Beautiful advice, very nicely done video!

[@GloriousGEO]

I tried to keep it short and to the point!

[@fragrantrice]

You're videos are the best for learning how to play PvP probably 👍

[@GloriousGEO]

Glad you think so!

[@GloriousGEO]

I'm thinking about starting a series about how to fight certain meta builds. What meta builds do you guys struggle the most against?

[@mrtencza]

Missile Rats, and Tanks.

[@GloriousGEO]

I explain how to beat missile rats here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmHRg6WopJyklbs I guess now I need to make a 'how to kite guide' to beat tanks. heh.

[@gedgar4502]

​@@mrtencza tl:dr version is to just quick boost in the opposite sideways direction ur backpeddling in. I found it to be the most reliable way to deal with the net code.

[@afos88]

and also overly aggressive explosive ones can suck to play against

[@morioh6623]

Just hit A recently and playing against x2 pistol(i think theyve all been viento) into punish has been really annoying to play vs and it was the majority of my first handful of games. Just feels like a dps race and my winrate went from 85/90% down to 50 lol.

[@A.C.V.GENOCIDE_Director]

Zhongli San, thanks for your guild and support for armored core 6!

[@GloriousGEO]

Good luck!a

[@dad_uchiha1707]

Yesterday I got from unranked to A then went to bed, so I haven't really seen a meta. Most common I've seen is probably the needle pistols atm, 100wins out of 108 I think? Very fun!

[@mike_v02]

It's true about team ranked, i've stopped playing before get that S rank. MM time way too long and i'm stuck at A.

[@GloriousGEO]

A shame.

[@skyray9502]

Same

[@IronGiant2790]

On average, how long would you say are team queue times?

[@skyray9502]

@@IronGiant2790 I've waited for about 20-30minutes at times. Edit: It also seems to depend on what time during the day you play. For instance between 1000-1630 seems to have more matches

[@sallydrum7669]

Don't quit! I went from unranked to SS playing every other night for one week, grinding hard over the weekend. Strictly with one of Geo's laser swap builds.

[@FairPlayClubChads]

This video realy helped me , because recently i had an AC6 existencial crisis, i spent a lot of time creating painting and putting decals on a build, just to question myself if i should have played something else that would be more tanky or would requiere less skill since im a begginer and i had one of the worst lost streak recently

[@GloriousGEO]

Wish u the best, m8

GG, what's the name of your background music? Its a beautiful ambiance, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

Zhongli: Pulse Armor Noelle: Terminal Armor Yun Jin: Assault Armor Edit: Thx to your advice, I managed to get to S Class just recently. Unfortunately on singles as not alot are on team battles...

[@GloriousGEO]

You will have an easier time with teams during next weeks rank reset

[@SuperDarkmasterX]

I hope than one day, S rank players will use non-meta build just because they love ACs they make with love and not just for win 😌.

[@GloriousGEO]

I find those kind of players all the time in customs.

[@riccardofurfaro2]

Yo that's my beliefs! You have no idea how many struggle but I'll never fall to meta slave, White Noise is my AC! 😊

[@SuperDarkmasterX]

@@GloriousGEO yeah, but I like rank matchs because its more faster to fight someone 😅.

[@SuperDarkmasterX]

@@riccardofurfaro2 and thats why, you’r a Raven 😌

[@JC-eo2qe]

To be fair, sometimes a meta build is what a player loves to use, either because they like to use the best, or because it’s literally a setup that they enjoy that happens to be strong. I ran a super chonky AC with the Tiang shoulders that look like roof shingles because it was the easiest to showcase decals on, then did a paint/decal made him look like a construction worker complete with yellow construction safety helmet (the head that Carla uses in story). The result was a goofy robot that had a “white t-shirt with blue trousers” look - complete with Melander core that looks like bulging pecs - which my dad thought was funny when I showed during Thanksgiving last year; he pointed out that real life construction has been looking to put more robots in the field and we ended up looking at the robot more. He also liked the Vientos and thought they’d be perfect for my robot’s them because they acted like oversized nail guns. I then put a shield on it, then the shoulder part that shoots out drones that tracks people because my dad thought that was cool, and I decided to run it as my first ranked build. As you can imagine, I ended up with a build that was very similar to 432 and Risa’s setup (they use Zimmers, but Vientos work fine), and ended up crushing most of the early ranked games. I later figured out about Geo’s advice to run Buerzal’s and the heavy coral generator to chase down kiters, and dealt with them too. So I guess this long story of mine is about how a goofy looking blue collar construction robot ended up being a monster of a rushdown machine, and while it doesn’t do well against laser tanks (tiang parts have mediocre energy defense) it’s a complete nightmare against all the Viento/Zimmerman rushdown and BVOs that I see even in C ranked. Now if only I spent less time painting robots as well as designing decals I feel confident I could shoot to a higher rank, but sometimes I just get that artist itch and I end up spending hours looking for the right shades of colors lol. But then again, I suppose an old school Armored Core player like myself wouldn’t find it odd to spend more time building robots than actually playing with them.

[@don945646]

Can you please explain what kite means?

[@GloriousGEO]

Running away and shooting missiles at someone.

[@Pistallion1]

How do you stay locked on so well? Are u using hard lock

[@GloriousGEO]

yup

[@zaydrianjosh4397]

S rank in three words: Bazooka and Lasers

[@GloriousGEO]

Too true

[@Chris-hb7xp]

Do you play on pc or console?

[@GloriousGEO]

Pc

[@skyman322]

That S rank promotion is fuckin me. Misplay one match then get countered twice. Waiting to get home for promotion attempt 3

[@skyman322]

Got it! That was so brutal as a white glint build thankfully didn't encounter any tanks

[@GloriousGEO]

Gratz dude!

[@infamoushacker4chan883]

Bunch of plebbitors got seriously buttmad when people began using this build. They even started defending quitting out mid-fight.

[@GloriousGEO]

lmao

[@mrtencza]

Ranked Reset? Is that why all my plates are gone?

[@GloriousGEO]

Doesn't happen until next month.

[@elijahandrew3844]

I doubt they will delete all of the plates on rank reset, that would be silly

[@GloriousGEO]

Nah, you just get reset 1 letter grade. Only happens to people above B2 rank. So S rank players go back to A rank and such

[@frostymourne867]

I'm certain plates that you earned will remain. So next season you prolly gonna see unranked players with their S rank singles plate displayed on.

[@cyriloboco3083]

I learned that there is no such thing as a universal build in this game. You can come close but there is always a counter.

[@GloriousGEO]

You can always make it less of a counter.

[@cyriloboco3083]

@@GloriousGEO true but it becomes a very hard match to win. A meta player whose mastered their build will most likey win against a universal build

[@angelitoofficial7943]

You mean the match drags on longer. I am currently learning patience with this game. Too often I I’ll be doing well amid go in for the finish too early and notch the whole fight.

[@amoredcore1]

Okay but geo never puts me in his videos :(

[@GloriousGEO]

🥲

[@dannyalexander2328]

I saw someone on reddit who posted a video clip using your plasma swap build, melting someone. And everyone in the comments was shaming and just insulting them 💀 felt bad ngl.

It's a strong build. Funny how widespread it is now.

I can't even get a single ranked match, single or team. Ive waited like 30 minutes in each without a single match, and I'm Los Angeles so it's not like I'm in the middle of no where. What gives? Have people already abandoned this game?

yeh ded game. elden ring dlc soon tho
