Line 33:
'''''Armored Core: Verdict Day''''' - TBD
'''''Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon''''' -
Among the new features in ''6'' are Assault Boost, which greatly increases forward speed at the cost of energy use, and "stagger", which is similar to "posture" from ''[[Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice]]'' in inflicting vulnerability on foes.
Line 188:
** Pro Tip: Equip two energy blades to dash continually (at least until your energy bar runs out).
** Aretha, the [[Final Boss]] in ''4'', pulls this one off much better. The Quick Boosters on that thing are ''insane'', crossing a distance of what appears to be several dozen meters within an instant.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: The IB-01: CEL 240 in ''VI'' is insanely agile, but takes equally massive damage after getting staggered if you can land any hits.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] - Lots. From laser rifles to back mounted cannons, to cores that shoot pods that shoot lasers.
* [[Friendly Enemy]] - This happens quite a bit but the two most prominent cases are Evangel in ''Nexus'' / ''Last Raven'' and Antares in ''Another Age''. {{spoiler|Evangel turns out to be a jerk with an inferiority complex, and Antares smooth talks you into giving him access to a space elevator for some vaguely malevolent purpose.}}
Line 387 ⟶ 388:
{{quote|{{spoiler|Angie}}: "Damage critical. Mission failed, #3/#8."
{{spoiler|Zodiac #3/#8}}: "This is some kind of a sick joke, right {{spoiler|Angie}}? [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|We turned ourselves into puppets]] for this?! ''I don't even remember why!'' }}
* [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]]:
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: ''6'' has not one but two. A PCA Heavy Combat Helicopter at the end of the tutorial serves to make the player aware that this game isn't a mindless spamming experience and check whether the player's been paying attention to the instructions and hints given up to that point. Balteus at the end of the first chapter further checks that the player didn't just get this far on beginner's luck.▼
** ''For Answer'' has White Glint, who is notorious for chewing through newbies to the game, using its overwhelming speed to dodge all of their attacks.
▲*
* [[Walking Wasteland]] - Any NEXT is this due to the ubiquitous use of Kojima Particles in their Primal Armor and possibly weapons.
* [[Wall Jump]] - Added in 5
Line 393 ⟶ 396:
* [[We Will Spend Credits in the Future]]: Interestingly, only Stateside editions use "Credits". Japanese versions use COAM instead; short of COmpany Assured Money<ref>An Engrishy translation of ?????? (Kigyo Hoshu Tsuka)</ref>.
** Credits are called "Au" in 5, implying gold is being directly traded but it still follows the trope.
* [[Weak
** ''Verdict Day'' has '''you''' {{spoiler|fight a NEXT in the final battle using only a Normal. In other words, he has the equipment the player did in ''4'' and ''For Answer'', while you're in the kind of machine that's not even a speed bump in those games.}}
** ''6'' has {{spoiler|the original Raven.}} His AC, should you recreate it, is almost identical to [[With This Herring|your starter AC Loader 4]] - unimpressive, crappy even. Nevertheless, you first encounter him after he's singlehandedly defeated a numerically and technologically-superior PCA force. Fight him, and while he's not on par with the toughest bosses, he is still very much able to make you regret taking him lightly.
