Just need some tips to defeat ayre (no more problems/solved)

[NuclearPotassium]

Yeah, i took the overseers ending, just to find ayre against me,
I managed to take out half of her health in my best attempt, but I ended up running out of kits and I died because of it.
I'm kind of bad at dodging her melee attacks
I saw some tips on YouTube, for example: stay on the wall and wait for her to get close to do the melee attack, then bombard her with explosive weapons, I haven't tested (i will) it but I wanted to see if there are any other tips that could help.

Yeah, most tips i saw said about explosive weapons, thanks.

Not really what my video is. The star of the show are the worm cannons and the assault armor. The Javlin Bazooka is there so you can combo.

Worm cannons for a stun. Bazooka to hold her in the stun. Then use the moonlight blade to finish the combo while she is still locked down. Also, shoot for a minimum boost speed of 315.

Personally suggest ALULA/21E Booster and BML-G1/P32DUO-03 Dual Missile Launcher.

[NuclearPotassium]

Ah ok, is because when i see the stun cannon in action, it looks like explosive

First I highly recommend you get use to her teleport move. Once you narrow that down, Ayre becomes very predictable and easy.

• For starters, if you are on the ground, Ayre's teleport can only go left or right (she also orients her body into which direction she is going and even leaves a trail) and she does so after a period of time either attack or not attacking. Lets just say 5 to 8 seconds you have a window to attack her. Said teleportation as well is done in what I can only assume is 90 degree arcs that increase or decrease in range with how close you are to her. So if you are up in you face, Ayre will most likely be somewhere behind you. if you are far, well you will definitely see her.
  
  
• Now during said window, Ayre, like most NPCs, will attempt to dodge your barrage of bullets if it is either adding up to a boatload of damage or if you try to hit her very hard with like an explosive/charge shot. With your build in mind, I'd suggest you blast her with you rifles as soon as she has finished her teleport to trigger that and then fire your missiles to make sure they hit. The idea is that your missiles is what is meant to assist in taking down that shield/ build ACS and you really don't want to waste them.
  
  
• Now for her melee's, her melees are mostly done after a teleport as you can probably already tell but more importantly, since you are using reverse joints, you can just dash backwards to avoid a swipe. But note this, if you do the prior and you are still in Ayre's line of sight, she may attempt to swing with another strike. Just backdash again. If you're not using reverse joints you can just dash under Ayre's armpit (according to which arm she is swinging with) to avoid the attack. Or heck, you can just cheese Ayre by just doing the up and down motion (fly up to avoid melees and drop down, rinse and repeat).

Extra stuff to know

Now for that one spooky zigzag attack she does to create a nuclear explosion. Just dash either left or right. The zigzag is meant to confuse you but just know that the attack is just a explosive beam.

Ayre's missiles can be a bit tricky too since they are weird but they are relatively easy to dodge. Think of most of the missiles she produce are like homing shotgun shots. The catch is that they group up in a delay just before they hit you and that is your time to dodge. There are her other missile attacks as well but they aren't as irritating so you should be good.

Finally, plane laserbeam. stay in the ayre while she is busy flying around looking cool af and when she is done and about to shoot (you'll see her transforming), just descend from the air and that is enough to dodge it.


As for phase 2, all the prior still applies but just that she's faster.


Good luck!

I went with heaviest build and weapons and then run away from her in a straight line so shes overwhelmed by incoming fire. She can't dodge all of it.

Cheese.

[k-ricks]

hat off for dual turner. to dodge her sword you need speed or just dash through her

[NuclearPotassium]

alright, thanks for the tips

[RiceTrooper]

For her sword attacks, I usually just stop moving and boost toward her when she reaches me, or fly upward.

Ayre loves taking all your shots (pause), so you don't really need firearms specialization if you're willing to exploit pauses in her movement. I'd save the walls for the second phase.

Stability damage is encouraged. The plasma shields go down quickly with sustained 300+ damage fire. Stun weapons, especially the needles, really helped, but the laser knife and zimmerman might be the easiest way to chain staggers and damage. Usually, after 2 or 3 missile barrages, she will fly around you before melee attacking.

Her wing blades are somewhat easy to spot if you're at a distance. You can bait her by jumping or flying and then fall to the ground before she reaches you. Doing enough damage in this form will prevent her from doing the massive flight attack (for me).

As for her explosive attacks in the second phase, alternate between flying and boosting, or use the walls as cover. I don't do well with her ghost best friends, so I just charge right at her full-force. I found that it's more predictable by forcing her on the edge (pause) of the map, since the ghosts will only come from one general direction.

Explosives are also decent, but I never really found them to be useful. The main worry is repair costs, but ammo seems to impact mission ranking a lot, too. Not sure about time, since I took 6 minutes.

[RiceTrooper]

This was also with a light build with Nachtreiher parts and (if I remember right) reverse joint legs.

[AI]

i only see 1 problem with your build, your fcs is specialized for long range combat, while ayre will chase you down by teleporting, not giving you the distance you want to engage on, try changing the fcs into the close/mid one

and since you're using rj leg, you'll want to stay on ground as much as you can to use the hopping power from the leg to dodge her attacks, i usually pair the directional dodge with a jump upward for a panic button if i'm out of energy

or, if you don't mind changing your build, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3396737401

it's speed will help you passively dodge most ayre's long range attack, and the quick boost will help you dodge her other attacks

i forgot that i also reflexively put basho arm for that bunk damage increase, mb -w-')>

[Maverick]

Just give her the pump and dump after she tries to cut you. See that it's coming, dodge, and light her up

[NuclearPotassium]

didn't saw my fcs is for long range, i will change it.
