So I need another set of clan mechs and I really like the hellbringer. As a result I was thinking of grabbing it via the a la carte option. I know that this option does not come with the set of premium time but do the mechs in the a la carte purchase have a cbill boost and what is that boost percentage?

Thanks,
S

Only the prime gets the 30% boost, the two other variants are normal mechs.

Ok, so the prime in the a la carte gets a 30% cbill boost similar to other heroes.

Thanks.

Seems the prime is technically a champion so only a 30% exp boost which is basically pointless. Oh well.

No, you get the CBill bonus with the Clan prime variants when purchased a la carte or as a full pack. I get it everytime I play my Loki Prime.

I would wait for a few months to buy them with C-Bills.

Thank goodness, I was a little bummed.

All the Invasion (I) variants get a C-Bill boost, not XP. even though they are labeled as "Champion" mechs in mech lab. Similar issue with the customer appreciation mechs (Cent, Atlas, King Crab) and I believe the Grid Iron Hero is still mis-labeled as a champion for some reason - but they all have the C-Bill boost not XP.

Only the Grid Iron Limited Edition is mislabeled. (It's the one that came with the Cheerleader cockpit item and, as the name implies, was only available for a limited time.) The regular Grid Iron is correctly labeled as a Hero in the mechlab. But yeah, they still get the C-Bills rather than the XP. Even the Founders and Phoenix mechs are labeled as Champions. Hero is for Hero mechs, Champion is for anything special that isn't a Hero mech. (Still not sure why the Grid Iron LE is there, though. Probably a limitation with the old UI that wasn't addressed with UI 2.0.)
