AC6 - Coral Release but 621 is Nineball

"Iguazu, what is it that you wish?"
This was coming sooner or later, only fitting to pit the two deadliest AI in mankind's history against one another. But man this build was tough getting to work for this fight.
This is based on his Ninebreaker and Last Raven incarnations, wherein he used a linear rifle and micro missiles in place of the pulse gun and rockets

[@immutablebrew]

For those of you who aren't PC, I have almost entirely sussed out the build! You're using the Harris linear gun and the Bu-TT/A Pulse Blade, with the P03MLT-06 Missile Pod and an Earshot grenade cannon. Your frame's a VP-44s, cc-2000 Orbiter, VP-46D, and Melander C3. The internals were a little harder to get, and I'm not sure I'm 100% right. The boosters are either the Buerzel or the Gridwalker. They *look* more like Buerzels, but Gridwalkers outperform with the given frame and weapons, even though it's above the ideal weight. But, going by the shape, it has to be one of the two, and, for my money, I'd run this on Grindwalkers. But Buerzel is just about as good. The Generator is, without a doubt, the Ming-Tang. Of the IC Gens, only it and the Hokushi can power this build, and it reloads way too quick from zero to be the Hokushi. The FCS is the only one I can't nail down for certain. Given how quick the missiles lock, it's gotta be in the low 100s, which means either the P05, Talbot, or WLT-001. Given the p05 is just not built for this, it's a tossup between the Talbot and the WLT-001. Probably the Talbot. Have fun!

[@spacetaz3382]

[@dragonslayer3552]

Im glad to finally see some fights done with skill instead of the classic 2 easy mode builds we see all over the internet... Like if you like these OP builds thats fine but its not fun to watch

[@malikoniousjoe]

I really like AC6 but it has some awful balancing issues, and I blame the stagger system. Old titles had strong builds but I never found brain dead easy modes like in 6, and I think it’s because most the guns fire nerf darts instead of bullets until you hit the arbitrary stagger amount, which would be fine if the guns with low damage did high stagger like the Handguns in 5th Gen, or the weapons that ate through PA but dealt low AP damage in 4th, but the stagger tends to be proportional to damage output 1:1 most the time so there are just certain weapons that invalidate other weapons of the same class with zero cons. There’s no reason to pick a weapon with low stagger because they won’t deal real damage anyways even if you break their poise, and then there’s the Ashmead which is awesome but way too strong turning every fight into Stagger->One Hit KO and the game will actively chase the opponent down for you too. I played the entire game to all endings with my personal build first, all stuff I like without care for min-maxing and then for my fourth playthrough I made a missile-bed heavy-tank which will kill everything in a mile radius if I so much as drop the controlled down some stairs. I think the stagger system just has no place in a mech game from both an aesthetic stance and from how it makes a lot of weapons unsatisfying to use. I’m just so sick of seeing RedShift/Ashmead Basho arm builds where every other weapon isn’t there to balance out the AC but instead to get a fast single stagger followed by the IK. Like you said, it’s incredibly dull to watch and playing against them is either playing keep away for a minute while they fail to catch you, or 5 seconds to their win.

[@Vross_MKII]

The AI that survived 3 entire games💀

[@OrificeHorus]

I remember that I actually made this build for PVP one day, though I swapped the Harris for the Ratsetsu-RF because of Ninebreaker having a Three-Shot burst on his linear rifle in that game, and the Earshot for the Songbirds, as his GL fires in two shot bursts. Good to see it's optimal in sorties as well as NEST

[@-castradomis-1773]

Target: Verified Hostilities: Commenced

[@Zappy_C]

I know it's the same character, but considering the lack of burstfire and the linear rifle, this is Baby's Breath from Last Raven. I ran pretty much the same build as this but using the 04 rockets for two playthroughs. It's a lot of fun.

[@Pirannacon]

Nineball had a rapid fire pulse rifle as hand weapon?

[@Nineball459]

This is based on his Ninebreaker and Last Raven incarnations, wherein he used a linear rifle and micro missiles in place of the pulse gun and rockets

[@immutablebrew]

@@Nineball459 does AC6 even *have* the old-gen style pulse guns? Because the Bubble Blower doesn't feel very Nine Ball to me.

[@matt2centerback]

[@carstan62]

Hearing people put old-school Armored Core music over this game really makes me a bit disappointed in the music for AC6. Don't get me wrong, its music is still above average, but it would go way above that if (for example) each corporation had different battle themes for when you fight against one of their AC pilots. That would add so much personality to the game and really push the vibe over the edge.

[@gimmeyourrights8292]

Or at least give you the option to select older stuff.

[@Hello-lf1xs]

Is it just me or do the particles used by the ALLMIND final boss ACs, especially the second one, look a lot like Kojima Particles? They’re even used to block/disrupt communication & signals in the phase 3 transition

[@malikoniousjoe]

I can kind of see it, but according to the game I think it’s supposed to be the human equivalent of Coral energy, like Iguazu is emitting for humans what Ayre emits as a Coral lifeform.

[@arandomvulpix8570]

I think it's just the mixture of Pulse, Laser, and Plasma tech. Primarily the first two. Seeing how a good number of Coral weapons have Plasma and Pulse/Laser hybrid counterparts (the Redshift and Moonlight blades being almost functinally the same besides what they throw, for example), combined with Pulse weapon technology being disruptive on it's own (the PA interference stat and the Pulse Shield Launcher's description), would imply that's what ALLMIND has retrofitted the SOL with.

[@seishinrosu]

Amazing video and I absolutely love your editing and the video is a fucking banger, I loved every second of it. But this video made me realize one thing - Holy DAMN the past gen OST completely turns the mood of AC6 out the window.

[@zoraius]

Read the discription and i had the same issue with my nineball build. Its just not specialized enough to be good in ac6 i think. And pilot skill can somewhat make up for this but there are so many easier ways to go throught a lot of the fights in game.

[@Nineball459]

That's what makes cosplay builds fun tho, it challenged me in all kinds of ways. Fighting pre-nerf IBIS with that Silent Line build is still probably the hardest thing ive done.

[@alephkasai9384]

My normal build is actually quite similar to this. Except I usually use laser blade or PB rather than pulse blade.

[@Nineball459]

@@alephkasai9384I used the laser blade initially for this build alongside the ALULA boosters, I swapped out to the GRIDWALKER boosters because good verticality is needed for this fight, and the laser blade was swapped to the pulse blade because I needed something faster and more aggressive instead of defensive

[@user-pq4by2rq9y]

I don't know, his kit seems pretty solid to me. Lots of stagger and good direct damage. One thing that bothers me though is that you should only be charging your Harris to get that stagger hit or as combo finisher. Otherwise you are exposing yourself AND sacrificing your dps.

[@Nineball459]

I think if we're talking purely being functional, the Evangel, Crest Close Combat, and Berlioz builds have all proven both fun to use and been decently effective in most missions. Evangel especially was a big surprise for me, that build is surprisingly good at zoning/mid-range combat, to the point its even PvP viable. This build as well has proven very strong, honestly anything that can S-rank this mission consistently is a fantastic build imo, and this Nineball build can S-rank very easily thanks to its good ammo economy.
