Armored Core: Master of Arena | Final Mission: Nine-Ball Seraph [No Human+ Upgrade]

"Target verified. Commencing hostilities."
─ Nine-Ball Seraph
Took me 2 tries to beat Nine-Ball Seraph with this Large Missile, I think my first try the missile either explode early (shotted by NBS during Flight Mode) or just miss entirely. It's actually much easier to beat the first Nine-Ball with Flamethrower than KARASAWA and it takes 2 Large Missiles each to defeat the second and third Nine-Ball, if it misses/explode early, Flamethrower will do the job nicely.
Build:
- No Human+ Upgrade
- Literally anything as long you can equip both WG-FG99 (Flamethrower) and WM-AT (Large Missile); Humanoid-Legs type work the best.
- FCS using FBMB-18X (Wide & Shallow Type), other FCS probably work the same, since you going for Close Range with WG-FG99 and WM-AT has its own Lock-On. But WM-AT will benefit the most with quick lock-on from FBMB-18X.
- SP-AXL (Optional Part) will help with the lock-on speed.
Played using DuckStation at 5x (1080p) resolution scaling with Nearest-Neighbor texture filtering while the rest is default.

Human+ makes you a Human-

[@ReifinDFanchon]

Big brain statement.

[@Kubadaniels]

its just humanity before souls titles

[@Wolf-Raven]

Trade your humanity to wield the power like an AI.

Ah yes, if all else fails... Nukes.

Back when Large Missile was viable because the quick lock.

@@ReifinDFanchon I had an entire build focused around being able to out maneuver those damn things lol. My brother loved to spam those. Bright side, that build featured in Trips & Tricks back in the day.

[@labcatdog00000]

just beat him for the first time after about an hour of attempts, so seeing him go down to a couple nukes in the face was very cathartic

[@KABLAMMATS]

I finished this game without knowing a human+ (this is my first AC game) I simply thoughts that the enemy in this game (the raven that can shoot grenade launcher without sit down) is cheating for the difficult sake 😂

[@foxtopuscreations6046]

Hats off to you if you've beaten 1st and 2nd gen without Human Plus, you're a true Raven.

This boss was genuinely super easy and all i did was use Tank legs to be lower than the MOONLIGHT energy beams 🥴 still a great game though

Man if he comesback in ac6 hes gonna much harder than rdd24 smartcleaner

Nice beating the game in a mucle tracer no less :p

[@ReifinDFanchon]

Ah yes, the classic "Your AC looks like an MT." Gotta love 'em all.

[@petman515]

@ReifinDFanchon ill admit I saw the orher comment and got the idea to meme it out that direction though with the power creep from ac1 to ac2 the first 2 games sort of are like piloting muscle tracers by comparison.

[@wallflowerxm]

"no human+" blade wave omegalul

[@ReifinDFanchon]

I use a blade called LS-1000W. It has built-in blade wave. The blade is somewhat unique, because the blade wave are in red. I don't use Human+ that much, but I'm sure the standard is blue.

[@01trixor]

@@ReifinDFanchon oh yeah that one, I never really used it before but is cool to see it again after some time

[@wallflowerxm]

@@ReifinDFanchon nine months later I realized this was my dumb comment I didn't know there was such a blade in 1st gen, but it's my favorite now thanks

[@lesslighter]

@@wallflowerxm LS-1000W may have been... the Moonlight back in the day if you didnt get it early since you can still unlock Moonlight in MoA anyway

Yo your AC looks like a Mofo'in MT From AC2

[@ReifinDFanchon]

I wonder how many people said my AC looks like MT by now?

[@hayaokakizaki4463]

Why the flamethrower dawg

[@ReifinDFanchon]

Unironically easier to beat the first Nine-Ball for me, due to cramped space.
