Armored Core Lore: Evangel

The history of an raven who's tale is one which saw a chance in personality and then perhaps a glimpse into what being a warrior is really about.

[@chrizzel28]

I really do love the idea of the Dominant, and Evangel's obsession with it actively hampering his great potential. It makes him a personal favourite of mine.

[@armoredcorelore]

I hear that.

[@aaronofastora2308]

​@armoredcorelore in my youth, I was a fan of the theorem, too. Practiced so much at the game mastering my A.C. design til I could crush Evangel without breaking a sweat. The pinnacle for me was in the multi-player mode forcing myself to compete in 2v1 A.C. battles.

[@haihuynh8772]

He's obsessed with the idea of a superior class of humans to compensate for his inferior skills.

[@MarkizenBlast]

Evangel also is arguably better known for his role in Nexus intro movie, rather than actual game. That's where he is Shining (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) most as a Raven, by taking out numerous MT's, Helicopter's and shooting one leg off from enemy AC, making it crash into a building in the process. Hope you'll have comfortable breaktime ACL. :] See you on your next video!

[@armoredcorelore]

Ohh. See you see next video and thank you.

[@JoonCrest-sk4on]

Evangel: You're to late Raven! I im now Pulverizer Certified

[@armoredcorelore]

With only one minor.

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

He was pretty chill in nexus tbh. Oracle in nexus is peak ac design btw especially in the opening

[@armoredcorelore]

He was, but then got hung up on being dominant. Shame really i like Nexus evangel.

[@null8036]

@@armoredcorelore he is probably in edgy/chuuni phase in LR after what happened in Nexus.

[@TrekSycho]

Jack-O fault

[@__Xeese]

His Nexus AC is one of my favorite AC designs! Shame he spends most of his screentime as a scrublord, but that one ending from Last Raven does redeem him a bit. Best of luck with your other projects btw!

[@armoredcorelore]

I like to think that one ending goes too. And thank you its more ac stuff but its going to take a bit to sort out.

[@DarkstarArchangel]

Apparently, the Nexus Oracle craft parts are going to get referenced as a newly-modelled set of parts in Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon as the Arquebus 2-Leg setup. In short we are apparently getting Nexus Oracle parts in Armored Core 6.

[@armoredcorelore]

Sounds neat.

[@ACFoxeye]

He's just mad he got caught. We know what he did. Jokes aside, it would've been nice to get a little more screentime from him in Nexus. His time between Nexus and Last Raven isn't as well-explored as my namesake.

[@armoredcorelore]

I agree his screen time was a little lacking.

[@patornzgd164]

i always admire the nexus design and his chill, sportive attitude at that time, poor dude got mad to attain power i wonder if we will met someone like that again in the next entry probably drunk on coral XD

[@armoredcorelore]

I hope so, it be nice to see what Coral does to a pilot and if it can change them to.

[@frowningmirror8097]

I guess we're to assume he got more human plus enhancements from Crest and this is what inflated his ego between Nexus and Last Raven.

[@armoredcorelore]

Assume we must as its not really spoke or written about. But to go from hire gun to commander that would boost my ego.

[@chillzaa99]

Evangel always pliot the coolest looking AC & Pulverizers.

[@rreckinreturns]

Honey, wake up, there's a new ACL today 🎉❤

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you rreckin and later I'm going to see if someone got thier revenge on you.

[@rreckinreturns]

@@armoredcorelore Ah, I see you've met Eirinn. 👌Just caught the premier, and it's some koala-tea content.

[@bgonzales817]

Evangel has such a cool looking AC in Nexus and the LR version not bad looking.

[@armoredcorelore]

It is a sweet looking AC.

[@zorain2354]

Nice work! Can’t wait for Zinaida and ACV lore rabbit hole

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you and I'm going in.

[@moisesezequielgutierrez]

_HURRRDURR I'M A DOMINANT! I'M THE TOP! I'M THE ALPHA DOMINANT SIGMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!_

[@armoredcorelore]

Till the last raven walks in.

[@Errorcutive]

Regardless of his dominant male antics. His AC Build is quite meta let me explain... , in master of california ban list the Lemur 2 arm is banned for being too good all rounder offering high en and shell defense with relatively low weight and high accuracy, b83tp is the best booster if the internal can be stabilized. The Dingo 2 offer the fastest boost speed of all legs. And lastly the core cr89e offer solid Round EO with bullet speed that can catch most things along with pretty solid defense stat. Overall a very meta AC regardless of its armanent Choices, 2 banned part, 1 meta part, and a very solid choice for head and core. Another note his defense stats is up to 2000/1700 shell/en where 1700 is considered decent. With all that considered i felt like all that felt very missed out but idk maybe reconsider including it As for Evangel Himself, honestly his antics add so much of that 2000s campy edginess flavour lol. Speaking of which, heres a fun idea if you want to have fun :Write the lore of "DOMINANT THEORY.PDF" Fun knowing in world of mechs where Gundam resort to space wizards, Armored core Has ALPHA MALES instead.

[@armoredcorelore]

Never been into the meta, but learning about it never hurts.

[@shokmusic_AC]

Excellent post! I'm really enjoying these deep- dives into the characters of Nexus/Last Raven.

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you Shok and I'm happy to say I've been hearing your latest creations in a lot of videos recently so good work to you too.

[@chaosakazero]

Perfect thing to hear today

[@armoredcorelore]

That very kind. Thank you.

[@azurespectrum1985]

A blessed Sunday video, another month down, 2 to go. Thank you again for you endless lore videos, the wait is driving me mad but atleast I can relax watching this.

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you and we're getting there. I admit I'm a little eager myself so see what ac6 has to offer.

[@alif6070]

ah yes, the Ligma male

[@InfinityZwei]

While frustrating, for narrative reasons I can't help but love how most of the AC designs of this era effectively "cheated", while the player is stuck operating by rules that no one else has to adhere to. The player Raven is essentially a "badass normal", and it's a shame nobody in-universe seems to acknowledge this.

[@armoredcorelore]

The raven was pretty much a i don't need to cheat to be the best. Showed Genobee and all them what for.

[@c17nause27]

im sad i didn't ever go back to try the first armored cores, but i am happy you are here to atleast let me experience the story, thank you

[@armoredcorelore]

Happy to help and hopefully see you in the AC6.

[@user-hb4om5iq3x]

AC 6 Arquebus 2 legs looks really like a Evangel AC. i hope there also Zinaida AC exists.

[@azurespectrum1985]

I'm actually surprised you know the name of the parts already!

[@KyleTrice1]

I miss the older versions that had secret locations with special parts, newer games don’t have that to my knowledge.

[@armoredcorelore]

I mean we had scarp parts you had to scan for in armored core V

[@azurespectrum1985]

I think it stopped in AC4 but you're right. TBH I missed a lot of parts found in missions and only found them when checking parts guide yet more parts the better. Imagine getting parts in future games involves taking them off enemy ACs kind of like The Surge series, I dunno because what you've asked is old school game design. You're right but people have moved on to walking cutscenes, the old days...

[@TheFirstRaven]

Enjoy your break! You deserve it

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you.

[@lesslighter]

Late fun fact LR Evangel has a different VA than his Nexus one... however in LR his JP VA is the same a certain Solo Wing Mercenary from strangereal

[@armoredcorelore]

Never too late for fun facts =)

[@apophis7712]

Before we got Iguazu, we had Evangel

[@armoredcorelore]

The og try hard.

[@blagojpejov4155]

Nice work on Evangel man

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you.

[@Zaffr3]

Definitely a standout character with a standout AC (even thou enhanced human is needed to use it max effectiveness)

[@armoredcorelore]

He certain is one of the AC characters that people remember.

[@axzrellenx1650]

In ac6 i really wish we can get more backstory and personallity for the pilot we can encounter or fight.

[@armoredcorelore]

I hope so too, it would certainly be a change from the older titles.

[@AORaiMechWork]

He is in Fact not the dominant

[@armoredcorelore]

Fact

[@null8036]

He said he is a dominant but my grenade launcher said otherwise

[@gjg5789]

I always wondered why he is expelled for supposedly working with Crest, but his mission record shows he greatly favored Mirage. I figured it was a typo or translation error, but liked to wonder if it could have been something more.

[@armoredcorelore]

Its not written about sadly, but there's nothing to say otherwise so let the theories fly!

[@PinkTuskedMammoth]

crap I need to change the legs on my Oracle build...

[@567wizzle]

Great stuff!

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you.

[@salvoix86]

The thing that I love about the tuning system is that over half of my builds would be overweight without a single point in load cap.

[@armoredcorelore]

It certainly allowed for more builds then ever before.

[@TKUltra971]

Well no take out this time... but still a informative watch.

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you and yes more a sandwich video i like to think.

What is it with named ravens & human plus Do they have to to even be named???

When will you cover 5th gen?
