#165 Crab CRB-20, named "Sniper Tanky"; Status: mastered

All Crabs are laser boats and why not build a mech that is able to sniper with large laser? The height is a problem but this mech is tanky enough to compensate this disadvantage.

#166 Crab CRB-27, named "Pulse Tanky"; Status: mastered

A 50 ton mech that can carry three large pulse laser... I really need to do this. This mech also carries two Anti-Missile Systems due to the latest trend to drive LRM mechs again.

Isn't this a cute mech? It's for sure the cutest and funniest mech ingame. The funny bowl on its head remember me of a propeller beanie. This is the final straw if you try to stay serious. Nonetheless it's a dangerous and tanky mech. I love it.

#168 Mauler MAL-1R, named "Todesbote" 2.0; Status: mastered

I waited a long time for this mech. Good LRM assaults are rare and this seems to be the right chassis. It's slow but I tried to equip weaponry that doesn't need too much time to destroy an approaching enemy.

I tried to avoid the Gauss Rifle as long as I could but then I drove the trial Dire Wolf with double Gauss and I liked it. I got my Maulers and the 6xAC/2 was a huge disappointment. So I rebuilt them very early and got this double Gauss monster... it works.

#170 Mauler MAL-MX90, named "Daboku" 3.0; Status: mastered

This Mauler carried six AC/2's and that was the only reason why I was interested in this chassis. The Jagermech was able to carry this loadout too but only if you did some painful incisions. This chassis can carry six AC/2 without any compromise. But... it doesn't work on the battlefield, at least for me.

Then I rebuilt it and now... yeah, it was the best decision I've made in a long time when rebuilding a mech. More than 1k damage when I first dropped at Polar Highlands. First I'm firing all my LRM's and when the mech runs out of ammo, I'm chasing the cored enemy mechs with my machine guns. Sounds like a good idea, right? It is...

#171 Black Knight BL-6-KNT, named "Ian" 4.0; Status: mastered

Spoiler

The Black Knight seems to be a heavier Grasshopper. It's XL-friendly due to its fragile center torso. Best use is firing from second line as a supporter. The low hardpoints are annoying but it's not the main problem. It's too heavy. It would be an amazing mech with 65 tons.

First I used a five LPL build with a XL300. But it was too slow. I tried this build and it works better now.

I changed my mind on the Black Knight. I trained for it during our session with the 1st Arluna's Dragoons and it's a devastating mech with the meta build and playing it very offensive and aggressive. And it's not too heavy. The high tonnage delivers the option to use armor that makes it tanky. And you can add more heat sinks to run it cooler. It's a deadly mech. You need some training but then you will like it.

The Black Knight as pure laser chassis needs a sniper variant with ER Large Laser.

#173 Black Knight BL-6B-KNT, named "Reaper"; Status: mastered

This last Black Knight is very similar to my CW-Grasshopper (4LL, 4ML), only carrying one more Medium Laser.

I don't have the best time of my life, mastering those three variants but the reason may be the current touraments or the groups I'm matching. The idea how to drive this mech is very hard to realize right now.

#174 Wolfhound WLF-1A, named "Allard"; Status: mastered

A light mech with energy-hardpoints only needs small pulse laser, at least one variant. This one feels like an even tankier version of the meta Firestarter but without the jump jets.

#176 Wolfhound WLF-1B, named "Hunter"; Status: mastered

Another typical light laser boat but with a feature. I don't like AMS on lights. As I played light mechs before, they were not even counterproductive. They reveal my position on the map when I want to stay hidden. Additional to that, no light should be driven in the way that LRM's are a problem.
But LRM became popular again and playstyle has changed. Now it's better to stay with the team, mainly the assaults and I decided to install AMS to support my team.
