I once made a Cicada 3M with Gauss Rifle on the mechlab, never actually tried it out though.

I'm not sure if they qualify as "troll builds", but I'm having fun with some diametrically non-meta "generalist" builds. E.g. this SHD-2D:

Target in the distance? No problem! Pound with UAC-5.
No line of fire? No problem! Fire that LRM-5.
No ammo? No problem! Fire lasers.
Both sides gone? No problem! You've got SRM's in the head.

I'm a "suspenders and a belt" type of personality, and sitting in this mech soothes my soul.

If I could, I'd install a flamer up its backside and fire that at chasing lights, and take the build to its logical conclusion.

See you out there in low-ELO PUG-land...

Okay, so....

Well it's not out yet, but maybe a 10 ER Small Pulse Laser with Ultra 20 Executioner...?

I'm sorry, I just had to... the temptation.... was too much.

Does it overheat so hard it breaks the heat scale and takes almost no damage?

Use the LB20 instead. Shotgun them to get their attention, drill a hole with lasers, and shotgun them again to finish them off.

Reviving this thread as I'm am planning to celebrate the day of our Lord Urbie, by spreading its teachings across those willing in my 'Mechbay. One of such is one of my two Loyalty Atlas S. It's mighty STD200 shall guide the children into a better future.

This is my first mock-up, but I think we can do better.

You don't need CASE because NARC ammo isn't explosive.

Better would be to remove the 4 mech limit.
Use as many as your dropship can hold, bring 12 or whatever to CW.

Favorite Troll Build ...

Well for me it is just about anything that can do a high mount/jump jets with 2 ERPPCs. After that don't have one. The reason is 2 ERPPC gives a nice range, able to be heat managed, and high enough alpha to do considerable damage. All you have to do is sit back far enough so you are not the priority, be able to get lrm cover, and then have great accuracy with the weapon.

Examples:

Stromcrow with 2 ERPPCs (one in each side torso) and then a back up medium laser in one of the arms. The high mounts lets you peek over a hill and get back down.

Nova with 2 ERPPCs (one in each arm) and then 4 MGs (two in each side torso). Pop Tart may be dead for heavy and assaults but this little mech can do it effectively still.
