Selfish

Selfish is a Raven, craft Forocus issued by Hobby Japan and also as a bonus character in the Arena for Armored Core: Silent Line Portable. His rank is E-23.

Information[]

A veteran Raven who remained out of the public eye up until now. Willing to accept any dirty job, his peers refer to him as "The Cleaner." Known for his brutality in the Arena, his AC is equipped with untested parts provided by a certain benefactor.

AC Forocus[]

Selfish pilots the AC known as Forocus, a lightweight bipedal unit adapted for mid-to-close range combat. It is equipped with the FINGER machine gun, a multi-missile launcher, relation missile extensions and a laser blade. Unit is also equipped with an energy-based E.O. core to improve overall firepower. It uses OP-INTENSIFY and therefore it can also fire blade waves.

Strategy[]

This guy can be a rather nasty foe at close range due to his weapon configuration. His FINGER+EO weapon combination can shred opponents at close range rather quickly so it is paramount that you keep away from him and avoid his attacks. His missiles also do pose a significant threat from mid-range as well, so be sure to have good anti-missile defense. His laser blade does do some damage but it's not as damaging as the MOONLIGHT. However, it is still not advised to get in close combat with him, as his FINGER machine gun can still strip off a lot of AP despite its relative lack of ammo.

A good way of defeating Selfish would be to maintain a safe distance and fire away at him. Missiles also work against him as he doesn't have any anti-missile defense of any sort. Either way, for a lightweight AC, he's not too well-armored and he will fall to some heavy shots.

An alpha strike approach can be effective as well: if you open the fight with a successful hit from a very powerful weapon - such as a grenade launcher cannon (or two) - Selfish will be forced to practically start the fight with a severely damaged Forocus, before he can even commence his machine gun hailstorm. This way, Selfish's preference for fighting head on will be punished right away. Thus, a heavily-armored AC of your own should be able to outlast Forocus, provided that you keep pounding on it with a cannon-grade firepower - exceeding Selfish's "brutality" and essentially giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Trivia[]

The word selfish is the definition of only thinking of one's self, disregarding everyone else around them as long as it benefits themselves.

The AC name, Forocus, sounds like ferocious when spoken. Fitting for the pilot's brutality in the arena.
