Information[]

530px-Armored Core Mavors

AC Mavors as seen in Brave New World. In the AC3 Portable Arena, he is equipped only with the SHADE rifle and MOONLIGHT blade.

Never without his visor, this Raven is a battle-hardened mercenary who knows when to cut his losses and run. He mentors a young female Raven who's the same age as his daughter, and competes in the Arena to demonstrate his battle skills.

He plays a major role in the Armored Core: Brave New World novel and is stated as being the mentor to Double Heart. A veteran Raven. As one of surviving Cyptonym members, the other two are Asuma Greenfield and Orcus Noir. Asuma served as 13's operator. He lost his life to a mysterious unit known as the "Black Unknown". After his death, he have been dismantled for Dracone Project before the main story.

AC Mavors[]

Mavors is a lightweight two-legged unit that emphasizes aggressive tactics. In the Armored Core 3 remake on the PSP console, he is only equipped with the SHADE laser rifle and MOONLIGHT blade. However, it can be implied that some form of Human PLUS is in use during the main storyline (although it's obvious that he isn't meshed into his AC like other Human PLUS subjects) of Armored Core: Brave New World since he can be with a KARASAWA laser rifle, MOONLIGHT laser blade, and two grenade launchers on his back all with only a lightweight frame.

Thirteen in the encounter with the "Black Unknown".

Thirteen's original AC was a quad-legged craft. Armaments included solid shell machine gun weapon arms, shoulder shield extension parts and CWX-LIC-10 linear cannon, suggesting a mid-to-long range setup. The name for of AC was never mentioned in the novel. Thirteen used this unit in his last mission encounter with the "Black Unknown " in the forest. In spite of his heavy fire power, the unknown unit was able to deflect his attacks utilizing something akin to Primal Armor. Thirteen met his end from the machine's missile attacks.

AC Mavors

Thirteen's consciousness was transplanted into Mavors after his death by Phantom 0. While its lightweight assembly suggests an Overweight setup due to the dual grenade launchers and KARASAWA + MOONLIGHT combination, it was developed by the Dracone Project as a new generation AC disguised as a conventional unit. In addition since the unit is linked to an AI, it received high performance backup from Phantom 0 and boasts high performance comparable to custom-made ACs combined with the pilot's skill. The unit was destroyed by Mizuki in the Coliseum arena battle in Episode 13-14.

Strategy[]

If it's one thing, he's fast. Unless you have a fast AC yourself, you won't be able to keep up with him. The SHADE laser rifle, EO core, and not to mention his MOONLIGHT blade, will definitely catch you off guard. He tends to stay behind you and attack, so the utilization of grenade with the quick-turn extensions will catch him off guard in return. Otherwise, use a tank and a aperture laser cannon while in the Arena and just mow him down from your starting position.
