So looking at the new clan Hero Mech variants, it looks like both the TW and SC will be getting ballistic slots in the other arms. Looking forward to some dual arm mounted Ultra AC10 Daka Daka in both.

Not much excitement in the others; Summoner is still a PPC Pop Tart specific Potato, Kit Fox will be able to do some more Laser Vomit, Warhawk still has too many hard locked heat sinks etc. Dire Whale is still obsolete, Nova is meh.

Any one else have a take on the new heroes, or any builds they are excited to try?

If I still wasn't seething in rage, I'd be excited for two things. First of all, the Stormcrow was half-assedly mentioned that it was Clan Diamond Shark affiliation, so dekkels soon please? Second, 8 AC/2 Dire Wolf. Yes.

The Warhawk gets a third laser hardpoint for the left arm to go with the 3 on the right arm. So up to 7 energy with the right variant... better use for heatsinks with more lasers.

The Purifier Kit Fox gives you four high-mounted laser hardpoints in the side torsos. Very clearly superior to the C-Bill variants.

With that being said, even the power-creeped Kit Fox is still likely inferior to its medium/heavy/assault overlords.

Hey guys, remember when we all thought Clan ACs were worthless and inferior to IS ACs because of their firing of multiple slugs instead of just one? Remember that? And now because we got a 'mech that can use those ACs very well we've got people screaming for Clan AC nerfs.

No one is screaming for Clan AC nerfs. People are, however, crying for KDK-3 nerfs. Which is justified IMO. At the least KDK-3 needs to lose the +15 CT structure quirk. Give that to the Dire Whale.

I actually saw someone in-game just a few minutes ago cry about how OP clan UACs are and how much they need a nerf. Probably got opened up by a KDK-3.
