Boss Movement
Ayre moves quite fast, so your shots need to be on target. Since it regenerates its shields, you need to damage it fast and in quick succession.
Boss Strategy
- Stay Aggressive
- Constantly apply pressure
- Use your weapons and stay close, dodging forward when necessary.
- Use Your Stun Needle Launchers
- Stun Needle Launchers can stagger Ayre or break her shields
- Shoot them in quick succession to ensure at least one hits
- Save them for staggering or combine them with Gatling Gun shots for more damage
- Phase 2: More Speed
- When Ayre's health drops to 50%, she becomes faster and more aggressive.
- Even clones appear, making tracking difficult.
- Keep up the aggression.
- She starts vulnerable, so hit her with Stun Needle Launchers before her shield recovers.
- Keep dodging and shooting.
With determination and the right build, you'll take down Ayre and finish the challenging boss fight in Armored Core 6.
