Armored Core 6: S Rank Promotion Battles w/LW AC! Patch 1.06.

Just did my S Rank promos. Succeeded on my fourth attempt. Lost two fights but didn't include them as they were not interesting or exciting fights (lost because I got hit by earshots once, insta staggered then got deleted if anyone cares).
Have always been a LW and BVO guy erring more towards the more aggressive play style, but the latest patch nerfed the Vientos to oblivion so I replaced them with Etsujins. They aren't as good and my timing was off on followups, but it was enough to get me through the battles and maintain a positive win rate.

I love the reverse thrust and missiles at the end of your close up combo. Like a cherry on top. Super class move and a great way to evade hits. 7:08

[@austinwinstead6543]

Dagger/Assault Armor/Dagger punish is such a potent combo, and it crushed some deadly heavyweights. Well done!

[@G-No-Bee]

Whooo!!! Go get em, damn your badass!!

[@mannmann314]

Anyone else this stubborn and dedicated to their lw/melee builds gets an instant sub from me 👍 Gratz

[@RL_assassin01]

Thanks, Raven! The day I stop playing lw/melee is the day I stop playing this game

[@matthewdavis2593]

Nice Work! great to see the light boiz beating down the kites and fatties! you have to play so much tighter to get a build like this to work at this level of play! huge respect!

[@clubbizarre]

to play LW close range in this era of heavy weight laser cannon builds, kites, hammergeier, makes me presume that you AC has balls of steel

[@RL_assassin01]

It’s because I have ‘rusted pride’ 😉 I’ll see myself out… Jokes aside, thanks bro. It’s a risky play style, but for me it’s the only way I have fun in this game

[@clubbizarre]

@@RL_assassin01 i admit i stopped playing lw as of rank A ... i was also proud... But i will NEVER KITE or go TANK

[@RL_assassin01]

@@clubbizarre You earned my respect when you said you don’t kite or tank 🫡 You might enjoy mid weight builds. Definitely more flexible with weapon picks and ap buffer when compared to lw while maintaining relatively high movement speed

[@clubbizarre]

@RL_assassin01 there are obvious drawbacks when playing like midweight, notably a lack of consistent mobility/agility and the need to stay close, but as anything, practice makes perfect. It works for me to climb those 80.000 lp But again, respect, buddy 🫡

[@RL_assassin01]

@@clubbizarre Good luck on your climb, Raven!

[@Vic92084]

Really sick plays, dude. Well-considered build and solid execution. You clutched it out against some really terrifying opponents. I'm glad the algorithm recommended ya.

[@RL_assassin01]

Thanks, Raven! I’m glad you enjoyed it, that means a lot to me!

[@RizkT511]

Majestic playstyle, congratulations for reaching S rank buddy. I was one win away from reaching S rank on my 4th promotion phase but i failed again. Guess i have to try learn your playstyle

[@RL_assassin01]

I feel your pain, I went through the same thing on my second and third before I pulled this one off. Good luck!

[@heavensgone]

The melee cancel to bait out the PA at 10:10 was so clean

[@ShadowBeetle]

good job!!

[@d0nat136]

1:13 god the latency on that punish lol. Cool vid though

[@woop348]

Etsujins are absolutely cracked, I’m using them on a lw along with redshift and plasma missiles. I’ve climbed through most of A rank and even got a 14 win streak. Hopefully it’ll carry me to S.

[@RL_assassin01]

Sounds like a scary AC! Best of luck on your climb!

[@woop348]

@@RL_assassin01 I made it!!!! Took me 3 tries but I did it with the build!

[@RL_assassin01]

@@woop348 Congrats, buddy

[@zionxile1647]

Can you share the code for the allmind emblem? Congratulations on getting S rank!

I just got to my S Rank promotion phase and I’m getting beat so badly. Need to win 8/10 matches!!! I can barely win 1 🤣🤣🤣

[@RL_assassin01]

You got this, buddy! Just pray that you don’t come across any hard counters or just do it before the kids come home from school so you don’t get the tanks or missile boats lol. You made it all the way to promos so you definitely have what it takes. Good luck!

Thanks for the message. Just tried it again, 5/10 matches 😭😭😭

I managed to get to S Rank just before the reset, but I’m back at the promotion phase now and have been through it about 8 times. Can’t crack it this time unfortunately, I think I just got lucky with the match ups last time. So I guess I’ll be sitting at the top of A4 for a while 🤖

[@ilkaysar2522]

I like how calling a build "BVO" no longer is the indication of parts used but an indication of the *PLAYSTYLE* (High mobility, dual pistols for stagger and melee for stagger punish).

[@GatAnarquista]

Well the only different part is the etsujin

[@josecamacho5077]

u can only play 1 v 1 ranks right ? cant team with a friend ?

[@adventuresoftigtourettesin5885]

I just hit S rank myself today

[@xephyrexe5246]

Viento's still delete me. Don't give up on them, I guess.

[@landbeforetimeee]

Vientos still wreck everyone that complained about them. They're just no longer effective against the builds that didn't. The nerf was too much.

[@RL_assassin01]

I understood the impact accumulation reduction, but increasing reload time might be a bit too much as a total nerf. Still good, but not really a viable option like the zimms still are post nerf. Also, I was surprised the earshots didn’t get a nerf because those are busted
