People are using this awesome generator wrong in Armored Core 6 

they all serve a perpouse you just need to use everything for a particular purpose, and the coral stuff is great for making everything red the only correct color

i love going into a match with only mele and totaly thrashing people i watch see what their build is for and then when its my turn i use that and CRUSH THEM! im the DEVIL

@@rebeccachambers4701 a very specific purpose that one is

Damn i didn't even realize. its a very unique generator @@LikelyFeral

Thank you for making this great guide, I hope you can do the same of other underappreciated parts!

They DO look great

It also affects the Assault Armor aesthetic. Absolutely *beautiful* !

if ur playing on pc there's a mod in nexus mod for generator colors, now u dont have to worry about disadvantage for using "cool" generator

@@MaximilianBrandt man of culture

Speaking truth

True

For sure! Just have to be able to fit the behemoth :D

@@LikelyFeral Luckily, I found the right quad mech for it.

Weirdly having poor energy management utilizes it well on a spring chicken reverse jointed legs too Being able to spam dodge then glide for several seconds then spam dodge again

Most importantly these also give the best energy weapon damage boosts. Making them very effective with energy builds.

You know, a good amount of mediumweight builds can hold it. Until I swapped my TURNER out for the REDSHIFT Coral Rifle I had enough weight to use the NGI 000 with extra weight to spare, but now with the REDSHIFT I continue to use the AORTA since it's the only Coral Generator I can use without getting overburdened.

The Gundam game we never got

You can with either of the coral ones actually, use them up fully mid flight with enough height (aim slightly up whilst AB-ing) and even a fully-stocked max-weight tank can fly infinitely. I used it to fly straight to the guy Carla asks you to take out.

@NoisyRen have you not played Battle Operation?!?

​@@jon2153i can't because the server suck

@jon2153 I haven't, actually. Always ment to, just never found the time.

Love how unique they are

the one time they're optional is during the sky-high mission of fighting the vesper warships, and it's great.

@CallofDutyBlackOps28 one of my top missions!

All the coral stuff looks great!

I love the details that have gone into the lore. Really adds to the immersion and experience in my opinion.

You're basically almost turning your AC into a C-Weapon, and I love it

With the quad kick you even hack the spinning chopper blades lol

Hover tank is true aerial missile boat

Holy shit my death from above gundam needs that.

Can u make a build

@@raghebyared8177 potentially. I've got several others in the pipeline to do first :)

They do! Not everyone realizes the contextual help is a thing. Super usefull

idk if its fair to say that they are hidden, u dont want stats covering ur screen all the time while asembling

@@lchn12345678 That's fair for the right side stats which are mostly "overall stats" for the whole AC. But the left side stats show less than half the actual stats on each piece of gear. I think it would be better if it showed "simplified stats" or something, that gave you a general idea of how an item performs, and then let you dig into advanced stats if you wanted. Instead it shows the full advanced stats, but leaves half of them off screen. I just unlocked this reactor the other day myself, and looking at it I couldn't figure out why I'd ever want to use it, since it had stats about 1/4 of the reactor I already had equipped when I unlocked it. Then I hit the detailed stats button and I could tell why someone would want to use it.

I think its the expanded stats that make AC6 a very special game. The amount of thought and work that went into balancing every part, making sure they all have a place in the game must of been staggering.

A lot of parts have key differences hidden in there. For example, one FCS chip heavily favors missile builds and gives you greatly enhanced lock on speed and multi missile accuracy. But if you only look at the basic stats you'll only see its close, medium and long range functionality. With boosters, an important stat is its own ideal weight capacity. If you go over it, you will suffer a delay in your QB recovery. (making you wait untill you can QB again regardless of your energy bar) So a booster with great stats might only be suitable for very light builds. Or one that has lower stats might be better if you're heavy. Offcourse, tank thread AC's don't have to worry about thos sunce they get built in boosters for free.

Yep. A little weird at first, but great to use.

I mean it was pretty obvious that there will be a generator specified on post recovery supply. Otherwise why make stats if the generators are all the same. I saw so many ppl saying never to empty your energy but I knew its bs even before unlocking these specific ones.

​@@JK-jw3poWell, emptying your generator is still generally a bad move, unless you're doing one of the following: • Using the reverse-joint's jump unboosted to dodge around enemy ACs while waiting for a generator with a low recharge delay (or the coral gens) to kick in. • Strategically buffering assault boosts in place of quick boosts and carefully managing your energy, then burning out on a melee combo once the target's attitude stability is broken (particularly enabled by these generators). • Remaining airborne for a prolongued period of time in a quad, relying on a generator with low delay and high recharge (or, once more, the coral generators' instant refill) to continue flight without ever touching down. I'm sure there will be other strategies discovered, each more off-meta than the last, but it certainly doesn't suit every mech out there. The most valuable usage of the Institute's inventions is sheer, unbridled _style._

Good insight

Exactly just all your EN load and no worries. Also works well with Reversed joints. Your defensive option of jumping is great if you ever empty your generator on the ground

​@bobikoart yea surprised a few ppl haven't picked up on that, jumping with reverse joint in itself is a great mobility tool and can be a semi dodge/qb in its own right, just use all ur energy qbing then when your out jump and then by the time you've fallen back to the ground... BOOM all your energy back.. I still have to learn how best to manoeuvre in pvp with it as still get my ass handed to me but still it is a useful generator when you get the idea around it

This is how i use it on my ultralight sub 0.4qb shotgun menace build

Reversed joint jump into AB is my fav. AB increase damage a tons and can’t miss at close range.

A great one for RJ for sure

A fair point, a very large capacity difference.

​@@LikelyFeralbut heavy as hell

That's what I'm thinking. Kinda like using the VP-20D generator on a Nacthreiher frame. It's also lighter than the VP-20D, so even more weight room.

Yea, it works awesome for that.

There we go. That explains where I got the NG 000. I was convinced I got it from killing Ibis! xD

Hmm, hadn't thought of it that way

Haha love it

Just be careful where you land 😉

Thanks!

just paint red and make a sazabi

Good discovery :D

🤣

Funny, I just commented on a GG thread

I do like the VP line, but yea, this one seems to gel well for alot of people.

yeah, new players tend to mismanage their EN usage and go red lots of time this generator is way less punishing for that kinda reckless playstyle

Love a lore tie-in

Yep. Does have that same combat flow too of very aggressive followed by a brief moment of downtime.

Glad you learned something new!

Love a lightweight with beefy gen

Falling straight down is faster, makes you harder to hit

It's really just to demo how fast it recovers too. The actual build has better gameplay, just wanted to focus on the generator and gave a quick plug to the build video itself 😜 you could even go hover legs for more shenanigans

@@LikelyFeral ah yeah that makes sense lol

Freefall is useful for dodges tho, and it builds up en slightly faster

When you glide, you recover slower than straight falling

A good combo for sure

@@LikelyFeral And more thing, remember Sea Spider in second phase? I think spider legs build with that generator makes you hover forever. Makes it long range against enemies so i think using Nebula and Vvc-703PM as a back weapon, hard to miss AOE + quick reload after Nebula charge shot and back weapon shots = spamming plasmas overload, then Songbirds after you shoot plasmas for nice stagger combo while the enemies tried to dodging away from AOE then go for Pile Punker as a finisher against staggered enemies, high chance of staggering enemies and bosses much quicker but it makes you slow while hovering with those legs(situational for some missions) or just go with Spring Chicken leg build with those weapons for fast mobility suitable for S-Ranking missions very easily because it's fast and tanky alongside double stun needle and double gatling gun meta build. I haven't finished the game yet so i have this build in chapter 3.

Nice

Nice, been around a while!

Yep. The weight too, but it is really nice

Oh that's a great idea to cover for the recharge window.

Okay, now that's a combo I'll have to try out, having coverage for most/all of that time is the missing piece for me.

Indeed!

yeah nebula is the best gun for flying with coral generator

The "redshift" version of the Nebula is also very good with the coral generators, I believe coral weapons actually get a damage boost from it.

Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful 😃

Agreed, that style works well

I found it useful on a reverse joint melee build. Assault boost into charged laser lance into charged pile bunker is great for keeping the attack chain running while the generator recharges.

I'll definitely have all sorts of info coming out soon :)

haha looks like you are in good company here.

Seems like it completely changes how you manage energy, benefitting co.pletely draining the bar instead of preserving it

Yep! You aren't alone in that, so I wanted to get an explanation out so people could use them.

Yep, it's definitely an interesting choice.

Haha may be just right then

Haha you don't seem to be alone in that

I only recently got into really aggressive CQC pressure with heavyweights, and I find myself running out of energy to due to both QB and AB. Don't have the heavier version of this generator yet, but I may give the lighter version a shot to see if it works out.

Sure thing 👍

Haha everyone loves the red!

Upgraded!

yeah it’s only good if you lean into that playstyle, if you aren’t going red frequently other generators will still have more “uptime” overall

They can be good for that for sure. Just have to watch out for that vulnerable window afterwards.

after watching this video last night it really got me rethinking my approach to builds, even though it might be considered skillful to manage ur en and not bottom out to get faster recharge on normal generators, i think it might be a good or even better approach to just constantly spam qb and bottom out on a coral generator, cuz if u consider the qb spam semi invulnerable, it makes ur windows of vulnerability much fewer and farther between, also u have to consider normal generators recharge pretty slow if u dont have excess output, but coral u get the majority of the bar back, so in reality i think the window of vulnerability of normal generators are not that much smaller than a coral generator

Yep, a good point.

Haha whoops, now they know. Have to come up with a new secret tech

All true, a good point.

The only legitimate reason lol

🤣 🎂

Yep, it's super slow if you don't fully drain it.

Seems like alot of people were 👍

Nice! Glad it was helpful.

It sure is!

The 20C is awesome too. 👌 love the red color, and the alternate death animation.

That is a blast

Definitely have great capacity, glad they are working well for you 👍

Yep! The ultimate missile boat

There are too many mediocre Gundam games 😔

Agreed

Yep, there's certainly other ways to do it if you can get enough energy recovery. :D

Glad it was informative

Could be. Short high speed bursts

You are very welcome.

That it will

It IS COOL THOUGH

That's the spot 👌

Good to test 👍

Yep! Lots of people missed it.

Hope it works well for you!

Glad to see some orbit love.

Yep, a significant difference

Yep

Love that combo too!

That will get you through the game and more lol

Glad to see the vets around the help guide the new generation.

You're very welcome 👍

Yep, specialized for sure but very good for the builds that like them.

Yea, so long as you can fit it, seems like a great choice.

For sure. It's still bad on most of them, but these two are a nice exception.

Haha yea, the timing can be a bit tricky at first.

That it does! Looks awesome 👌

Hope it's useful to you!

For sure

Glad you like it! Thanks for the sub.

Thanks :)

I'm glad!

A good tactic

A great way to go with it

Seems to be no huge issue for beefy tanks to have that downtime.

Absolutely. Goes great on RJs. Just like there's an art form to managing NOT running out of energy, there's also one to managing WHEN to run out.

Glad you like it! This one's popular

Isn't it! Just massive. Love it.

You don't see too many!

Yep, tons of stats not shown on the main screen :)

Yep, on a rounded building

@@LikelyFeral Its funny because in that exact mission itse useful for chasing the helicopter.

Check it out for sure!

Haha AC too. Hard to break old habits

What more could you want haha

That's the plan!

Nice!@@LikelyFeral

The setup on screen actually charges from empty in 3, I eventually timed it. Still a while, but not so bad.
