Just finished NG+ of Armored Core 6 and I killed Ayre with a fully charged pilebunker, with barely 200 AP left. it felt like hitting one of these
The last minute of the fight was insane. We were both on our last slivers of health, she was throwing out melees like crazy, and I was barely managing to cling on by chipping away at her pulse shield.
The pure DESPERATION of both of us to win was so palpable, like a scene where the hero and villain just throw down their weapons and go full slugging match until one of them falls. I definitely prefer the other ending, but this was insane in its own right. I felt so conflicted.
