The most common Armored Core 6 advice are tips that usually revolve around build knowledge, which arm and shoulder units to equip in certain situations, boosters, etc. But some weirdos look for more practical tips, speedrun strats, and various helpful techs that go much further than just using zimmermans.

[@JamesSchulte]

Tried it and it felt like one of the many generic trash tier MMO you can find in the various app stores. Which sucks cause I really liked the 4th and 5th games

[@hudhouse99]

On the final boss here, I'd honestly suggest going to blitz them until 50% cause then the side minions instantly explode. Then you can play the rest as slow as you need.

[@WorkedSix28zerozero1]

Agreed. Trying to deal with the minions while getting rushed is a source for getting screwed

[@jhsrt985]

Play slow while he's teleporting across the screen insta slashing me. You and rust are not helping

[@yukomikoshiba1961]

I find the coral oscillator very effective against ALLMIND BOSS and WALTER so I run with Oscillator plus the redshift nebula and two stun needles.. somehow the ALLMIND BOSS cna be cheesed up by spamming fully charged oscillator on the right timing and then using right arm weapon to quickly stagger them preferably a high staggering mid range weapon then stun needle the shit out of it

[@cybercybex]

I honestly consider "Escort the Strider" an unofficial boss fight as well. That mission gave me more trouble than any of the one on one fights in the game.

[@SinHurr]

Quad legs or an ultralight AC to stay off the ground helped me quite a bit

[@KazSlacksOff]

None of the enemies there are resistant to explosives, so missiles, grenade launchers and bazookas will usually deal with them quickly. The MTs circle around in consistent curve so Missiles have a very easy time chasing them around. They also have a habit of stopping after a certain time, so you can blast them with a launcher or bazooka during that window. For the Wheels, missiles can also chase them easily when they're rolling away from you while bazookas and grenade launchers can catch them when they're turning or charging at you.

[@Tsuchiryu]

Late reply, but for those still struggling with that mission, a missile carpet tetrapod build is the best for that mission. Keep hovering at around 200 altitude or so and focus on one at a time, waiting for the missile lock-on to conclude before firing. That same build also works great against O'Keeffe.

[@julmdamaslefttoe3559]

Explosives, and a lot of em, Dont have to perma hover so you dont need tetrapod but hovering for 10+ seconds helps, Dual Large Rocket launchers and grenade launchers, did the job, Even the zimmer/Lance combo failed. only time ever.

[@Dessiekens]

if your fast enough in damaging allmind igauzu in the second phase, you can also ignore the c-spiders altogether when he goes to his third phase since they'll be destroyed automatically, as i found trying to deal with the spiders first was more difficult, as arye often aggroed onto one of the spiders, which leaves allmind free to butt fuck your ac while you try to ignore them

[@kirbyis4ever]

I've found that whenever you have backup they'll go into a 1v1 with whatever extra enemy is there or at least draw fire until you try to interfere, at which point they focus on you instead. Rusty does a great job drawing aggro from the high mobility LC or the HC - same for Kate drawing aggro against the Cataphract and one of the Ekdromoi

[@0f7t15]

Ngl ayre made that fight so much harder by blowing iguazu out of the way of my chainsaw i was charging up for the second i staggered him

[@dragonenderfowl5040]

A few more things: 1: If you picked up the laser blade in Chapter 1, switch back to the Pulse Blade for Balteus. It being in the pulse category allows it to do extra shield damage. Same applies to Arquebus and Ayre. 2: When Allmind transitions to its third phase, both Spiders will be instakilled along with Ayre. So long as you know how to dodge their plasma attacks, you can save your ammo for Allmind.

[@QuestionableObject]

All melee weapons actually have PA intereference, not just the pulse blade

[@igor_kossov]

Also, the laser blade is a piece of shit just generally.

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

It wouldn't work for Ayre because her shield is coral, not pulse, so PA interference won't work. This actually applies to you as well, using coral generators changes expansions to coral, meaning pulse protection/armor and terminal armor are now coral based and are not affected by PA interference. Assault armor also goes from pulse to coral, which is arguably a downgrade because one of its best uses in PVP is to instantly break pulse protection shields.

[@purplehaze2358]

I'm impressed you managed to resist pointing out the fact that the V.IV rusty shares your channel name.

[@sky1arc219]

So we're basically ignoring Invincible Rummy I see? Not like he puts up much of fight anyway.

[@kenganmmvs8615]

😂

[@thanetheforsaken8769]

SO we are also ignoring Rokumonsen?!?!

[@Poldovico]

@@thanetheforsaken8769 On the flip side, I didn't even know Red was in the game.

[@involuntaryanalysis]

@@Poldovico In my head canon, 621 is constantly mistaking Iguazu for Red.

Here's a tip: make sure you know where your firing buttons are

[@dylanwarner6035]

Just the quick tip

[@risu2312]

I want rusty to put his ortus tip in my coral thruster

[@risu2312]

I want him to liberate my asshole

[@Raine_Sakan]

@@risu2312yo same

[@TheFearsomeRat]

5:30 Don't even do that, just assault boost directly behind the tower, this dodges the Laser Sweep and the Missiles from the Warship, and puts you in a good spot to either go maul the PCA MTs or the LC Sniper that has just landed above you.

[@monolus6321]

Better yet you can sit on the edge just above the tower and watch as the sniper kindly waits to get into position before it actually cares enough to do anything to you

[@TheFearsomeRat]

@@monolus6321 I would have mentioned that just the Warship's bottom missile launchers are operational and if your in the open the entire time it'll get off 2-3 volleys for you to dodge as it passes over.

[@cwbomba13]

In the O'Keefe fight you can also just drop down to the bottom of the arena, and he'll give up his aerial superiority to follow you

[@LocoFighterable]

I just feel like none of the KZbinrs seem to notice that the smart cleaner has another huge weak spot on the top of his chimney... XD

[@gryphose1849]

Probably because it's harder to hit than the vent on the front.

[@LocoFighterable]

@@gryphose1849 In my opinion, this is only the case of you take tanks.

[@gryphose1849]

@@LocoFighterable I mean, personally, I'm always going above and raining explosives into the stack. Just feels safer than trying to dodge the massive superheated chainsaw arms.

[@ishakuraigami6171]

I main Reverse Joints in Gen 4, 5, and 6, so hitting that smoke stack is a joke. Absolutely dominate him, especially in the return fight on the good ending.

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

It's so much easier to hit too, it's bigger, doesn't move around nearly as much, and is an easy target for vertical missiles (provided you launch them low enough to not hit the ceiling).

[@KazSlacksOff]

For the G4 Volta and G5 Iguazu, you can also agro them and fall back to the tetrapod you needed to kill for combat logs (on the waterfall to the right of the spot when you make the choice to attack them). The tetrapod will be a bigger help than the RLF MTs in the map. For the final Iguazu fight, ignore the Sea Spiders in the second phase since they have piss poor accuracy and they automatically die when Iguazu reaches 50% hp anyway. If you're having trouble chasing him down to stagger him, Missiles can actually track him quite easily because he stops dodging like a normal AC.

[@fordvockell]

[@josephwilson6272]

You can't kick at that point in the game I don't believe... Unless you mean the fight on the Xylem

[@gryphose1849]

If you're talking about the first mission, you can't kick, even on Replay (you are auto-sortied with the default setup, no OS upgrades) Xylem refight, on the other hand, that's a solid strategy.

[@GreyKingZero]

[@pillagius]

Pretty nice. Wish I knew them, before a number of frustrating trial and error attempts :D IB-01:C actually pretty bad vs active homing missiles. It may zip around quite fast, but with ungodly long time something like BML-G3 P05FCN-02 can chase the target, the moment boss stops, it inevitably takes all 4 rockets up its tight coral exhaust and gets stunned. Pair BMLs with FCS-G2 P10SLT for quicker missile lock on, maybe add the lazor lance to quickly close the distance and capitalize on stuns.

[@shenders1960]

Just finished this game wish I found this video before I did. Every help I found on reddit was just play 2 stun needles and 2 zimmermans weapons I hate so I slogged through Snail Baltheus for hours with my mog and build I liked changing the odd couple weapons. I remember reading reviews of AC6 and it was all like yeah its all about changing builds to beat enemies didnt realise they meant change to one build to beat all enemies. Anyways great vid

[@TitaRussellTrails]

Professor snail

[@ciaranartorias264]

another thing for nepenthes - pulse shields. just look straight down and fall. you'll take some damage, but it makes it so much faster that unless you really screw up you get easy s rank.

[@iliaskaramanis2884]

I already had all S ranks and still learned quite a bit. That Ice worm tech would have been very useful. Also didn't know ammo is such a big deal. I did it all on pace/ little damage taken.

[@therealludwigtheholyblade]

Thank you Rusty for reminding me that I keep forgetting to buy this game

[@luna7157]

A note on V.III O'Keefe- it is possible to kite him down to the pit at the bottom of the arena, near the worm cave (which is blocked off by an invisible wall). For a melee-only run, this is crucial. He doesn't like dropping his hover mode, so he'll get caught in the rocks and pinned with successive attacks.

[@stilljay7757]

This is beautiful more ac6 content please sir

[@Regibois]

My man missed the steel haze Ortus fight

[@Weed_Dante]

For allmind iguazu you should just ignore the spiders because most of the time they'll focus on ayre and they die once you get iguazu to 50% anyway

[@soupsonton7348]

8:07 nice Xavier reference there. Clever

[@Fauix]

I got a few of my own Sea spider: when the spider does the big slam attack, you can pretty consistently dodge it by going towards it, through its legs, as opposed to going up or away Nepenthes: Put on a high energy resistance frame and a shield and you can sit in the little nook where the bridges meet the center platform and fall straight down. Yoh will barely get hit and what does hit you you will barely feel. Allmind/Iguazu: Missiles + Hard lock + Run away = kekw. Double hand missile + double coral missile (hidden part you get on the mission just before) with a heavy frame, coral gen, and the ng001 thrusters for vertical performance and just go up and down while back strafing to dodge everything

[@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch]

You don't need to fight Ring Freddie after picking up the combat log from the wreck. Just fly away and he'll just go back.

[@kirbyis4ever]

Thats actually a great tip if you aren't interested in getting the log he drops for killing him. That singular mission has no checkpoints and until you're VERY good you might not last the whole mission. The HC is a big meany!

[@gryphose1849]

Really, the only reason to fight him is for the log. Otherwise, if you're just trying to S rank, you're better off not even going over there.

[@javontagilbert5247]

I've watch your bloodborne video an was inspired to start it again. Wish me luck.

[@beansnrice321]

I somehow killed Walter in seconds. Pretty sure it was just from running duel pre-nerf stun needles.

[@gryphose1849]

Had the least issue with him out of all the final bosses, myself. His rifle and blade are almost too easy to slip around and punish.

[@lesslighter]

He has the same life as an AC.... killing Walter in seconds is "easy" you just have to shove down a giant pole into the core with Basho arms

[@Blakobness]

I did the exact opposite for fighting All Mind Iguazu, his buddies in phase 1 can be very disruptive if you focus him down directly, and the Sea Spider lites actually don't do all that much in phase 2 and can be fully ignored. Apart from one instance where one swooped in off screen and hit me with a melee.

[@eljoven732]

he keep one shotting me on the 3rd phase lol i am so tired its been 3 days now and i have yet to beat him because of the one shot moves he has and how tanky he is as well.

[@Blakobness]

@@eljoven732 The Ibis, Ayre, and All Mind Iguazu fight are all boss battles where I felt I had to change my strategy to overcome them. Instead of being aggressive and chasing them down, playing more defensively and making distance and waiting for openings more like a Souls game was a more helpful strategy. The melee attacks are what usually gets me, so I would try to mostly stay grounded until I see one coming and try avoiding by jumping at the last moment using reverse joints, combining with quick boosting back and to the side, or jumping and trying to cross over them. Sometimes they just have way too good tracking, you'll have to play around with the timing.

[@eljoven732]

​@Blakobness yeah I have changed strategy like 8x and I cannot beat him 😮‍💨 i have no problem getting to the 3d phase with all repair kits he basically one shots me every time or I get obliterated because I run out of EN. I am starting to think this was just a poor design of a boss fight, because I have never had any issues with the other boss fights

[@malum9478]

nah you may just wanna work on your evasion bro, bursting down iguazu is way easier and more efficient than trying to deal with all of his adds

[@eljoven732]

@malum9478 I have no problem with the adds, I can make to the 3rd without using a single repair kit, it's just the 3rd phase, he has suck a massive hit box and even when he barely hits me I take so much dmg. The boss fight is broken 🤕

[@joshberg307]

I'm gonna edit the tip against the 2nd helicopter. If you take out all the snipers first, moving in a box shape from right, pushing to the one on the highest tower, dashing to the furtherest one from there then taking the one out on the center you are near a cluster of 3 xylem defense droids, these can be more effective if your generator doesn't recover as quickly or you aren't using tetrapod legs. I used this with the spring chicken legs to almost always hide in the city then apply pressure. When stunned the droids do help out a lot and I only had to 2 stun it twice to take it out.

[@arcanemularen2516]

hey where was the other other rusty fight with infinite energy?

[@mikeoshea9869]

Pilebunked his ass before he knew I was there

[@naktiluka]

Most difficult boss for me was Arquebus Balteus, and seems he was so difficult that no tips can help with him XD

[@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch]

It may feel awkward to use but the chainsaw is the best weapon against him. 3 charged connects and 95% of his hp is gone. Use the bubble blower to erase his shield. Got a video for it.

[@lesslighter]

Use the same build Vaati uses to erase ordinary balteus IT WORKS bubble guns and dual shot guns will still melt it I can not comment on the beyblade lasers he does though but altitude helps so.... Gridwalkers? Killing the smart cleaner with dual shotguns though maybe a tad different but should be doable with rusty at your side

[@Mare_Man]

Can't go wrong with the Double Trouble

[@Gutgash]

Can you do a video on Lies of P It's basically a new souls like game

[@QuestionableObject]

For Nepenthes, I don't even activate the platform, just go over to the nearest corner near the wall and just freefall

[@japandrewww7197]

for the helicopter escort, just wait under the helicopter and assault armor and you'll 1 shot the ads and you can 1v1 the AC with minimal damage to the heli

[@crestfallenhussar895]

What about Rokumonsen, Snail Balteus, the arquebus Heavy Shield Cavalry?

[@Sargatas]

You can also just blow up all the ads with assault armor during the first phase with allmind so they won't bother you any longer.

You mentioned the mission "eliminate the enforcement squad" but not the actual boss of that mission, which is unfortunate because that's one of the only bosses I actually needed tips for. I guess there is no tip? You just get bullied by it over and over again until you rage.

[@lesslighter]

my tip is to just commit to a "zone" (150+m range is good enough) I normally run the mission with Ransetsu RFs your trigger fingers may need some rest after the mission but how you do it is basically use the ransetsu RFs to up the stagger use what ever shoulder weapons you want I would use a 4-6 cell forward firing missile, and then melee so you can guess Basho arms (or arms with decent to high melee perf) maybe needed for fast kills the melee weapon of choice is up to you I recommend pile bunker if not then the pulse blade I can make a vod about it if you want some ideas the vod should be viewable on my profile

[@involuntaryanalysis]

He can't hit you if you're either directly above or below him, his shield doesn't cover his back, and he has a fairly low stagger threshold. Biggest challenge here, is that you gotta fight him a damn phonebooth. I recommend something fast, that can be in the air for a while, and dual ransetsu RF works wonders.

[@gsuaveyt]

[@LordZeroTheNightmare]

Just equip quad legs and you can bypass the entirety of the fight mechanics of the smart cleaner.

[@ishakuraigami6171]

Use horizontal plasma missiles during the Nile fight to clear the MT's. In fact, as someone that got the plat, if you're dealing with lots of MT's, just use those horizontal plasma missiles every time. They have fast reload and targeting (the fastest, targetting, actually), a massive ammo pool, can target 6 enemies, and are a guaranteed one-shot against all MT's and Normals. You don't even need a good missile-focus on your FCS. The missile platform and tower defense missions are a joke with them. The only time they don't work are in the "Survey the Uninhabited Floating City" against those little bird drones. They move too fast.

I feel like because of how the movement feels in this game, players think that it's way more of a fast paced combat system than it actually is. Just keep in mind that just because you have so much going on during fights doesn't mean you have to let it overwhelm you, that's what the CPU is aiming to do. This game is fast paced yes, but not enough that don't have enough time to think about your next move on the fly

Tbh while I do like the Swinburne tip, it's frankly even funnier to straight up erase him with a charged pilebunker while he's in the middle of making his offer & after his pulse shield self-drains from him utterly wasting the thing. Granted you'll probably need Basho arms to deal enough damage, but with roughly 50% of his AP bar remaining the bunker should be able to ice him even without being ACS broken. I straight up laughed my butt clean off for a good 5 minutes in disbelief when I first did it, it was utterly glorious. lol

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

Ok, but hear me out: you can eject your weapons and kill him with a punch.

[@XLRider2]

The ALLMIND Iguazu fight is easily my favorite boss in the game and as such I've done it like 30+ times with a huge assortment of different builds, so I'd figured I'd add my own set of tips for the fight: Phase 1: I seriously recommend taking out the mooks first as they can really get in the way when you try to go after Iguazu. Iguazu himself plays super passively and doesn't really do a whole lot so once the mooks are gone he's really simple to deal with. This phase is easily the most annoying part as if you don't take out the mooks they will interrupt you when going after Iguazu by ganging up on you and using their blades and Assault Armor. It is incredibly annoying and will happen to regardless of whatever build you are using, especially if you're using a hyper aggressive melee build with stuff like the Lance, Pile Bunker or Chainsaw where they will consistently knock you out of your animations. Those kind of builds can ignore the mooks through how fast they can defeat him, but I tend to just play it safe and destroy at least a handful of them. Phase 2: In my opinion this is the easiest part. I start the fight by standing with Ayre at the start and forcing Iguazu to come to me. Ayre likes to drop Pulse Protection when you do this and that can save you a lot of AP should she choose to drop it. It also puts her in range to be able to hit Iguazu much more easily which is a massive help giving how much damage she can actually deal. Then just focus and tail after Iguazu while ignoring the Sea Spiders. From my experience the Sea Spiders tend to pose very little threat in the grand scheme of things and if you simply rush down Iguazu and dodge accordingly. Phase 3: This is by far the hardest part and arguably the hardest boss in the game, which is fitting. Seeing how this is a boss similar to CEL-240 in that it just launches a ton of attacks that you have to be able to react to quickly enough, I don't have many tips for this. To be frank, I don't even know how to dodge everything here, when I get to this phase it often times feels like my hands are playing the game by themselves without any input from my brain and I could not describe to you what I was doing. What I can definitively say is that during this and the second phase he has a gigantic hitbox that likes to get hit by anything meaning you can squeeze more hits than you think. As such the Truenos are fantastic for this, but personally my fastest runs of this fight were from using Chainsaw builds bizarrely enough. I definitely don't recommend trying that if it's your first time trying to beat the boss, but I do recommend trying it at some point because I think it's a lot of fun.

[@eljoven732]

You see I have no problem getting to the 3rd phase without healing and I basically have the same strategy as you mentioned for the first two phases but the 3rd is ridiculous 😩 he hits me even when he didn't hit me and almost every time he does hit me I died instantly. I even had the pulse armor once and he chunks me down in 2 hits that I just can't dodge even when I dodge

[@involuntaryanalysis]

Some advice for Phase 3: The biggest danger is his melee swipes and flying charge. There are two methods; First method - Equip boosters with high vertical thrust, and simply fly over his head, and drop STRAIGHT down, quick boost back under him, and back up, but the most reliable way I've found to dodge this is to bait the attack in the air, and while dropping straight down as he approaches quick boost towards and slightly left (Iguazu's right.) MOST OF THE TIME, his swipes will whiff right over your head, timing doesn't have to be frame precise, but you can't be too off. If you can manage to stay directly beneath, or directly above him, those will be your safest positions, as his melee attacks have crappy vertical tracking. Another thing you can do, in an emergency, but you can't rely on it, bait a melee swipe, and hit him with assault armor to stagger and punish, but if you don't hit the stagger your screwed, because the assault armor animation is enough that you won't be able to dodge the incoming attack, high risk, high reward. Beyond that, most of his attacks aren't to much to worry about, just don't tank them with your face. Safest method is to stick fairly close to him and get as many staggers as possible. I find dual Ransetsu RF to be VERY effective for this fight, as well as a dual cell 8-way split missiles, and a coral oscillator. Personally, I used The HAL 826 but replaced the generator with the VP-20C, aside from that, a standard HAL 826, yeah I lose the bonus damage on my blade, but the additional energy efficiency is worth the tradeoff.

Double needler always make things easy for me when paired with high mobility and boost build... I often pair it with two stun needles its surprisingly very good on PVE with mid rand close range FCS it just stun locks everything and also deals decent quick damage you will never retry any boss again.. except for ayre though it seems shes still difficult tbh i find ayre to bw the most difficult final boss took me atleast 20 tries compared to walter and allmind which i finished in one run

[@DobeRadio]

You said to ignore G6 Red, and I know he's not the hardest AC fight considering he's in a tight section of the map, but what if there are folks need a quick tip to get that combat log? You gave a tip for the Tester AC and Index Durham, two of the easiest AC fights in the game, but G6 Red doesn't because he'll get in the way of an S-Rank?

[@kinorris1709]

Missed both of the standard ending penultimate bosses. The infinite energy duel with Rusty in FoR, Snailteus in LoR. Also, I've always refilled supplys, I don't think it costs you the S rank.

[@involuntaryanalysis]

They don't, you can also usually get away with at least one repair kit in boss fights.

[@AhmadAlmilli]

glad to see you have the capability to compliment something other than bloodborne rusty!

[@_nick.._.liachnis]

Wait until Rusty picks up Lies of P. Quality Soulslikes similar to Bloodborne are hard to come by, after all.

[@adarshp.daniel3758]

So no one is thinking that the laser pistols are a bit OP? Cause I used them the whole game and did not feel. Much threat from anyone......well other than that ninja AC in the area

[@infinitepotato001]

All that's great till you've used max ap + 2 Dizzies and 2 earshots.

[@katemc516]

Double zimmie on Michigan till stagger then full laser slicer combo plus a pulse armor will put him away Also I don't think taking a resupply affects s ranking

[@nolongeraperson]

Even after the nerf?

[@neilshewmaker9241]

Errm where the flip is Mad Stomp?

[@SampaosLim510]

I beat the game 5 times and the last time I left off at the last chapter 5 so I can keep replaying the boss.

[@Braniel]

I have all achievements so this guide is kinda useless to me, but I'm watching it anyway in case I REALLY want to go back and demolish some bosses

[@brenolk4642]

First time I went against Nightfall Raven, I fully charged the chainsaw and when they rushed me I instantly ended them with one hit

[@WillTeskey-ud1ff]

I’m still jealous of everyone who says raven was easy. He smashed me face in so many times that I completed the entire arena before I beat him… then I realized what shotguns were :)

[@thatloner2831]

you uh, you missed one boss

[@n03lsant0s]

OMG he looks so much like the Snail in my head 😅

[@scaryhours2220]

Oh Wow I was expecting Hollow Knight Content and I get Armored Core 6....... Even Better 😎👍👍👍

[@grinningwolfcarlson6717]

Video idea : rank the elden ring areas

[@pseudonympending]

There's a handful of glaring omissions from the boss list and I think if you were gonna make the tips this build dependent you probably could've just made a build for each boss and explained how to use them. Feels odd to do an in between when either of the alternatives seem to click better. I appreciate the effort you're putting into covering this game but I think so far a lot of it's been very surface level and a little ignorant to the emotional "core" (ha) of the game. It really shouldn't come up in a best to worst ranking of the bosses that you just didn't really pay attention to the dialogue. Totally fair, neither does AboveAverageGaming, but I feel like you could at least call it "easiest to hardest" and be honest about it. Really love your content usually, and there's a pretty close to 0% chance that you read this, but I hope you do, because I really do love your content, and I wish AC got the same amount of care your other videos seem to have in spades.

[@MRX-tm3st]

Can we get an F for AAP07A ARQUEBUS BALTEUS?

[@festeringfingerprintvicodin]

Best game

[@poipoi4711]

please do lies of p please!!!!

[@arieltimeshrine8137]

Did we forget about Arquebus Balteus? Am I blind?

[@igor_kossov]

It must have taken a lot of discipline to give straightforward advice for student pilot without being snide or making a joke.

[@Limelightning]

29k views in almost 2 weeks… yeah we aren’t letting you move on from Elden ring quite yet

[@shadowprime0249]

Or if you dont care about s rank or anything just go full gatling for nearly all boss fights
