Gauss and lasers is definitely the way to go for a solid champion build that new players will be able to use when it is a trial mech. A couple other people have posted gauss and lasers already, but had a few issues that I have decided to correct. New players will learn to use the gauss rifle and manage heat by learning that some weapons are cooler than others.

Key points:

• 25 rounds of gauss isn't too much or too little for normal matches
  
• Lasers are placed in such a way that you can never lose too much firepower by missing an arm. One large pulse in the CT.
  
• Lower arm actuator
  
• Good back and leg armor
  
• No ghost heat

One of my favourites, the Large Pulses can easily be fired in two groups. I personally play it on my -Prime (dat C-Bill boost yo) but the champion should be built on the -C so it gives buyers an extra hardpoint to play with.

Edit: Realised I just hit the 'Max Armor' button, the front-back armor ratio will need to be tuned.

Because you can have it all...well aside from tankiness.






2LPL+2ERML=4ASRM6+TC1 = 88 damages at 35% heat efficiency.

WHK-C Gauss Vomit

This is an absolute optimum build. Regularly nets me 800-900+ damage with multiple kills.

Unfortunately its not viable as a champion because it uses mixed omnipods :/

Care to link me where it specifically says it can't have mixed omni pods?

I looked at the TBR-C(C) ingame and saw it did in fact have mixed omnipods so I'm wrong ^^ looks like you can

WHK-B

Missile Hawk!

This is my take on the Missile Hawk
WHK-B (Bad Moon)
I use LRM 15 RANGE and CDR, ADV. SENSOR RANGE, and ADV. TARGET DECAY.
using these modules makes it important to have all LRM15's and droping Artimis nets me T-Comp1 for target lock range and speed, and an extra ton of LRMs. and since the clan LRMs are streaming, I have not noticed a major difference in Artimis performance, unlike with clustering damage on IS LRMs.
I Also like the option to chain or group fire without a CDR mismatch. I put TAG right to give me even "peeking damage" with ERMLs, which also gain a tiny boost from the T-comp. all things said, most synergistic aproach, IMHO.

76 Alpha damage, 39% cooling eff., sus DPS 7.99

[Kamikaze Viking]

I'm loving the Variety of Gauss vomit builds that all look wonderfully viable.
But they are just Mini' Direwolves and too similar to the Dire Champ.


Hence I go for the Uac10 + Uac20 Build for Uniqueness and also still very noob friendly
-Skyrider-'s Build is good with 2ERML for backup. Go Vote for that.
Heres mine with ammo only. http://mwo.smurfy-ne...880eab69f860650

But Seriously - Go Vote for post #12 New players need backup lasers.

Best performing game I ever had in solo queue was in the gold Warhawk (1510 dmg). If I was to suggest a build for a champion it would certainly have to be this one. And with the changes coming up on the 16th I can only imagine the influence the T-Comps will have next patch.. excited to test that out.

WHK-PRIME: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...d6169ebf2fb8756

4K screenie of the game: https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing

I like it. here's my take.
WHK-PRIME (I) (Thunderstruk)
I some times swap in ERPPCs in pairs for lols, but generally I find this to be the best Efficiency, but it requires you to play like a surgeon. I know most people prefer the C variant, but I like my Prime.
I also Run the LPL mods on it and Gyros and Info gathering. Steady hands and sharp eyes for the surgeon.

and remember, "Warhawktimus Prime online!"
