There is perhaps no harder boss fight in all of Armored Core 6 than the one against CEL 240 at the end of Chapter 4. CEL is unlike anything you have faced previously, as it combines speed and power in a way that is unrivaled on Rubicon. As such, you need the absolute best build to take down CEL 240, or else you will spend hours and hours attempting the fight to no avail.

Of course, even with the best build, you will likely still restart the fight over and over due to how strong CEL 240 is. To help with that, I will outline the strategy that I used to take CEL down and give you the exact build I created to put the strategy into action.

First, I will list every part by name so you can copy it directly. You likely won’t have all of these parts in your Garage when you go to fight CEL 240, so you will need to restart the Reach the Coral Convergence mission with the new build in place. Then, you can use the build against CEL after getting through the first part of the mission.

Here is the exact parts list I used to beat CEL 240:

Unit

Frame

Inner

Expansion

Using this exact build, here are my strategies for using it in the best way possible to defeat CEL 240. You can read my previous guide to see a more in-depth analysis of CEL 240’s attacks as well.

This boss fight will likely take you many attempts, so try not to get frustrated with CEL. The fight is meant to be difficult, but there is no better feeling in Armored Core 6 than when you finally take down CEL 240.
