This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.

When a guided rocket is fired, a Torg-made fire heavy weapon that creates a chain of explosions in four directions from the impact point. Radar‑guided locks onto enemies, and when it hits (or after a set time) four straight explosion chains radiate outward. A Torg‑style “sweep with explosions” area‑control ordnance.

🧩 Red text source The source is embedded not in the red text but on the “effect” side (Game8’s source collection). The unique effect name “621” is the code name of the protagonist pilot in the game ‘ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON (2023)’. In the story, the callsign “Raven” used by 621 corresponds to the weapon name Ravenfire. Being Torg‑made, “FIRES OF RUBICON” = fire‑attribute flame weapon, which matches nicely. The red text “Bok bok!” itself is the sound of a chicken (kokekokko), a Torg‑style joke. “Raven (crow) but the sound is a chicken” is a Torg‑style gag (not a direct quote from an external work (unverified)).

What kind of heavy weapon? (Beginner’s perspective)

Unique effect (mechanics)

621: From the impact point, explosions radiate outward. The radar‑guided rocket locks onto enemies, and upon impact/6 seconds later, four straight explosion chains extend in the four directions.
