Build Optimizing NGI Shield/Scudder/Turner - Armored Core 6

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

Omg I just realized, coral shield is also immune to PA interference, so bubble guns and melee weapons dont get the bonus!!

[@dragonslayerfox]

Funny.

[@Alex.McManus]

youre the first person to ever mention this.

[@Cleptomancer]

I was gonna mention this 😂 Ive been trying soo hard to incorporate this shield into one of my builds

[@derektpittsdp]

I love this.. I would love to see more content like this dealing with Sheilds. I think Its a meta on its own.

[@benjaminreid5339]

I literally did not understand how the Coral Shield works post-nerf until you explained it so perfectly in the beginning portion of the video. Great video, great build. Thank you

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

@@benjaminreid5339 it was def an intereating challenge bqlancing a bigger hitbox, with no meaning impact defense other than a select few classes of weapons 😂

[@Alex.McManus]

@@InAVanByTheRivr did you mention that coral shield no turns off when you shoot stance weapons?

[@guamtek]

Good lord this build was so well done. Who knew you could lay down so much damage with SHIELDS?! It so satisfying watching shotgunners and melee run head first into their doom

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

Thanks so much! If you enjoyed the EULE i have another build challenge specifically on that.

[@Thryfe]

A ton of great information in this video. Also, 19:35 using the shield launcher around that hidey hole is sooooo sick lol. It never even dawned on me.

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

@@Thryfe eule is the most trolololol tool

[@Thryfe]

@InAVanByTheRivr I agree now 😂

[@AdAce21]

I love how in-depth you go into when showing the thought process behind the build BEFORE you show the matches. Keep up the great work!! And leave the Etsys alone, haha!!! I think it’s more that rifles need a buff than Etsys need a nerf. Oh, and great parry at 37:33

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

I largely agree, though high projectile speed on close range weapons is a bit nonsensible, its the other way around haha. Stats wise i think just the global recalibrations based on weapon type would solve weapon imbalance. Nitpicking one at a time is def the wrong way fromsoft!

[@callmeCog]

Really like this build Van, seems like it's super fun to mess around wrt positioning and movement - I'm eager to try this out when I can get back to AC

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

Its def a quirky build and different playstyle! Thanks for the comment, and come bacl to ac soon

[@dragonslayerfox]

Another banger I see.

[@guamtek]

Yet another stats and knowledge mastery video! I WISH I had this kind of info for all the other AC games back in the day

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

I wish i played more armored core. I played one early game when i was a kid, then for answer..... So much missed tinkering time!

[@DGENexMACHINA]

Ooh nice. I like this. Great insight on blocking plasma weapons. 😮 I still haven't gone to find this shield. Might need to hop on that 😂

[@juancolon123]

The rifle combo is awesome. I had a build with the coral shield but I switched it with the eule. I have never thought about using them both!

[@krekkyboy5816]

God seeing that zim rush headon with AB just to get hit by the eula shield is so funny 😂

[@Cleptomancer]

Love the EULE👍🏾 I use it on my double melee builds with either of the Occillators as it has slightly stronger impact than a Zimmerman.

[@SeraphBlademaster]

Man you are just in my brain. I was just thinking about how the coral shield functioned and thought that its draw backs could be offset by using Eule. Such a cool idea. I never thought about using rifles for it... I was going to do something like dual etsujins but this seems interesting.

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

Etsis are def substitute worthy though you may end up needing to play closer to heavy 2x zimm and tanks due to their high kinetic resist. Frankly without changes to resist deflect range/projectile speeds being tied to effective range stat, when cant you run the etsijin 😂

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

Oh also the rifles allow you to backpedal while stagger punishing and not worry about getting too far and causing deflects btw.

[@anonymousmurphy]

Time to fire up ye olde AC6 again and make another Eule build. Will there ever be another patch? Stay tuned! 😜

[@derektpittsdp]

I hope so. I just got back into AC6 Myself. Pvp had me turned off with all the missles and zim games.

[@Cam-J7]

Lets goooo

[@majandresmc8311]

Did the same thing. Except used a Turner, flamethrower and shoulder chaingun. With the SPD. Bum rush with shield on and all weapons firing

[@One_Beeyond]

I’ve been tinkering almost opposite to this but I think your analysis of the poor IG impact mitigation makes my idea mute. I noticed that coral shield can be deployed during any stanced firing animation (excluding melee). My thought was to use this shield to cover risky stanced attacks but its mitigation ain’t quite there. Good video as always

[@CsStrez]

Coral Shield is like discount primal armor

[@Alex.McManus]

They need to buff the shield launcher so that even if they touch the outer edge, they get the full stagger build up.

[@callmeCog]

It already does this! You just have to be careful with your placements considering that the actual shield projectile moves around 20M once it fully deploys, plus latency can sometimes just screw you anyway lol

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

@@Alex.McManus in addition to the comment below, you also need to fure it from far enough that it has time to actually deploy! I too would like to see this sped up however as it is tricky when they are abing extremely fast.

[@firstername]

van i need to see your take at a kyoriku build... i think it'd be fun lol

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

@@firstername is that the napalm launcher or the jammer? If its the napalm, check my Playlist as I did that one already!

[@firstername]

@InAVanByTheRivr it's the jammer smoke actually, i barely see it used and it's my favorite gimmick "weapon" in the game and would love to see how you could use it
