Good build concept. 20 heat sinks is the magic number for Novas right now. I would definitely go for another heat sink or two, but then you are...
20 heat sinks on a Nova and no more than two laser types? Automatically a great build! Short range lasers are the best for Novas in scouting. With...
I agree it is probably best suited to scouting. It does work in quick play if you are patient. You can also take down much larger mechs in Solaris 7...
One of the highest alpha, highest DPS knife-fighters you can make out of the Nova without incurring ghost heat. Can be made on any Nova variant, but...
I am personally not OK with it, but it sounds great! I prefer having all of the same lasers in the arms only but the arm/torso convergence time is so...
XL fragility is a major risk factor against MG lights and high alpha laser clan mechs: I've always avoided bringing Blackjacks to FP because of that....
High sustain skirmisher that is low on heat and has no ghost heat whatsoever. Ranges are pretty well synced, with both ER micro lasers and heavy...
That FP variant is a lot of speed and firepower for the tonnage! I guess the idea is you will be extremely low priority for being shot and you'll get...
Coincidentally I have a Cougar build that is ATMs plus heavy lasers and another Cougar build that is HLL plus UAC10 so I can say that these weapons...
If you can bear without the AMS and manage fewer heat sinks, you can get some absolutely absurd firepower out of this. Get ferro and your 58...
[IMG] First wave on faction defense on Grim Portico. WHM-6R 2xUAC10 4xERML AMS XL320
The build works very well, except with the current heat balance you will want to trade the TC1 for another heat sink.
Wonderful build, but it is now strictly better here on the Black Widow instead of the 6R because the 6R ballistic quirk has been removed and the BW...
A seriously fun and effective build.
I think 2 is good, will try 3 once I get ammo skills.
Having run this at XL235 as a test, it's not a lot of ammo or jets that you get for the small weight difference. Remember that the XL255 comes with...
That looks all right, but then you have to expose the whole mech around allies or corners to peek and shoot. I picked the asymmetric build so that I...
Great build. Works well as a brawler, even unskilled. I'd pass on the TC1 since it doesn't lend as much value to LB-based builds.
Nice! I want to try it. I am running XLs on all but LBX brawler Warhammers right now because the increase in survivability with light engines...
Lots of mechs have similar loadouts but very different properties - for example the Zeus is extremely tough. And it actually has way more effective...
This is what I thought I might run on this too until I looked more closely at how problematic the hardpoints are. This is similar to builds that are...
Placeholder until Smurfy is updated. I think this is as close as you can get to the WHM-6D (which has a really effective mid-range build with 3xLPL...
Placeholder until Smurfy updates. Build code: Ab;:2091|Pg|0=2pa0|HO|HO|i^|NGqa0|i^|i^rX0|F@|F@sX0|m?|HO|F@|F@th0uh0vB0w707070 Slightly asymmetric...
This is the build. Devastating or a dud depending on your team and play, but hits above its weight, like an IS version of the Arctic Cheetah E. The...
Someone told me today that the large laser combo was surprisingly good, but I’d rather have ranges and cool down synced than a higher (and hotter)...
One of the first things I built. Forgoes the HLL quirk, embraces the ballistic cooldown quirk.
Another problem is the gauss shoulder on an IS XL build but I would definitely consider it either way. The Bounty Hunter would already feel like a...
[MEDIA] For putting out-sized pressure on your team's targets. The lasers soak up the heat not generated by the main guns. You can also trade out...
This is one of those cases where having 6 hardpoints instead of 3 (for example) makes it worth using all of them. I found another mech build (Zeus...
@CarloArmato I think I would trade those omni benefits for the higher hardpoints of the E omnipods. It's like the KFX Purifier - having the high...
