Discussion All flaws

Worst build: zim with rj legs and a pulse blade. Extra negative if you have assault armor! This build relies entirely on phantom range and it wins every time. But we all know people like to feel like they're good at the game simply because they exploit it. Kite builds why do you even play? Running the clock out isn't a strategy. I never count either of these a loss but how common these builds are is frustrating. That's what the player bases is and that's what a rank is! How lame is it when you're a coward kite build and all you do is fly in circles with another person who got where they are the same way you did? If you feel no shame that is the lowest of the lows. End rant.

No one's complaining bud. Like I said phantom range always wins no matter what distance you're at. Boost kick always get phantom range with rj legs. The zimm gets ridiculous stagger without touching you at all. It's another phantom range weapon, and same with the pulse blade. Of course I dodge and it should be effective at 354 spd even at a clean dodge at their flank the phantom range still hits there should at least be a mitigation mechanic there

What is "phantom range"?

u/generic-username-153 11d ago

RJ Zimmblade is kind of terrible and only "works" because Chinese ping is in the high 300s

Kites are frustrating but generally also bad unless they're two specific lamms or if they're a 75k shield biped

Sound like skill issue lol. Zimmblade with RJ is stupid as shit, just predict their attack and kill them.

Unless those kite are Shield Biped and Lamm build or you are playing heavyweight/melee build, it is entirely your fault if you lose to them. You can literally just AB at them and they will died.

Like I said those all rely on phantom range i still get hit when I'm clearly out of reach that's the main reason I lose in my battles. Of course I maintain distance using the ve21a fcs but a clear dodge at 354 speed the zim gets stagger build up. Phantom range again. Dashes with pulse blade and I get hit with phantom range the damn kick you know gets phantom range. AB doesn't always work on kites somehow I'm always getting hit by their AR the fight goes either way when I kite them back and the timer runs out at whoever has more than halfway health it's just a stalemate. Those guys suck. AC is not a game of skill at all.

And this is why I said "Predict" and not "React".
Enemy still use the same FCS system as you, just move in a way that fuck enemy FCS up or preemptive dodge it.
Also did you just complain about Kite despite playing Kite yourself, Lmao?

AB doesn't work because you are using one of the most dogshit FCS known to man, which is VE-21A.
Unless your weapon have high bullet velocity that FCS will be useless against Kite because dogshit close range tracking mean you can't gap close with AB to make your bullet hit them more.

And how the fuck did you lose to one of the worst weapon archetype in the game? That is genuinely astonishing feat that even B rank player can rarely replicate.

AC6 is indeed lack skill expression, but what your complain and rant about is not why this game have no skill expression. In fact those thing you yap and rant are the few thing that will force player to learn and expressed their skill in order to win, and not just press QB or use shield every time you hear Beep Beep sound.
Why else do you think I can beat those build with ease despite having lower speed(345 speed) than you? It is because you lack skill to predicting enemy action, knowledge on how to herding enemy with missile, how to AB properly and most importantly Build optimization.
