Good build suggestions for chapter 5 balteus?

[boblick]

Did anyone else side with Ayre at Chapter 5? You have to fight Balteus again, but I just can't figure out a good build. Any suggestions?

2x Zimmermans
2x worm cannons

That's pretty much all you need for everything.

equip either a pulse gun to get rid of the blue shields or run dual wield Nebula plasma guns. Both those weapons will remove the shields fast.

Zimmermans are fun, worm cannons are boring. Zero respect for worm cannon users.

double shotgun with ice worm stun needle thing. dual stun needle.

your goal is to stagger him twice in between shield phases and melt him. like dw about dodging a lot, your goal is to be on him a lot and dodge stuff as you're going towards him.

if that fails, resort to dual machine guns with dual ice worm needle. you'll get it first try.

Double Shotguns, double Songbirds.
Stay close, and keep shooting.

Ok, thanks. I'll try these. Dual Zimmermans have been my favorite from the moment I got them, but they seemed unfit against shields. I'll try again and put something other than basic missiles on my shoulders.

try dual nebula plasma guns they are really fun, and quite good.

2x Zimmer, 2x spread bazooka. Stun locks and massive damage.

[boblick]

I don't seem to have nebula plasma guns available? Are they found in some container or battle log unlock perhaps?

[FAT WANZER]

plasma lancer and pile driver you can 2 combo with those 2 melee for fast big direct hit dmg when it shields is down

Dual zimmer should still take a good chunk out of shields
I always follow up with dual morley
easy late NG and NG+ for me with that setup

changed to full ALBA dual zimmer dual trueno in NG++ because I want to play light

[boblick]

Very good suggestions. I didn't even consider the stun needle/"worm cannon" because it says takes down Coral Shields. I thought it was only good on that Ice Worm fight.
