Good Myst Lynx Builds?

I spent quite a bit of time grinding in CW to get that Stormcrow so I could sell it (since I already have a stormcrow)
In total, I had around 11mill c-bills.
I decided to spend it on the Myst Lynx and an engine for another mech.
In any case, I'm now stuck with a Myst Lynx. I need build ideas.
So far:
1x ER Large
1x ER Small
ECM
OR
3x Small Pulse
1x ER small
The ER small, while it might sound silly, is the only way to use additional tonnage left over if I strip just a couple points of armor, so I tend to add it in if I can.
Any build Ideas would be lovely!

So I'm assuming you have the PRIME config. You have two choices: a snipey ECM mech that will do maybe 100-200 damage per win or a laser vomit mech that will do up to 350 damage per win. ECM will help your teammates while netting exactly 0 extra C-Bills per match. Damage = money.
I'd go with a 2 ERLL 2 ERSL or ERML vomit build. Good luck on your purchase, the Mist Lynx is the worst Mech I've ever piloted, and I own over 100 mechs so believe me when I say that I have experience with "unpopular" mechs. Mist Lynx takes the cake.

I too own zounds of mechs, and I can't say the Mist Lynx is the worst mech I've ever piloted... but on the other hand, I can't think of any worse at the moment either. I'm sure one must have been, though. Sure of it. I mean, the mist lynx has ECM!
I used MLX-PRIME to some "success" (for a Mist Lynx) and found it worlds more fun to play than the more technically effective but horrifically boring and still ultimately useless laser vomit builds (one LPL + ecm, 2 erLL w/o ecm, etc)

You sir haven't seen what I can do with my Mosin Nagant!
I has some decent games using 3 er-slas and some srm4's
But I just can't get enough of the prime with mg's and lrm5's, when I do get a kill it's an event!
I did just get the A variant, so I'm going to work on 2 erslas, 2 mg, 2 ams build

Furthermore its a bannable offense to stack mechs on top of each other so the ecm-turret-on-top-of-a-whale is a big NO-NO
2x MPL + 2x SPL
or
2x MPL + ECM
or
LPL + ECM
or
ERPPC + ECM
For anklebiting :
4xSPL + TC1(iirc) + CAP(iirc)

Which is about the best thing you can say about any Mist Lynx build.
I really like SRM MLX's. They're at least fun.

Thanks. I'm leveling the 2nd and 3rd now. I gotta say, they're way better than I thought. Still bad, but way better than I thought.

All mist lynxes have CAP, because reasons.

Your statement indicates you are not competent with the MLX. I've already made statements in defence of this mech in other threads. So I will not bother here other than to say the Mist Lynx is not a great mech, but its not bad either.

I also use 2erml and 2mpl but its quite a hot build
but yes in CW erppc/ecm is the way to go, use those wonderful jumpjets to find a few perches and scout/poke at things. I have done plenty of 700+ damage CW matches with my lynx before even moving on to my 2nd mech.

ECM + ERPPC: You can play it as a solo sniper but best way to play it (IMO) is as an assault support, you cover with ECM the assaults of your team while you poptart, makes for a good W/L ratio mech in PUGland.
4xSPL: The stunt, you may think the mech is too slow to go into brawling range but your speed is only relevant if you get shot at, jump over cover and use the repeater scalpel precision of small pulse lasers on a foe's back just until it seams to turn to face you then just jump into some other's opponent's back to do the same, if you are precise you will get kills but even if you fail at that you will prevent the enemy team from pushing together, since I embraced the 4xspl build over the 4xERML my average damage per round has doubled, peaking at a 1280 damage round...
