Thanks! It sure wasn't the easiest fight, cause you gotta stay close but the AC is pretty fragile so you really don't want to get hit by the coral.. still learning and improving with this build, I love it!
It's very close to my own. I've been running a ML-Redshift for the melee weapon so I can be a little looser with my positioning when I go for the punish, and a Verrill Head. I'm still fine tuning though. I really liked the laser slicer damage output but the animation lock was brutal. Laser Sword hits hard but the second hit gets clipped a lot, so I tried the ML instead. Still pretty undecided about it. The other part I'm fiddling with is the booster. With the ML I don't need as much melee attack thrust so I was messing with the 06SPD, but when running the Laser Blade I was running Kikaku. I'm sure you fiddled lots too, so any personal anecdotes about the build are appreciated.
I've been through a similar proces and eventually settled for the slicer cause I was most familiar with it. Like you I did find it too unreliable though so I went on experimenting with some different builds, which led me to the laser swap. It's incredibly strong, and especially the redshift build eats through AP after stagger. Since laser swap is basically a rushdown build that like BVO uses Ocellus I thought why not make a Viento/Redshift "swap", so I did, and it absolutely shreds. Basically you rush down your opponent using a standard BVO build amd when they are stunned you switch to dual Redshift for massive damage. As a bonus: whenever the Vientos are reloading you switch to dual Redshift for extra pressure/damage. It's a fun build to play with and I think it's more reliable than BVO/melee, at least to me it is.
@@Etrulz Thats an interesting idea. I threw it together and did every arena combat just to get used to it for a bit and it did great. What fcs do you use, still Ocellus? Or do you swap to something with some midrange so you can work the redshifts a little further out if needed?
Still using Ocellus. It's basically a rushdown build, much like my dual Stungun build (Wasp: th-cam.com/video/ZVBNEagguJE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ix9PouIRPVxFjZyO). Just use AB to rush towards the opponent and keep right in their face the whole time. It's a super fun way to play imo, much better than using a kite or broken lasertank.
They are very, VERY strong, especially in experienced hands. I'm still learning, but I have encountered players that stunned me in seconds. Absolutely devastating. I really do enjoy running this build for the moment. Still have the feeling I can improve a lot with it, but I'm switching it up with my other builds because running the same build over and over does get a bit boring after a while imo.
Hey fellow BVO enjoyer! A tip, don’t charge your sword, just tap the trigger once. If you charge it, it has to boost a specific distance before it makes contact, giving the other player a chance to boost away.
Thanks for the tip! I was kind of wondering why I kept missing sometimes.. I also always seem to miss the second hitbwhen going for the dual regular strike, which is why I went with the charged one instead. It seems a bit more reliable, but it will almost always hit if my spacing is not exactly right.. Thanks! :)
@@EtrulzTo avoid missing the second normal swing, just wait a second. If you spam, you miss; if you wait until the first hit has landed before making the next input, the second hit will land every time.
Idk why I struggle so hard using the bvo build, I feel like I can never land my shots or capitalize on stagger, especially against opponents who stay in the air. Guess I just gotta keep practicing because I really love the play style of bvo melee lol
It's a really cool way to fight, but it does require some getting used to. Getting the stagger is easier when you rush straight towards your opponent and try to hit while still in assault boost I think. As for punishing after the stagger.. melee can be rough. Sometimes it's easier to use a ranged weapon, such as the redshift like here: th-cam.com/video/kWK6qSsP-Fk/w-d-xo.html
Is there a reason you're choosing to use the charged attack instead of the double slice when opponents are staggered? In my experience the double slice does much more damage
@@Etrulzwhen hitting the input for the blade attack, hit the second input with a short delay, instead of immediately going into the second slash you should move forward just enough to make the second swing connect more consistently, test it out and lmk if that helps!
Meta reddit build ,but people are allowed to play it too "outside of the sweaty meta mind" anyway kinda sad to see stuff tagged like that because some people loose their minds over the ranked games We just want to have fun not face an army of clones
I don't really understand if you're telling me you think it's sad that I'm playing this build or that you think people should play however they want.. Anyway, I am very much in favor of the latter. Anyone can choose any build and try to climb the ranks/enjoy PvP however they want. Some meta builds (such as BVO) are pretty fun to play with, some are a bit too broken for my taste (LCB tanks), but overall I do get bored with builds after a couple of matches anyway so I try to switch builds and keep things fresh. I understand that people want build variety to play against, but then again.. what are you gonna do? Best is to just have fun with the game. In my case, that means trying new stuff, new builds, some meta, some non-meta, as long as I'm having fun. If my oppoments keep choosing the same builds all I can do is try to adjust to it. Can't force people to play how I want them to anyways.
yeah thats why top 10 rank S players are all tanks players abusing the tank ACS bug ... yep cant force people to something else than shitbags @@Etrulz Also I was saying yes you can play BVO builds but when you clearly see people copy pasting it without even understanding what they are doing , its sad , game is supposed to be like a lego store just try and fail and git gud then try again rinse and repeat , but again people
BVO is strong but actually requires skill to play effectively. It’s not a brain dead build. Rank in any game is an optimization race, unfortunately. Hopefully FS balances things out and encourage more build variety.

Thank you! Glad you like the vid and thanks for your subscription! Welcome!
Nice job vs that double melee guy using sword and coral oscillator. Some really crucial timing on that fight.

BVO builds are so hard for me to counter, seeing one is pure dread. a Ravens scream before death

Same
i’ve played alot of BVOs recently pretty nice considering i play one too
They are a lot of fun imo. Require more skill than your average tank build, but still are very competitive.
Now this is pod racing! (This build looks fun as all get out ill have to try this with my Aaliyah cosplay build)
Lol, yes! It is a lot of fun indeed! Glad you like it :)
I'm still baffled by how many LOADER 4s are still out there in the wild 😂
Lol, yes. Although some people name their AC that on purpose. Also seen a couple of LOADER 1 and LOADER 5s.

@@Etrulz yeah the second hit regularly misses for me as well, as of today I switched to slicer.
Good one, I should try that too..

Extra clean intro! Nice work!

Skill issue tbh. Every time I try the double slice the second one misses. Got enough to learn yet :)
@@Etrulz ah might be a latency thing, I’ve seen it happen before

We’ll play
BVO?
It's an abbreviation for the key parts of this build: Basho (arms), Viento (weapons), Ocellus (FCS).

Take this exact build into S matchmaking and let me know how it goes. Preferably post clips.
