Bruiser, known as Bull's Run in Japanese (ブルズ・ラン Buruzu ran), is a Raven seen in Armored Core: Project Phantasma. He is ranked #20 in the Arena.
Information[]
"The Bruiser," as he is known, is very aggressive and prefers to attack his victims from the front.
AC Charger[]
AC Charger
Charger (チャージャー Chājā) is a lightweight reverse-joint AC equipped with a large rocket launcher, linear gun, and plasma cannon weapon arms. Due to Human PLUS enhancements he can fire his linear gun while moving. The unit is also capable of ignoring weight restrictions.
Strategy[]
Now, this is where the fights start to get more and more difficult. Often pilots who reach this stage in the Arena never make it past here. Because from this point onward, majority of all the ACs are all PLOW, and they abuse it to the fullest extent. This is the first real PLOW AC that you fight in the Arena, and he's not to be taken lightly.
All of his weapons are hard and heavy hitters and he's also quite accurate with every one of them. His plasma cannons and large rockets hurt a lot and his linear gun can stun you repeatedly. Couple that with his hefty AP and defense makes the fight nearly impossible to beat him via conventional methods.
So what must you do to beat this guy? First off, his plasma cannons do hurt, but it also comes at the cost of draining energy. Even for a PLOW AC, this guy isn't not prone to running out of energy while firing energy weapons. He'll usually fire off a few shots from his plasma before he depletes most of his energy and he must drop down to recover energy. It is at this point he'll either switch to his large rockets or linear gun. This is the point where you have to hammer him with everything you got, before he gets a chance to blast you with another plasma shot. Avoid his large rockets at all cost! They have the power akin to that of a grenade launcher, one hit can deal insane amount of damage, so avoiding that is a must. His linear gun also doesn't help matters, it can continually knock you back or stop you in your tracks, not to mention it fires faster than the rockets. Staying further away would give you a better chance of avoiding his linear gun.
Another strategy is to wait this guy out (run him out of ammo). Head to an open map like the Marine base, and let him fire at you. Dodge his shots and wait him out, it may be time-consuming but it does work. Once he's run out, fire away at him. If you happen to run out of ammo yourself, make sure you have a blade weapon so that you can still finish him off.
