Its the year 3052.

A plague of arctic cheetah zombie mechs is tearing the inner sphere a new reticulating ********.

Your mission should you choose to accept it: design the perfect mech to counter the intergalactic hankyu threat. Drop multiple times in game with your perfectly designed hankyu killah mech. Dispel rumors and galaxy wide panic that hankyus are unstoppable, overpowered, killing machines.

Share the wealth, post your perfect anti arctic cheetah builds in this thread so that others might replicate your success!

The most successful IS anti-light setup for me is boated pulse lasers, so TBR-5SS+9SE, BNC-3M, GHR-5P and so on. I don't feel these builds needs any introduction.

But here's a specialised build I like: TDR-9SE with NARC

Narc the AC to negate ECM and track it behind cover, then leg it with the LPLs as it peaks out.

[Cyborne Elemental]

We need a mech with a prototype cannon.

One that removes ridiculous structure quirks on impact.

Lets call it the "Anti-Crutchinator"

[MechWarrior3671771]

I'm having some success with the Griffin 2N

2 large pulse, streak 8 (2 tons ammo),
300xl (97jph), +1 heat sink
bap, ecm (for counter),
adv tgt decay, seismic, streak cooldown & range

[ScreamingSkull]

Streak Crow.

[bad arcade kitty]

yeah, sweetcrow is the great answer to everything :3

[Mcgral18]

This is pretty effective at killing them.

From the perspective of someone that plays the Cheetah a lot. Laser boating Banshees are nasty to come across. Quite a few times one has either straight up killed me, ripped half my mech apart, or forced me to run away saying nope.

Unlike Clan laserboats it's not as easy to shrug off IS laser damage if you're in their range due to the much shorter burn times.

3-second Jenner Wubshee?

They shred everything of any size, much of the time when I see one they rack up kills left and right...

That's the spirit. Don't beg for nerfs, be the Hammer.

But one must realize the additional leg internal quirk for the Arctic Cheater was totally unnecessary. Thanks to that, the Cheater has more leg hitpoints than the Firestarter while having smaller profile! Its positive quirks should be taken away since it has fast speed, good amount of hardpoints, Clan XL, JJs, and ECM already.

As for killing the Cheaters, I use AC20 combined with LPLs.

To put it into perspective, it has more Internal Structure than it does armour; when you've breached you're only half way there.


It's an overquirked Gundam, that got better quirks than both the Cute Fox and Myth Lynx (let alone the Commando)...but I still love it.

Hard not to love the little guy. I mean, just look how cute its looks are! Still needs to have its quirks nerfed though. PGI will probably do it once it hits C-Bills. Right now, it is just a crutch mech, inflating the pilot's actual skill level.
Not as bad as Closed Beta RVN-3L, but still a crutch.

[Fate 6]

Most effective build? The one that has the most lasers+gauss. It works against every mech.

classic gauss vomit (clan one) doesn work that well vs ach though because c-ml burn time is relatively long

[Milocinia]

Timberstreak all day every day.

TBR-D

Pretty good at printing c-bills in general too.

How to shot Cheetah?

Any Of These Mechs Work Just Fine.

not very good ammo distribution on scrow imo

and the med laser... but w/e... if they took your right torso you lose like all your ammo at once

I mean, there's no need to copy paste them. I just threw **** into Smurfy while eating nachos. Feel free to modify.

I dunno, as someone who thinks $30 for a "microtransaction" to purchase a digital good is ridiculous, I find it very easy to hate the little guy. It's pretty blatant, anyone who argues that this is not paying to win right now is just fooling themselves.
