Robot Battle Armored Core War

The player has been tasked with assembling the team's ACs for battle

As the player reaches to the Regular League, he or she is confronted by another brand-new team, BT Wyvern, and its architect, Linus.

After two matches against BT Wyvern, Linus sends a message that he meet the player again.

Rank after rank, the player again confronts a formidable opponent, Team Ogre, and its architect, Diablo.

Though Ogre usually wins through harsh tactics, their battle against BT Wyvern was horrible.

Fortunately, the player defeated Diablo.

As the player gets nearer through the top ranks, he or she is again confronted by BT Wyvern with a new AC model, Force Wing X.

Afterwards, Diablo confronts the player again with an AC similar to Linus' AC and has installed with a mysterious data in Diablo's AC.

The player manages to defeat Diablo and Team Ogre was temporarily banned due to being accused of stealing the 'Master Data'.

After defeating the second rank Team Neonia and its architect, Raving,

the player has the right to challenge Team Testarossa Artigiana (Or 'Arti' for short) and FFA's top architect, Bren.

After the player defeats Bren, the credits roll and the player will become the new top architect.

Also, the player will have three special exhibition battles against Neonia, Ogre and BT Wyvern.

The game Robot Battle Armored Core War puts you in charge of a rookie team of five armored core (AC) units.

As an "architect" you have to assemble and tune the AC units and use them to square off against other mechs in the futuristic sport known as Formula Front.

The majority of the gameplay is found in the garage, where you can outfit your AC units with hundreds of different parts and weapons.

hen building your robot you have to account for things like energy output, weight, heat, and mobility.

Each AC unit has six different stats that you have to balance: attack power, defensive power, mobility, energy supply, cooling, and VS ECM,

which is your AC unit's resistance to electronic countermeasures that can be used to disrupt radar and weapon targeting.

The trick is to balance those six parameters to achieve a high overall rating. That's much easier said than done though,

and it takes a lot of designing, tweaking, and testing to build a fabled S-rank AC unit.

There are hundreds of parts available to you right at the start of the Robot Battle Armored Core War,

and because you always have five AC units in your garage, you can have each one tuned for specific purposes.

Before each match you can research your opponent, and based on their strengths and weaknesses you can determine which AC unit to use,

and exactly how to tune it. You can choose from dozens of heads, arms, legs, generators, and radiators to build the basic structure of your AC.
