways so it seems a bit unnecessary to get fixated on just one version.

  • @MadassAlex
    @MadassAlex Рік тому +1

    I went in a very different direction with a spiritual successor build. It keeps the headpiece but uses the Hal legs, Alba body, and VP 460 arms. The right hand weapon is a Curtis rifle, although that can easily be traded out as needed. In the left hand it uses the laser dagger for consistency, which is paired with assault burst during ACS break to replace pile bunker damage. The shoulders include a songbird and the 6-pod missile system, mostly because it's quick to reload and attain target lock. This leaves room for a VP-20C generator with weight to spare, and depending on your booster, it can approach 350 boost speed.
    The idea is that the large generator, laser dagger, and assault armour are all mutually supportive elements in closer quarters. The remaining weapons allow fighting at medium range, with the Curtis' charge shot sort of standing in for a shotgun under some circumstances; otherwise, it can just push out shots to maintain stability pressure. Slap on a battle-damaged, greyish aesthetic and you're good to go.
    Personally, I like this build as a way to train skill in lighter generalist setups, but due to the open weight and energy on the build, it can be flexibly built upon to serve other roles. Just be aware that it dives to around 300 boost speed very quickly as you add heavier pieces.

  • @Kenshinjmc
    @Kenshinjmc Рік тому

    I too made some improvements to Nightfall as a build. What I decided to do is to encapsulate the spirit of a true raven while retaining key parts. Meaning, I kept the Head, core, arms the same but I swapped the legs out for Spring Chicken for better jump height and increased QB distance. Next I also swapped the Assault rifle for the larger handgun. Kept Pile bunker because that's his iconic weapon, then I used the bigger coral generator, FCS-G2/SLT FCS, and the Gridwalker for its slightly better Melee thrust and style points. Back mounts I use the Stun Needle launcher, and BML-G2/P19SPL-12. I added glossy black accents, Nightfall's emblem, and now I call it ('cuz I'm a gundam nerd), Nightfall Amazing. The build is brutal, can consistently land pile bunker hits, and even if I'm too far out of range I can stun needle punish. the split missiles are shot from the air while closing in and they do pretty awesome impact buildup and can contribute to ACS so long as you keep pressure with the handgun. It's also worth it to kick, and jab with the 'bunker and also to dart up into the air to make counterplay and melee counters more difficult for enemy AC's. That's how I chose to fly on borrowed wings. It's still not perfect, but hey, it looks cool and performs better than average now so win I guess lol.

  • @picallo1
    @picallo1 Рік тому +3

    I dont mind the Scudder assault rifle. The rapid fire is nice and allows you to keep the trigger down without it charging some special attack. Its impact isnt great but the number of rounds it fires easily allows it to keep pace with some of the higher impact rifles. Nightfall totally whooped me our first go around but after I put my melee weapon back on it was lights out pretty easily.

    arms: Nachtreiher 46E
    torso: VP-40S
    legs: VP-422
    another thing to note is that if you want the best possible quickboost performance, you need to pay attention to "QB Reload Ideal Weight" and compare it to your Total Weight - the build in this video goes over the ideal weight of the Alula thrusters. i don't have any concrete evidence of how much worse this makes your performance but yeah

    • @Seinglede
      @Seinglede Рік тому +1

      You can actually see in his stats that the impact isn't actually that big. The boosters have a base quick boost cooldown of 0.35. If you look at his stats his current cooldown is 0.38, so only a difference of .03. This is the only thing that going over weight affects besides a heavier build moving slower in general.

    • @zj6074
      @zj6074 Рік тому +1

      Going a little overweight on the thrusters isn't a huge deal. Its when you go way over by 15k or more that you start seeing substantial degradation. Always good to compare your expanded thruster stats to other options when building for that reason.

    • @Naisarias
      @Naisarias  Рік тому +2

      As Seinglede said, it only makes a small difference in this case but I did actually consider using the gills for this exact reason. The reason I went for the alulas instead is for the higher boost speed, which I find helps strafe out of bullet/missile fire quite a bit as well as making it easier to get in close for the pile bunker hits.

    They need to make it so that her AC has a special frame that looks like a better version of our original frame. Because let’s be honest. The frame looks sick already especially when you add on the head piece. She deserves more love. Everything about her setup minus the head piece is ass. Her arms need basho arm melee specialization and medium firearm spec. Her legs need much higher load limit because damn Bruv ….. Her Core should just be balanced all around being not too overpowering but horrible. I’m sure if FromSoft did that, we would see players incorporating that core more into their builds more. Just simply balance her parts all around and make it an entirely separate frame option from the starter one and I think everyone would be satisfied. Name it something like CC-3000 Orbiter Nightfall, AC-3000 Combat Arm, 2C-3000 Runner, HC-3000/BC Shade Eye.

      The crater you find his AC in also has the remains of an AC transport helicopter like the one 621 uses as a home base.
      It's implied he got caught while traveling and had to leave his AC behind when he bailed out of the chopprr.
