Coral Release: How did you win?

[Blackmage]

Double Zimmermans and double Songbirds have gotten me close, but not cutting it.
It might be easier if I used hardlock, but ♥♥♥♥ hardlock.

Edit, since people are necroing this post:
"Well I finally got it with the double Zimmermans and Songbirds.
The only thing I changed was using the IB parts, as they bumped the energy defense I guess I needed."

[(Un)Common Raida]

dual miniguns, dual needle guns or one needle gun one song bird
go bipedal or wheelchair

Same setup tbh. Bee-lined to the two C spiders then worked down the last one.

i used the tanky VE-4 set, with double stun needle gun and double zimmermans, why bc fc him and his movement. he got cheesed so hard. i was using full lazer shotgun builds on him before and he almost died but his movent is just so dumb i got tired of TRYING to get the last knockout on him and just cheesed tf out of em.

I actually found going straight for the main guy and getting him down to 50% he'll blow up the C-Spiders for me.

Zimmerman, Laser Lance, Pile bunker, Birdsong.

Zimmerman shot. If the stagger bar is about a third full, fully charged Laser Lance as soon as possible, then switch to the Pile Bunker for a massive charged hit. Rinse and repeat between 2-5 times, depending on the boss.

The Birdsong is mostly here to keep the stagger up between overheat of melee weapons, or to give myself some space, or for extra damage if I can't reach for a charged Pile Bunker.

It's been my main strategy for AC/boss killing. Works like a charm.

I S-ranked all my missons (except defend the mining ship) with this loadout

Charge laser lance and then firing both shoulder needle launchers immediately after solves most bosses / AC problems. Plasma launcher is very effective in terms of ammo - damage. It basically 1 - 2 shots every single trash mob in the game and you have 90+ rounds.

As for using this loadout specifically for coral release, nothing really needs to be changed, just charge laser lance into the bosses and then open fire with both needle launchers. Or you can shoot the plasma cannon to force the boss to dodge, fire both needle launchers to stagger the boss and then charge laser lance. Just play by ear.

This thing right here. The main thing that made a difference wasn't the build, but me actually using hard lock on (which is a damn struggle on MnK). Ain't no way you can track that *teleports behind you* BS even with a mouse.

Probably could've had an easier time with Needles and Lance, but didn't feel like it.

just shot him really really hard.

I just went in with my default build, Moonlight sword- Coral variant, basic shotgun and two laser cannons on a tetrapod. Focused down the boss and one salvo after stagger knocked him down to 50% hp, despawning the adds. From there, it was game over. Took two tries only because I ran out of ammo the first time thinking I needed to kill the adds. For the boss, lock on and let him zip around until he gets close; use the melee and cannons to overload acs, and you get a free second salvo with the shotty and cannons from the two-second stun animation.

I beat it with that.

[Dustfire]

Double Zimmermans, 6-cell plasma missile (frontal-launch, not upward), pilebunker in shoulder slot. I ended up basically ignoring the Sea Spiders since the phase 3 transition auto-kills them anyways

Well I finally got it with the double Zimmermans and Songbirds.
The only thing I changed was using the IB parts, as they bumped the energy defense I guess I needed.

[Wraith 5]

I minimized how much I had to aim. Dual Zimms and dual laser turrets on a heavy biped build. If you keep 3rd phase near the turrets, they can help build up stagger pretty quickly.

[REAPER]

the highest impact per second (IPS) weapon combination (over a 10 secs period) uses
double zimmermans (latest patch), diffuse laser cannons and spring chicken leg kicks

it totally destroy most bosses with S rank except for AAP07A: ARQUEBUS BALTEUS

[Sand]

2x Duckett, Chainsaw, and Pulse cannon
