I didn't like Michigan because he was such an oorah military guy, but he grew on me and on the mission where you go to beat him up he just bigs you up and as someone pointed out he knows the names of the MT operators under him. He's just a fun guy. The other Guns are bad and don't even get me started on the dang Vespers!

once again advocating for the strategy of "just fly around." the only time that I've died to that final boss is when I forgot to switch my FCS after loving around with long range stuff and couldn't ever hit it. i do not know what any of the attack animation tells are or how you're supposed to dodge everything and I still gently caress up constantly but I've still S ranked it whenever I've tried a burst DPS build. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KowWahCFm1k you can also can 100% just fly around shooting missiles at it and win. it takes a lot longer though so i don't think you can S rank it this way. you also probably want a faster AC than what I had here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRdR-bo3olA

Well I ended up just cheating and using a big mech to tank through it. Didn't feel earned at all but at least it's done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PREcuJpggK0 Sorry for the washed out video, it's because of HDR. Also, I kept accidentally activating my boosters because that's what happens when you try to activate the Assault Shield when it's not ready

Beat ng++ with 1 ap. Terminus shield for the win, baby! Lol My only critique of this beautiful game is that the songbirds are too good. I can’t not run them. Nothing else compares to their Damage, weight/en load, reload time, and double shot which can still connect if the first shot misses

And if you read most of the red guns information, they are a bunch of criminal scum that he is literally beating into shape like some sort of militarized reform school. So he's extra hard on most of them. I honestly hope a dlc/expansion features a reformed red guns led by I don't know, Hermit, we can say Hermit made it right?

Volte posted:The hell, whenever I tried to fly up and stay high like that it just shot straight up next to me and juggled me with an impossible to dodge mid-air sword combo it's probably speed and direction thing. iirc the AC set up i S ranked it with hits around 450ish speed when ascending and 550ish when descending. the bosses seem to mostly be designed to hit players if they're at a fixed altitude, either on the ground or hovering as a tetrapod. just going up fast or down fast throws them off a lot

I've made a bunch of builds based on bosses. There's some give and take on form vs function , but if you're on PS5 I've shared them all:code:I've tweaked them all and most of them can put up some fight in the NEST. They can all handle the arena, but only a few of them can beat end bosses. War Wizard fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Sep 10, 2023 |

Big Bowie Bonanza posted:Nothing to learn from them ya ...yeah, they're better than you, or me, or the other guy. But you can still learn from them by watching what they do and asking yourself why. When he 'dodges into the sword,' he's specifically waiting for a momentary 'slow motion' frame the boss is taking before it swings through, and the dodging through opposite of the sword. If he dodged to the right, literally into the swing, the early part of the swing would catch him, while dodging left means he's got a few more frames to get clear before the sword can hit.  "I don't want to spend time analyzing a fight to figure out how it works" is a valid answer, and far be it from me to tell you what to do with your time, but lol, lmao at this soggy cardboard "that's the best gamer ever, nothing for it" poo poo.

TBH its easier to do that mission without back weapons at all, just two main weapons strong enough to pop em in one and reload fast enough to not slow you down. the back weapons just add weight that detracts from the most important stat: Speed

The lightest arm mounted missiles will knock one out in one volley. Match back ones more or less and you can poo poo missiles at each target once and move on to the next set.

They've got solid range, can fire super fast (2.5 shots a second EACH) and can be fired for a long time without overheating (plus my 150 energy weapon bonus generator reduces cooldown. they basically can be fired endlessly between songbird burst and dodging around). just uh, don't be too close when those targets pop (though, even if you are, who gives a poo poo, no one's hitting my zippy spaz of a mech) as per the songbirds, i caught one that passed me with them so  regardless, game's great

Finished NG+ and killed Walter with a rocket cheesebuild. Just equipped the all around fcs and zippy tank legs and loaded up on the Carla launchers and just chain fired from a distance. Still had to do a fair bit of dodging for the curvy beam weapon attack.

After three nights of attempts, learning how to dodge, how to break pulse shields, and how to be much more aggressive: with just 2000 AP remaining, no repair kits remaining, and the boss at ~20%, one last ditch overboost -> assault armor -> sword swipe -> stagger -> unload everything combo, and Balteus is finally down.  I am so bad at these kind of bosses but the rush you get from them at the end is exhilarating. I had to walk away from the game for an hour because of how bad my hands were shaking.

I just realized I should use the shoulder gun drones with my shotgun + chainsaw build. It went from "lol" to "lmao". Then I started making pokemon with Carla's "wing" missile launchers, like Zapdos, and Charizard.

The truenos in ng++ felt like a really good songbird replacement to me. If you use a missile lock fcs they can really course correct, or you can just yolo them out on slow/staggered targets. Just really cool weapons IMO
