Have been running this Firebrand lately and it kinda feels like easy mode. Runs fairly cool, has a good alpha and speed is great for an IS heavy at 83KPH. With the structure buffs the XL feels viable. Have had multiple 1000+ dmg rounds and it is pretty easy to get to the 600-800 dmg range with regularity.

I play this similar to the way I run an EBJ. Try not to facetank or be the focus of all of the enemies weapons. This is my favorite hero now due to the aforementioned build and its ability to add a couple ballistics if that is your style. I know I probably see less of them due to it being an MC mech, but I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for their next hero.

This build is my Go-To for Cbill grinding as I can routinely pull 350K a round in the solo queue.

Pretty good concept. I like the general idea. Here's an asymmetric version. Corner peek right side, use the left to take as much damage as possible before it weakens. Alpha strike when the opportunity presents itself.

Also I don't like skimping on armor. Armor is cheap, so invest the 0.5 ton or so to protect the components that store your main weapons.

Because for the same price, you can essentially do the same on a chassis, that's tankier, has better quirks and hardpoints for it, while being able to use an STD doing so.

The best hero mech in the game currently, imo.
