Armored Core Verdict Day : Beginners Guide #7 - About Scan Mode

      Article for scan mode this time. You've already know about scanning I guess, but maybe you'd better know the detailed spec of scan mode, to gain intels with using recons, or recovering your energy gauge. Let's see then :3

#1. Gathering info of enemy unit

(You can see stats of target by scanning, & it's very important)

      By scanning, you can see enemy unit's detailed stats; weapons, armors, AP, distance from your AC & your weapons' effectiveness. As you know, in ACVD you'll have to scout, to find proper enemy for your own weapons; you don't wanna use your HEAT machineguns to heavy ACs, or some pulses onto tanks, or lunge with light AC onto enemy with pulse machinegun or sth I guess. & that's why "scanning" is important. You must check enemies & get a proper strategy, at least to be survived.

      To scan the target, you'll have to check your head's scanning ability. Most of CE & some of KE head has enough scanning ability, which almost all TE heads don't have, & I usually recommend to equip HF-227(Maggy KE head) or some CE head to find proper target quick. Of course you'll have to prepare your recons to search enemy behind obstacles. Gathering information is important, same as building your AC.

#2. Recovering energy of generator

(EN recovery 3300? Is this possible to use in sorties?)

      OK. I think you've already recognized that scan mode makes your EN regeneration much faster than in combat mode, but maybe you thought "WHY" about that topic I guess. Let's see then.

(Of course :3)

      In scan mode, you don't have to care about EN consumption of these parts; FCS, arms, weapons on arm, bay & shoulder. Cuz their EN consumption will be cut down while you're in scan mode, & that's why the build like screenshot above can be exist. You can see how it goes with watching vid above as well :3

      However, it means that you cannot use your FCS & weapons in scan mode, including some additional supportive units as CIWS or sth, though you can use boostcharge in scan mode. By this, you'll have to think about "when" to turn on/off scan mode in action. That can conclude your battle result at last.



      A bit short article for now Xp Maybe I'd rather empower my writing skill as well...
      Always thx for watching & reading :)
