Quotes[]

  • Two of them... Well, we warned them already. Looks like they didn't take us seriously.
  • What's wrong? Aren't you the Line Ark survivors?
  • Looks like I was the careless one. Forgive me. I gave you everything I had.

NEXT Asterism[]

NEXT Schematic ACFA Asterism

NEXT Asterism

Julius' white and pink NEXT Asterism is a lightweight machine designed to deliver heavy firepower at mid to long range. Her loadout includes an MP-O601JC PM missile launcher, RC01-PHACT rail cannon on back, ER-O200 wrist mounted laser rifle on the right arm, and HLR71-VEGA Hi-Laser in the left hand. She also uses efficient perma-flight boosters and a large capacity generator for prolonged combat. Asterism makes up for its low defense with its exceptional side QB ability, which is impressive even for a lightweight NEXT. This combined with high accuracy and powerful weapons, makes Asterism a deadly foe.

Like her Aspina predecessor Joshua O'Brien, Julius's NEXT is predominantly white.

Strategy[]

The following information is "gray area" content — it may not be completely factual, and/or falls under YMMV territory.

Mission

When the mission starts, boost into Arteria Carpals and land in the depressed region between the giant energy transmitters (they look like giant guns.) Wait there and she will eventually fall into this place and will give you ample time to hit her before she manages to escape. The same strategy stated above also applies to her on this mission: move around a lot to dodge her VEGA shots, then once that weapon of hers is empty, stay close and launch a barrage of missiles and high-accuracy shots.

Your biggest advantage in this mission however, is Noblesse Oblige. Noblesse's laser cannons are quite effective against her and can take her down with a little bit of effort. Again, however, her speed makes hitting her very difficult. One strategy you can apply here is diverting her attention to Noblesse. Stay back for a bit, make Julius target Noblesse, then once she's focused on him, flank her and unleash as much firepower as you can. The same strategy stated above in the Order Match section also applies to her: keep laying down missiles on and she'll eventually run out of EN fast. And since you have Noblesse and its powerful laser cannons to help you out, you'd be able to defeat her in no time.

Order Match

Julius Emery is possibly one of the most difficult enemies in the game; much like her predecessor Joshua O'Brien, Julius uses a lightweight NEXT that focuses on lightning speed while also maintaining hard hitting weaponry. She uses powerful side boosters which make it difficult to lock onto her for extended periods of time, and also uses weapons which are damaging and difficult to dodge. The main thing to watch out for from her is the VEGA Hi-Laser Rifle, as she is very proficient with it. Since her dodging ability is exceptional, recommended weapons against her are high-velocity and high-accuracy weapons, such as laser rifles (ANTARES, 063ANLR) or the BFF rifles (051ANNR, 063ANAR), and missile launchers. A constant barrage of missiles forces her to keep on dodging, making her drain her EN faster than she can recover it. This leaves her vulnerable and wide open to shots from your rifles. One strategy you can apply is to maker her use up her VEGA Hi-Laser Rifle, which only has 6 shots. Mind you again, she is very deadly with that weapon, so you need to stay at mid-range and move around a lot so that she keeps missing her laser shots. Once she uses up all 6 shots, close in on her and stay close so that her other weapons are rendered almost useless, especially her PHACT Rail Cannon (she tends to stay back when aiming the Rail Cannon, so staying close makes her keep on aiming and never firing the weapon).

Trivia[]

  • Asterism's schematics uses 440 out of a total of 442 FRS points. Not only this is difficult to achieve (only two other NEXTs use the same amount of FRS points; Ambient and Strix Quadruped), this also illustrates the degree of her AMS compatibility.
  • Her AC can be seen in a US Trailer for Armored Core: For Answer.
  • Gerald Gendlin identifies her as a "blue irregular" but Asterism is white with pink details.

Speculation[]

The following information is "gray area" content — it may not be completely factual, and/or falls under YMMV territory.

  • Supposing that Gerald mistook her for Totient, this would imply that Gray Gloom was the one who took down the Carpals facility either alone or alongside Julius. Totient may have trusted her to guard the facility while he retreated recover from the damage he might have taken.
  • Her fate remains a mystery in the ORCA path. Having Strayed attack Arteria Cranium would mean she was not present and may have filled her role elsewhere. Thermidor claims Strayed is the last member of ORCA at that point, meaning that Julius may have died.
