BATTLEGROUND: VINA PARKING
Rank 31 Battle
Grid 1 (Challenger): Ominis- AtrumCustodis
Grid 2 (Defender): Barda- uxnr/Oonga-Boonga!
The spirit of this battle resonated with what the game of Armored Core is all about: huge explosions and quick-paced, exciting contrivances. Barda did not fail to amaze with the infamous, flashy-tactics it displayed on the defending stage of Vina Parking: overboosting twice in a row to evade Ominis' grenade shower, while unleashing a powerful karasawa counterattack.
Not one to be outdone, Ominis closed in attempting a broadside on Barda. This proved to be ineffective thanks to yet another overboost on Barda's part. The strategy proved to be simple, yet very effective: use the pillars to hide, then time an overboost correctly while firing both armed weapons. It looked as though the tactic would grab another win for Oonga-Boonga's AC.
Both ACs grew more aggresive in the mid-match, causing violent earthquakes as they fired dozens upon dozens of rounds. The pillars shook violently as gravel fell from the ceiling... it looked as though the parking lot could collapse at any moment; ending the battle in a draw with both ACs buried.
But, thankfully, that did not occur. The volleys of attacks did continue, however; as Barda and Ominis duked it out with fair accuracy and precision. Barda had the AP lead by about 4000 thanks to it's initially higher starting amount.
Then, what occured was perhaps one of the biggest upsets in AC league history. Ominis demonstrated just how talented it was, running entirely out of grenade ammo and switching to dual handguns. In what was perhaps a very impressive feat, it completely outmaneuvered Barda, boosting around Vina Parking with excellent speed while bringing in the heat with stun bullets and inside napalms. Barda's hulking form simply couldnt keep up, and it lost the lead faster than the blink of an eye.
The ending was very in close, and intense. Ominis was hit with a farewell blast from Barda's karasawa, lowering AP to less than 500. Another attack would've finished it off... but with paper-thin AP Ominis stole the win.

Winner: Ominis
Credit Rewards/Comments:
- Congrats Ominis, you get 225cd for AP remaining and another 400cd in style (I thinkthis is the first time I've awarded the max). Ominis attacked using handguns with great efficency, even managing to finish off a decently armored Barda. It also showed pretty decent maneuverability in Barda's backyard, beating it on its own terrian.
- Barda gets 750cd min and 200cd in style for overboosting tactics.
