Wait, and Armored core that isn't based on 5's bizarre autism! I cannot fucking wait! I've missed armored core something fierce.
As a result, I tried the Dam level since I was getting annoyed with this advantage, so I'd figured I'd try a strat that involved looking straight down with very specific non-vert missile launchers (they have to shoot with a slight upward angle to have enough fuel to make it all the way down and NOT hit the platform you're on) and raining death from the top tiny platform on the dam that most enemy cores try and fail to reach. Boring, but very very high win rate strategy. Usually takes a while.
This enemy though, it's like the AI is hard programmed to be above you at all times, so as I went up the platform...so did he. When I landed on the platform...I won. I wondered why, and I saw the enemy falling as the battle ended.
Turns out there is a out of bounds zone at the TOP of the dam level, and you could just fly straight up to OB the hardest enemy in the arena with zero effort.
My favorite gimmick was the AC3 arena top contender iirc, basically he'd spend the entire time in the air raining bullets on you and that's it: making it hard to look up and shoot without getting pummeled, and he had a seemingly infinite amount of energy.I'm interested in how they'd do the bosses this time around. My gripe with fighting bosses or other ACs in past games is that they are either have gimmicks (Flying fortress, Arms Forts) or having clear advantages over you
