Cataphract Boss: General Encounter Tips<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Cataphract is a formidable foe that boasts heavy armor and packs a powerful punch. However, like most tanks, it harbors a vulnerability – its knees. Notably, despite its imposing size as an Armored Core, the Cataphract sports small and vulnerable legs in the middle of its body below its head. So, to gain the upper hand, you must maneuver to the front of the Cataphract’s Armored Core and relentlessly target its unprotected kneecaps. This strategic assault will cause it to stagger, opening up opportunities for substantial damage.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Cataphract can unleash devastating attacks, they are rather sluggish and can be evaded with nimble maneuvering. The Gatling guns may prove bothersome, but swift dashes can easily avoid them. Precision is the linchpin in this battle, so swiftness is an asset. An optimal recommendation for your Armored Core would be a bipedal, high-speed configuration with robust armor.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Concerning weaponry, opt for options with significant stagger potential, such as Songbirds, rocket launchers, plasma rifles, or Stun Needles. Prioritize weaponry designed for direct hits rather than downward trajectories, as the Cataphract’s Armored Core’s weak spot lies on its frontal surface rather than the top.<\/span><\/p>\n
