Oro's Weapon Tier List (1.02) | Armored Core 6 

The back plasma cannon does NOT have the same muzzle velocity has the other plasma weapons, it's actually far faster. A very slept on weapon

Thank you for my opinion on these weapons. Now I know what to say when other people use weapons different from the Zimmermans.

Gotta love Oro’s roller coaster of a description on some of these weapons: “The ransetsu is really good…one of the best rifles in the game-but still not great…B-Tier.” 😂 Never change, Oro.

The Plasma Thrower even acts as a shield when spinning up, negating some damage as bullets ricochet off!

One of the underrated aspects of the grenade launchers is that you don't have to actually hit your shots. Just maneuver your enemy into spaces where they will get hit by the explosion. Good with manual aim too because you can lead your shots

I honestly think the laser dagger is A tier, not only because of the damage, but because of how fast it reloads. You can usually get 2-3 full combos on staggered bosses. And constantly cancel it in pvp for movement and mind games

It's interesting to see another take from someone with different playstyle, but I really hope you elaborate a bit more on the technical side beyond "It's bad" or "It's underrated" or "It's really good" or "There's a better option" (What is this 'better option'?). You did most of the explosive weapons dirty this way. Some things that I think require further elaboration: *1. Missiles' potential as a source of 'delayed pressure'.* As someone who has "Unrelenting Pressure" as his main build doctrine, I feel like you slept on how missiles seems to bait most people to dodge, which indirectly drains the energy that can be used to dodge your other attacks, or forcefully make them move even a tiny bit from their current position into a hopefully less favourable option (Such as your other attacks). When they do hit, the damage is not too bad. Plus they have great range which can be used to for poking. Other options that I feel are similar in this function are Orbits and Coral Missiles, but they have way less range (Laser Orbit = 400, Dual Missile = 500, Active Homing Missile and Coral Missile = 1000, Split Missile =1425, normal missiles = 2500), and Coral Missile took way too long to lock on (4.9 sec VS 0.4 - 1.4 sec). (Javelin Beta's usage is still questionable and I haven't experimented on it, so I can't comment on that topic) *2. WLT 011 and KRSV's two level charge system seems to be ignored* WLT011 level 1 charge and Nebula Redshift charge has similar charge time and damage (On NGI000 generator with Trainer AC as dummy target, KSRV = 1187, WLT011 = 1828, Nebula Redshift = 1984), but WLT011 has faster projectile speed (Seems comparable to KRSV). Your focus on KRSV 'big damage but long cooldown' and your comment on the WLT011 being "There's better punish option" give me the impression that you're only thinking of the full charge, and WLT011 might shine a bit more with this fact (If not for the weight issue) *3. Songbird's ease of use seems to be ignored.* Songbird fires almost instantaneously compared to every other cannons, which helps a lot when your window is limited, or you want to minimize the time where you're vulnerable. This quick and easy AoE with nice damage (and way better performance than favorite CQC cannon, Morley, even on CQC conditions) is actually what makes Songbird very popular, and IMO warrants a better evaluation *4. What's the reasoning of putting specific weapon in a tier despite it having a specific niche?* Weapons in AC is usually made on a spectrum based on weight/energy to accommodate build variety. As you didn't really elaborate on these "better options", the placement of weapons in the same class as weapons with weight/energy issues feels weird (Example: KSRV compared to other laser/plasma rifles) To elaborate on KSRV's case, KSRV is the heaviest arm weapon in the game, yet its damage is actually comparable to VE-66LRB which has 3000 less weight, less charge time, and similar projectile speed with the trade off being less impact. Thus, if you have other impact source (or on a lighter build), you might choose to take this trade-offs. KSRV = 10120 Weight, 707 EN Load, 2522 Full Chg. ATK Power, 1930 Impact, 4.5 Full Chg. Time VE-66LRB = 7760 Weight, 604 EN Load, 2352 Chg. ATK Power, 690 Impact, 2.3 Chg. Time VE-66LRA = 4940 Weight, 532EN Load, 535 Chg. ATK Power, 535 Impact, 2.8 Chg. Time (Note: KSRV level 1 charge seems to be around 0.6, as it's similar to Ransetsu FF's 0.7 charge time. But, it only deals 1187 damage on tester AC with NGI000 generator, which actually makes it the weakest laser rifle in exchange for fast charge time). I hope you elaborate more on your next vids to enlighten us on your discoveries and promote healthy discussions

i think you're sleeping on the pulse blade. it has one of the highest direct hit bonuses in the game. critically, you can stagger on the first hit, then get direct hit on the second, which is actually more damage than the light pile attack.

Its really interesting seeing the difference in people's opinions on certain weapons, especially the melee weapons. A different tier list completely swapped the position of the yoyo and the stun baton.

Also, the Coral Shield is the only Shield that allows you to fire your left arm weapon. So basically that Shield allows for the highest DPS. Also, quick boosting does not take down your shield and instead brings it back into the sweet .8 second window of max damage resistance.

The two pulse bucklers have very different stats! The kite-shaped one has a very long initial guard (1.6 seconds) but reduced percentages blocked, while the diamond shaped one has a much lower initial guard duration (around 0.4 seconds iirc EDIT: it’s 0.3 seconds!) with almost maximum damage/impact reduction! The second one is definitely my favourite of the two

The plasma cannon is actually way stronger than described. The full charge increases its velocity to be the same as laser weapons.

Stun baton is best used when you break the enemy. If you use the charge attack it does decent damage, leaves the electric dot which sets up the next stun at already 50%+. Allowing you effectively to keep locking down an opponent over and over.

For enemies in PVE: Detonating missile launcher has the best tracking in the game, it can do tight circles around enemies. With 2 of these equiped, 2 salvos can fully stagger the trainer AC. It also has a decent reload speed and not too bad of a lock on time. Equipping 2 of these launchers + a ransetsu means you can constantly re-stagger balteus in 5 seconds

I've actually had quite a lot of success with the Javelin, but there definitely is a "trick" to it you need to have down for it to work. First, it absolutely does not work as an offensive tool. It's a defensive tool used to give you an edge against close range builds like shotgunners or pistoleers that have no choice but to close the range. Second, you have to watch which way the missile launchers, and then follow it. Basically just put the trail in-between you and the enemy, so they either have to eat the hit, or back off.

Laser dagger tech for you due to its extremely fast cooldown. Once you stagger an enemy and go for the melee many panic use their expansion slot this resets their stagger gague. Counter with assault armor to instantly refil stagger gague. Laser dagger has already finished cooldown get in 3 more free hits.

I’ve gotta say that I prefer the Curtis (Linear Rifle) to the Harris. The problem with the Harris is that it overheats after a single charge shot, which means you really need to “call your shot” with it, while you can kinda just spam charge shots with the Curtis. (Edit) I realize that the analysis here is mostly for PVP which I haven’t done yet, but I always switch out my Curtis for AC battles in PVE so yeah, I can see how the Curtis is trash for PVP. I just like it because you can one-shot a lot of mid-level enemies for just 100 credits.

I agree with everything on this list except for one: The Pulse Blade. I ABSOLUTELY use this as a punish weapon because, especially with the basho, you can do insane direct hit damage. It's direct hit modifer is *230*. The only melee weapon higher than that is the chainsaw. It's EN light and the weight is very manageable, so it can sit in a bay until the time is right then go in to annihilate the poor bastard. The main issue I have with the pulse blade is the same as you described for the laser blade, in that the tracking can be a bit jank. However, if you land both hits your opponent is going to FEEL IT. Beyond that, I think this is a great, very well explained list and I generally agree with everything else. Keep up the good work =)

Explosive thrower is incredibly slept on. The stagger build up for how easy it is to hit once you get used to it, is one of the most consistent and reliable forms of stagger out there.

The rifles really need more effective range, and projectile velocity to match. They basically have to be as close as the shotguns to be effective, and at that range, why not just use a shotgun?

I disagree with a good number of things, which I think is indicative of some decent weapon balance. Iv also seen some other tier lists that people have put up with WILDLY different opinions on weapon placement, especially when it comes to melee weapons.

Regarding Energy Rifles: The multi-energy rifle at 20:00 is currently my favorite weapon. He talks about having to charge it, but even without charging it’s fantastic. Faster rate of fire and Stronger than the Nebula. Only downside is it overheats quickly

So glad the pulse shield launcher got some love they're really fun

I'd had some surprising success in PVP with some of the odder missiles just by combining them with each other and the newly buffed ARs for constant pressure. On their own each weird missile is pretty easy to dodge but in combination they make for a hellstorm that I find most people struggle to keep up with for too long. One big advantage of the Delivery Boy in particular is that is flies around and drops multiple waves of missiles/bombs to carpet the enemy with decent tracking, since nobody uses it nobody expects it to come back around for multiple drops.

The vertical plasma missiles are good but they stay in the air forever and they aren't as spammable as the forward ones which are ready every 3 seconds. The plasma rifle is also really good on light builds that use duals already. Honestly they don't even have to be staggered, it swaps SO quickly. It shoots immediately between swaps and the opponent basically never sees you shoot it, and they really don't want to get hit by it.

Worth noting about the Detonating Bazooka Javelin - Dude's got an insane amount of Direct Hit Multiplier. If you get a stagger this thing can be your finishing blow.

I definitely think the laser turret is way stronger in 3v3s where area denial is a much bigger deal and people are less likely to pay attention to the tiny little drone. Especially considering how hard it hits if it does hit you. Maybe not worth bumping up a tier but at least worth considering for those group situations.

Such a great list and you pointed out some things I didn’t know. Kudos!

Twin laser pistols have been my go-to for most of the PVE experience. Good damage and stagger with the most abundant ammo supply, the option to charge shots, and light enough to allow all kinds of shoulder options on my favorite reverse join legs, it does no wrong.

The Soup missile launchers are nice bcuz you can have them out near constantly, the sheer volume of missiles per seconds is what sells it for me. For me its a B tier (at least in PvE)

Thanks for this Video! Been over 15 years since I have played AC and this is helping me learn and get my build right!!!

The back plasma cannons with the 150 generator will do almost 10,000 damage on a punish they are insane

The Stun Needle is very interesting in its difference in pve vs pvp. In pve every single enemy can dodge it on reaction, making it that much harder to use - I only used it on staggered bosses outside of the Ice Worm fight. You can occasionally hit with it raw, but it's not nearly as consistent as it is in pvp.

This is the second Oroboro AC video I'm watching in a row, and it's the second time I'm learning a weapon didn't work like I thought it did: I use the laser drones AND I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD CHARGE THEM.

What's interesting is the main thing that I've been getting from all these different tier list videos is that the game is just incredibly well-balanced

The explanations were very very helpful, thank you!

I actually really like the whip on Bipeds. Its light swing is so quick that it catches people off guard up close, so using the first hit as an ACS confirm, then using the second swing for a bit of bonus damage is great. I like to use it with the laser shotgun and the shoulder needle missiles for a quick, hard to read swing

All of the kinetic rifles need a magazine size increase. All of them should have their range and velocity increased by about 20%. The cooldown after the charged shot on the Curtis should be cut in half there's no reason for it to be so slow. Additionally its charge time could be reduced a bit. By the way Scutum is pronounced 'scoot-um'.

I just realized hes missing the dual missile launchers the light ones that shoot off left and right then close in

Hey Oro! I wanted to offer a few tips i found that may help you and other players! 1.) The back plasma launcher is unique because unlike the back laser weapons, a charged shot does not affect the damage or blast radius very much at all. Instead it DRAMATICALLY increases the projectile speed, making it as fast as laser weapons and easier to hit stuff with, while still retaining the signature plasma AOE damage 2.) The aura pulse light cannon (or whatever it is) is not bad at all if you use the FCS-G2 P10SLT or P12SML! 3.) I think a lot of people misunderstand how missiles work! ALL missiles (including lightwave) automatically lock on to a single target, without any inputs from the player, regardless of whether you are locked on or not. The manual lock with missiles (by holding r1 or l1) is for MULTI TARGET LOCK ONLY. FCS that have high multi target correction reduce this time. The same is true for FCS with high missile lock correction. Bottom line, in PVP you won't need to do anything with your missiles to use them. As long as you see the yellow bar, you're good to fire 😊 4.) Medium laser rifle sucks. It is not equal with the other two.The VP-66LR and VE-66LRB are each better in their own way. Also the VE-66LRA has less ammo than either. 5.) Lastly (this one is my opinion, not supported by numbers) the triple laser cannon is not as good as the single one. It only does about double the damage (despite having three cannons?) And it has 24 shots. Each cannon fires a shot, so really you only get 8 shots, or 4 charged shots. For me, the regulular laser cannon or laser shotgun cannon are far better and more reliable.

The Huxley's are great for weapon reload downtime and the Trueno are nice lighter weight punish machines. The ALBA actually had a lot going for it surprisingly.

The scudder is better than the bursts imo. Maybe on paper the dps is less but in practice i land more shots with the scudder.

Thank you for the tier list man. I have no guidance on which weapon to go for but I may reference your list to at least guide me to have good builds. Awesome video :)

Great list thanks. I'd reconsider regular Plasma missiles tho - they have .3 seconds lock on and very good tracking, and some AOE to boot. I've seen it beeing used in ng+ speedruns as well so I think B is justified

PSA: this is a PvP ranking. That's why so many tiers look weird. I came in expecting a general tier list, then noticed he kept mentioning other players.

I was using the stake driver with the needle missile launcher with needle gun for a while. Super fun impaler build

I appreciate the effort you made to build chapters for each weapon on top of the rating. I would love to have a spreadsheet of this data too. This is my first AC game and I am learning a lot. I also love data. Your assessment of half the weapons had me laughing cause you would be like, "Gun ABC! OH here it is - this one the infamous ABC. Its terrible. But works in this way, Give it a B" you had me on a hell of a rollercoaster ride throughout. In the end I learned a bit about the weapons, the meta, and some basic interpretations on some things to think about when building a build. Thanks fella

Despite being a melee enthusiast I never tried the plasma thrower because I thought it was a ranged weapon that was sorted in with the melee weapons for some reason XD

“This thing is really good” C tier 😂😂😂

The Turner carried me through up until the SeaSpider. I used it on every build just to fill the air with lead and keep the pressure up on the enemy. It's also great against MT's although not as good as the Ransetsu-RF.

I have a bunch of different builds from heavy to light, but one of my strongest builds that I consistently win with is with full ephemera parts, dual laser handguns, and dual single shoulder plasma missiles. Really light, and with the generator that boosts energy weapons it shreds people almost instantly sometimes.

I'm definitely saving this for later tonight when I'm off thank you!!💪💪

The whip getting the praise it deserves! My current go to build for duels is a tetrapod with a harris, dual drones and the whip. You ride in like a sekiro boss and whip the shit out of them for easy stuns, followed with a harris charged shot. Its tanky, dirty and a whole lot of fun. And I am sure, going to be nerfed once people start realising how strong it is

Follow up question: Which, if any, of the S tier weapons do you believe need further balancing, and if so, how? Stuns and zimms are the big standouts for me, the delayed missiles I'm torn on (I run a light aggressive build, and they just mess up my playstyle so much... but that doesn't make them inherently OP). The Needle was a surprise to see included, and I feel like the coral shield would be in a far better place if stuns didn't exist. Would be great to hear your thoughts!

Correction: the jamming bomb launcher does not turn off ALL lock on. There is at least one weapon that can still have full lock on effect while a jam is active, and that's the container missile launcher. The mini missiles have a unique way of targeting that is based off of proximity to the target, meaning you can get full effectiveness from them while in a jamming bomb. It's pretty funny in pvp. Also, in defense of the cluster missile launcher: you do know it comes back, right? The first pass is easily dodged, but the second one is near guaranteed to blindside the opponent and deal absurd impact damage. You have to do quite a bit of kiting, but it's a valuable part of my all missile build, and I could see it pairing well with the assult rifles/burst rifles, with thier prowess for direct hit damage and ability to kite extremely effectively.

Great video man, looking forward to using this to help my builds!

Curtis rifle is good as long as you use the arms with the second best recoil control so you can spam them up close.

Been trying to shake things up a lot between playthroughs. On my 3rd now and have REALLY taken to tank legs combined with the flail (Plasma Thrower). It's an awesome tool both to interrupt aggression and BE aggressive since you can use it while moving in any direction.

The light lazer rifles are exeptional, at least in PvE, they shred enemies even without staggerring, kill light machines with one hand, kill MT's with two, and just rapid fire whilst strafing around anything bigger, the other two do kinda suck because they overheat so fast, but the light ones took me through my whole first playthrough and a good part of my other two as well.

I think the pulse cannons might deserve more experimentation. There's just no other shoulder weapon that you can use like a machine gun while also firing your left and right hand weapons. I guess really well managed bullet orbits kinda but it's still pretty different. I don't know if they really deserve B tier or anything but right now it doesn't seem like anyone is really even trying. EDIT: following up after experimenting and theorycrafting for a bit, it's definitely not trash but it has serious issues. C tier is probably right but I think it's a high C at least. If you get a stagger with ludlows or wuergers then just unloading with dual pulse cannons and your guns will do most or all of an AC's health bar in the duration of the stagger. That's far from unique but I think it's still impressive for the pulse cannons' weight tier, and they're a little easier to just use in neutral than most back weapons used in instant kill combos because they're fast and don't need you to stop moving. You can also use them sort of like an orbit that you have more control over, to get just a little more impact with weapons that fall just short of an insta-stagger. That works well with dual sweet sixteens for instance, but your punish isn't all that great. Still, by the time your shotguns reload you can be ready to instantly stagger again, so maybe you could just stay very aggressive with this loadout and try to chain staggers every few seconds. It only takes about 3 interactions to get a kill this way most of the time. The issue of course is mostly in heat management and their high EN load, but if either of those stats get buffed I think pulse cannons are primed to be very strong.

Glad to see someone finally pay attention to the laser drones. Timing them charged up right before a stagger feels so good while you unload with your main weapons. I found it to be really effective when running both to use one charged up and the other without charging to pressure the enemy while trying to build stagger Funnels >

Thank you for an amazing video and a very comprehensive list of the weapons!

“I dont know if it needed a buff” followed by “it’s still not great” lol

The Siege Missles for the Hand are just absolutely insane. Combined with any other well tracking or high damage shoulder weapon you can just make most bosses in the game completely irrelevant by staying back, pumping out thoses babies and following them up on a stagger with your shoulder weapons or even go full missile boat for no Interactivity whatsoever

I hope the needle missiles don t get either nerfed or buffed, they are the Perfect spot rn imo, dodgable but packs a punch, decent stagger, damage, fast projectlies and can be buffed with the missile FCS. Oh yeah i completed 3 playtroughts with Dual laser pistols, Like they are laser bazookas with the fire rate of a machine gun and the fool down isn t a problem.

I liked this. I will go ahead and do my own tier list soon since my perspective is very different, but it was interesting to see your insight on some of these weapons.

This was pretty valuable thanks

The javelin beta is really good for pressure in pvp with other high power missiles, i used them with the guided missile launchers and had a good run in pvp at least it forced them to focus on two projectiles of radically different speed

I think it’s actually funny that Stormruler is actually broken for once. Every other game it’s in it’s just a gimmick weapon for one boss and other then that it’s terrible. But for Armored Core 6 they decide to change that.

The regular hand missile launcher can be refired very quickly, has almost no lockon time, and when dual wielded, creates constant pester shots with a massive ammo reserve. Basically, I am able to keep pressure on at all times, with just enough cooldowns to swap to another weapon, fire, and swap back. Even the best players tend to fail to avoid all the missiles, and I have won quite a few wars of attrition with it due to the range and spam. Not claiming S tier, or even A tier, but a solid B. They are easier to consistently unload than any other missile launcher.

9:39 Despite having only 5 shots in the magazine, the needle gun has a pretty decent reload speed. Dual-wielding it and alternate firing with it, you can pretty much stagger almost any enemy AC and follow up with a melee attack.

I decided to try using the Vert Plasma Launcher for Juggernaut and I have fallen absolutely in love with it. The tracking is amazing, the AoE is massive, and the stun damage is disgusting. It's incredible, especially for melee punishes.

I love the WUERGER Laser Shotgun. Two of those with two of the Shoulder Mounted Pulse Cannons on a super light and fast AC were my S Rank setup for like 80% of the Missions.

I found a nice interaction with the Plasma Thrower and the Spring Chicken legs. The spring chicken's quick boost is this big hop that sends you flying, so if you qb at someone and hit the plasma thrower, most of that long animation happens while you're in the hop's forward momentum. Feels good, used it in my campaign for a while. Definitely easier to use with quads or tanks but the spring chicken is doable with a little skill. Just gotta be careful not to double tap it unless you know you've got the stagger setup.

from what I remember the Shoulder Pulse Cannon can be fired without recoil (or you need to stop moving to shoot/you won't need quad legs/tetrapods or tank tread legs to absorb recoil), and good as an alternate weapon for destroying pulse shields like for the Balteus-Arquebus fight. not OP or good for 1v1 PVP, has a niche use on PVE, and can probably be useful on 3v3 PVP provided you coordinated with party members to have specific setups/role focused ACs to cover each others shortcomings or units specialized for scenarios (i.e. one unit to focus on tanks and pulse shield removal, one to cover ground attacks, one to counter airborne/stick to air opponents, etc.).

I have been having a surprising amount of success with the Laser Turrets on a super tanky build rocking double Aperitifs in the hands. It's essentially the same old missile boat strategy, but instead of making yourself hard to get to by flying too high to reach you just surround yourself with laser boys to provide covering fire as you poke with missiles. If someone gets staggered in your pile of laser drones they easily take 40-50% of their health and if they don't approach you just spam missiles at them. It is the only build I got them to do anything particularly interesting on, however.

I wonder how dramatically this list would be different with a PvE focus instead of PvP

the grand majority being B and above is a good sign. some of the more egregious stuff should be toned down to A in future patches, but I'm guessing from the way last patch was they want to bring stuff up rather than shoot stuff down

to harp on the laser slicer a bit more the charge attack of the laser slicer also gives you passive damage reduction during the entire hop. through for the stun baton, if it had better status application it would be good and currently it's only viable attack is the charge attack.

Where's the bare fist

Great tier list, hopefully it encourages people to try out more unique weapons and builds

Very nice list. I was just thinking about AC6 tier weapon lists. Just an idea, maybe AC6 mission tier list in the future.

Dual scudders carried me through my first playthroughs non boss sections, the basically endless ammo count makes them so reliable

@Oroboro Pulse gun also break shoulder shield INSANELY fast and cause stagger. They are direct counter to anyone sporting a shield.

karasawa s-tier is interesting. i think it's a little bit worse than that, at least for the investment since it's the heaviest arm weapon in the game and the second heaviest energy requirement in the game.

The square shaped laser shotgun is s++ tier in my opinion for one simple reason: you can comfortably S rank the ALLMIND coral helicopter destroying mission while bringing nothing but 2 of those, with 0 stress involved and 0 conscious thought required. Other than that it's very fun to just driveby cap trash MTs/generic weaponry and turrets with it

thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

I mostly agree with this list, but there are 2 weapons I feel you rate a little low: the Nebula plasma rifle and the Curtis linear rifle. These guns to me seemed very underwhelming initially, but have performed unexpectedly well with a charged shot-focused treads build. For Nebula, it's definitely hard to land normal shots, but the charged shot has a massive proximity detonation radius. It is very consistent sub 200 meters and nigh-undodgeable in close range, and is pretty much heat neutral with a 128 EFS generator. Nebula acts as more or less guaranteed damage and impact with the option to spam normal shots for direct hit DPS. I have a quad-plasma build using two of these, and although I haven't played too much with it (

"X is SO REAALLYY REALLY GOOD--b tier."

I've actually been wanting to get away from my zimmersong set-up on treads (twin zimmers + twin songs), this gives me ideas on a more energy build for a change. Though does explain why the final boss of my first playthrough became so much easier after I swapped out for that stun needle launcher. I think that's gonna become my new mainline weapon. Probably keep song on the other shoulder as I don't have access to coral weapons yet or the needle launcher (might have to check though). However for main hands now feeling laser shotgun + chainsaw would be really strong, or laser pistol + stun pistol. I freely admit I've slept on the pistols in this game.

Loved the video! Very insightful. Could you do the same to the other bits like frames, boosters, generators, etc?

The stun baton does not suck at all lol. The charge attack sends you flying forward like a lance, and if it hits, plants a delayed bomb that triggers the electric status effect when it goes off for extra damage and a short stun animation on the enemy, as well as about half their stagger bar. To top this off, the cooldown is so insanely low that you can alternate between the boost kick and the charge attack for never ending infinite forward pressure

Nice, love tier lists, time stamps would have elevated this to the next level 😛

Pulse shield launcher also does a huge burst of impact damage if an ac runs into it

The reason people think the melees are bad is because they're using them wrong. The ones you may feel need work are actually great finishers. Face-rolling normal attacks of course will net you an L in PvP, but getting the stagger and charging up the stun baton or laser blade for a finisher works just fine.

The fact that you have the tuernos in A but not the x6 missiles or the split missiles. Is crazy. Literally the majority of these weapons are A tier in the right hands or right combo. I had someone reck me with qaud bubble guns. He had a constant stream. Thats the great thing about AC. 99% of the weapons are good, just depends on the situation and pilot skill.

Oro, youre sleeping on the stun baton. It is really good for melee cancelling and its charge does great damage as well as procs a stun blast. This stun blast allows you to follow up with another attack. There is no other weapon that allows this kind of combo

What I love about this game, is the fact that most people didn't care too much about what is meta or not. Even the weapon sucks, still can see someone having fun with it.

I love the non-energy weapons, I’m gonna hop online rn and use some of the other guns u mentioned 💯

i use the laser drones a lot. had noooo idea you could charge them lmao. awesome list. struggling lately against "meta" builds like dual zims and gatling trolls.
