— Huntress

Huntress is a mercenary MT pilot and later a Raven appearing in Armored Core 3. She is affiliated with Global Cortex and ranked E-21 in the Arena. She is partnered with Cypress in the Extra Arena and they hold the title of the sixth highest ranked team.

Biography

Huntress was a Raven who conspired with Fanfare to ambush and defeat The Raven. Setting the stage for an ambush, she chose to be The Raven's escort beneath the Magna Ruins. Along the way, they were ambushed by a group of Furyuku stealth MTs. After the skirmish, Huntress made her intentions known just as Fanfare appeared on the scene. She revealed she was an adamant supporter of The Controller and viewed all opposing groups as rebels meant to be exterminated. Along with Fanfare, the two Ravens were ultimately defeated. Her betrayal marked a very poignant moment in The Raven's journey as it showed how philosophy and ideals could dash even the longest running of friendships.

MT Rouge

A close-range MT unit equipped with a shotgun and blade. The pilot has added high-performance boosters that allow her to close on targets with ease. Her skill as a pilot compensates for the unit's poor defense rating.

AC Rouge

The AC she uses is of the same name as her starting MT and has a pink color scheme. The armament retains a laser blade but now uses a laser rifle, an orbit cannon, and an anti-missile system extension. She is quite mobile despite the AC's high energy draw parts, such as its back radar; and is quite adept at close-combat. Like her previous MT it has somewhat lacking defense stats.

Gameplay

Huntress can be hired as a consort in the following missions:

MT Rouge

AC Rouge

She acts as a mandatory escort in Investigate Magna Ruins and turns on The Raven after defeating several MTs. The Raven ends up defeating her and Fanfare.

In-Game Information

She firmly believes that once a mission has been accepted, the pilot is obliged to complete it no matter what. She hasn't been a Raven for long, but her mission success rate is perfect and she's in high demand because of this. The grateful recipient of many corporate sponsored gifts, she takes new equipment with a fervor.

Strategy

Defeating Huntress is a simple matter of applying force. Her AC can not take a large beating and she has few ways of preventing damage. Also while all of her weapons are energy and thus free of ammunition cost, they do not pack a huge punch. She can be surprisingly devastating at close range as she is capable of slashing with her energy blade very quickly. Any method of assault can bring down her AC fairly quickly but she can make a difficult target for the slower builds.
