How to Beat the First Boss in Armored Core 6
0Boss: HC Helicopter
The first boss battle in Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon happens at the end of the opening Prologue mission, and even though it can seem overwhelming at first, our guide is here to help.
Like so many Souls games, what seems like an impossible encounter is actually easy if you understand how these mechanics work. You know when there’s a massive boss, and it becomes easy if you sit near his butt and keep dodging behind him? Stay close enough, and they can’t really hit you.
Fighting this helicopter is a bit like that. You wouldn’t think that flying into an enemy 40 times your size would be smart, yet here, you want to boost right at this thing as often as possible to slash it with your sword for a lot more damage and impact compared to your other weapons. (Deal enough impact damage, and it’ll temporarily stagger, giving you a chance to deal extra damage while it’s stunned.)
Do your best to stagger it and then unload with everything you’ve got, but try to ensure that your Pulse Blade is available right as it staggers. That way, you should be able to attack with the weapon twice before the helicopter recovers.
Focus on dodging enemy fire and moving around as much as possible. The copter will strafe often and then settle in a fixed position. Every time this happens, fire off a volley of missiles and rocket right towards it to slash it up. Keep the pressure on, and it should go down soon enough.
