Queen Drac Wraith

Updated design, changed to 99UL core.

Updated. I FINALLY HAVE A DESIGN I'M HAPPY WITH.

Updated design. Changed to FL arms for more speed, better cooling, and slightly more energy. I also went dual 69H in hangars for the added ammo.

That is like... a way inferior bot. Almost every part you listed is a downgrade from what Mari already as. HOURAI is a pretty strong bot. Fully loaded, this is a 450+ kph 8.5k AP with I want to say 1800/1700 defenses or somewhere close to that (defenses are pretty good either way). With it's AP and defenses, this is 1 of the tougher bots to crack. An issue I'm seeing with the ROC4 is that you sometimes fire it outside of it's effective range. This isn't a rare occurrence either. Every match we play it seems I see this happen multiple times. This might be me backpedaling because I don't want to brawl with ROC4/handgun, but you need to work on range control. Also, just a general tip: pay attention to the lock on reticule, it'll tell you which weapons are locked on. If you only see a range number on the left side, then your right weapon isn't locked on and vice versa. This bot needs to be played aggressively. Not hyper-aggressive, but aggressive. ROC4/handgun is a powerful CQC combo and your defenses help you to take hits better than other ACs. Basically, I see your AC as a potent brawler with missiles for longer range and hopefully a great punish with 69M/RM3 salvos. Don't be afraid to get close to enemies with this AC. ROC4/handgun is something I usually try to avoid brawling against since I may end up tanking more hits than I want to. In 1 of our matches last night with Panzerfaust, I think I had at least 4k AP and before I knew it, I was at like 1.6k IIRC. I won the match, but I was surprised how much damage I took. With Arctic Storm, I can't brawl against you. With my paper thin defense, I can't tank hits. Now, this AC is a MWB on COUGAR2 and packing some armor with it. Because of this, your handling isn't the best, so I don't suggest trying to get super crazy close. Getting super close is better for ACs with better handling. I found that with Arctic Storm, my best strategy is to get within 50m or so and use my handling to bulldog your lockbox and prevent you from getting hits while I hammer away with PIXIE3/69H. I saved the match where I successfully did this to you and won. Most of the others matches though, you did a good job of keeping enough range between us so that you were able to inflict more damage than I could to you. I need to work on my aggression and make it more coordinated than it currently is. Also: Panzerfaust's grenade launcher says hello.

Oh, ok. I won't make you watch them if you don't want to. As for Gamabunta, I'm sad that it's not working. It's a pretty cool bot (well, except for that stupid MV version of it).

If you guys don't mind, I'd like to hear your thoughts on anything I or anyone else could improve on. I'm mostly interested in how I did with "new" Arctic Storm (3 Cherries version) and Inquisitor.

Play what? LR? I already am. Speaking of LR, I'd be happy to fight you and Tearsin on Kai (coughthatsachallengecough). If you're talking about VD, then how about NO.

This AC is a true HWB design complete with armor and HW handling. Due to this AC's low handling, BP is used to fight off aggressors. HARPY and NYMPHE provide support at longer ranges where BP isn't as accurate. Tactics: Use HARPY first and try to get rid of it. BP is used mostly at closer ranges while NYMPHE a little bit further out. Drop back weapons early if the need arises. Known Issues: It's fat. PvP Information: This AC has had some success in PvP. BP has a way of smacking enemies. Of course, this AC can have ammo issues and also suffers from being fat. I'd say it's about mid-tier. -------------------------------------------------- Notes: Smacking things is fun.

AC Name: Infestus AC Game: Armored Core Last Raven Classification: Lightweight Bipedal Core Type: OB w/Storage Revision: 1.0 -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Frame: Head | Core | Arms | Legs H81S4 | YC010/UL2 | A88FG | LH84L2 0/0/5/5/0 | 0/0/5/5/0 | 0/0/5/5/0 | 0/0/5/5/0 Internals: Booster | FCS | Generator | Radiator VULTURE2 | LIMPET | LOTUS | ANANDA 0/10/0/0 | -N/A- | 0/10/0 | 0/0/10 Armaments: Inside | Extension | R Back | L Back URCHIN | GAR | NYMPHE | WB69RA R Arm | L Arm | R Hanger | L Hanger PIXIE3 | WH01HP | -N/A- | WH69H Optional Parts: AMINO | O69ES | O69SS | O71EC | O79L+ | CODON | MARISHI -------------------------------------------------- Frame Color: Normal - Base | Aid | Opt | Det | Jnt R: 050 | 030 | 050 | 200 | 060 G: 050 | 030 | 050 | 000 | 050 B: 040 | 030 | 050 | 000 | 030 Weapon Color: R Back | L Back | R Arm | L Arm | R Hangar | L Hangar BLACK | BLACK | BLACK | BLACK | -N/A- | BLACK -------------------------------------------------- Statistics (post NYMPHE/GAR drop): AP: 7667 Weight: 6284 (5721) EN Supply: 2533 (2983) Max Boost Speed: 462 (501) Turning Speed: 1408 (1427) Stability: 5385 (5395) Cooling: 15207/17581 Def Shell/Energy: 1433/1654 -------------------------------------------------- Description: Infestus: Latin for "dangerous, hostile." This is another LWB designed for aggression. The frame is designed for maximum speed and handling, allowing for overwhelming speed and precision during aggression. The NYMPHE/GAR combo allows me to use HP instead of R3 for the left arm, reducing weight and increasing the size of the lockbox. Tactics: NYMPHE/GAR should be used first to try and get AP lead. The missiles are used from further back while the arm weapons are used up close. This AC will most likely be using hit-and-run tactics to help control the fight and to help prevent getting caught with low energy and potentially bust. Known Issues: Stability isn't the greatest. This AC also can't recover fast from a genbust, so care needs to be used when piloting. PvP Information: None. -------------------------------------------------- Notes: Aggression is fun.

GIT GUD OWEN.

Me just having some fun with a joke LW. http://youtu.be/6HiKCL5P0fs A horrible version of Arctic Storm being horrible. http://youtu.be/FdarxGVSueM

They should fight you on Kai and beat you in a best of 5 series of matches before you even consider being on the show.

I tried R2 with this design and it didn't really work well. R2 is certainly a good weapon, but I find it weak. After the missiles are gone, a lone R2 doesn't generate damage that fast. It may work better with handgun support (I used R2 mainly with a blade), but that means getting closer than I want to most of the time. RS is also really good at getting AP lead and forcing people out into the open so that the missiles can do their thing, something valuable on maps like Advance Base where this overhead cover that renders an attack from above almost useless unless properly setup. I still need to experiment more with this setup, but I like it. It also has a WRAITH underneath it, so this AC is pretty much good. This AC would probably be better with 99UL, but it takes some of the fun out of this AC. Besides, I'll never get better with OB if I never use it.

PD KEEPING US UPDATED ONCE AGAIN. Also, why name it Owen? This AC plays like something Nob would use. Hmm, considering the original intent was a sniper AC, Sniper Nob may be a good name for it.

Since when did I say that they quack?

I like the first picture. I don't like the second picture, it just doesn't feel right to me.

I actually have a bot that I ended up playing like him (RS/R3 with verts and OB) and I was thinking of using his name for bot name, guess that wouldn't be the best idea now that I think about it, don't want to disrespect anybody. I'll go with another name for it then that isn't potentially offensive.

Thank you very much PD, I now have the information to complete a task, a task you shall know soon enough.

Hey PD, do you remember the name of the guy in that AC3 tourney who just OB around edge of map with sniper rifle and stuff? I asked TM and he said something that starts with a "t" but I forget the rest.

Updated design.

Tree frogs are the second longest jumping animals relative to body size (source), so it is fitting for this design to be an RJ. The LRJ84M legs have the highest jumping in the game, allowing this AC to get high in the sky. Being a small frog, it's squishy. It's not designed to slug it out in a gun fight, so it uses the FUNI/MV/HMN combo for massive damage and to help confuse the opponent while RS is used to help control the fight. Tactics: Some maps aren't the most friendly to the missile setup (Advance Base mainly), so the RS can be used to get AP lead and force the opponent to have to deal with the missile onslaught which is launched from above. This AC prefers to stay high in the sky and uses it's jumping ability to help get up there. Known Issues: It's squishy: low AP, low defenses, and super low stability. PvP Information: This design and it's previous versions have fared decently in PvP. The biggest issue with this design is that it can't take many hits, so care has to be used when piloting. If the pilot gets careless, then victory could escape. Other than that, I'd say this is 1 of my stronger designs. -------------------------------------------------- Notes: It's not phat like some other frogs and/or toads.

Super intense fight:

This should keep you all happy until I get the last 3 videos uploaded.

Added second video, . I was nice and linked it here too. I think this was 1 of my best matches, there is just 1 thing mainly I did that I think cost me the match. Let's see who can figure out what it is.
