Certainly. It has some mad quirks for LPL dps, and if it can survive until the end of the match, it has some of the best late game performance due to the MG RoF quirks with that mad crit dps. The SDR-5D on the other hand has what... ECM and a PPC? Or 3x MPL? Or LL+2ML? Rather pathetic in comparison to what most other lights can bring to the table.

Hmmm...I haven't kept up to speed on spider craft. I will have to try that out.

Vindicator and Kit Fox.

Kit Fox because of it's sheer amount of chesthair. The testosteron monster of unparalleled savage brutality.
Can't beat them pecs.

Vindicator because of it's talent to make cool poses with it's cape flapping in the wind. Yes. It's the mech of choice for true heroes of justice.

^^ This guy. He gets it.

Clan Hunchback and Shadow Cats!

Or at least anything but IS Voltron mechs! Because the IS sucks donkey. Locust is cool though.

KDK-3. Nothing very close.

5K is not as scary since the rescale when it's increase in size nerfed it pretty badly. It's too easily killed now to reliably get up in one's face and put those MGs to work.

The Spider wasn't upscaled very much compared to what happened to the Firestarter, Jenner, and Wolfhound. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of ACH and SDR-5K in competitive play once the next competitive league rolls around if there aren't any other major changes in the meantime.

I don't know for sure , but I feel that it's performance is more based on the style of play that the mech uses then the quirks and the weapon combo, because you have no alpha to speak of you do it correctly by popping out frequently and taking pot shoots , too many higher alpha lights want to run in and brawl , and many quirked lights have duration reductions and energy range so they can do the same with a higher alpha but don't due to a different piloting mentality, and yes 5K's MGs are good for the endgame . but even so lately I find running a commando 1B with 3 quirked and moduled ML and and srm4 gets me even greater results - the JJ .. commandos should jump! .

Thunderbolt deserves a mention, as well.
