Okay, so I got a question for you guys. In terms of fashion, which is your favorite core?
Also, at 1:20 I meant to write 15% not 4% 🤣 I was making the pictures a bit too late.
Easily the Alba, follow by Mind Alpha
I'd like Hal 826 more except its asymmetrical and that bugs me.
Mind Alpha but I really like how the Nachtreiher looks like it had the Gundam F91's cooling fins sticking out of its back when it enters a cooling state.
Alba/Hal are easily the best looking cores imo
Orbiter or Melander for me, I just think they look good.
For me, Mind Alpha is my go to fashion peice, and the Hal 826 at 2nd place, mostly cause the giant backpack on it kinda bugs me a bit.
Every time Chrightt releases a video, FROM takes it as a challenge and releases a new patch where they change everything he talked about... cant wait for1.05 and a total change to cores this time...
Makes me think a fromsoft dev knows him, so to troll him they prep patches for release then green light them after the video is uploaded
I'm still on version 1.01
@@DerekMoore82 i recently had the change HDD and got a fresh install of AC6 on my PS... I decided to run the game like that on 1.00 and start a fresh file. Its not that bad to be honest, completed everything except 1 combat log that its bugged (in the mission with all the fog and markers, an enemy with the log will not appear and there is a missing wreck with a file), so i will have to update for the log and the lvl15 loghunt weapon.
Hey hey, the vid survived 1.04.1 intact.
@@agentoranj5858 for now :), I mean, to be fair, i did say 1.05
Good to know Running Main Dish on my Ork AC with a coral generator was a amazing choice. It only gets better since I also painted it red with black & white checkered, to make it faster and more durable respectively.
ah, a man of culture
Da red wunz go fasta. Letz ya put more ov ya weight into dakka ta krump ya enemies.
Sounds propa orky.
I made the mistake of painting my Ork AC purple, can't seem to find where I left it after painting it though.
this video is probably the most-vulnerable to getting dunked on in a balance patch, hahah. The Core parts live up to their name: they change _so much_ about how your build is going to work.
Watch as 1.05 comes out literally tomorrow in the finest Chrightt tradition
@@arieltimeshrine8137He summons the balance patches lmao
I use the Hal 826 core because it looks badass.
Asymmetry makes it look like just a bigger VP!
Man that’s rough for me. I’ve mostly enjoyed the looks of the Orbiter, Melander and Firmeza on my AC. And all of them sound reasonably outclassed. Still sometimes we must endure for fashion souls.
I haven't found a use for Melander or orbiter yet, but firmeza I've found is very, very good on builds using the nachtreiher for speed but are lacking a few thousand EN supply efficiency, as long as you can handle the longer EN cooldown.
Chrightt is just talking about pure number anyway, in practice you're not losing anything much by using the melander, the difference is marginal at best so fashion away my man.
I feel you. The numbers won't sway me. My Melander C3 on a few classes isn't going anywhere. Looks cool.
On one of my builds, I went with the C3 due to it's lower weight than the VP-40S as the build was very much weight limited by the Alba legs.
Kinda cool that all coral specific cores lorewise make sense too; main dish is from a scientist who developed coral generators and the most iconic basho user is dolmayan, who was among the first people and the second most influential person to directly talk to a coral based rubiconian and also just straight up uses a coral generator iirc
That's really cool actually.
@Chrightt fromsoft have always been the kings of ludonarrative synchronicity though if this one is intentional it really takes the cake
@@Chrighttbut the description of orbiter says medium weight so how is it lightweight? 16:13
And here I was running high booster efficiency cores on my heavy ACs thinking it would let me assault boost longer, lol
Kind of fitting that the Basho relies on coral generators, an old piece that is brought back into relevance by advanced tech.
I like how the old tech has junk generator output adj actually. Very nice to see them stick to the theme.
@@Chrightt Similarly, I like that the MELANDER series - described as a simple design suitable for mass production - is not quite as good as the ALLMIND-made MIND ALPHA or the Arquebus "masterpiece" VP-40S.
Nachtreiher receiving a buff last patch to its output stat helped my build a lot!
Same! Beforehand I found it had a problem of not pushing any generators very far, meaning I had the same EN as the generator with .45, seconds cooldown with any. And nowadays, it's the core of like 1/3rd of my builds 😅
I pair it with coral generators.
@@taylordiclemente5163 I use Coral generator as well, but pre-patch I had to run Harris + Curtis. Now I can run double Harris.
@@HasekuraIsuna yes, those are frustratingly drainy. I'm coming around to the Ransetsu-RF.
You mentioned it for the Basho core but the Nachtreiher core also works really well with coral generators. It basically acts as a much lighter but also much flimsier alternative and also features a much faster recovery from red lining than Basho. It's surprising what you can fit into a Aorta Nachtreiher build even with the limited energy output.
Do you need that big an energy bar when the YABA does EN recovery better than coral generators?
@@nilspochat8665 Some might want the coral gen for use with Assault Armour. As that does a lot more damage than normal. Due to doing coral damage.
Another reason might be for if you are using a mix of weapons which includes 1 or 2 energy weapons. Since the YABA has below 100 energy firearm spec.
The final reason is just that the red colour looks cool.
@@Alastair_Ulven indeed, coral generators do twice as much damage (coral does true dmg, that may be the reason) when using assault armor, though that action is really limited, since it is a once in every X time type of action. You don't base a build on expansions in PvP at least (or super rarely like the Bumblebee).
The difference in damage for energy weapons is *marginal* between YABA and coral, they're all around 100 (yaba 95; aorta 105 and 001 is 110 ; both the VP-20 are around 100 and the VE-20B is 150 comparatively)
while it takes around 4 seconds to regen fully depleted energy *or any energy* for that matter, it *happens twice as fast* with the YABA. Think about all the times you fully deplete your energy bar by accident or on purpose in the Nest or on missions.
Not that coral generators don't have their uses but the YABA is a really good generator overall and it really is the king of post-recovery
So I was sceptical a combustion generator had any business being subbed into the role of a coral generator and suspected there were some unmentioned riders, so I tried it out and sure enough there they were.
Combustion generators, including Yaba, have poor output (especially on Nacht). It's less "if you have 1 or 2 energy weapons" and more "if you have more than 1 or 2 weapons period", since attempting to equip even one item on a shoulder already made it clear the thing was stubbing its toes on the shoals of EN load with many equipment options.
It's also not just the Nacht core's poor adjustment responsible either, since I made couple builds employing one with coral and they had no trouble packing plenty of heat.
It also *did* recover faster on balance than a coral generator...if you stayed glued to the ground. To its credit it *was* capable of permaflight, but compared to the floaty generous permaflight of coral generators it was more like gasping desperately to tread water, with no leeway for mobility whatsoever.
So yeah, there it is "The king of post recovery*"
*if you only arm yourself with derringers and walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward
@@CrypticSquid1 1sec for 30% is better than 4 for 50% call me crazy, i'd rather being able to actually dodge than flail around, merely jumping to try and avoid the FCS trying to target my own AC while in PvP.
Plus, you can't *perma-float* with a coral, post-recovery isn't the stat for that, that'd be a mix of EN supply efficiency and recharge delay.
Since the Nachtreiher is the worst at that it eliminates it as a flying core while it makes the ephemera the best at it. On top of that, *indeed* being frugal in your loadout helps achieving perma-flight. It's about managing properly your EN consumption so what you just used comes back before you have time to get back as low to the ground as you previously were. *Royal Skies* on CZcams has a good vid about all that called _'How to master energy management in (Armored Core 6)'_ that should clear things out.
For true perma-flight i have a rat build that never *ever* has to touch ground as long as you manage *properly* your EN bar
6HDYA3Y4FBVM i hope you'll enjoy it and will learn how a raven truely flies.
What coral generators are good at is big EN capacity and a bit of energy weapons specialization. That's it and that's plenty.
I love the ALBA chest piece, the lower head position compared to the shoulders makes almost everything else look good for fashion. The adjustments are also quite nice so I use it with a lot of builds.
The ALBA is honestly just peak in so many ways especially it's fashion which is unmatched save for the HAL
Best AC content. Thank you for all your hard work!
Of the four "Balanced" ones, Melander C3 has the lowest weight. I have multiple builds that use it because of that! ~1400 more weight from the chest, some more from specific leg choices and all of a sudden a better arms/weapon loadout can be done (we want to keep weight limit or booster limit to their respective limitations before significant drawbacks).
I had a pretty good handle on cores before this video, and you still got me thinking about the main dish in new ways. I didn’t think to combine that huge supply with a coral generator - that’s a really good idea. Your videos are the only ones still teaching me things about this game, so keep up the great work!
I love these deep dive videos, I'm definitely getting much better at choosing parts for my builds
My faves have been the Nacht, Firmeza, and Alba!
Love listening to this vid while having the game on since I always like just sitting in the garage and messing around with making an AC. The vids certainly adds more food for thought
hell yea live fast die fast
When you need a freaking PhD to play a game optimally....
I hope the expansion will play more into this complex aspect. "Last Raven" us From Software!!!
🫡 Good thing AC professor is reporting for duty.
Dude. Your content is seriously awesome. Keep it up!
It is a good day if there's a new @Chrightt video. 🙏
I love your analysis videos! Thank you for sharing your hard work.
🙌 New Chrightt video!
Chright makes perfect videos :) this guy is the BEST 👌
Finally i been waiting for this one
Been watching all your videos about all other parts and I'm so surprised. I thought it was all Armor Decor
Man, I already thought this while watching your videos on Elden Ring: you're gifted and generous, thanks a lot!
This wonderful cat is making me wait with baited breath for the arms breakdown, I luv it 🥹✨
They really need to add about 200 more points of Energy drain to Mind Alpha, while adding an extra 100 Kinetic and Explosive defense, along with another 1k AP to the Melander cores.
Thanks to this video, I’m starting to think that my main AC could be made a lot better by using a different generator with the Nachtreiher core. Currently, I use the Aorta in a lightweight build.
Oof...
Orbiter is the one I seem to like the best aesthetically....
If only the HAL actually looked the same as the glint core from 4a...
Oh yess.. I was hoping for a Core Vid!
For some reason, a lot of my builds are centered around "Balance" here... Even in Chrightt's previous video, I was using the Balanced Generators. Eventho, I have 0 clue what I was doing. All I know was that, it FELT GOOD using it. So I never change my build all that much, because it just felt right. It's weird to find out that MIND ALPHA was also a Balanced Core Piece... I just used it because it looks good... Fashion, rather than Function... My builds also centered around Energy Builds because that was the most fun I had playing.
The builds I made in my playthrough, NEVER changed after my first playthrough, fighting HAL.
Head Piece : VP-44D
Core Piece : MIND ALPHA.
Arms and Legs : HAL
I never changed these... Just because of the look, and that it felt good.
Feel bad for the Orbiter, now I know why I never managed to like the numbers I get when I scroll over it, so I never used it despise it looking good.
Yep :\ sad
The Jailbreak is basically just meant to be a garbage Basho in every way, including visually. A Trasho, if you will.
Quite impressive considering that most builds with a Basho core end up looking like trash already because of how much it clashes with other sets.
Pls god buff the orbiter its the only torso i like
What really impress me is Chris knows how to use Excel. i put 10 in 1a and 20 in 1b and somehow ended up with 1000000 in 1c...
I see a chrightt video, I like a chrightt video
Thanks for another great video!
Between the two best balanced cores, VP-40S and MIND ALPHA, I tend to skew towards MIND ALPHA for the superior defensive stat spread despite the lower boost speed from the 1.5k weight variance.
That said, I don't write off the MELANDER nor the MELANDER C3 because they have much better explosive defense over the VP-40S which can be valuable when fine-tuning a build. I think the nuance around the distribution of defensive stats got glossed over when you just lump 5 defense-oriented stats into a "defense score" but I suppose you weren't interested in diving that deep in this video.
I was expecting more than 2 lines about the nachtreier. Been using it on my main build pretty much since I unlocked it so I was curious what you were gonna say about it. Oh well hah 😂
Ephemera gang still stands despite shattered kneecaps 🥲
Stout branches, thin trunk philosophy
I REALLY hate how much better than the Melander core the mind alpha core is. Melander just looks neat.
Nice editing timing your voice with the boxes highlighting the spreadsheet. Great research conclusions!
Finally I must know!! Basho core, what is it good for? For real though this is the video I was waiting on all along, thank you so much Chrightt! I literally have to rebuild all my schematics after the patches so these kinds of videos are always welcome!
Basho is actually really nice especially for a midweight coral gen niche build. You get a ton of defensive stats to make up for coral gen's down time too.
Thx I always liked the design being that much more simple than the others. Thanks again for the info, I need to update my builds!@@Chrightt
Last up for frame parts are the arms, I believe. Looking forward to seeing how those get talked about.
I always use the HAL or the Mind Alpha. I'm a sucker for well-balanced cores with good output.
I like the way that most of the starting AC parts look. I just wish they decided to make them maybe just a little better stats wise. Like I get that it's supposed to be like the tutorial gear, but it just kinda sucks that 2 whole part sets in this game (jail break, and starting AC) are basically useless when this game already doesn't have that much to choose from.
Is Nightfall Raven heavily buffed? When we used the same parts it doesn't perform anywhere near what the NPC does
They're basically pieces for when you need that extra EN really badly.
@@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch The weakness of the Nightfall AC is the overall mid tier internal parts it uses that are unable to support it's loadout effectively. Mainly the generator and booster. But it's dual missile and FCS is also kinda mid.
Nightfall, for some reason, uses the Ling Tai, which is not as powerful as it's stat screen makes it seem, since it can't support a medium EN load without tanking it's EN recharge, which is the only reason to use it anyway. Nightfall has a Scudder, Songbird, Pile Bunker and dual missile. That loadout takes up too much EN load for the generator to be worthwhile, as it weakens the good EN recharge the gen is meant for. At that point, the Ming Tang recharges much faster.
I've beaten the game a total of 4 times. NG through NG++, and S ranked every mission.
I tested Nightfall on the mission where you fight the OG Raven 1 on 1 and it sucked. Once I swapped out all of the internals and the dual missile I was able to beat the NG+ fight against Branch in 1 try.
Raven is coded to counter any melee attempts with a charged Pile Bunker, and all AC pilots input read to an extent, letting them dodge better against heavy hitting weapons.
Honestly yer I feel the same. Though that is mostly because for some reason all the Arquebus cores really like being asymetrical... And when most of the rest of the core is symetrical it bugs me.
@@kinorris1709 Your 2nd & 4th paragraph is what i was referring to. The NPC NightFall can do things we can't when we use Nightfall. lol
I've a video (Defend the Dam Complex - King, Chartreuse, NightFall) showing this. NPC Nightfall doesn't touch the ground once.
Ohh boy can't wait for another patch!
So u even have an app on google play to check these kind of stuff related to the game?. Cool very usefull. Nice videos, i always love this kind of content in any games i play
I honestly just try to make a build around the one I think looks the coolest XD my favorite is still the one from AC 4 that the intro vid AC has
NEW CHRIGHTT BREAKDOWN NEW CHIRHGT BREAKDOWN
Wait, at 1:21 you mention that every point above 100 decreases QB cost by 1%. With the stat at 115, wouldnt it be 15% instead of 4%? Unless I'm really misunderstanding something here
😂 It is 15%. I must've been really sleepy when I wrote 4% there.
I'm so glad I found your channel! If I send my build list can you advise if it needs some changes? My goal is close but a slight distance without the use of shotguns, precise on lockon, decent energy recharge and speed for both boosters and quick boost.
Yes, although it would be easier to get help on my discord because its quite difficult to track comments here so I can easily miss the reply.
@Chrightt I'll try get into discord, I actually have 2 similar builds but 1 is coral. For this AC I like to stay close but with enough distance to keep boosting around and over them to keep them guessing where I'm going while using both arm rifles and right before the arm rifles need to reload use the shoulder mount turrent then once they are a 1 hit or 2 away from being stunned I use the blade double attack which I often charge. I try to avoid depleting energy so I use it up until it's low then recharge but will redline if needed.

Ephemera got hit way to hard 😢 was one of my go to chest pieces.
It's still a fantastic core for enabling energy builds, especially if you're trying to cram them on the 150 energy wep generator. The nerf was warranted IMO
So the orbiters job is to be the starting core, it can't be useless but it should be the worst so that regardless of what core you buy it's a upgrade
The unfortunate Joso effect.
If they make dlc I hope they make parts with cloned stats so you can focus more on style customization. For example there is only one set of arms which have maximum target tracking. Also lighter more powerful generators to allow more weapon combos. Would mean less picking function over aesthetic and more unique builds. Thanks for your video and all the info, look forward to putting it to use
Meh, I hope they don't. Making stat clones just for the aesthetics drastically reduces the personality of the parts. Tradeoffs are good, even style tradeoffs.
Mind alpha is my fav because of the looks 😂
YESSS MOREE INFO TO DESTROY MY ENEMIES 😈😈😈😈
Orbiter looking BALLERS tho.
Btw all the Dafeng parts are named after Chinese astrology constellations, and Tian-Qiang is actually 天槍 not 天強，why they name the bulky core sky spear is beyond me
ohhh did not know this. That's pretty interesting. I thought it was 天牆 which would make more sense cause the stats are fat like a wall.
Do you have a "main" chrightt build you feel is personalized just for you?
So what are basically your go to cores for light,medium and heavyweight builds?
Light = Alba
Medium = Alpha
Heavy = Ask someone else ^^
@@kapparaaliach HAL
is my comprehension bad or is what you are saying about quickboost cost conflicting with whats on screen @ 1:20 ?
It's 15%. I must've been really sleepy when I wrote 4%.
Thanks for this video, i want my ac to be practical but also look nice. But i changed my core from melandir, seen in the thumbnail, to the other one in the thumbnail that looks like knights armour. Im stronger and no longer weak to energy weapons.
Ephemeral has great stats for what I go for, but I don’t like making my mech have tits
How to get the mind Alpha?
I really don't get why they gave cores energy cost - it needlessly complicates something that could be easily rolled into the Output Adjustment.
Sometimes, things in this game are pointlessly obtuse.
wait, supply adjustment reduces the time you stay redlined as well? The more you know...

Meanwhile me running ephemera with orbiter legs and vp20D generator for that 11+k en efficiency xD
With that amount of energy they could have used your AC as a backup generator for the railgun :)
@@Alastair_Ulven you regen while flying in the air quite fast, and the moment you touch the ground it will be full instantly to the point where the energy bar is kinda glitchy.
I think the booster efficiency stat also impacts any kind of boost use beyond quickboosts, correct me if I'm wrong.
It only affects quickboosts.
your armor is strong, but your core is weak
Lammergeier best core.
The arm load really bothers me for some reason. I mean isn't the core supposed to be the thing supporting both arm + weapon weight and the flimsy looking ball joint that connects them is very unbelievable 🤣
To all the ordinary laymen watching this: blue good, red bad, Fashion Souls better than numbers.
PSN numbers for that sick paint job plz...
Second
However, vp-40s looks disgusting af
despite watching all the videos, reading up on the subject, I still have 0 understanding of proper build making in this game. I'm just dumb, depressing. Doesn't help that anything goes for PVE, so you're never forced to tweak and spend hours in garage besides minor adjustments.
Melander core really is disappointing, yeah. Having minor penalties to 2/3 adjustment stats just feels really bad & meanwhile none of its stats stick out well enough to justify this. On the other hand, I definitely disagree with your assertion re: Melander C3; it's a fantastic all-arounder core, that pretty much is what the Melander core wishes it was.
This is very reductive as to the utility of the core. Cores affect EN supply efficiency and recharge delay a lot for instance, which can greatly influence flying without the use of coral/yaba generator.
The core in AC6 is as important as the generator.
Why do people refer to the core as a "chest piece"? It's the core. The thorax. All the things mount to the core. It's far more than a "chest piece."
Nevermind... Most people think fromsoft's first game was dark souls or whatever.
It's the piece that's the chest. Chestpiece.
@@valravnsshadow9422 it's so much more than a "chest piece." It's the core. Easier to say and the simple word "core" encompasses all the things that it is. Everything in and on an AC is... Omg nevermind.
@@froddy32623that core thing really only works in universe. If I never see my guy get into it, for all intents and purposes, the AC _is_ me, not the human 621 is. Besides that, you have 2 legs, 2 arms, a head and a chest. People only say "core" in relation to their abdominal area. When the chest is added to the mix, it's the most prominent feature. Hell, the first thing you notice on the different Cores is the stuff they changed in the chest area, not the core area.
Sorry, theyre chests to most people.
