The 7 Small laser (or ER small) and the 2 Binary lasers with smalls are also fun with this variant. The 1A1 is a good buy as each of these is pretty good and fun to play (in somewhat different ways). Big mech go zoom is usually a good time and relaxing as you said.
Yeah, the small laser boating version is also very legit albeit short ranged. Either way, like you said, the 1A1 is a good buy and just plain fun ☺️ - BrioS
i run 7 er smalls on mine with a tc mk1V 95 kph is really good i have had many 1000+ matches with it and it is really fun to play an 80 ton medium mech
It's a shame that the Gargoyle can't do what this mech does. They are not easy to kill once they are in range, and they do well on brawl maps with lots of cover.
It's already hot as it is so ER SLs give better burst but poorer sustain and this mech is about sustain. A TCom would definitely help but I was going for max heat dissipation so got a DHS instead. All these options are legit, just have to play it slightly differently. This build is just W forward and button mash. 😊 - BrioS
This is the build I run, and while I can confirm it's strengths, your range is VERY limited. The way I play it is to basically follow my lights and just help bully other lights since you are, effectively, an 80 ton light mech.
