    Valfader, Valfodr, Valfadir (Swedish, Icelandic) [from val choice, death + fader father] Odin in Norse mythology is often addressed as father of the Chosen or father of the Slain, i.e., Odin's warriors are those who have "died" to the demands of the personal self. These elect are also called Odin's One-harriers for they are those who "harry" or are in total command of one, their own nature. These warriors are said to feast with Odin in Valhalla by night and to re-emerge each day to do battle against the forces of darkness.



    WARNING: This is an advanced build that requires skill with heat management and quick movement. Don't use this if you are new to light mech tactics or you have just unlocked this mech. This is not a Raven-3L!

    I used a 4ML build on my DN until I had unlocked speed tweak so that my speed and maneuverability was stronger, as you will need to both move fast and get close to be effective with this build. The 2x Full Elite on this mech helps with the heat.

    I link the left arms together in chainfire, the right arms in chainfire, and my thumb button as alpha of all 4. This lets me fire one laser at a time, two lasers at a time, or 4 lasers at a time based on how bad my heat is and how hard I need to strike at that moment.

    Winter maps are manageable but desert maps are tough without patient tactics and/or coolant flush.

    Gain of 10 kph for loss of 1% efficiency...I agree with Moonsword. That said, this build is still pretty good.

    I see what you meant. Extra heat sinks in the engine means only 1 heatsink less total.

    So check this out.... I removed one heatsink, upgraded to XL 200 to bring back that heatsink within the engine, and now i'm at 36% efficiency? I just increased my speed to 142 and and gained 2% efficiency over Archwright's build. :)
