best build imo for poking, racks up insane damage and can pick apart anything from good range, just gotta learn the heat
2 erLPL
3 erML
1 ECM
1 TC

[zooska]

Was about to post the same build as SlippnGriff.

It is so fun to play!

I asked the question in the announcement thread but it has not been answered yet. Are you allowed to use the Loyalty or Hero omin-pods in the Champion builds? I thought not but I see both of the above are on the Loyalty variant.

HBR-PRIME

This is another brawler build, designed for precision work with the cSPLs and for maximum shotgun follow-up with the cLBXX-AC. I kept one arm empty due to tonnage restrictions (lack of cES mostly) and made sure to include cECM. I maxed the armor everywhere but the empty arm and shifted the back armor forward a bunch but not as much as many meta builds would suggest, because Champion builds are more for newer players and they need a bit more wiggle room with regard to attacks coming from behind.

[SkavenDC]

Here's one of the builds I run, albeit with a slightly different armor distribution.

HBR-PRIME

2 - C-SRM 6 + A
7 - C-ER Sml Lasers
ECM
12 DHS + (25 total with chassis HS's)

Edit - I too forgot to check arm actuators.

Here's my hero build for the Hellbringer - A
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...b337e2406001643

3 med pulse , 1 Lrg pulse , 4 sml pulse , ecm , and a targeting comp MK II . It has 5 double heat sinks to cool it down. Mine is named the Blank.

UAC20+6ERSL+ECM+TC1

Yeah, it's been gimped by the recent UAC jam changes, but this thing was a beast in its day. The Loki is normally pretty fragile for a brawler, but the element of surprise, afforded by the ECM, could really level the playing field or tilt it in favor of this mech in a fight. I mean, if you burst 70 damage into someone's torso to kick off the fight, then you've got an almost insurmountable head-start.

Reference or this post is meaningless.

2 ER PPCs, 5 er small lasers.

4xERML Gauss is my go-to build for the 'bringer. Runs pretty cool, decent alpha and range.

I prefer the 5 ERML version except without efficiencies the 5 ERMLs are kinda hot.

Then in reference to my question, that you answered "No", the submitted build(s) is invalid as it is based on the Loyalty chassis. the two after that based on the Prime would be fine

HBR Prime (C)

Mid range zombie build

2 x cUAC5
4 x cERML
TC1
ECM

This was my c-bill farming machine until the Loyalty version came out. It is new player friendly with easy to understand weapon groups and synergy. It also demonstrates zombie builds that do not use the arms for weapons and drop the armor there to pay for heatsinks or ammo. Very effective for mid range poking, harassment and even short term spontaneous brawling if you torso twist after every alpha.

This is my Hellbringer prime Nicknamed Predator.

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...4c23043d3a491be

Deadly at long range and efficient in short bursts. Backup srms on chainfire to supplement brawling late match with main weapons. I've broke 1000 damage at least 3 times with this build.

Video missing srm2s but you can see it's potential. Use ERLL to guide ppcs on chainfire.
