Casual La Malinche "Bread and Butter" (3xLPL, 1xAC10, TC1, LFE345)

5/5,

1 rating

I'd never normally buy this mech because it's a little obsolete, I think. Very low hard points. However, because PGI is giving away this hero during the current Cinco de Mayo event, I thought I'd make a build after seeing its amazing freaking quirks! Man--this mech really likes Large Pulse Lasers and AC10's specifically. This is a basic build that I'll use when I earn mine. It kind of feels like a mix between an Atlas and a Shadowhawk. Runs pretty cool, considering that it's firing 3LPL.

 

I’m just saying not to copy, if a build exists with the same loadout, but different engine, it’s still the same build

 

After a bit of work, I've managed to slightly improve it.

The most noticeable changes are:

• LE350 instead of LE345: slightly faster and moved one DHS from left side to engine
• Moved most of DHS from right to left side: left side is hotter and should keep most of the DHS. In case you will lose right side, you will lose 4+1 DHS instead of 4+3
• 2 tons of ammo instead of 3: with maximum ammo skills and cooldown, they are worth 54 * 1.7s = 91s worth of uninterrupted dakka, enough for those matches where nobody decides to shoot back at you
• 16 armor on head: your guard against dual gauss headshots

 

Now, the question is: Winning a free one of these, is it worth playing with those low hardpoints? Or better to sell it to buy more half-off engines?

 

I'm pretty sure you can't sell hero mechs, so you have to stuck with it.
So far it felt underwhelming, but I still have very few skill nodes: once fully skilled I'll judge how much is actually worth it.

 

I use this without the TC, drop a touch of armor on the legs, and grab a AMS with 1T of ammo.
