    This was a build I started experimenting on when the Small Pulse lasers got a buff. It's a nice build, and does a lot of damage really quick. It shreds armor and limbs. The problem is it doesn't survive well, like most Hunchbacks, and it's only really good when you unlock all the Elites on it.

    However, it works beautifully when you manage your heat, and work with your teams. Grab an assault buddy, follow him around until he starts brawling, and then get behind your enemy and eat his rear armor. most likely he'll notice how quickly he's losing his back armor, turn towards you, and get a big blast from the assault.

    You can probably get 3-4 alphas off in a row before overheating, depending on the map.




    A change for the larger engine. lacks the AMS and some armor, but goes faster.

    Basically how I am running this guy these days also, except I have no AMS. Runs really nice. Remmber if you tri-beam with the MLas up close the beam sways a bit to the left, while the hunch SPLas goes a bit to the right.

    Been running the 4P Knifeback but I like the use of the SPlas and this is a solid build too. Better heat management for sure and like any decent Hunchie pilot; don't stand still! Unlocking and mastering the Hunchie makes a huge difference.

    5/5 from me.

    A side note, if you chain the MLas you will never overheat, which would make a good constant stream of damage on some bigger targets while you aim for the weak spot with your SPLas. Also good for chasing lights.

    I hate using SPL. The range is sooooooooooooo bad! If it had 4 ML, I think I would run it, but as it stands, I don't like looking at it.

    I wrecked a dual AC/20 Jager with this build a little while ago, so I'd say that it does its job.

    My favorite 'trick' so far is to chain-fire the SPLases for DPS death by a thousand cuts. Those things cycle so fast that I can still hit with ~4 of them if I need to.
