The one and onlyy CHRIIIIGGHHHTTT
Honestly, From Soft should just hire you. This is by far the best explanation of the patch notes I've seen.
Greetings, V.VIII Chrightt here. I have some patch notes you should know about
The patch seemed to have fulfilled his Crightteria
😂 I hate and love this at the same time.
@@Chrightt you got a bot posting in your comments. You've officially made it.
Note that Dizzy has a much shorter range compared to before, which means with all the changes dodging it will be incredibly difficult
I heard the range is shorter but is roughly the same if you account for the aoe size.
The range only feels shorter because now the shell will detonate when it detects an enemy within the blast radius, so if you fire it straight at the enemy it'll explode before actually hitting its maximum effective range.
In fact, this actually increases the weapon range because you can hit enemies further than the effective range as long as it's within the shell's blast radius to trigger the explosion
@@TheAnaz41745 "GRENADE “DIZZY”: increased Total Rounds/Projectile Speed, decreased Reload Time. Effective Range also adjusted. Rounds now explode upon reaching their Effective Range, even if they don’t make contact"
They shortened the effective range to like 285 or something and now it detonates at that spot, there is no "detonate nearby" thing. This is easily tested by using manual aim and shooting past an enemy very close!! Please do not spread untested misinformation!
@@w3yr there was an almost 400 or so range decrease, the 90 blast radius doesnt make up for that at all
Dizzy cant snipe in pve against stationary targets anymore, but it can almost always hit moving targets because of the changes
@@AutistiCat2406 What I see here is they are trying to make some variation within Grenade Launcher, so if you want to have more long range potential, you pick Gou-Cheng whose effective range is unchanged, while Dizzy and the other one (Irdium I think?), with their shortened range, now function more as a mid-range weapon with their predictable explosion timing.
The AURORA missiles are actually meant to be used at close range. Around 100m or so, they'll never miss their target (unless they dodge, obviously). They're kind of like a back-mounted guided energy shotgun.
With their new EN load they make a decent tracking laser weapon. OK damage while being fire and forget
Laser Turret fired 6 shots before expiring prior to the patch, and now fire 10 shots before expiring. They feel like they have the same overall duration, though I never timed what it was before the patch. So its a pretty significant boost, about 66%, if that is indeed the case.
Thank you for being such a great content creator!
Thank you guys for watching my content! :D
Ooohh! I found your channel about three days ago, and already I'm building much more solid ACs - I love your presentation, methodology, and conclusions. Thankyou!
Welcome aboard! :D
@@ChrighttI was making pretty good acs before possibly to good with no meta weapons that I got kicked out of most lobbies and was called a meta abuser of topic I know but still also thanks for the breakdown on the hidden mechanics if you read this I have a question how exactly does melee lunge distance get calculated I get inconsistent results with a given melee depending on my weight it seams. Sorry for the wall of text good video
Your content actually helps me understand the stats and builds in a smarter way. Been playing AC since the beginning and you're educating me a lot.
Great work, lad. Seriously
A build I've been enjoying is a tetrapod with dual Xuan-Ge grenade launchers and twin dual missile launchers. The reload times, especially now, mean you can easily cycle one of them per second, every second. It's relentless.
Prior to this patch, double zimmies and songbirds/needles are very rampant in PVP
After this patch however, players seems to have more fun in variety builds. Heck, the second room I entered after the patch was full of Bad Cooks instead of zimmies
Dual Flamethrowers and Dual Mini Plasma Drones are fun... If you don't get hard stunned in 3v3s.
I fought a Zimmerman player last night using the shield launcher and laser turrets, and he disconnected after the first round.
@@DeathScyther006
That is their first mistake... Never use the Shoulder Mounted Shield Launcher when actual Shoulder Shields are much better and free of ammo.
But if you're using Drones. Always dual wield it. Otherwise, pick any Seeker Launcher to force the enemy to QB out. Single Shoulder Drones are not good in PvP.
As for dual Zim post patch... Pick any Pistol, SMG, or close ranged burst weapon and dual wield it.
Very few weapons like every Rifle and Launchers can go well with Melee weapons. But not every weapon can. Such as, SMGs because it becomes garbage if you're just using one.
And this is 3v3s, from my experience.
@@DeathScyther006 laser turrets are completely busted. They require zero skill to use. These weapons that don't require any aiming or timing should be removed from the game
Genuinely great balancing patch. Feels like the changes were very thoughtful. I actually can’t think of much else that needs rebalancing.
Maybe a minigun acc. impact need to be turned down for a little bit but aside than that.....idk
I think the wheelchair legs need to be taken down a bit more. Either more en usage and/or less load limit.
Coral shields, paired with high impact res ACs. Permaglide, wheelchair tank, rebula, just to name a few thoughts
Also, since AB speed got nerfed on heavier ACs, it's more power to backpedal missile spam ACs. If you're not light and fast enough, getting in close to get the AP lead without losing can be all the more challenging
lightweight missile builds are even more of a pain than they were before, and wheelchairs definitely need to get hit again
Double stun guns
glad your curse in intact, because this patch was great. also it means you make more content. the auroras have been my favorite weapon since i first got them but they were pitiful. id still like to see a slight buff to ammo count and lockon time but theyre usable now
They also need to tweak the random deviation thing slightly so it doesn't miss with one or two missiles every so often.
The Aurora would be very cool if From increased the guidance.
Just got your book, very excited to read while at work. Also thank you for the timely updates as usual
Wohoo!!! Hope you enjoy!
The only thing that hurt me in this patch, was I have an AC I use for fun or to troll the meta spammers. It's a wheelchair double badcook build. It would do TONS of DPS and the status buildup make the stagger happen pretty fast. Now, I never stagger with them, even in 3v3 while I'm roasting an opponents AC from behind until I have to cool down. So, the badcook flamethrower because of the buff to almost all head pieces, makes the ACS strain almost a non factore. I've noticed that with my twin stun gun builds, they don't build up that electric damage and stagger like they use to, making them just a why bother kind of weapon.
Highlight for me ended up being the generator rebalance giving more reasonable options for any given AC.
I find it remarkable that the VP-44D still seems like the best in its weight class unless you need something specific
Was waiting for your coverage, happy to have it. Thank you as always!
Love the detail in your videos, makes every one of them a must watch. Beautiful work.
Thanks for being on top of this Cright. Having numbers is good and all, but having a visual representation and explanations is a massive help.
The pistol ammo change is my favourite because I was huge on the sampu for a while. I just couldnt use it in pve cause of the ammo count. It even came up sometimes in pvp..
Yeah, I tried to run them in PVE and I always run out... It was just unbearable, so I'm really glad for the ammo boost too.
Same deal with the ducketts before their ammo buff
I remember trying to fight any boss that wasn’t Walter with them or another ac was a lost cause especially iguazu and ayrie
Barely get through their shields or health before running out of ammo
@DD-zh4by not having enough ammo was the problem if you tried to beat ayre or igazu you would run out of ammo before the second phase of on iquazu he just had to much health oh ye and snailtaus to
Recently watched a bunch of your vids and now my acs are all insane I love understanding stuff!
Brilliant explanations, loved the Trueno illustration!
I was already using Hokushi before the patch, now it feels really incredible.
I'm rather happy with weapon balance at the moment, certainly a high point so far. I still think the Turner and Scudder need some more help though. They're direct damage focused kinetic guns, so they struggle with impact, but energy weapons do that raw damage job significantly better. Reasonable to good impact is how a lot of kinetics close the gap, and as far as the mid range that rifles thrive in turner and scudder feel much worse than options like the Ransetsu RF and the Harris.
And of course if the Turner needs help the Ransetsu AR needs a lot of help.
I think above all else, the Turner needs a few more rounds in its mag because it always seems to run out just a moment too soon.
I got the Scudder recently and it feels like a straight upgrade over the Turner: More DPS, more impact, more range, and more damage per mag, but with easily affordable recoil, weight, and EN load increases. Even the Scudder's lower rate of fire seems like an upside because taping down the Turner's trigger just empties its tiny mag faster; With either one of these guns it's worthwhile to treat it like a semi-auto sometimes to make the shots count.
I'm enjoying the Scudder a lot but I haven't even tried the Ransetsus despite the RF being the only rifle I've seen in PVP out of the entire selection available.
@@agentoranj5858 Ransetsu RF isn't fully automatic like the Turner and Scudder. You can think of it as being somewhere between those and the Curtis and Harris railguns actually, as it behaves similarly to them. It has overall better non charge attack performance than those guns, and performs exceptionally well at the mid range where Turner and Scudder work best. I do recommend it.
Love your content, the most in-depth analysis of AC6 that can be found
Chrightt, thanks a ton for this breakdown. I really appreciate it. I don't PvP, but if I did, I'd feel like I knew where to start because of your videos and cost/benefit analysis
The bazookas are now very deadly in pvp, because you're likely to get hit before the warning sound triggers.
The added grenade airburst and aurora buffs are amazing and fun to play around too.
You can blame hit registration for bazookas hitting you even though you heard the warning beep and dodged.
Hit registration in online PvP + bazookas = sorcery-level shenanigans, even when both parties have the exact same internet and zero lag. I got utterly balled over by one bazooka user this morning precisely because of hit registration. You think you dodged, but because the hit registers on your opponent's end, it still counts as a hit (and a bazooka hit is painful because of its high stagger and damage).
@@RenkaKuroganealso doesn't help that lag influences pvp matches so much.
I've had matches where I get staggered by projectiles that comes out a week after I died. There's also the problem of enemy projectiles not showing up on your screen due to lag as well.
@@RenkaKurogane In old Armored Core games you dont have a Warning that the Enemy shoots with the Bazooka. You Outplayed Bazooka Players with Range back in the Days.
@@DevouringKing And then 4 Answer happened with the infamous blade spiders. So crazy fast to hit and one jab of their laser blades can usually down your victim in one hit.
Range? What's that? Can't hear you say range when I'm already in your face with my sword.
@@RenkaKurogane For Answer is a New Armored Core for me. I mean with Back in the Days, the Armored Core 1 and 2 Tournaments i was playing at.
Laser turrets have been favorite buff of the patch. I tried to use them when the game dropped but they were basically unusable. With the buff they now attack frequently enough to do the job they were made for. Ive been running a lightweight dual needle gun build with double turrets and its been amazing
Dude your content is just gold
Another great and informative video, keep up the great work!
I keep getting answers to my questions on your videos.
ok that really is useful! I didn't know about the ideal weight for QB. Thanks man :)
i feel like fromsoft is just watching your videos to come up with patch ideas lol
I doubt I would be finishing up NG++ without these guides. Thanks Chright! AC6 has become my favorite fromsoft game and given me a new perspective on other games by FS. Can’t wait to go revisit games like DS, Bloodborne and Elden ring with the lessons I’ve learned playing AC.
I love this latest patch, the Yaba generator now suits my needs as I don't run energy weapons and offensively both my mainstay Harris and especially the Majestic have been noticeably improved!
The king of AC6 breakdowns once again gifts us with knowledge. Excellent video, once again 🙏
So glad to be subscribed.
thank you for that Chrightt
Been waiting from this. You're the king in AC6 analysis.
Thanks for your hard work mate.
Love the content keep up the great work bro
You’re the man, appreciate so much your very valuable input in the AC community. Please keep up the great work, my friend!
Thank you for your service
Thanks for the hard work
Thanks for the breakdown! The Charge Rifles look fantastic now. Super fast charge to really open up that high impact and engage at a further range than being able to smell the enemy ACs oil
Great video! Hope this means patch tomorrow
One major thing I’d like to see is a major decrease in recovery animation for melee attacks. Tbh I don’t see any need for the AC to stop and pose in midair at all after they do a melee slash. They should be able to do it and keep going in one fluid motion. Same as how you can shoot a gun or missiles while assault , and it doesn’t make you come to a complete stop
One answer exists: quick boost. That will solve your issue, but running out of EN leaves you more vulnerable.
Moonlight and its coral counterpart don't have that long, recovery animation. This feels like a deliberate balancing choice.
@@Corrodias true, imagine not even needing a quick boost to strike again with melee, back-to-back dicing up with little delay.
Ty for the break down.
The yaba generator is now my default generator
Thanks again for the deep dive Chrightt
This breakdown was really easy to follow, it's really nice that the current wave explosive builds are gonna be interesting
The coral oscillator is still very broken, but in a different way. On certain armor pieces the charged attack will simply miss/won't work at all and is such a kick in the ass given how hard is to get the damn thing.
Not hard to get apart from the death wheel enemies why fromsoft I’s obsessed with death wheel enemies I don’t know
Also god if that’s true then they gotta fix that
@@nathankelly5976 it's true, but the way to trigger it is a enigma with how the hell it even works. There's some unpredictible combinations of parts that it happens on.
there was a theory that the reason for that was not having enough energy capacity for the charged attack. is that not it?
@@cridus_ no it’s not that makes 0 sense if you are able to sortie you can use any equipped weapons your weight might be high or if your using bay weapons certain combos may overburden your arms but that’s the stupidest theory
Chright is the Man!
My AC build have been really decent since watching your vids. Thank you for all this.
Finally can use pistols without needing to use the shoulder slot as a pseudo ammo pack with a second pistol.
Man you would've been a great teacher😂. Thankd for the awesome video as always.
Excellent analysis as always Master Chrightt. The 1 thing I'm not truly happy about is the huge Assault Boost nerf. Too many from too many sides, impact reduction during AB being the one bothering me the most... but it might be compensated by the parts' general increase in attitude stability so we'll see.
Can't wait for your next breakdown and thanx for the amazing effort you put into this.
Please keep uploading so we can keep getting amazing patches
Been waiting for this, boiyo!
I stayed up late the night before the patch watching your video... then had to laugh when they patched the next day. I feel your pain!
Thank you for your insights. I'm an old wow gamer(which means I love that nitty gritty and I have no idea how to actually play) and your videos are well done. Thank you for the breakdowns and inspiring ideas and builds. Glad to see you're picking up some growth - hopefully that's good for you personally, because I know it's good for the community.
Only thing i dont like here is how hard they nerfed tetras. If it was just one thing or the other ok. But they nerfed them across the board even their main gimmick as if they were the most op things on the planet
I love you so much bru lmaoaoa my builds have improved so much
I‘ve had a lot of fun using the plasma launcher whip on a tetra with the Aurora. they work great up close.
Late to the party but great explanations, thank you!
Yay new video!
This patch hits everything for me. I run the Kasaur legs and try to be as light as i can and that extral speeds at lower weight has already been a huge benefit
You're the best, buddy
I saw on another channel that the yaba works similar to the coral generators, but on a smaller scale, so you can use it to fly a lot, but on light builds
Thank you
Damn, they really did nerf the Jailbreak arms just to make you die a little bit easier during the first chapter 5 mission. Petty move... I respect it.
*exhausts jamming gun's ammo, throws gun in the garbage*
Won't stop me from decking every pawn in sight (stacked rocket tetrapod can screw itself though)
really just to keep it consistent with being a scrapped basho, but its definitely funny either way
those light reverse joint builds got a lot of love
Loving the ac6 content
Pro tip for the Tai-Yang/bomb thrower
Holding the left trigger/m1 will throw in a vertical trajectory which also seems to increase the range considerably. It hits less consistently but still makes for a good medium range punish/zoning tool.
Not a pro tip per say I noticed that instantly when actually looking at the stats showing a charged attack was a thing
Fair enough but I've seen enough cases of people just not knowing charged attacks exist for some weapons to think this is warranted.
Kick into tai yang shou is a combo, and it insta staggers lighter acs
Hans Zimmer when the Zimmerman gets nerfed 💀
Dude im wiping the campaign and all the arena challenges with dual Curtis'. Theyre perfect.
Still present a coral oscillator bug, that makes it to NOT hit the target if you bave certain combinations of frame parts
For me, the Zimmer was doing the impact that Sweet Sixteen was supposed to be doing, cause go damn... 840 impact for that range and consistency is too much, i really expect that they give a little hand to SS to make it a 1Tap Melee Range Blunderbuss it should be.
Thats a sick looking AC
Hey, Dark Souls2 is having a little renaissance, since the servers whent back online. Hence I was wondering if you‘d consider creating guides similar to your elden ring ones.
I figured it would help it gain even more new/old players and you could analyze what is most likely a game in its final state, so no updates making your videos to some extent obsolete.
I‘d be realy glad to see one of my favorite creators cover that😊
But in any case mest wishes to you and thank you for your work.
EULE is actually my favorite back weapon, lol. I also still run double nebulas and a moonlight lol, I sometimes run the double Ducket
One thing I wish they added was a option to toggle a shield on or off and not require a constant imput
Only person who showed the data of the buffs and nerfs.
I'm glad they buffed the tai yang shou , that weapon is pretty fun, also the higher rounds on the pistols is good BCS that was the only thing stopping me from using them
Run dual Majestics on quad legs with your choice of crazy dual back weapons. dominant the PvP meta today!
will you make a video about how anti-kinetic/energy/explosive work? like I know higher numbers --->
better but like how are they calculated?
Also worth mentioning: I saw another patch breakdown video (I believe it was FightinCowboy) who also mentioned that the Stun Needles also do less damage with each subsequent hit, so spamming them gives you a damage reduction... not that that will probably matter to much
That's not the case. The subsequent hit is poor wording on Fromsoft's part. It is referring to the lightning explosion after the needle hits the target. I know some other TH-camrs like cowboy misinterpreted it as damage reduction after firing it multiple times in a row.
19:28 Saying such cruel words with a calm and gentle voice made it sounded 3000 times funnier lmao.
you're my favorite AC6 content creator
Ty ❤️
the laser turrets get buffed from 6 shot to 10 shot per turret, actually pretty big.
The Zimmermanns were my go to for getting S rank on a lot of missions. I still have a TON of missions I need to go back to and S rank and it sucks I can't stick to my zimmy build. They got the job done quick and efficiently. Now I'm having a hard time finding a build that's both efficient and not so costly that keep causing me to just miss S rank.
I was just about to head to bed... Gotta study now
Chrightt behind the counter at the parts shop
(Edit: Coral Oscillator def still clipped me thru a building 3v3 the wall)
the explosive buffs make them nightmarish to deal with, it really sucks trying to fight heavyweights with a ton of explosives on them
i was on the receiving end of a 100-0 true combo using 2x Morley, 2x handheld bazookas, and Spring Chicken legs; it did not feel good. All the guy had to do was assault boost in, hit the morley, and kick in between each of the handheld shots.
the Dizzy for shadow buff this patch. not alot of people talking about it so I think I might as well. before, if you miss your bazoka or grenade launcher shot, thats is it. but now, they will exploed at their max effective range...the Dizzy is the only one with the effective range at 290, which is what normally the combat range of most fight...this mean, you can miss with a Dizzy at 250-300 range...and somehow still hit with the massive blast radius...jut putting this out there...
WOW that Nebula AoE is gigantic! It's bigger than all the QB distances. I don't even think Spring Chicken could jump outa the way, unless you completely reversed direction at the last second!
That much damage and impact, with that much reliability, can certainly be oppressive.
saw some laser turret users in team pvp. definitely not that bad!
All Aurora projectiles hit at ranges below 160m, it is missile launcher intended for close range.
You can see that this is not true even in the video when I shot at 103m range. And this is a stationary target... doesn't get any better with moving targets.
Great job bro. Keep up the great job.
a god among men
Was the actual damage (ignoring stagger) for kicks nerfed? I happened to start NG++ right when this patch went live, I think, and my biped builds no longer one-shot the MT trash mobs, so I'm not sure whether it was due to the patch or if they just got buffed enough in NG++ to endure a kick.
Either way, quite disappointed by it; kicking random MTs into walls or into the distance was just about the most satisfying thing in the game IMO
As anybody encounter or notice that the AC enemy recover faster from stunt or this is my favorite, they are push away from you.
Curtis charge chain is too fun
