Locusts keep your lance full to 4 when your Vindicator is under repair in early game. Not recommended for anything but early game. This one features some firepower and and is slightly survivable, but you must keep this unit moving (Sure Footing for evasion) and/or use cover (Bulwark to almost halve damage it suffers). Use that ML to harass and bring down enemy evasion. Adjustment option: Not much. Pros: More survivable than stock, 85 Alpha, no volatile ammo, no heat buildup, SO CHEAP. Cons: It's made of glass and only effective at short range, lose an arm and your damage output is down by a quarter, no JJs. This build shown using standard equipment. Using + or ++ is not recommended on a mech this lightly armored.
