Best mechs ever....

...for a jumping (and falling) competition

[Zolaz]

Makes you wonder about the Space Furries design team ... lets put all the weapons in the arms. Putting things in the torso is so Inner Sphere.

Fun little mech to play once in a while, but honestly don't buy it unless you REALLY want a challenge.. Think pre-quirk locust/spider, but much slower, generally less firepower and worse hardpoints + hitboxes...

Need some serious quirk love to make it even remotely good. The quirks it just got are a tiny step in the right direction but it's still firmly tier 5. 5-10% energy heat reduction doesn't even compensate for the heat problems with the XL-175, made it slightly less awful than it was before, but that's it. Not to mention buffing the side torsos instead of the bloody arms...

Oh, also, even on sale this thing is double the price of a firestarter, spider, raven or jenner and roughly 4 times the price of a locust or commando.. Any of which will vastly outperform it.

Total trap, it costs about the same to buy all 3 mechs by ordering it as clan wave II collection vs buying the MC needed, except the clan pack gives you additional stuff.

Haha, wow I didn't even think of that... 7,250 MC for all 3, on sale. 6,500 MC = $29.95... So umm, yeah sweet sale, buy this mech for MORE than it's already on sale, without the extra paint/camo/warhorn/premium time/etc... Great job marketing dept.

Not to mention the cbill bonus.

This is why I think the MC prices for non hero mechs is absurd. Especially for the Clan variants.

It would need like a 25% sale at least for any non-heavy/assault mech to even put a dent (it's still more expensive than a Death Knell).

This Mech sucks! Don't buy it, you will regret it. [redacted] That will hurt you less than playing this Mech. Don't buy it!

EDIT: Well, from wave 2 the only solid Mechs are Hellbringer and Mad Dog. The rest is a "RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND NEVER LOOK BACK" material.

Yeah, bit disappointing wave 2..

That said, getting into the Hellbringer, but LOVE the mad dogs. One of my favorite mechs - so glad its a standout from the rest..

i dont like the commando or the locust, but this one i love due to its jump capabilites. far better hit and run striker with dual srm 6.
+ many people forget that it always has a BAP.
so you still have a good jumping scout.
also you dont have to go so close with this mech than with commando's and locusts (except the large laser locust).

[The Great Unwashed]

Always having a BAP is a disadvantage because you cannot remove it... any other mech can fit a BAP by choice

wrong. ppl complain clans dont have a scout mech.

you got one. and you cant remove its scouting ability completely from it.

now scout with it.

Actually, we were complaining that we do not have a scout 'Mech which can stand up to the IS scout 'Mechs. We still do not have one.

you have it.
it can do terrific damage. it can harrass just as good. and it can jump better than a raven.
the only think it doesnt have is the epic lagshield of the spider and its results.
that is nothing to blame the myst lynx for.

first battle i had with the myst lynx was an epic 764 damage/3 kill slaughterfest.

i regularly get top damager with the ecm myst lynx.



the mech is fine. FS9 and spider are not and everyone knows it. besides, the firestarter was never a scout mech. it might be a light but scouting? nope. each myst lynx can do that better.

edit: if you EXPECT to get a fs9 on clanside.. forget it. clans had a different ideology at that point of time.

I like the Hellblau color paint in the camo pattern... we use that in BSI

A Mist Lynx runs into a Jenner. Which 'Mech wins?
