AAP07: BALTEUS Armored Core 6 Boss Information

AAP07: BALTEUS is a boss encountered in the Attack the Watchpoint

  • This boss is not optional
  • Health: 40110
  • AAP07: BALTEUS is equipped with a large array of weaponry and defensive capabilities. The most annoying defensive capability it has is the pulse armor, as it negates all incoming damage and you have to disrupt it fully before you can deal AP damage. If you fully deplete its pulse armor, it will guarantee a stagger and you can land your most damaging attack during this time. After recovering from stagger, AAP07: BALTEUS will not have its pulse armor active for a while so you can begin straining its ACS. If you leave it unstaggered for long enough, it will regenerate the pulse armor and you'll have to fully deplete it once again to deal damage.

AC6 AAP07: BALTEUS Boss Fight Strategy

The Best Frame Parts, Units, and other builds to defeat AAP07: BALTEUS.

  • AAP07: BALTEUS will tend to stick at mid to long ranges since that's where its missiles are most effective. Keep an eye out for when it revs its thrusters as will begin to move toward or in the opposite direction before firing the missiles.
  • You need to approach this fight aggressively and close your distance as much as possible so you won't have to worry about the missiles as much.
  • Weapons with high Impact stat, such as Vvc-760PR Pulse Rifle and VP-60LCS Laser Cannon, can be used to deplete AAP07: BALTEUS' pulse armor easily. By dual wielding the aforementioned Pulse Rifle and Laser Cannon on both the arm slots and back slots and firing them rapidly, one can stagger AAP07: BALTEUS and inflict a heavy damage almost effortlessly.
  • During the 1st Phase, AAP07: BALTEUS will focus on landing various missile salvos at you, and will especially make use of its tri-directional and spread missile salvos. It can be quite difficult to evade these missiles due to their sheer volume when released,  so try to minimize damage by recognizing them quickly and getting into position to avoid as many as possible while also moving into range to launch your own attacks.
  • Try to use your missiles as much as possible whenever they're ready as you're moving around, and then use your plasma rifles whenever you get the opportunity.
  • Instead of doing charged shots where you'll need to release it at a perfect time, just use uncharged shots and it'll hit the boss more frequently and deal more damage over time as you're moving around.
  • Play aggressively while also staying safe. This means you deplete its pulse armor and the instant it breaks, go on full offensive. With good timing and positioning, it's possible to stagger AAP07: BALTEUS several times before it regenerates its armor.
  • Once you've depleted about 50% of its AP, Ayre will tell you through comms to get clear, this is where the 2nd Phase begins. Listen to Ayre and stay clear of AAP07: BALTEUS so you don't get caught in the explosion at the start of Phase 2. If you get caught in the explosion, your AC will instantly be overloaded.
  • The flame attacks that AAP07: BALTEUS has access to during this phase can build up an ACS Anomaly gauge if it hits you, and once it fills up, you'll have a status effect applied that will make it easier for AAP07: BALTEUS to stagger you. AAP07: BALTEUS will also have access to flame-based melee attacks and it has a deceptively long range. With this, don't be encouraged to stay close, this will mean it'll use more melee attacks as you close the distance and you'll have an easier chance dodging those attacks than the overwhelming number of missiles when you're in mid to long-range.
  • Once you've brought down its health to roughly a third left, you'll hear Ayre over the comms and she'll let you know the enemy can't take much more. This is where the 3rd Phase begins, and the only new attack it gains during this phase is the Flamethrower. If you've managed to recently deplete its pulse armor and aggressively attack it with a barrage of missiles and plasma rifle shots, it is possible to finish AAP07: BALTEUS off before you have to deal with this attack. Once you destroy AAP07: BALTEUS, the mission is completed.

 

 

AAP07: BALTEUS Attacks & Counters

Attack Description Counter
All Phases
Tri-Directional Missile Salvo Fires a salvo of missiles from its rings in two waves. The missiles themselves are not very quick, and the focus of the attack itself is volume. Assault Boost toward BALTEUS along a slightly upward diagonal trajectory to avoid most of the missiles.
Fanning Missile Salvo After boosting away from you, it can fire eight higher-impact and faster-moving missiles that have no homing capabilities. Jump and ascend above the salvo.
Horizontal Missile Salvo Locks its ring horizontally and fires two salvos of missiles in a pincer pattern with a staggered release. Jump and Quick Boost directly toward BALTEUS to avoid a large amount of these missiles.
Side-Facing Missile Salvo Faces one side of its rings toward you and unleashes a small salvo of missiles horizontally. Quick Boost away from the direction of the missiles.
Vertical Missile Salvo Locks its ring vertically and fires an overhead salvo with a delayed release. Quick Boost to either side of the salvo just before the missiles are about to hit.
Spread Missile Salvo Fires missiles from the full spread of its rings, creating a spherical pattern. This particular attack is also signaled by a unique audio cue. Create as much distance as possible to allow the missiles to begin converging and then Assault Boost diagonally toward BALTEUS once they begin impacting at your position.
Bazooka Fires a high-velocity direct explosive shot. Quick Boost to either side of the shot immediately as it fires.
Gatling Gun Drifts around your AC while firing a gatling gun. It may follow this with a shotgun blast. Quick Boost in the opposite direction that BALTEUS is drifting in.
Shotgun Fires its shotgun three times; the first two back-to-back, then a brief pause before the third. Quick Boost twice to avoid the shots then pause briefly before Quick Boosting once more.
Phase 2
Pulse Explosion This attack is unique to the beginning of Phase 2 and involves BALTEUS briefly charging up and unleashing a massive explosion. Immediately create as much distance as possible between you and BALTEUS.
Phase 2 & 3
High Vertical Missile Salvo Similar to the normal Vertical Missile Salvo but travels much higher before breaking toward you. Begin Quick Boosting laterally as soon as the missiles begin impacting your position.
Single Slash Quickly Drifts toward you and slashes at a slight downward angle. Can be done with either the L-Arm or the R-Arm. Quick Boost past BALTEUS toward the side it's not striking from.
Double Slash Continuation from the Single Slash using the opposite arm. Immediately create as mush distance as possible between you and BALTEUS.
Cross Slash Brings both blades together horizontally, where they'll remain active and drawn for a brief period of time. Jump into the air above BALTEUS, making sure to stay clear of the blades.
Uppercut Slash Uppercut swipe with either arm against your AC as a standalone hit when you're in melee range. Quick Boost past BALTEUS toward the side it's not striking from.
Spinning Slash Utilizes both blades to perform a spinning slash toward your AC, covering a tremendous amount of ground. Quick Boost away from BALTEUS as quickly as possible until the attack ceases.
Area Blast Creates an explosion that scorches a large portion of the ground in front of it. Quickly jump and hover over the explosion and lingering flames.
Attack String (4) Slashes with one of its blades, then fires a High Vertical Missile Salvo, followed by a Side-Facing Missile Salvo, and finally rushes toward you with another slash using the opposite arm. The blade slashes are the most crucial attacks to evade, so jump in the air and boost away to create as much distance as possible.
Attack String (8) Begins with firing its gatling gun, then a single slash, Spread Missile Salvo, double shotgun blast, followed by a High Vertical and a regular Vertical Missile Salvos before finishing off with a Single Slash and Spinning Slash. Prioritize creating distance on the ground to ensure you don't run out of EN prematurely, and then continuously move away from BALTEUS, putting the highest priority on evading the slashes.
Phase 3
Flamethrower Shoots flames with both arms while sweeping toward you. If you're in the air, it can aim upward, and if you're on the ground, the attack will leave residual flames. Jump into the air and hover while moving away from the flames.
