Thanks to a bit of advice I got in a chat, I finally beat Armored Core: For Answer's third (very evil) ending. Turns out the answer was just to do what I do best: Snipe the enemy from far away, retreat when they get close. I was buying into a few too many gimmick builds for heavy damage. (It probably didn't help that I downloaded new regulations that might have nerfed Kojima weaponry.)So anyway, I'm thinking about redoing my collection of AC schematics. The theme was inspired by the first few episodes of RahXephon: The show had a couple mechs named Allegro and Fortissimo, and I thought that was awesome, so now I name my mechs after types of songs and dances.
Aria: My usual sniper build, focused for dueling.
Nocturne: Variant on Aria that I'll make for teamwork.
Waltz: Fast, light blader.
Duet: General design, intend to find some way to make it work especially well in Co-op mode. (Anyone got the game and want to help me get all the S-Ranks?)
Overture: Heavy biped with large cannons.
Jitterbug: Going for a light "missile boat" design.
Dirge: Environmentally unfriendly Kojima Weaponry.
Static: Lightweight with rapid fire weapons.
So, anyone got suggestions for designs based on the naming theme?

I wonder if Fugue would be a viable setup... You'd need a couple distinct weapon groups that work in complementary fashions. Sadly, I can't make any real suggestions, because I don't own any consoles on which I could run the game, and this is just a throwaway comment before I get to bed, so no research right now.
If you want robots named after music, how can you not have twin robots named "Rock" and "Roll"?
Wow, that's a lot of platinum I'm looking at. (Got a lot of S-Ranks.)
On Fugue: One thing that comes to mind is missiles plus a short range weapon (shotguns, machine guns, grenades). Rationale: Sometimes the best way to dodge missiles is to charge forward and to one side.
Thanks for poosting this
