    I love how Champion mechs are not special enough to earn that extra 50,000 Cbills.

    You buy a champion mech because its prefit or you want to level it fast, not for c-bills.

    Yeah, this is gonna be awesome. If you run Heros (or whatever other "special" mech you prefer to run) the whole time, you can get an extra 12 Million C-Bills . . . that is NOT all that shabby! :greedy: :greedy: :greedy: :greedy: :greedy: :greedy:

    And that's not counting the 2 Million from qualifying CW drops, which I probably won't get myself; but for those brave enough to try, that makes for a total 14 Million bonus C-Bills this weekend . . . :thumbsup:

    I'm super excited about this one...I just wish I had my Grasshoppers unlocked so I could use the Resistance one for the special unlock. The only "hero" heavies I have right now are my Summoner Prime, and the DRG-Flame, which I don't like :( I can move my splatboat build over to the Summoner though, and use it. Should be easy.

    The nice thing about spending way too much money on this game is that I have a lot of mechs that qualify for that bonus...I have a hero/hero-like mech in every weight class. Guess that means it's time to break Ember back out, bitches!!! Pirate's Bane too for Lights...hell, even my MLX-Prime, which somehow brings in TONS of cash. Medium, either Nova Prime (Soy's Binary build) or Grid Iron...maybe even my X5 for some nostalgia. Assaults I can run DWF or GAR Prime, or Misery. Time to get all the CB I'll need to equip the final round of Resistance mechs...

    Best part is, this is like the stocking stuffers. No weird way to qualify, you just play and play normally, and let the cash roll in. Can't argue with that.

    I have light and heavy heroes, oxide and firebrand, I was thinking about getting pirate bane with the sale since I have 1500ish spare MCs, but what would be a good 3rd locust? (because 1E is obvious).

    I still need medium and assault hero, for mediums the only candidare is the SHD(don't want to spend many, and I only have SHD, and wolvies as IS med mechs) and I don't like it that much, for assaults I have stalkers, and misery is excellent, but very expensive.

    @fx8230 --- Misery certainly IS excellent. If you think you'll like it, I am sure you will, because it really is a great 'Mech.

    I've also been thinking I could buy a Hero or two. I'm considering Locusts, partly because they're so cheap, and also because I'm interested to see if I can break that 1000 damage mark. ;) :thumbsup:
    I'm also considering Griffin, Shadowhawk, and Banshee (even though I've always hated the hardpoint locations on Le Malinche, though I love the Chassis). But I don't know. All the Heros I know I want, I have, and the ones I don't have, I'm not so sure I want. :mellow: :wacky:

    PS: Does anyone know if the Battlemaster Hero is any good? I've been wondering, as I'm also considering purchasing a few 'Mechs in that Chassis.

    @Falconium - I got my Pirates Bane from the free mc events, been accumulating it for 6 months since the Halloween event. It's a nice mech, tiny and moving at 170 kph with ECM makes for a great scout. The flanking and spying abilities are excellent since you are so hard to see. :)

    Sounds promising . . . :)

    For a mere 900 MC, how could I go wrong? :D

    Light: PB or TDK.
    Medium: WVR-6R (P).
    Heavy: TBR Prime (I) or HBR Prime.
    Assault: DWF Prime (G).
    CW: usual as capped at 2m

    Easy 100 matches hopefully.....

    So how is the match score calculated now?
    Probably good to get some cbills, for refitting those resistance mech (need a few mils for DHS alone).

    For some reason the sucky mechs are also the extremely cool looking mech.
    Hellslinger, and Pretty Baby.

    @Falconium : Griffin Hero / Sparky is awesome in my view. Go for it! Gray Death seem to suck, though.

    I would not say Grey Death suck, it is just that it does not offer anything different from cbills variant.
    It is just like any other cbills variant with slightly different hardpoints, and a better paintjob.

    As for the true champion[C] mech, all the ones I have are GREAT deals, as in they cost ZERO MC, being free gift mechs from events. Otherwise I would not advise buying a true champion[C] mech.
