[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

ADR-PRIME

Max armor, shifted slightly forward, and with a pair of cLPLs and a cMPL for backup. I'd love to add more cDHS or a cAMS, but the cTC1 seemed more important and I preferred keeping the lasers as Pulse rather than freeing up tonnage at the cost of other areas of performance.

4ASRM6

1,300 damage worth of ammo & a minimal armor shave. It's a nasty mech to have skittering around on the edges of the main line of battle.

guys, your mixing omnipods. this is a champion build.

What does this being a champion build have to do with anything related to mixing omnipods?

[Jay Leon Hart]

4 SRM6 with Artemis, 1 Flamer

- Good heat
- Lethal close ranged punch
- Can Alpha
- Flamer can be used to lockdown enemy 'mechs (BONUS - Lore!)
- Teaches ammo conservation, though carries enough for most battles
- Not too much back armour, but more than usual, to help new players

[Val_Z]

my mistake.

[SneekiBreeki]

Mmmhh, how about this?
5cMPLs

Wayyyy too much rear armour for a slowish light mech that has up to 405m optimum range. Plus I think DHS is much more valuable than TC when it comes to laser builds. Exchanged TC2 for a DHS and max armour:

- ADR-Prime - 5x cERML with 21 DHS, max armour

Here's a build that I had a lot of fun with

[Scurro]

I've always love the almost stock ERPPC build of the prime.

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...2415d4417b5edb0

A few armor shaved off head and legs. Wouldn't be significant enough for new players.

UAC20 + 3 ERSL

Was about to post this, but you beat me to it.

Frankly, there's nothing anywhere as reliable on the badder. It's cold, decent damage at good range. And has amazing DPS for a light mech.

Run mine with a T.Comp I, but a T.Comp II as mentioned would be rather overkill.

These are the most effective adders I'v tried:

Classic dual PPC (with good quirks):
ADR-PRIME (ERPPC)
I found this adder build particularly fantastic!

Mid-range fighter MPL or ERML vomit:
ADR-PRIME (ERML)
ADR-PRIME (MPL)
Both very effective mid-range fighters


Keep in mind that the stats shown in smurfy mechlab do not take quirks into account.

Smurfy link: Boom Adder - LB20-X AC (3 tons of ammo) + 3x ER Small Lasers

In-game mechlab:



Quirk list: ADR-B with set of 8 bonus:



Right hand actuator is on for the slight enlargement of the hitbox, since it's meant to be used as a shield

420 damage (+ critical damage on open components) potential from 3 tons of LB20-X AC ammo

Fair cooling performance without basic mech skills
