AC Ice Walls[]
AC Ice Walls
AC Ice Walls is a middleweight bipedal AC equipped with an exceed orbit core, energy anti missile extensions, dual back mounted orbit cannons, and laser cannon weapon arms.
However Ice Walls suffers from a general overuse of energy. Ice Walls' FCS is fairly shallow, so only a stationary AC ever needs to worry about being hit.

Gameplay[]
In-Game Information[]
A former street actor, he's taken the show on the road and now performs only for his Arena fans. Winning isn't important to him, it's the spectacle of it. He views Paradox , who has a similar background, as a rival.
Strategy[]
This guy's previous career is evident in his AC piloting, for he is more of a comic relief than anything else. Paranoia will tend to start fights by flying for a bit before falling into a steady routine of boosting and using his orbit cannons, which are a nuisance at best to anything but the slowest of ACs. Given the pressing lack of energy, he will rarely use his laser cannons in battle, dropping his offensive potential dramatically. As such, his damage output remains minor. To make matters worse for him, Ice Walls equips a vertical type FCS, which supposedly should synergize with the jump-happy piloting style of Paranoia, but in practice only serves to hinder his laser cannon accuracy to miserable levels. In sum, if you do not stay in the same place for the whole fight, Paranoia is going to have a hard time hitting you at all. Most players should be able to defeat him through normal combat with no issues at all.
