SHC-A "Point Taken." (2xcHLL, 1xcERML, cTC1, cECM)

5/5,

I normally stink at mediums. But I've been getting 300-600 dmg games in this thing semi-consistently. Had no idea HLL was that powerful. 5 stars from me =)

 

Thx, and here's an obligatory SS I forgot to upload to show my best score yet, as of a couple days ago:



EDIT: As another note, the new SHC-H Right Arm Omnipod makes this build run cooler, 7 on cooldown 2xHLL bursts before you hit 90+% heat (with 5 external Double Heatsinks), just shy of overheating, which is insane. Course you lose the Tracking computer, but an extra burst I think more than makes up for it.

EDIT #2: My mech has around -9% of heat generation, 10% heat dissipation, and +15% max heat capacity from skills alone, so that influenced my testing.

 

I was pretty excited to try this build out but honestly having a lot of trouble getting the play style down. I seem to end up in a lot of situations where a light is able to track me down, and this mech has a hard time dealing with lights. It's also not quite fast enough to get away from the mediums and heavies for solid hit and runs. What is the general play style for this mech?

 

I'm running this on one of my Shadow Cats, and I second that it is a very difficult build to play, but I am starting to get it down pretty well. You definitely have to be a team player and work your butt off in order to get 500-600 damage, but it is satisfying when you pull it off. I don't think it is a powerhouse mech though, I feel like those darn Cheetahs and Mist Lynx's with their oodles of hardpoints and medium laser/light LMG combo's are really tearing it up right now.

I traded the TC1 for an extra heat sink. Also, you might want to swap out the right arm for the SHC-H right arm, it has a minor HLL heat and laser duration quirk.

 

Workable fun build if played right.

Here's the build I ended up running:

I could be convinced to somehow transfer 18 points to get all the laser duration nodes, but I ended up going heavy on the sensors/consumables/agility/operations/jump trees.
