The amount of ammo here should be good enough for one match if you can conserve well. But if its still not enough for you, you can remove the SRM 6 to add moar ammo(i like the iconic missile pod look on the summoner), the srm 6 is just a back up weapon.

Also since the summoner here is squishy, don't brawl(unless if you have the advantage),Be a sneaky *******.Stick with the assaults, when the enemy mech is not looking at you, deal as much damage as you can. Since the summoner has good mobility, you can shoot and duck back into cover quickly.

6.5 tons of ammo? Seems a bit overkill to me. I tend to be able to run on half that amount for a single match. I would probably drop that down by at least two tons and place two CERMLs on the arms. (Then again, that's just me.)

That's almost stock configuration for the C variant. Might want to at least look into the C left arm. It has some UAC quirks on it. Might not be worth breaking up the Prime Omni-pod set though as well. Just making mention of it.

Yeah, but since i'm using prime invasion, this build allows me to farm c bills quickly
I prefer putting UAC 20 in my torso because i can easily shoot at enemies behind cover without fully exposing myself.

Have fun, seen as I'm about to go into work...

Depends on your playstyle, 4 CERML + UAC20 build is too hot for me. I rather put more ammo since UAC 20 is my primary damage dealer.

The Summoner builds I have enjoyed the most are 2x ERPPC/2 MGs and 4x ERML/LRM20+Artemis. 4x ERML and some combination of ballistic weapon (one UAC20, 1 Gauss, or two smaller ballistics) can also fit.

It can load torso ballistics in decently high mounts and can use JJ to get into some good firing positions, but it lacks the punch to be the first mech into a brawl. Summoner thrives on the edges of the battle as a low-priority target, and I think it benefits from being treated like a Medium instead of a Heavy.
