Turmoil's Emblem

Turmoil, also known as Gaku Kirishma in Japanese (ガク・キリシマ), is a Raven in Armored Core: Nexus. He is ranked 13th in the Arena.

Information[]

AC design incorporating thermal stress inducing weapons. Combat is limited to close-range due to the pilot's preferred weapon load out.

AC Brimstone | Sacred Fire[]

Brimstone is a midweight bipedal AC equipped with dual-back rocket launchers, anti-missile extensions, a flamethrower, a handgun and a solid-shell EO core. In the Japanese version, Brimstone is known as 御神火 (Goshinka), meaning "sacred fire".

Strategy[]

A rare case where the pilot lives up to the description. Brimstone will execute boost hops toward you while searching for an opening to let loose with his flamethrower. While closing the gap, Brimstone will use his back rockets to get some damage in before switching to his handgun and flamethrower for engulfing opponents in searing flames at close range. To further supplement this, Brimstone will also use its EO in conjunction with his arm weapons to inflict maximum damage.

Just as the description states, Brimstone's weapons require him to be at close-range to reach full effectiveness, meaning that his threat level drops dramatically once proper distance is kept from him. If done right, you will only see his rockets being thrown in your direction with barely passable accuracy, and his flamethrower will never make contact with your AC. As Brimstone's combat style is pretty straightforward, where he will simply attempt boost hops and occasional glides towards you, there is no need to hold back; Brimstone readily presents himself as a delicious target for just about anything. To make matters worse for him, Brimstone's cooling performance is pitiful; it's a frequent occurrence that he will be reduced to walking idly about and shooting aimlessly as he depletes his energy from overheating and poor energy management. This ironic twist would make Brimstone laughably easy as he is rendered helpless, waiting only to be put out of his misery.

Simply put, Brimstone is a poor example of a one-trick pony. His heavy thermal-stressing weapons are effectively useless against anything smart enough to keep away from it. There is little need to strategize to face him, so long as you stay out of reach of his searing flames, Brimstone is an easy picking.

Trivia[]

  • The word Turmoil means a state of disturbance or uncertainty. The word Brimstone is another name for Sulfur. Brimstone can also mean 'Fire and Brimstone' AKA Hell in Christian Mythology. All this fits the pilot's theme of fire (such as the flamethrower he wields and inflicting thermal stress damage on his opponents).
    • In the Japanese version however, the Raven's last name is a reference to Mount Kirishima, a 1700 meter high active volcano located in the Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures in Japan, which is reflected in the AC's emblem. The AC name references the sacred fire festival that originates from the descent of Ninigi-no-Mikoto, and it also shares the name with a Japanese mythological motif.
