Try to remain twisted with arms to enemy fire as much as possible. Once one arm gets scrubbed off swap to the other side. Alpha weapon systems then immediately return to 'jousting' position. This is definitely not a competitive build but is fully capable of leading a charge and still making it out intact with a few kills. For anyone wanting to jump into the brawling action after the 'Buckton SRM Fix' when it is released, this may be the build for you. Pros:Great hitboxes, shield arms, STD engine and speed come together to become one serious pain in the neck for enemies Excellent brawling damage Cons:Niche build thats only strength is tanking A little toasty when firing Pulse lasers repeatedly in a long brawl Limited to short range Group 1: LPlas Group 2: 2x Mplas Group 3: 2x SRM 6+Art UPDATE 5/29: An incoming patch will be massively buffing the weapon systems in this build. Missile spread is being reduced on SRM 6's (6.0 to 5.7), missile damage is being increased (2.0 to 2.15 per missile), and MPLas are being seriously buffed. MPLas will be receiving a reduction in heat (5.0 to 4.6) and an increase in optimal range (200 m to 220 m).
