UC only Missile ART bot ideas?

Subject: UC only Missile ART bot ideas? Sun Sep 29, 2013 1:55 am

Alright... I've decided my play style is LONG RANGE... and what better/easier way than using ART missiles.

These builds MUST be UC ONLY!

The biggest issue I see are the Anti-air missiles, which are mostly built in the BS of most ART units, like:
-- Snailbot, Destructor, Destructor Girl (LOCKED parts).

There are missiles which track SOME air units, like:
-- Starbunger, Toybox, Locomotive X

Lastly, there are non-missiles which also home onto air units like:
-- LilyRain (psy), Amateus, Maril March (soundball)

I WISH these 3 were able to be equip by non-SUP and non-AIR... Crying or Very sad

-- Nicole Malice AM (LOCKED), Bugsycait BS (slicers), Cetusion LG (stardust missiles... no-lock),

Basically... I'm looking for auto-tracking that can target MULTIPLE targets.
Hard to say what BD to start with... LilyRain (psy)... Snailbot / Destructor (anti-airs)... scratch

I'm also thinking of keeping Maril March's AM2 with the 30Force Shockwave to attack close-range Air units.

If you guys had to make a really good AA ART bot (UC ONLY) that can attack multiple targets... how would you build it?

Thanks.

Try Ballistic Launcher(available in super UC gara) with 3x g.rapid tunes on a Destructor

Spoiler:

accel saber am 3s, hoverion bs 3s, handy zook 3s, comes from super uc gara
grandum bs from arcantus and arena (prolly, can't remember), ranging from 0s to 3s.
you'll have to be lucky on getting 3s thoarla though

If you like missiles, save up your UC to RT for two months and buy an Albatreos from the shop. That thing eats nails and shits out missiles, all day. It's main weapon is missiles and its sub weapon is missiles. You can even put missile arms onto it, if you like missiles with your missiles. (If you like the bot and like shitting out tons of missiles, you can use your UC to RT from a third month to buy a Psycho Formula with a psygun head and stick that onto an Albatreos. If you lead off with a long ranged psygun, the missiles will go much farther.)

As for purely UC builds, though, I'd go with Destructor. I don't like it, anymore, because it doesn't have Broad Radar.. but, if you can live with being constantly ass-raped by invisible meelees, then, by all means, go ahead.

Also, as someone stated earlier, Ballistic Launcher is a good weapon when it is speed tuned. This part is bazaarable, so, if you can't make one, you might be able to buy one during bazaar.

yeah, Albatreos is much faster than your Destructor, and can spit out 1029831905 missiles per minute.

Otherwise really, Destructor is your best sub weapon core, next to Toybox.

Subject: Re: UC only Missile ART bot ideas? Sun Sep 29, 2013 3:38 am

balistic launcher is the best. :3

Subject: Re: UC only Missile ART bot ideas? Sun Sep 29, 2013 3:44 am

My god, people. What's with all the hate for DESU? IMO, Desu>Toybox. Why? Because I can poop out the missiles while hopping about.

Also, OP, you're gonna need something like a zook for close range too. If only for the moments when you need it.

PS, the Albatreos idea is so far the best. I'm personally saving for one.

If you're looking for an air (i see a few airs mentioned there) with homing stuff UC, try Izuna Kamui Nagi. It's in shop and the LGs have a BS on them with homing wisps. Really good if you ask me.

Those wisps are complete shit, don't use them.

Broad Radar is very important for missile builds imo so I'd go with V1 or Maxis.

3s Grandum BS appear from friend reward sometime, so somebody may have it for sell.

It bulky, but the tracking on those missile is really good.

Yeah, I have the standard Kamui BS (not locked) and tried them on several airs... the homing on those are okay... but you are can't move when those go off... which kinda sucks.
Not to mention those BS are AIR only.

That's a L ART right? ... is he a Rt Gara bot?

@ Others
Yeah, I've seen videos of the Albatreos (too bad he's Rt), and he seems fun.
Read that the homing is better against AIR rather than LAND units, which is perfect for my preference. Twisted Evil

Also, are Toybox Cruise Missiles (BD) easy to avoid?
They seem slow and are the vertical trajectory type, more suited for land types.

Lastly... wasn't there another UC bot that had psyguns as a part other than albateros?
Can't recall if an ART can use them though...

Subject: Re: UC only Missile ART bot ideas? Sun Sep 29, 2013 10:04 am

If you're looking for multi-targeting missiles for UC, Grandum BS is your best bet. It drops on Arcantus to (I think). I don't remember very well about it, but there's some reason you want to avoid the Grandum core and use the BS on something else. The missiles are really sugoi, but the BS is the very symbol of fat ARTs.

As for AIRs, maybe that LG from Mach Knight (One? I forgot th variant). The older AIR bots don't have many tracing subweapons. Seraph FC is UC available if that helps ^^"

If you mean Psycho Formula, then yea he's in shop for 30k uc

@Zwiebel
Mach Knight Ace have the lg with missile if i'm not wrong.

The UC version of Psycho Formula does NOT have the Psygun HD, only the Rt version... Sad

That, and isn't Ace in gara?
So many things Rt based that are just much... better.
*sighs*

Just out of curiosity... what are all the Psygun body parts?
-- LilyRain BD (4x)
-- Psycho Formula HD (1x) (Rt version only)
-- Ablateros HD (1x)
-- .....

Subject: Re: UC only Missile ART bot ideas? Sun Sep 29, 2013 1:22 pm

Mach Knight Ace legs are in the shop, on a Mach Knight Ace, for like 20 RT. I think I'm the only person that seriously uses it.

Grandum BS will make your bot extremely fat and easy to slap around. It targets up to 4 units at once and has 120 ammo. It used to be in one of the UC Garapons, so older players should have a few left over.

There are other psygun parts for artillery units, but the rest mostly suck.

Albatreos. I can't stress this enough. His core and HD are phenomenal, but the HD would be 2-slot. However, the core from the shop is identical to the one in the gara, leaving you room to customize with any and all 3s items you have, UC or RT.

And if you think Toybox cruise missiles are good, imagine spewing 30 of them in one go. While it's true that Albatreos cruise missiles are smaller and do less damage, they're faster, have better tracking, and you can lock on to up to 6 targets.

The homing on his main is obscene, and when combined with other homing missiles, the resulting shitstorm of projectiles hits even anti-homing AIRs with alarming regularity.

Subject: Re: UC only Missile ART bot ideas? Sun Sep 29, 2013 9:46 pm

Basically Albatreos' SUB WEAPON Lock is for Massive Numbers. While Toybox is ideal for single targets (But then it has a large AoE Explosion.>>>) up to you.

While Albatreos has large capacity, you'd normally put it all on TEC and FLY and lots of other smaller weapons, for bursting.

Toybox is pretty badass when carrying L and above Weaponry (LL Bulk Blast, Ballistic Launcher, Large Bazooka.... well Alba can do it, but its just... bad since you have better choices.)

Subject: Re: UC only Missile ART bot ideas? Sun Sep 29, 2013 10:23 pm

Hmm... so I guess this means i have to save up Rt for Albateros then... =_=

*70 more to go...*

Could someone spare a poor newb some Rt ... or even an Albateros BD? ... lol, j/k Rolling Eyes

Subject: Re: UC only Missile ART bot ideas? Sun Sep 29, 2013 10:26 pm

farm events.
You'll get your RT.
Lotto Cubes also drop RT (1s,3s,5s,7s or even the rare 10s)
Super UC Garapon should also have a drop....

Feel free to tinker with the carts if you don't really feel comfy with going without brodar.

The only troublesome part for this is getting a slotted Cute Beret, a slotted Rimless Blue, and a Cosmic Cola.

Where the heck do you get a slotted cute beret? I mean, I know they exist, but then again, so do black holes... And we haven't found any of those.

I still see people selling them, but for a very steep price. Back then it went as low as 50k. Now, 120k is the standard price, with the occasional 130k-200k overprice.
