anyone got any tips for beating him after fighting swinburn for the combat log ???

long range

I used a light frame and circle strafe staggered him. I avoided using AB and tried to make sure I had QB in case he tried some nonsense.

I think that was an easter egg for Sekiro; especially with the weapons that it was using.

Fast mech with double shotties if you want to make it easy, just like everything else.

i'm gonna upgrade my ost and try again in the morning i was using light frame 2 light 6 shot rocket pods and mini gun and sword . works wonders on swinburn not as good for shinobi ...

twin grenades are an armored core classic. But my go to tantrum build is twin laser cannon tank with close combat FCS, and whatever non-gattling full auto fits my fancy at the moment.

tanks being able to chain laser cannon shots is really zesty when the enemy loves input read evading the first shot, and half the time they will walk into the second. Decent direct hit values too so if your heat isn't too high you can follow up with MORE LASER unlike your greandes being on cooldown after a stagger.

Remember to use arms with at least 100 recoil rating AND non ♥♥♥♥ gunplay. less than 90 melee stat isn't an issue when you are not using melee weapons.

This is the build I used.

After failing about 20 times using long range, I said F*** IT and tried blitzing him at close range which worked.

I was quad legs, but I had Songbird, plasma missiles, bazooka, and the gatling gun. I did have Pulse Shield as my expansion, popped it and point blanked him. I think what happened since my screen was pretty much filled with explosions is between Songbird and my Bazooka, I was able to stagger him often enough to keep him from meleeing, thus I was able to eventually take him down.

Grenades are only good in this game if you use them after the target is staggered it seems. Everything is coded to instantly dodge your shots.

I've had some success with 4 grenade launchers, but it sure isn't easy in this game.

Enemies that get out of stagger too fast or are ultra mobile is better to go double shotty than having a melee weapon.

Yes and no. I have had success blitzing someone down and as they escape to the left or right I am able to swing in anticipation and clock them with a songbird or the shottyzooka.

you can time your blade attacks for when the enemy is about to stagger, if you realise your opening is gone, QB to cancel the attack

I did the opposite. Same as Swinburne. Flying kick to the face followed by twin shotguns. Repeat and don't let him use a repair kit.

Yeah that's pretty much what I had to do, I used the gatling guns instead of the bazookas though.

I kept moving backwards firing burst rifles and dual songbirds. Songbirds are great.
