In the video “Mirai Guardian Weapon Loadout & Combat Test (Part.2),” the host evaluates different weapon configurations for the Mirai Guardian, focusing on ballistic cannons, laser cannons, and laser repeaters, while emphasizing the importance of power management during PvE missions. The presenter shares insights on the effectiveness of each weapon type, demonstrating their performance against enemy NPCs and discussing tactics for optimal combat engagement.
In the video titled “Mirai Guardian Weapon Loadout & Combat Test (Part.2),” the host explores various weapon loadouts for the Mirai Guardian, a heavy fighter ship, focusing on its effectiveness in PvE missions like VRT and ERT. After extensive gameplay over the weekend, the presenter tests three types of weapon loadouts: ballistic cannons, laser cannons, and laser repeaters, all utilizing size five weapons. The missile loadout consists of 16 size two Rattlers, and the ship is equipped with a competition A Luma core power plant for enhanced power management during combat.
The video begins with the presenter emphasizing the importance of power management while using the Mirai Guardian. The competition A Luma core provides an additional two power segments, allowing for better distribution of power among weapons, shields, and engines. The host discusses the pros and cons of using the Luma core compared to stock military components, noting that while the Luma core has lower health, it does not significantly impact performance in combat scenarios. The focus then shifts to testing the M7A laser cannons, which require three power pips for full effectiveness.
During the combat test, the presenter engages enemy NPCs and highlights the effectiveness of the M7A laser cannons, which deliver high alpha damage and burst DPS. The host notes the varying behavior of NPC fighters, discussing tactics like dividing and conquering to manage threats effectively. The M7A cannons prove powerful, allowing for quick takedowns of enemy ships, although the host also notes the vulnerability of the Guardian’s shields compared to other heavy fighters. The presenter emphasizes the importance of managing shields and power effectively during intense combat situations.
Next, the video transitions to testing laser repeaters, specifically the Attrition 5 and GalR models. The Attrition 5 is favored due to its higher alpha damage and burst DPS, despite its higher power consumption. The host demonstrates the effectiveness of these weapons against various enemy ships, showcasing the importance of positioning and tactical maneuvers in combat. The Attrition 5’s performance is highlighted as particularly effective in PvE scenarios, reinforcing the presenter’s preference for this weapon type.
Finally, the video concludes with a test of ballistic cannons, specifically the Deadbolt 5 and A5B models. The presenter notes the differences in alpha damage, fire rate, and ammunition capacity between the two, ultimately expressing a preference for the Deadbolt 5 due to its higher damage output. The combat scenarios demonstrate the power of ballistic weapons, particularly against larger targets like the Carrick and Hercules ships. Throughout the video, the host shares insights on weapon performance, power management, and tactical approaches, providing viewers with valuable information for optimizing their loadouts in the game.
