Can you beat Zuben and Rim Fire with Cascade Range?
A player on the Armored Core subreddit was having trouble defeating Eliminate Enemy AC in Last Raven using Cascade Range. I think the original challenge to me was to use a bipedal blade only? But I feel like there wouldn't be anything to learn if I just made a blader and dumpstered Ja Boobie and Rim Job so I just did the mission using Cascade Range.
It took me about 2 hours to relearn the enemy AI patterns and then beat them. Zuben's AI easily gets stuck on the environment so during attempts I would pressure him against the garage (as seen in this attempt) or get him stuck on the mountain and then just hose him down.
Both Zuben and Rim Fire have the AI quirk of sometimes prioritizing missile evasion instead of focusing on the player. When they do this, they will allow themselves to hard land and I used that as an opportunity to get some easy blade hits on them before doing the tried and true Last Raven method of boosting backwards.
Cascade Range has decent cooling and energy and with his spread of weapons he should be able to complete all the missions in Last Raven no problem. The important part is just picking and choosing when to use or purge weapons to increase your speed to a more acceptable degree. If he was in an earlier armored core game where blades and rockets weren't nerfed into the ground, he'd actually be pretty badass.
