The Adder atm is kind of a crappy mech to be honest. It's better than the Mist Lynx but barely. A few builds that work well:
2 Large Pulse Laser in the LT/RT followed by heat sinks
Artemis SRM4/6 boat
LB10x, 2 ERML
LRM boating, 2 lrm10s 2 lrm5s with a laser or 2
Any low heat, low facetime option. SRMs and the LPL build seem to work best for me, albeit I throw 2 ERSLs into my arms with the LPL build. Low arm armor, but that's because those are expendable lasers anyways (I have them on there because they're your only hope against IS lights).
I tried a Gauss build and it isn't worth it. You don't have enough firepower/ammo to do more than 200 damage per regular not-amazingly-perfect match.
boating lrms in decent elo? not really.
working builds:
sniping with 2 CERPPCs in the torsi, very well working CW build, also fun and good working as sniper in public queues.
2 LPL's in the torsi.
4 CSRM 6, great working build in the public queue, a bit too ammo short in CW.
in my opinion adders are still the best clanlights, they do have decent hardpoints in the torso which the others don't. And they pack some true firepower with good hardpoint locations. Kitfix is squishy, not fast and most hardpoints are at crappy height. Not even the JJ's make this better.
