You guys actually provide really good commentary. Also, "Lightweights can be good if you substantially outplay your opponent" = lightweights are bad. Imo, if they don't want to add turn speed back in, they just need to narrow the defense/AP gap between heavy and light. As a lightweight player, I tried a heavyweight build on my fourth playthrough and it is unbelievable how much easier the game becomes.

If FromSoft just 1.5x the range of rifles, and increased the cost of Assault Boost or remove it entirely and replace it with Overboost (for heavies only), lightweights will now have more options than just missile ratting
@gengarisnotinsmash...8 ай бұрын
Thing is, lightweight builds have a much higher ability to allow you to outplay the opponent. There are times where it does not matter what you do on a heavy, you will get hit and there is nothing you can do to avoid it. This is pretty much never the case on a lightweight, which has so much speed and energy recovery that they always have options available. The issue is with netcode, the fact that explosive damage is attacker side is a big issue because that's the type of damage you want to avoid most as a lightweight and being at the mercy of netcode to dodge it is a huge disadvantage. But even with that, an optimally played lightweight will ALWAYS beat an optimally played heavy because the lightweight physically cannot be hit if their skill is high enough. And that's why the argument of "as long as you outplay your opponent" holds water, because lightweights are the only build type that always has the ability to outplay the opponent at any time.

18:43 I'm pretty sure chrightt's research showed that PA Interference is a fake stat, it's just a proportional relationship to how much the weapon's impact drains shields. You can derive a "PA Interference" value for any weapon if you knew the formula--in other words, it's not actually any EXTRA shield damage, it's just another way of presenting what the existing impact does. That's why you can delete a pulse armor instantly with double Morley, despite that weapon having no PA interference stat.
@gamedominatorxennongdm79568 ай бұрын
Basically the PA interference only applies to energy, or more specifically pulse weapons, which increases the stagger you take when you have a shield up.

I always forget how devastating a laser slicer punish can be. And I thought Pile Bunker was dangerous 😂 a Pile Bunker can delete somebody from existence but takes more skill to land and favors a highly aggressive play style. I watched a Japanese streamer who was so insanely aggressive that the whole time I was watching his match, I kept yelling Jesus Christ Internally. I had never seen a pilot assault boost so much in my life of AC6. Any time he had energy, he was assault boosting. Dude ended every match with a perfectly placed Pile Bunker. Honestly dunno what’s scarier, a great pilot with an aggressive Pile Bunker play style or a laser slicer pilot with the same play style. I think the Bunker is less punishable.

Thanks for uploading, always nice to see what crazy builds good players are running and get some new ideas. I feel like if shields were to be nerfed, they should make them weaker to melee weapons (not kicks) by 1) not absorbing as much impact and 2) not preventing hitstun from melee weapons, or keep those two intact but make shields get disabled for a few seconds after eating a melee hit. Not sure if that's the best way to do it but it'd make them less universally strong.

I knew the plasma cannon was good from the moment I fought Maeterlinck. She's one of the only NPC pilots that has insta kill combo'd me and it's because of the power of that full charge coming out shield. Honestly surprised her build was so slept on in the NPC tournament because she has probably the best built AC in all the Vespers since it's a light-medium designed for flight with high dps energy weapons to make use of the high energy pec on her generator. Nothing clashes like with other Vespers although her head and arms could be a little more tanky imo.

This isn't meant as any kind of shot about Japanese people-- just pointing out it's no surprise the region that benefits from connection latency the most leans toward weapons that this favors.

The pulse shield is not a new thing. Meep has been using it in vids for a while. He runs an Alba based frame with dual 16s, shield and shield launcher. I personally have a fun build that uses dagger, slicer, weuger, and shield launcher. I use the launcher not only for defense while reseting but also offensively for stagger. Get the range right and it does great stagger, plus it does do damage. I do think the launcher is better on a kite build but it does have several uses and is slept on. Also, question...coral has no defense. The moonlight vs redshift, which actually does more damage? What stat reduces damage from melee? The moonlight has a higher charge damage but if coral has no defense to stop it does the moonlight actually do more damage?

I had to work on that build but beyond that it doesn't scratch that AC itch I think the issue runs deeper though, a build like chartreuse's umber ox only has to hover and shoot its guns one after the other to get a win and it's no fun either.
