AC Equation[]
AC Equation
Equation is a middleweight two-legged AC equipped with a back magazine, laser cannon, hand gun and the MOONLIGHT laser blade. Due to the Human Plus enhancements of the pilot the unit can fire the laser cannon while moving, fire blade waves and launch into battle overweight.
Strategy[]
Despite being ranked higher than Adler, this Raven is much easier to defeat than him. Equation will fly about continually while attempting to nail you with precise laser cannon hits. He may also switch to his handgun to stop you from moving before moving in for the kill with his Moonlight energy waves. Due to his affinity for flying, fighting Equation in a tight space will restrict his mobility quite significantly, making him an easier target.
Although Equation is PLOW AC, its choice of boosters means that its mobility is somewhat slow compared to other ACs faced up to this point. This means that you can easily stay out of Equation's line of sight while picking him off. While he does fly a lot, ACs that utilize fast ground strafing make it extremely difficult for him to line up his FCS to shoot his laser cannon accurately. With this in mind, Equation's threat level drops significantly, leaving him only with his handgun and blade to fall back on, both of which require him to be at close-range to reach full effectiveness. It is also possible to get Equation to have his back turned toward you, that way you can score repeated hits on him with him having no answer to them.
Overall, while Equation can prove troublesome, he is nowhere near as tough as the previous ACs that came before him.
