Dragon Slayer "Triarius" (1xAC10, 2xLL, 1xSRM6+A, 1xSRM4+A, 3xJJ, AMS, XL330)

My first post. Been a long time lurker and I felt it was time to start testing the waters. As I want to start improving on my own choices when it comes to building/enhancing Mech load outs.

This load out takes inspiration from a couple of builds around the board, including from one by the venerable Blagg Zear. (who I must thank for a few builds I’m currently having fun with) Had this build for a little while and I ended up changing the load out slightly from some of the others on here. The primary thing for me was changing the XL engine down to the stock XL330 as I’m a rather cheap so and so; and I also felt the 73 Kph I get from that engine with tweak is enough.

I toyed with adding a medium laser/pulse laser to the left arm, but in the end opted out for going with more JJ’s and Artemis on the SRMs for improved control. I use the arm as damage shield, while putting out consistent medium range damage with a powerful close range finish blow. This build has great mobility allowing it to traverse terrain with ease while maintaining a cool, constant performance.

C&C very much welcome, as I hope to post more builds on here in the near future.

EDIT:



New load out mounting AC10 over LBX10 at the cost of 1x JJ.

 

tried this already?



or this?

 

My original build was similar to that first build of yours. I had 2 MLas and 1 LLas.

The second build is very similar but I'd rather trade 5 Kph for an additional JJ and 50 points more armour. I'm not overly found of XL's in Assaults but I feel a slower STD engine wouldn't be playing to the mobility strengths that the Victor provides. I feel having 3 out of a possible 4 jump jets is also a handy plus as it means you have just that extra bit more freedom when it comes to cliffs in a few maps.

The Artemis is just a bonus really for that slight improvement to the SRM spread. Like I said I experimented with a back up MLas in the arm but found I wasn't using it very much so I decided to just do away with it and gain another spare ton.

 

16 DHS for Double LLas man!

 

I'm not finding my heat to being a problem with 14 DHS but more is always better. I'm just not a fan of skimping on the armour when it comes to XL Assaults.

Although I'm thinking of going back to the drawing board and redesigning this mech to a similar level but without the LBX10. I'm finding it a bit lacklustre. Thinking of switching it up to a regular AC10.

 

Slight update swapping out the LBX10 for an AC10 at the cost of 1 JJ. Already finding this to be a better option as the AC10's ability to put 10 damage directly to where I want is proving far more useful, especially for getting those critical destructions.
