Armored Core 6 - Melee Biped Build: Murakumo

[@TheOmertosa]

Fun part of this build is that the laser shotgun charged attack does look like a punch too. So def melee centric build

[@aidenmclaughlin1076]

The melee builds in this game are so fun man

[@Tory-JJ]

its how you get s rank

[@mohammadrezamirzadeh4589]

But most of them don't work well. Like i'm in ch3 and have 3 different melee weapons but only one of them(the first one) is good in 1v1

[@Sitri115]

@@mohammadrezamirzadeh4589 You can't say most of them don't work well while being in chapter 3. By chapter 5 you'll have around 7+ melee weapons. Pile driver is extremely good but is hard to hit unless an enemy is staggered. Laser sword is good in missions due to it's ability to take out multiple enemies in a close proximity and the pulse blade(the first one) is good due to it's high damage to shields and consecutive hits. Each and every melee weapon in the game has it's own unique use and they are ALL really good at what they're meant to do.

[@spark9189]

not if you're coming from for answer blader builds. then these feel slow and clunky

[@mohammadrezamirzadeh4589]

@@Sitri115 ok thx .do you know a good build for melee? I'm using the lightweight chicken legs to jump fast . I look amazing but sometimes i feel like i'm dying fast

[@zuurek6907]

A tip about the wuerger, you dont have to charge it after a lance attack. You can charge it DURING a lance attack and release it IMMEDIATELY, so they get hit whether they are staggered or not as long as you connect with the lance

[@Rizaidym]

I was just about to post exactly this.

[@Virsteinn]

Any weapon that can be charged will hold its charge until you release its button, or until you die. This does, in turn, mean that a weapon can be charged in the middle of a melee attack (you are correct here), and then fired off immediately after the attack's conclusion (you are also correct here).

[@skyeazura3593]

This was dope, keep the build videos coming. The fact that you can melee cancel was mindblowing to me.

[@Rin-ix9dl]

i've been playing the game with melee most of the time, laser lance+pilebunker is just too satisfying

[@IsThisHacked]

For melee builds, I recommend using the VVC-706PM six shot plasma missile launcher. The plasma explosions act as visual chaff to mask your melee charge.

[@nicolasvillasecaali7662]

One problem: the config for the Murakumo is so thigh on energy that the Vvc-706PM exceed its limit, its little brother, the Vvc-703PM, can fit in the energy quota.

[@Eugene_IO]

I run a simpler variation of this build, replacing the shoulder weapons with dual vertical plasma launchers. It's great for causing confusion, pressure and unnecessary dodges, which serves as a great setup for the lance.

[@donals04510]

The Fume Knight's glowing slash and its ability to hit you when you thought you were out of range lives on!

[@proggz39]

Your deep cut has given me ptsd

[@nicolasgiudici4697]

Little fun advice, you can start charge the right weapon when you connect the Energy lance, so when you end the lance animation you can already shot at full charge!

[@demetrius1126]

Lmao I appreciate the acting as murakumo. Very cute. "You cannot beat my edge" was a clever pun.

[@kingcobra2858]

I think the og Murakumo is better overall but the Red Shift is just too damn cool, it gives you Raid Boss vibes.

[@matchstick800]

Love the aesthetic on the Redshift variant, glad to see the coral weapons are viable and not just flashy gimmicks. Hoping the coral rifle will be similar, because damn would it be hilarious scaring people with that.

[@sikevillain]

Literally was playing this game all night😅 never played an AC game before but this one really is an incredible mech game.. I'm stunned lol

[@superphatcakes]

A lil note regarding the pulse blade, NEVER SLEEP ON THIS THING, it may be a starting part, but it's also extremely capable in fights, and shines the best when dealing with foes who rely on shields of any kind, be it pvp or pve.

[@tinfoilmkiv8394]

It also has surprisingly high direct hit damage. Absolutely chunks staggered ACs.

[@ChiefKene]

I really enjoy this game. Hopefully we get some more equipment options and a DLC.

[@JorgeRodriguez-xz5ec]

That would be awesome, the game is getting a lot of praise so they will probably make a dlc at some point

[@sor90]

it will likely get dlc yes. but believe me you will not be short on equipment options In the base game.

[@katryonkelly3772]

​@@sor90 We could use more quads though.

[@vlbinladen3019]

​@@katryonkelly3772definitely more quads

[@SoulNinjaKen]

Its be the 1st Ac dlc ever, minus like voices. But tbh I'm surprised in the lack of leg parts usually there's minimum a leg for each defense type for each type

[@marioangelini1860]

Fun fact: during the charge attack of melee weapons you can charge your range weapons at the same time, so after the melee attack concludes you the special shoot as a follow-up.

[@Jaq_Of_Blades]

Can confirm on that. 🤙🏼

[@HazlerOne]

i love the coral weapon it's look like gundam weapon when charge attack. I'll be happy if fromsoft adds more stuff like this in the dlc or expansion.

[@MrHunter153]

This was really cool! Love the melee build and the split for a Coral version. Would love to see a breakdown of that Ibis build under them in the AC list, as the colors alone looks like something I’d run.

[@diesal_one]

**Core part & Generator are NG+ items** Next best things to use are the "07-061 MIND ALPHA" Core and "VE-20C" Generator. "VP-20C" if you don't have the VE.

This game has me hooked and I’m watching vids nonstop. This channel is awesome

[@Grimnoire]

The entire time watching this video I couldn't stop screaming "THAT'S SO COOL!!" Awesome video, epic gameplay, amazing builds!!!

[@ChiefVizier]

I was worried about the double gattling. Murokumo did not disappoint. You honor your motherboard

[@xianchaencari3244]

Oh hey! that was me in the missile boat! i have a varient with the large coral laser beam and dual wield them like an orbital laser cannon xD it was a really fun match and the first time i even saw the coral oscillator and you inspired me to actually get the weapon before i even saw the video! hope to come across you again! :D

[@buenogoodbye]

As one of the two people that was part of your double kill with the sword.... that was embarrassing but at least the world gets to see it hahaha (DocSeuzz)

[@MrMoogs]

Idk if you know this or if anyone has commented about this already but the quick boost reload timer has a weight cap set to it your weight cap in the video is 70k something while the cap for your boost is 60k in the redshift build this means your quick boost reload is actually gonna be a lot Slower :)

[@west2k95]

After watching a ton of videos of AC6. This.. this is the video that convinced me to buy it

[@SNG195]

Same

[@karaage_ramen]

I'll say melee build is hard on the first play through and you can't force it on every boss. But I'll say it is hella fun.

[@Linc-77]

The red shift build literally melts if the opponent isn't careful enough. Nice and thanks for sharing!

[@ruby_monoblos5415]

fun fact with the laser fist shotgun, you can actually hold the charge of it while using the charged attack of the lance so that while the enemy is stunlocked by the lance you can guarantee get the full charged shotgun hit in right after. i used something very similar to the murakumo build to fight the chapter 4 boss on the mission ye get the moonlight blade. the charge with the lance and shotgun guarantees a stagger that you can follow up with the pulse blade and right shoulder weapon

[@jareddrake8656]

"You cannot beat my EDGE!!!" Man, I felt myself get cut by that the edginess of that line.

[@TheRaienryuu]

My personal favorite so far is a Reverse Jointed with 2x Shotty and either 2x Plasma missile for normal missions or 2x Needle Gun when I'm expecting AC combat. Aiming to finish my first playthrough with this and then try other things for playthrough 2 and 3 to get all endings.

[@SEVIIN_PRIME]

Thank you. Gonna be rocking this once I get the pieces. I wanted a melee build as it’s so satisfying.

[@axis8396]

So after messing with the assault boost cancels you can do stuff like AB into Redshift Charge and then AB or QB cancel the charge animation and you can even delay it quite a bit actually. It goes basically as far as a normal qb because of the slide, with the IB-CO3B you're also saving significant energy since AB is 405 vs the 740 of QB. There's probably tech with quick turn as well but I don't have the hands for it. Really good find overall, it'll help a lot

[@tanngrisnr5076]

both of these are such main character builds

[@theolong6689]

Love the melee in this game. Can't wait to unlock moonlight.

[@bossdozz]

This was my exact set up until around chp 5 when I got the Mind Alpha Reverse Joint legs from Combat logs and they are a real game changer! I am now using the same chest, head then the MA RJ legs and swap between busho arms and the 160 Firearm specialized arms from chapter 2 I also did end up prioritizing the other Coral Generator with the higher output, With certain body set ups my generator efficiency is 11000ish and the build is lightweight enough for a QB speed of 375 i think so I am still able to dodge and jump (free stamina high jump from legs) till my stam is empty and it recharges extremely quickly to max stam instead of gainin slowly

That coral sword you get for finding all the combat logs is crazy strong, I love it so much. I thought that coral death laser gun was cool but it's awkward to use in comparison to the coral sword.

[@howe123100]

About the Redshift build, if you change your fcs to Abbot and your boosters to Ngi-001, you can switch your generator to San-tai, it has way better stats than the Aorta, and because of Ngi-001, your flames are still red, keeping the aesthetics, but the colors of your assault armor and your death particals will be normal.

[@FightinCowboy]

It's more a fashion build than anything, I'm not sacrificing my red booster and assault armor

[@HattaTHEZulZILLA86]

Personally, I would re-name the red one Akatsuki. But yeah, Redshift works too, it's kinda like the Trans-Am mode of your Murakumo.

[@thegreatpoo2electricboogal318]

My favorite shotgun. Reminds me of a bloodborne trick weapon with how different the charge attack is from the normal fire

[@lmpure_4542]

Certain design decisions make pretty clear that they didn’t want melee dual wield, and we still went double melee anyway.

[@ColonelCluster]

Im gonna make these builds when I have time

[@albellansfeld211]

Mmm, I'd say the heavy coral generator is the best option and here is why, you can be insanely mobile with it. the purpose of the coral generator is making use of the energy regain when you red line, red lining returns faster than if you were to wait on a recharge so for something like a melee build where you want to use kikaku boosters you will be able to close insane distances and just stick to someone whether they like it or not using a coral generator. 'KEEP IN MIND: when you red line it takes about 2 - 2.5 seconds to regain energy again, using a coral generator will do absolutely nothing for you unless you are making use of that and timing your recharges with proper cover/distance'

[@DESTROYER-xm1vt]

[@Zack-gk1bt]

Murakumo redshift looks cool even when it dies, blows up in a coral explosion

[@Zack-gk1bt]

Does the generator change the look of your assault armor as well?

[@Kizen.]

The regular attack of the coral blade is insanely good actually, the tracking it has can be pretty outrageous and is a lot like the pulse blade. Also, quick boost is not better than Assault Boost, and I promise you that. You should really think about that for builds that use melee weapons that aren't reliant on dashing in.

[@FightinCowboy]

We have a 288m sweep and moonlight blade beams with redshift, id be more concerned about dodging than extra assault boost speed at that point

[@Kizen.]

@@FightinCowboy My main issue is that getting after lightweights with proper speeds will be a challenge, a very close range build which is understandable but in my experience QB is less valuable than AB in most pvp situations. Not to mention most melees combo off kick, and AB speed really helps with kicks. Going heavy into QB can be good into avoiding shotgun spam but with a coral gen its not the most viable thing, they'll get you when you redline if you dont have the speed to get out. I've been going for a lot of things that combo off kick into stagger and it's been doing very well into the standard double shotty cheese.

[@karaage_ramen]

FYI: Melee attack thrust does not effect Lance charge (or any melee charge). So ALULA 21E is significantly better in every aspect except 1 less QB trigger.

[@FightinCowboy]

we're not using the charge attack on the plasma blade so melee attack thrust still allows us to chain cancel our attack until he reach the target.

[@DGneoseeker1]

Ooh, the charge attack on that laser shotgun seems to move much faster than normal laser "projectiles"... That could be nice for dealing with dodging.

[@ripplecutter233]

I prefer saving my pulse blade for stagger finish after a charged lance, as it does way more damage than the charged shotgun. I usually use the charged shotgun just to get that last bit of stagger bar.
