Just had a match where 1 Ebon jaguar tookout 2 Zeus attacking him frontal. 2LRm20+5ER Med Lasers. your only enemy is weapon heat... he was at 77% armor after this.

Then those 2 Zeus were just bad (or already seriously injured).

The Zeus is fantastic, the best IS assault in my opinion. I have all 4 variants, 2 for my CW drop deck and 2 I use in solo queue because they wreck face and make me money. The 9s is the star variant, 4x erll + tag, standard 320, max armor. Tag breaks ecm long enough to find the weak points and the lasers do the rest. It's tanky and can sacrifice the whole right side without causing any issues. The 6s is 2x ac/5, 4 med pulse, same engine and armor, With an ac/5 cooldown quirk and chainfire you can shoot the 150 rounds of ammo non-stop without overheating. The 4 med pulse put major damage in one spot when in brawler range. The 6t and 5s are basically the same build; 3 med pulse, 3 srm 4s and a lg pulse in the 6t, ac/10 in the 5s. Both are awesome in solo queue, the max armor keeps you going and up close you can tear apart pretty much anyone you catch.

I hate your builds, but that's a good sign. It means players are getting mileage out of a variety of builds with a given mech.

Zeus is God of Gods

That's GG ***** *****

I pack massive XLs.

I run the 9S with
3lpl
3mlas
84.4kpk gogo!

{scrubtip: LPL(LPLcooldown5)+Mlas(MlasRange5) = 340-400m alpha on the same cooldown, almost identical burntime.}


And the ® with
3erll
Gauss
76.6kph go..

Best IS assault with speed and armor complimenting medium firepower, rewards teamplay and maneuver over weapons, but requires solid aim due to packing a moderate alpha.

Not that 3erll+gauss is anything to sniff at!

I tried xls, but I get far more mileage in CW with standards. and the erll are amazing on Boreal or really any map.

I had to use STD on my Zeus for tanking, I had 100 ton allies who expected me to walk into the enemy first!

Pack a quick engine and treat it like a heavily armed Heavy Mech instead of a traditional Assault. You should do well after that.

What's every ones thoughts on it? I'm a little underwhelmed. I can't seem to find a good build for them. They feel kinda fragile

I gave mine dubbs, endo, UAC5 ALRM15, left the energy alone and have had good results using a big honkin engine.

Yikes and Clans are the OP ones? My Zeus feels like a murder machine. Just did 779 dmg, like 3k, shot up every enemy mech I saw. Just walk forward and spam the fire buttons. THen my Dire Wolf quirked armor ensured I never got beyond yellow anywhere lol. Then that CLan spread damage means nothing concentrates anywhere. My fast IS beam times ensures I am able to put my damage where I want it.

And Clans are the OP ones? yikes. Each time I take my ZEus into action, even in an ass kicking I feel like a boss. And TBRs really needed those negative quirks? Just watched dem poor TBRs get destroyed mostly effortlessly.

Even shiny new Ebon JAgs and Executioners fell to the might of the UP IS Zeus.

23/6 so far inthe things,......ofc, 12 games total, but still, 519 avg dmg......its crazy how much better I do in this thing. then my OP'd Clans
