Screenshock and Critical Desaster. Your mission: Find Weakpoints on your Target and then aim good for dealing Critical Destruction. Most times the Sidetorsos or Rears are faster to crit than the CT, so train your aimings!
Ow, don't forget to use your Agility to circle around your Enemies just to avoid critical hits yourself.

Weapon Group:

1. LBX (main Attack)
2. SSRMs (combined)
3. MLas (Backup)
4. MGs (Close Range Critseeker)

Been running this build to great effect and alot of fun, modified it a bit to this:



Mainly dropped the MLas to use both arms as shields, increased frontal armor for increased brawlieness, and running an AMS instead of the BAP for now(though both are good choices, might be going back to the BAP, or figuring out how to fit both)

This thing is a CC king and with the amount of LBX ammo you fit, you can use it early game to snipe and annoy, and I've actually had some good long range kills with it on damage mechs.

 

Here's the build ive been using, i opted for SRM4's. tons of fun with this build

 

Running something similar though a little slower and with a LLas in the arm instead of the medium. Would like to squeeze in another ton of LB10 ammo but not sure what else I'd get rid of to make room for it

 

I have the same idea,but with an AC10. Were I to put on a LB 10-X AC, I'd just add a ton of LB somewhere.

I liked this build however, the BAP really shortens the SSRM missile lock time and lets me pound on shutdown mechs. I took an atlas last night because of it.

 

Apnu, if you were to downgrade the engine and upgrade the ML to an ERLL...it's the same build I've been running. And yes, either or eats face...personally I like the extra punch over the speed, but both work well!

This is my build, and it make wonders. Based upon Blagg Zear build

Give it a try, it's very balanced.
Lacking SRM ammo, clearly, but i've learned to use them at the right time for a devastating burst with LB10X.
With 45 LB10x you have quite a fews shots to enjoy.
Once full elite it's even more nice to drive.

 

Running the OP setup with streaks and it can continuously fire everything with no overheating, on any map.

 

Had a blast running this build tonight. Thanks for sharing.

 

I cannot rate this one highly enough. I really can't. I'm running the same general principle on my BLR-1D, and it just carries over so well to a Mech that can run as fast as this one. Find open armor, proceed to melt everything in sight.

My absolute favorite Shadow Hawk. 5/5 from me.

 

I'm essentially running the ammo version of this build from the OP, except with an XL 295 and 3 JJ. I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm leading the pack in terms of scores, but this thing can hold its own as long as you keep it out of the center of attention. I usually play brawling heavies, so it takes a little getting used to, but it's astonishing just how much damage this can do once it locks on to someone. Heat has never been an issue either, except on Terra Therma, and I have my alpha strike bound to a mouse button which I use constantly. It's amazing what you can take down with this thing.

 

Pure sex on a stick!

 

Took your build and matched the armor values to Blagg's variant in the OP. Then dropped down to one JJ.


Here is what you get if you drop the engine instead of the JJ:


This keeps the XL 280 but drops shield arm armor value to 12. A bit low but you keep the engine and both jump jets.

 

Since you only have 10 tubes on the torso, why not drop your second SRM6 to and SRM4? Frees up a ton for additional ammo and doesn't reduce the "alpha" volley at all.

Also, you may want to spread your JJ's around a bit... but that's personal preference.

 

It has 10 tubes per hardpoint in the torso, so two SRM6s are ok.

 

Enjoying this build. I have similar on my 4G(F) but the addition of SSRMs on the SHD makes it so much more viable.

 

I'm running this build with an XL 280 (moar ammos and armors). Had my first 1K damage game in this mech. I found that with prodigious circling and jumping I can often 1v1 assaults in this and just whittle them down to slag. Awesome.

 

I'm running this with a xl280 and this was my 3rd drop in it...2nd drop in it I did nearly as much damage! AND HAD 6 KILLS! 5 Stars all day!

This is my version, i run this thing dry on ammo every time...This mech build is relentless. i over heated it once....on tourmaline after like killing 3 mechs in a row,riding the over heat threshold the whole time! This thing is just monstrous...my new favorite Shadowhawk build. I'm running more ammo than OP but i think it needs it and with speed tweak this thing is plenty fast enough to circle strafe the crap out of nearly anything and be the worst nightmare of nearly any solo light pilot. This thing absolutely murders spiders... odd thing though...Smurfy says this thing has 30FP rating...in game it says 40? Which is right? Either way if you see me coming in this thing ....run away. Cause the mech finally lives up to its name..."The PUG Stomper"

 

I pulled this on my 3rd run with the original build today.



This build works well across all 3 variants.

 

I made this to honor this incredible build. All credit given to Blagg Zear! Hail!
