    My first post and sharing my main build. Can be built on any KFX torso, I run this on Purifier for paint job. Hang out with heavies and assaults for cover while providing ECM bubble. Harass with lasers and JJ. Play opportunistically and catch enemies off guard too busy with bigger mechs to worry about a KFX. (which will be their biggest mistake) Timing when to engage and commit is everything for this build, so keep an eye out for weakened enemies. Aim for backs, legs, and unarmored components. Firing all 3 lasers produces 50% heat so it runs a bit hot. Firing just cHLL or 2x cERML produces 25% heat. If enemy has weakened/destroyed armor and within cMG range, commit for the kill. Heavy weaponry and armor for a light makes for a fun light brawler and hit and runner against heavies and assaults but makes a bad match up with much faster lights, especially SRM based lights.

    Even though an er heavy large laser sounds cool, it’s not a thing unfortunately.

    I run almost this same build but with triple AMS(2xAMS, 1xLAMS). I drop the ECM and a bit of MG ammo to fit it all in, but the thing puts up the match score. Yes, I know match score is not the best indicator for actual performance, but it's a useful build for match score challenges and LRM/anti-missile challenges, besides just being fun to troll LRM/ATM enemies with. Having the LAMS gives me back up damage mitigation for when the opposing team is missile heavy, and I run out of AMS ammo, while not impacting the overall cooling of the build during combat(especially with the increased heat dissipation across the board as of the Oct 16th patch).

    I regularly put up 400+ damage in it, while also often shooting down many hundreds of missiles. One of my favorite ways to use the AMS is vs MRMs. Stand near a corner/hill to block opposing MRM cross fire from opponents to friendlies. I can just imagine the MRM pilots faces when their missiles appear to explode and hit target well within range, but their reticule doesn't turn red as if to confirm the hit... lol

    Ecm is like ams but better and lighter and doesn’t use ammo or heat, IMHO
