Debuted July 21st, been available for Cbills for a week now......

Pros?
Cons?
Best builds?
Worst builds?

I'll start off by saying, as the title suggests.... I'm underwhelmed.

Hitboxes? Mediocre. Mobility? Nothing to write home about. Hardpoints? Lackluster. Not enough of anything, and not enough tonnage to use large weapons particularly well. ERLL beam duration really hurts in this instance as this would otherwise be an ideal candidate for them.
But facetime to heat ratio, not so much. And MASC? Please don't get me started. I like it on my Executioner (just bought one...so fun! If..also less than spectacular). Such an unimpressive boost.

Pros? Looks.... fantastic. Jumps really well, especially if you do a bionic leap with MASC.

And...that's about it.

As for builds...only two I seem to do OK with are a UAC10 and 2x ERML, and an ERPPC and 2x ERML.

Worst build I've seen..and seen way too often? 2x ERPPC PoopCats. Does not pack near the heat capacity to really do this effectively. If you face opponents that press and get in your face (and you really aren't that fast to escape good light and medium hunters) you have zero volume of fire. IMO, the Nova does the 2xERPPC poptart build far, far better.

OK... enough about me. Let's hear about you?
