zero's moving targets

[zero_kanipan]

the idea for this one is to close in really fast and blade. the pixie and missle are just for the damage as the unit closes in.

no idea what i was thinking when i made this one. guess i was trying to go for energy efficiency.

Again idea is to close in really fast on the opponent. Linear gun is for hit and some stun. This one is prone to overheating XD

Idea was to make the target overheat. Grenades to stun, geryon to push them into read, harpy to peck them while they cant move. when the 'nades run out, i can shift to blade mode with the machine gun and elf3.

Another try at a build focusing on making the opponent overheat. Same tactics as spicyCurry except only shots with the Orc. after that its blade mode.

so thats all i got for now. comments, suggestions, bouts of laughter, jeering, jokes at the expense of my noobness are all welcome XD

[NiX]

Hey Zero, how about you post individual threads for these ACs in the LR Designs forums. I'd love to critique.

[zero_kanipan]

ok, they're up in design now.

[NiX]

Just build something using a combination of these parts. There's more to it of course but this'll start you off.

head: eye3 or drone or s2 + starter back radar
core:
standard- UA, U2, 99UL, cronus, or U4 (U3),
EO- GAEA, SELENA, 89E
Overboost- UL2, EOS

arms: lemur, macaque, lemur2, loris, a72f, gibbon, FL, etc.
legs: dingo2, cougar2, FA, panther

basic internal combos:
lotus + gull + ananda
g91 + VULTURE2 + ananda
lotus + vulture2 + ananda for OB designs

right arm: R2, R3, RL, RS, BP, PIXIE3, 98L, SHADE, HOLLOW, KRSW, sylph, HP
left arm: R3, HP, griffon, sylph, etc

back weapons: 69M, 78MV, HARPY, NYMPHE, 75MT, KARURA, KINNARA, SPARTOI, etc

extensions: RM, RM2, RM3, GAR, JIREN

Tune whichever way gives you the most stats per point. Or tune toward where your AC lacks or where you want your AC to focus. Note that you get diminishing returns the more points you allocate to an attribute. If you're too lazy for that, 5 on shell defense and 5 on energy defense works best most of the time.

Tune most generators mostly toward output. Tune gull mostly toward heat. Vulture2 can go pretty much however you want.


I'm not saying those are the only usable parts. They're just the first ones that came to mind for me.

[zero_kanipan]

ok i'll try these out tomorrow evening. thanks ^^

[NiX]

I also noticed that you're not a fan of CODON. Turning is a huge deal in Armored Core. It's much more valuable than the EC op.

[zero_kanipan]

never thought of going for increased turning. i tend to burn through my energy so i put in the increase capacity. i'll try using the codon later.

[NiX]

Remember that the larger your generator's capacity, the longer it takes to completely refill again. And this is especially true when you're in the charging state. That's why energy capacity is a double-edged sword.
