    I'm very surprised nobody thought about this build


    Notable quirks:
    • Total AC20 cooldown -15%
    • +10 armor on every torso
    Total -15% AC20 cooldown means it will sync up very well with MPLs.
    If you are worried about your huge side torsoes, that's were both ECM and mech geometry will come in aid.
    ECM will help you from getting locked from afar and will slightly help you to prevent being targeted close range... Most importantly, it will greatly help to cover up your push / deathball brawl attempt.
    Huge side torsoes won't be an issue if you do torso twist, because you can tank with your right side torso with little to no consequences: even with your left side torso only you will be cool enough to keep on hammering your foes with the only big downside is the speed loss, but at least you are still alive.

    So you should play this mech similarly to a marauder: alpha, shield with right side, repeat... But you also have 3xJJ and ECM to play with.

    ALT: LE340 version with no JJs and +1 DHS


    ALT: STD300 version with +1 JJ... If you are planning to shield with your right side since the start it could seem a good idea to fit a STD engine like you would with a Marauder, but cooling will be REALLY overkill whatever side you will lose, so a STD engine seems a bit too "safe" while LE early engine speed boost will come in handy in different situations (and if you lose a side, you are basically downgrading to a STD300 with -4 DHS, which is not a big issue considering also the weapons lost)


    Why Thanos? Because AC20 could kill a target in a snap (*BA-DUM-TSS*)
