Arctic Cheetah with 6 small lasers (and ECM of course) - Really dependable

Nova with 12 small lasers and 4 mg's - Gets reliable KMDD's versus anything up to Heavy size

Timber Wolf with 2 LPL and 3 ML - Vomit all the lazors (the Heavy class is the one I switch up the most though, Dual Gauss Jager and Pulse Grasshopper get driven a lot as well)

Atlas S - Accept no substitute for this brawling beast, not getting a KMDD is a rarity

[Aleski]

Kodiak 3 (2xUAC/10 + 2xUAC/5 very common build ha ha)

Timberwolf Prime (3xASRM6 + 3xMG + 4xMPL my favorite brawler heavy)

Stormcrow Prime (1xLPL + 5xML not the best choice, but i like to run it. Maybe a SRM brawler like griffin would be better)

Light : it depends. Adder Prime 5xML , Artic Cheaters 5xSPL + ECM, Anansi 1xSRM6 + 2xML + 2xMG... Oxyde, Jenner IIC Prime or Huggin should work well too.

As a terribad, my best result both for KMDD and wins is anything with SRMs...lots and lots of SRMS.

Oxide, Grif-2N, Cat-A1. All Asrm-4 builds.

Assaults, are my exception...I've been leveling Awesomes, and the PB with 3 ALRM-15s and 3 ML has been ok, also the Q with 3LPL and 4ML has been fine (great even) too.

[chucklesMuch]

Mostly picking higher tier mechs that need upskilling...

Lights
Had two cheetahs to master (6xspl)
and now have three adders to basic/elite; 2xerppc, 3xerml & 2xlrm10, 5xerml

Medium
Had three IIC hunchbacks to master; 2x lbx20, 4xuac2 & 2x erppc
(Also a 12xersl nova... just for fun). Need to choose a new medium...

Heavies
Have 2 TBR's to master... 4xsrm6a & 5/6xspl depending on variant. Thunderbolts or night gyrs next up.

Assaults
A Dakka whale 2xuac10 & 3xuac5 needed mastering... I have kdk's 1,2 & 5 to master too :/ but the dakka whale is a lot more fun!

Yeah I kinda have a theme with my builds, but if I see you I plan to get the kill and with damage being dealt I usually get a KMDD as well as a few kills. The only issue I run into is light mechs so I have two of them setup for the event because I keep running into issues.

Now I have noticed a LOT of people have been loading lrms and srms onto their mechs to get all that "splash" or not accurate damage, but what I see happening is those mechs that get hit by the lrms or srms are still surviving at the end of the match because people are not focusing where they shoot. And/Or it is because their weapons lrms and srms do not have the best pin point ability that lasers do.

Stock trebuchet for all 4

[Mawai]

I'm probably going to get slammed for this ... but in the current event my KMDD drop deck is the following:

Medium: SCR 4 ERML, TAG, CAP, 3 C-ALRM15
Heavy: MAD-5D 4 MPL, TAG, BAP, 3 ALRM15
Assault: STK-5M 4 ML, TAG, BAP, 3 ALRM15

Modules are radar derp, advanced target decay and as many LRM15 weapon modules as allowed.

I can usually get at least 1 KMDD in each category (M, H, A) within 3 to 6 matches. I usually make the score requirement in the first match. I'm in tier 3 so experiences may vary.

How you get a WLF-2 to have that much fire power?

Like this - armour values not 100% accurate

I figure as much after playing in smurfy yesterday. I personally do an 1xERLL, 4xSPL on my WLF-1. I figure I take advantage of the fastest speed to re-position and the 10% energy range. I guess I forgot to take into account that my engine is 3 tons heavier than yours.

[xWiredx]

My current deck of choice is:

KDK-3: 2x UAC10, 2x UAC5
NTG-B: 4x UAC5
HBK-IIC: 2x UAC10, 2x ERML
MLX-B: ERPCC

KMDDs are relatively easy with this deck, as are solo kills, and 2000dmg is a breeze even when on a team full of extremely capable players where competing for doing damage and getting kills happens a lot.

Medium - Nova (12 ERSL)
Heavy - (don't play heavies)

[Tarl Cabot]

Leveling up mechs. With at least an hour delay, people are playing a weight class longer.

Right now Wolfhound, Highlander IIs/non-3 Kodiaks, marauders/warhammers (yes, they are not leveled up). Meds Stormcrows.

[ExplicitContent]

ADR- 5MPL
SCAT- 2ERPPC (bc i love it and picking on kodiaks)
WHM-BW- 4xAC5 s with some SL
CP-10-Q- 7xSRM4 3xML There are better alpha options, but i love the recycle rate and the speed

[CheeseThief]

Commando 2D, Medium laser, 3 SRM4's and ECM or Raven 3L, 3 Medium lasers, SRM6, NARC, ECM.

Whatever medium takes my fancy, Crabs, Griffins, Hunchbacks, all are good.

Trying to level my Black Knights for the heavy, crying every step of the way.

Cyclops CP-10-Q, 3 LL, 2 LRM10+A, 4 SRM4+A. Omnomnom frankenbuilds, one of the joys of being a low tier.
