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.

BRAWLHAWK

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






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

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.

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!"

Something like a metatimber with some streaks vs light.
