credit to ShinGodzilla on psn for the OG version of this build. guys we counter burzel zimms, nebula tank (nebtank), Lamm kite, and more. we use the lra laser rifle, the laser pistol, 6 cell missiles, pulse shield, with allmind and HAL parts and 20b generator to create a very efficient and powerful midweight kite build that has the option to chase and rushdown if needed. hope you guys enjoy.

Dude I love the breakdown for the AC in the beginning, you kept it real about the choices like "look it sucks here, but its good here for this". And totally agree man, the P04 Booster is a sleeper, very overlooked and a great choice for medium weights.

@W1Robur 5 ай бұрын

Yeah man I think every part should be a conscious decision and the final product is a cohesive strategy that has a coherent game plan of what to accomplish and how to get there, with relevant answers for the most likely threats. I see a lot of people just slapping parts together and putting on random weapons and it shows in their play.

It's been interesting to see that up at S ranks there's a lot of viable options still. It gives me genuine hope that this game doesn't have to be stuck in a meta loop, and we can still have some fun with custom machines. Also, is it just me, or does it feel like there's a really small skill gap between the different ranks? I've seen braindead S ranks, and brilliant B ranks. It's kinda wild

@W1Robur 5 ай бұрын

I wouldn't say there is build variety tbh. Tank is still hard meta and the best option to grind elo. But the reason why the skill gap is small is because you can win 70% of your games in the garage if your build is cringe enough. A lot of players who are S rank this season will not be S rank when they patch out the BS

I enjoy how after tons of bullshit going up the ranks, people open up and explore their own taste and meta counters up on S-rank. I'm still on C and I'm already tired of heavy rifleswap builds and tanks.

@W1Robur 5 ай бұрын

I never went heavy on my climb. I played my spin on BVO against swap build and nebtank and burzel zimms etc. and got there through pain and mechanical ability. Now that I'm here though I'm treating S rank like a science lab to instantly get Qd up against some of the dumbest builds in the game (pilot skill may vary)

You played great against that JVLN build. The reason i switched into the VPM over it was because if they AB into you and they get within 50m of the missile's initial arc, it won't track at all. If they back pedal to 360m or so, then it runs out of juice. VPM was more stable for me.

@SlimReaper256Gaming 4 ай бұрын

The Laser Pistol is becoming my favorite gun on the game. The charge time and ammo supply is what does it for me. In the time it takes to stop & shoot a cannon or grenade launcher you can charge it to follow up & get good stun damage as well as damage overall. Good video fam!

I like that TALBOT choice, my man. My primary build was using P05, but i realized that with high spec arms like ALBA, the difference between it and WLT in mid range acquisition was negligible. I switched to WLT because of better close and far acquisition, its just more stable across all ranges. I had a 5200-ish EN efficiency anyways, so dropping down to 4400-ish with the 20C didn't hurt.

@W1Robur 5 ай бұрын

If your primary range is midrange WLT is the goat, p05 if you need the extra efficiency. For midrange that leans a little closer talbot is the move.

Yeah man a lot of people just Stat stack and throw on whatever weapons and boosters are 'op' but this really doesn't deliver a finished product. The best builds have conscious decisions made for each part and the sum is greater with a cohesive game plan and strategy that forms. Even the OP braindead meta builds are very well thought out, that's why they're so strong.

@GawainW 5 ай бұрын

I wouldn't underestimate Assault Armor. Through my experience, it hard counters close range builds like BOV. One could even use it on their own melee build and catch opponents that try to strafe, or if that opponent's mobility is limited /hindered.

@@W1Robur like you, I make a lot of use of vertical spacing and it's really changed my opinion on boosters... like in terms of what's on the speedometer, budget boosters' combined speed is closer to Allula and SPD when they try to fly. On the ground QB cost (and reload) are basically the only thing that matter, your legs will shove you hard enough to get out of the way.

After fighting in S rank, most of these guys play more like B rankers, not many are dodging and not many are moving away when you PA. This build is good against HW and tanks or people who don't dodge often. in terms of off meta? Close but no cigar. it can still be countered by good players.

shields are meta though 🤐 (actually just this one shield because it's the best) I guess what I mean is that this shield is so strong and easy to use that you can slap it on any non-lightweight and you automatically fare better against other meta builds. even by not using it properly but "spamming" it a little.

@W1Robur 5 ай бұрын

The only skill based thing meta builds run lol. If something is 'meta' but requires brain power and mechanical ability to use I give it a pass, plus the rest of the build is pretty funky.
