I also have to appreciate how honest this build is. No cheese, no broken weapons. Just a well built machine.
This AC is a sight to
*BEHOLD*
It really feels like it has
*THE POWER OF AN ANGEL*
It really makes the MACHINES become INSIGNIFICANT FUCKS
*MERE OBJECT, NOT EVEN MORTAL*
*YOU EVEN MAKE AYRE CRY*
DO NOT BE AFRAID.
YOU INSIGNIFIGANT FU-
Ok after watching couple of your build videos I gotta say this - you understand both armored core and fun.
Unfortunately these builds aren't anywhere close to viable in the competitive meta. From Soft has so many balancing changes to make before we can run fun and creative stuff like this outside of casual play.
@@VOXindie is there even a difference in game between casual queueing and competitive modes? I thought you just queued for 1v1s or 3v3s... Is someone running a competitive scene outside the game?
@@halapenopepper there are people running competitive tournaments through the same lobby system everyone else is using. They're just organizing the matches via discord and tourney sites. Those same people are constantly making fun of content creators because their "meta" builds are nowhere close to what's meta in the competitive scene (the competitive scene has WAAAAAY more builds that are toxic/cheesy/anti-fun).
I think that, while the zims, gaitling gun, and stun needle are all busted, the fact that the pve never throws builds at you that break them led a lot of people to forget that shields and damage mitigation work as effective counterplay.
Like it's crazy how much simple shields destroy the meta in pvp.
There are some fights with ACs using shields, but I don't think any use the scutum so it all gets brute forced.
I think the earliest is Swinburne but we'll have Zimms, gats and songbirds by that point, and he gets wrecked by it.
@@MGShadow1989 use shields well*
But yeah, you're right! They are definitely there. The AI just doesn't really use them effectively
Shields really bring out how much of a glass cannon most of the meta builds are. If you can survive their burst, you've already won.
I think there are one AC in arena that use shield, pulse gun and plasma missile that really annoying cause if you go in you can't stagger him before he stagger you first.
King uses the pulse scutum. I think his other weaponry just isn't that great.
The battle against the twin flame throwers guy makes for a great story.
“The venomous flames crashed against steadfast pulse barrier, barely peeling the pristine white and shimmering gold paint of the Paladin mech…”
That mech's name was Fatalis. If you know anything about Monster Hunter, Fatalis is the storybook "knight on a quest to kill the dragon" dragon. Very fitting.
That AC's strategy was kind of insane. I don't know if they did it intentionally or not, but the massive amount of fire was masking his grenade launcher fire and the ui alert that tells you its coming, Oro got hit by his earshot grenade launcher a couple of times just due to that.
@@starslayer8390 a knight literally slayed a dragon in that match too, id say fitting for sure.
If shields become the new meta after zimmers and missile boats are nerfed I'm going to have an aneurysm.
Imagine two shields fighting each other every match LOL
What if we don't need pvp changes :p. How does shield fare against stunning and dual needle tho?
The build seems weak to mid range specialists so I don’t think it’s broken
@@ec1195 the coral shield does well against them
Just some brainstorming, but since shields kind of kill the mobility of the user then keepaway-builds might work well against it. The timer makes it difficult but if you're willing to play the waiting game the shield also has a really long downtime so you bait it and the Huxleys out and then fight on their cooldown.
Honestly, the *Laser Slicer* is a fantastic alternative for this; once you get the stagger, you can stun-lock the enemy and then afterwards, immediately follow up with your Assault Armor (Especially when boosted by the *AORTA* ) for a GUARANTEED KILL against most ACs!
I think people use the terminal armor on zimm builds because it gives you that last chance to get the burdt damage theyre so good at
I wanna say thank you, Oro, not only for the great builds and content, but also for being my current source of AC6 gameplay (as my copy of the game is currently bugged to hell with flashing colorful lights and squares). It’s fascinating how diverse builds can be in this game even with only about 2-3 weapons per archetype.
That sounds like your GPU might have sagged loose from the slot , try setting it back into its slot firmly
GRASP IT FIRMLY
Lately, I've started seeing more and more players using shields . and I've noticed that it's very good against high-speed, lightweight-type AC. Due to the difference of ap and defense.
Makes my setup worthless. Burst machine gun and linear rifle, pulse blade, and dual cell missile launcher. It's relatively light for a medium AC. But he'd wreck me with solely the shield and that damn bullet orbit. I would never be able to get away from the constant barrage.
And the worst part is the mid range is my AC's specialty... :(
@@Baklavah1to be fair against a shield build if you just chip away at his shield and assault boost away he has to either put his shield down and chase you or let you keep poking him outside his range til he staggers
if I hear "skuttum" one more time I think I'll lose my mind. it's "skootum" oro please for the love of almighty god no more skuttum
True
Scrotum
Its skuttum now, accept it
Akshually, it's pulsing scrotum 🤓
I think it's actually pronounced like sk-you-tum
이 빌드는 쉴드 쿨타임을 관리 하는 게 제일 중요했습니다
직접 해보니까 스태거 게이지가 쌓였을 때 쉴드를 풀고 그냥 맞아 주는 게 다음 타이밍에 바로 쉴드을 사용할 수 있습니다 😊😊
I feel like the Foxhound AC was really well balanced against your build. That fight was so good!
I was looking to achieve a shield build and the best i got was a grasshopper knight, but was still looking for something more bulky.
This is literally perfect, thanks for sharing this build mate.
Edit: i wonder why he use that gun vs something like the Chang-chen, feel that it builds more stagger to combo with the turret
I think it's to have a little extra range since he is using the ocellus chip with this build, I'm gunna test and see if the submachine gun makes it better.
I think it's probably insurance against lighter builds. The chang-chen probably builds faster against the average target, but the coquillet deals more stagger with good timing against builds that dodge a lot
He's using basho arms, could be more worried about the terrible weapon stats for rapid weapons.
now that i think about it, why do we care for the San-Tai generator? the build barely use dashes or assault impulse so it would make sense to get something like the NGI 000 only to get more energy capacity and maybe a better weapon? like really without that limit surely there is something that doesn't need a shot stance but do good damage.
@@nicolasvillasecaali7662 that's a good point. I actually did some testing and switched out the arms for the melander c3 ones for more balanced firearm and melee spec while still getting decent stability, also switched the gun to duckett handgun instead for higher damage and impact.
The shield outline looks like Yhorm's Greatshield. Sick build for sure and cool to see how diverse you can get with your AC
I bet Oro calls a quesadilla a kwessuhdilluh
12:09 HEMA with giant robots
I really like the aesthetic of the AC and the commitment to the role. Everything fits together. Very well done.
beautiful. i finally can see some spirit in this game.
Another gun that I think would work well with this build is the Viento needle gun. It deals less damage and stagger than the pistol, but its rate of fire, total ammo count, and reload speed are much higher, so it's pretty comparable dps and stagger dps.
I think you're right, the double triple laser guy was definitely overburdened, and it was to a degree that it affected his tracking. Either that or he had a garbage FCS, he should've hit you with his 2nd shot around 7:34 iirc otherwise, I couldn't see myself missing that with the Coral hyper-FCS (the high EN load one that gives you supreme stats) equipped.
He probably had one of the close-ranged FCSes, but then he's firing off his lasers at mid-range without having staggered Oro. To be frank, he played like @&#*%.
He did hit him, you see his stagger bar build up after the shot. Just lag made it look like a whiff. The other time before that it happened too. Might have only been one cannon hitting tho. Moving at 350 should be enough at that range to avoid it passively
The Pulse Scutum is honestly a bit busted if you build right for it. Though certain enemy weapon combos will still do enough to stagger you.
In exchange for doing half as much damage and stagger as you could with your left side free, you will take far less than half the damage you normally would. I feel like this might actually do very well on a reverse joint build as well - they stagger more easily, but you might be able to take advantage of the jumps to avoid hits a lot.
I do wish that the other shields were more useful overall, though. They can be, but it's very hard to take advantage of them.
This is surprisingly honest. I expected it to be slimier, being based around a shield and all.
Shield builds need to be either mids or heavy since when the shield drops there's gonna be issues a light cannot handle.
I love the build, but I would have SUCH a hard time playing it. The majority of my builds are light frames with coral generators and the gills booster for intensive quick boosting. I guarantee I would quick boost out of the scutum multiple times per match just of out of habit 😅
The Coral shield might be a good fit for you, then. It has still-solid damage mitigation, cuts incoming damage a little more than half, and has the best IG boost of any actually-usable IG shield (no, the dumb three hundred millisecond 'parry' shield is not useable). Energy intensive, but it's a great shield for lighter builds that want to maintain mobility while still having a strong defensive option.
8:45 the knight vs the dragon. The fatalis is the flagship dragon from monster hunter this is thematically awesome as hell
6:47 HOLY VOLLEY DAMAGE, BATMAN!
Hmm.. I _really_ like the way that the flamethrower completely covers the enemy's screen.
You could hide some attack animations behind that "smokescreen", especially something like siege missiles.
Missiles are kinda garbage with flame throwers you are to close to effectively make use of them, and enemies will be doing everything in their power to keep away from you. Flamethrowers builds pair well with artillery, (though you stop firing when you shoot), shields to reduce your stagger, and orbitals. You might also get some use out of a stowed melee weapon if you are good at timing it.
That flamethrower fight was almost like a dragon v knight match. Very nice!
Randomly stumbled across your vids man and I love your builds gives me more ideas on what to use and every build is so well thought out with solid strategy. Love this game
I need to try shields! Also I love that the basic, starting sword is this good.
I never knew I needed a paladin robot in my life
I love the Scutum, I've had a lot of fun using it with my main build which is also a Paladin although I run with the pile bunker instead since it's my favorite weapon out there. Also use quads with the 60LCD
I absolutely love this build. the only time I lost was when someone kept running away while spamming missiles. It's really a relaxing build and I enjoy it
I love that you do the share ID's in case we want to try these bad boys out
loving the duel focused builds, the 3v3 seems like it all gets too messy for a lot of build variety to work out well
A variant of this build actually helped me S rank my Freud fight in the campaign, so it’s definitely useful and fun
Double...Triple? Laser Cannon guy was lagging his ass off - that's what was happening.
Your last opponent was literally an embodiment of Finland itself lmao😂.
dark paladin that uses coral shield, needle gun, drones and coral laser sword
You can keep the shield active and also fire a right shoulder cannon that requires a stance, like an earshot or LCB. Its nice because it can help you cover yourself during the stance
This is cool. I already a fan of dual handguns with my light build and now I get to use all of the tank build awesome
Misread it as Pulse Scrotum
This paintjob is sick as fuck. Def hit the nail on the head.
Fatalis looks on point with copious amount of fire and explosives they use, if not in terms of damage.
"We use the pulse blade for its massive damage on stagger punishes."
I don't wanna say I told you so, buuuuut... >.>
I literally just made a white and gold AC build last night and then I immediately see this the next day lol I haven't unlocked everything yet so I'm not gonna watch it until I do but I'm eager to see what Obobobo cooked up on this one
Flamethrower build seems really smart way against players. It cover the screen with fire that you cant see big shots
Man, that SISU person you fought at the end was hella good, and that build was really cool
I've had so much fun with this build. I don't play PvP since internet it's difficult in my country, but I have played PvE with it and it's just as effective. In fact, the first time I killed some bosses without the zimmers and stun needles was thanks to this. Just had to change the pulse blade for the pile bunker because I would run out of ammo in right hand and shoulder if the fight became too long. I would like to know the paint tho, I tried to recreate it but I couldn't even get near this
Neat build! Question though: does the Ocellus really make that much of a difference compared to the Abbot? The Abbot only has 7 less close-range assist, but 20 more midrange assist. Is that final 7 a deal breaker?
That's a great question, my guess is, just for min-max purposes
It really isn't worth it imo, but so many builds only function under 160m anyway, so most people use it anyway. Personally, i prefer one of the two with both good mid-range and close range.
It does. This game has a terrible habit of having some number seem like nothing, when it's quite a lot.
This build looks really cool. Although I imagine it probably gets bullied hard by missile boats :( Then again, what doesn't get bullied by missile boats it feels like lol
I've been playing a lot with scutum builds lately, and frankly, building around it like this has been the least successful way to do it from what I've experienced.
You have two major problems here:
1. Stability is your life's blood behind a shield. There are options, particularly legs, that would really pump your stability. Once you're close to staggering, the shield has to come down (else you're going to lose it for much longer), and so you want to put that moment off as long as possible.
2. The bigger issue is your weapon's loadout. While, sure, most players are going to want to close range on you, there's a fair bit of players that are playing kiting strategies, particularly with the recent buff to assault rifles. Against these players, you simply cannot take advantage of the scutum, as you'll have to lower it to AB and close range against those players. And, frankly, they're going to be more prepared to deal with a mech with a wasted weapon slot than you are going to be to deal with them. Against these kinds of players, you need to be able to hit them without dropping your shield.
The best scutum build I've ran so far is a Quad (high stability!) with:
RH: Siege Missiles
LH: Plasma Thrower
RB: Missiles of your choice, I like Carla's missiles because it keeps the pressure up.
LB: Scutum
Doing it this way makes you into a missile boat that will out-duel other missile boats, but with the extremely strong option of the Plasma Thrower against builds that want to come into close range (and if you put Siege Missiles out there and stagger someone with the whip, it's going to hurt them really badly).
Other options to consider:
1. Coral Oscillator. I haven't ran with it extensively yet, but it could be better than the whip.
2. RJ legs. Since you can't QB with the shield up, RJ legs give you a type of dodge while keeping the scutum active. The downside is they have the lowest stability out of all the leg types. The question is going to become, "Can I get better stability out of dodging shots with RJ jumping or just raw extra stability via Quad legs?"
Awesome awesome build cool to see something different all the time
the pulse scrotum shield
Very interesting and novel build, a lot more amusing to watch than the 1 shot powerhouse builds.
This might be one of my more favorite builds that you've made (2nd only to the Coral build) The way this AC fights with a Shield and Sword is very reminiscent of a Paladin
SANCTUS ARMORUS AC 🙏🏻
(Gonna copy this one)
Forgot to show the colors Brandon 😭👺
thing about flamethrower users is that they don't actually see you, too much fire on their interface, they follow the circle but they don't actually know whether you hit them with your guns. that's why the stagger bar fills really fast since they don't know when to evade or quick boost
I feel so damn stupid watching this. Looking at the shield videos in the shop I thought the shields only lasted for a few seconds -and figured the AI just got to cheat when using them. If I had known they worked like this I would have tried them ages ago!
I feel ya on that, I’m almost on like chapter 5 now because I’ve been taking my time trying things out and exploring. Haven’t even thought to try shields I thought they were just pretty bad in general
Scutum is the only one worth holding up a long time though.
Can the Scutum tank the Nepenthes? That would be hilarious, just jump straight down 😅
Something about this build I really like. And I never use shields in Dark Souls or Elden Ring.
That last dude was definitely gaming with their build
If I had any note, Your primary choice is effected by recoil reduction. Something like a zimmerman would give more synergy with this build imo.
The speed and AP makes this AC so damn filthy
Now, what if you could have TWO Pulse Scutums? We would be going beyond mortal reason!
I run a very similar build with a burst smg, a regular pulse shield (Not the Scutum), some quick locking missles, and full Basho parts. The burst SMG does good damage and stun and the missles help too, full Basho isn't necessary but I like how it looks.
What Oro didn't showcase is that medium weight melee builds like this can be really inconsistent, sometimes you win easily, sometimes you get stomped in seconds.
Winning in PvP in general feels like Rock Paper Scissors in what counters what.
@oroboro 7:37 actually he did hit you, but lag made it look like he didn't. Your AP went down by like 800 and it even showed you were shielded, so it def saved your ass lmao
This right here is a paladin that multiclassed into artificier
Stability mech + Scutum + pulse armor is pretty fun
This build actually reminds me of the pokémon Shedinja because when you do take damage you're basically dead but when the shield's up you're invincible
I played against this last night! Seems like it really loses to most firepower focused builds.
yea i think you can just blast the shields off if you have enough firepower
Pulse gun will easily take care of that shield
I feel that this builds benefit immensely from having reverse joint legs precisely to give it movility to challenge that kind of builds, the jump can serve to avoid some damage that could compromise the shield and serve while keeping it up (not to mention that the kick could be a good option when the sword is down.
For a second I thought it was the Lancelot from Code:Geass lol
Not gonna lie, I was rooting for the double ducks AC 😅
Fantastic build
I'd be very interested to see where a build around dual Morleys paired with 2 Bad Cooks slots in to the meta now, not well I imagine
This guy's a gamer he says you knew he was trying for that one 😂
This design is so shaman king esque and im all for it
Always love your builds, great video
Playing a paladin in a mecha game, really is the power of god and anime
That fashion is gorgeous
Hey Oro, this build doesn't need much EN, try the VE-20B generator for even spicier pulse blade sensation.
I don't think energy firearm specialization works with melee attacks. Similar to OS tuning.
Man, your builds are so fun. I wish my own builds didn't suck ass tho.
Seeing all the mechs, builds & paint-jobs Is my moment of zen
..The emblems are fun too
haven't seen 1 single swastika which Is odd
Any more boss breaker builds?
Finally embraced the pulse blade as a punish huh. But imo dagger would have been better because it does the same damage as the pulse blade and can counter punish an assault armor because of the low cooldown.
That paint job goes so fucking hard, holy shit
That styling, the God Emperor approves!
Omg I love how this playstyle looks Igotta try it!!!
Sick paint job
I jumped in my seat at the two tri lazer cannon build, cause I actually run a similar one for pve (spring chicken legs & dual pistols is the biggest difference). Real shame that guy missed all their shots, cause I was curious if the shield would be enough to save an AC from full charge
This part is Called Scrotum and no one can change my mind
I use the yoyo/shield and minigun/lasershotgun, its constant pressure and damage
Honesty surprised you used regular biped legs on this one. Reverse legs can do it’s incredible jumps without dropping the shield. Tetrapods can hover without it; and putting this thing on the wheelchair legs is a one way ticket to hell given their horrible boosts and amazing speeds
For this build it was more about cosmetic choice tbh lol-I agree that reverse joints or quads would probably be way better
Having played similiar build for few weeks, altho more war of attrition kite than hugging enemy with shield styled, you get faster glide speed with regular bipeds than with reverse joints. Reverse joints also have less stability and I've personally felt like higher glide speed and smaller jumps causing more movements to different directions has been better for dodging (especially missiles) than long drawn jumps in single direction. Tetrapods give lots of stability but murder your movement speed, altho flying in air is a plus for open maps where some builds wanting to get close have trouble reaching you. Tank legs I haven't used at all in the game.
I made a similar one, didn’t think to use the orbits!!!
The AC design reminds me of Lancelot from Codegeass
9:32
5890 nade damage after ACS failure.
That was...interesting.
What are your thought on replacing pulse blase with plasma thrower? The damage is almost identical with stagger and plasma thrower charge attack while spinning reduces damage by 50% I think. Letting you still tank hits if shield gets broken.
Just some observations
Would be the big coral gen better along side one of the recently buffed ARs / linear rifles?
For overall stronger assault armor, the ability to poke even at medium range and the ability to float like the floaters
I feel like the laser slicer would be better for this. The longer stun time on the melee attacks would help the scutum and orbit recharge
I think it would too. He's using it only as a finisher weapon, yet things like the slicer are just better for that
Palidins don't usually use daggers is probably why
@@petercottantail7850 Silcer's a twinblade, not a dagger
@@petercottantail7850 no, the laser slicer is the twin glaive. The laser dagger is what you’re thinking of
Loved this
