Information[]

The Raven who put together this AC did so with a single overriding goal; to ensure that he is always the last man standing. Heavy armor makes this one tough unit to crack.

AC Destroyer | Hakaio[]

Destroyer (known in Japanese as Hakaio, ハカイオー) is a tank leg AC equipped with decoy dispensers, energy refill extensions, a pair of lightweight grenade launchers on the back, a two-shot sniper rifle and a rotary machine gun.

Strategy[]

Ten Ton is arguably the toughest opponent in the Arena despite his rank. The Destroyer AC is a floater tank, meaning that it has a decent speed to it for this leg class, in addition to being robust. That means that going around this AC is not going to be easy. Ten Ton very adept at using his weapons so don’t fool around with him. His sniper rifle and machine gun are a large threat at most ranges, since if the one weapon does not hit you much the other usually does. He will usually switch to his grenade launchers right away so pay attention to his shots and dodge accordingly - take note that Ten Ton tends to fire two grenades in quick succession, and the second is more likely to correct and hit you. Despite his somewhat low mobility, his use of the JIREN extensions allow him to boost longer than he should be able to, so expect him to go airborne at times. He likes to take arcing flights above and past you, which will spell big trouble for you if you let him do that.

Due to his accuracy with his grenade launchers, staying further away is advised as his accuracy diminishes at longer range. Should you choose to remain close to him, he will continually bombard you with them while relentlessly shooting his machine gun which can deal a lot of damage. It’s not advised to face him on a tank for this reason as his grenade launcher + machine gun combo can strip off chunks of AP in no time. The sniper rifle and machine gun pair are not much weaker either.

Fortunately, while all of Destroyer's weapons pack a big punch, they have limited ammo. A viable tactic would be to run circles around him or around the map while continuously evading & moving to avoid damage. Once he has run out of his grenades, you will only need to worry about his machine gun & sniper rifle both of which are less dangerous than the grenades. But do note that he is quite accurate with all of his weapons so take care not to let him get behind you.

The best way to diminish his firepower is to take a sniper AC and hammer on him from a safe range. Ten Ton moves his craft in a predictable way, so he is a large target for cannon weaponry. Since Destroyer is a tank, it does harbor good defense so use weapons that can bring it down quickly. Linear rifles/cannons are a good choice as they can stun him & hinder his movements, while missiles are also viable to use on him, since he rarely uses his decoys. Grenades will also do the job - shoot right when he lands for best results.
