Unique look of this hero spider is the 1-tube launcher being an over-the shoulder tube.
A spider focused on scouting and team support, is sports a NARC beacon and a cockpit TAG unit for spotting, 3 module slots to enable full scouting sensor suite and 2 AMS to assist in its survivability as well as providing anti-missile protection for its team. Offensively this spider has relatively weak damage output with a small laser and 2 machine guns so it is best used for support of other mechs. Even if this mech was kitted fully for damage (no ams/narc/tag) it remains low damage compared to the other spider models. 4 jumpjets give it enough lift to utilize terrain to its benefit yet it is not as nimble a jumper as other models.
