Mad Cat - More speed
Both are filthy clan mechs and should not be used, though.

The Timby had been dethroned even before the skill tree and decoupling (I mean it was probably the second best heavy), but post patch it got nerfed more than it ever deserved. The Night Gyr's ability to run double Gauss (which allows it to maintain really nice DPS even when pushed) and poptart allow it to be incredibly strong for a long range team.

And the Night Gyr is on timer, it's time of fame will go and something will replace it.

Eh, not as badly as some people need to learn to play and learn to mechlab.
Really the "Clans OP" tune is overplayed. Yes.. they are stronger at some things, especially in competitive play, but that doesn't explain the massive landslide victory they have in Tukayyid.

Does she spread damage effectively? What builds (other than 4XUAC/5) work best? Is there another mech that does her job better or that you'd recommend?

The Timberwolf is the best SRM brawler below 85 tons, does LPL/ML laser vomit well (particularly around left corners), is a middling gauss PPC poptarter/sniper, and a middling to bad dakka boat.
Both suck at being LRM boats. (Seriously, don't lrmboat in either mech).

Night Gyr is for carrying the big guns. It is the best Clan heavy at carrying two large ballistic weapons and the only Clan mech besides the Dire Wolf that can viably carry three. Same with dakka builds and massive LRM/future ATM racks. The price for that is that it is the slowest thing in the Clan touman under 90 tons.
Timber Wolf in contrast is for lots of smaller weapons. Laser boat, laser vomit, brawling loadouts. And it's fast.

It can sustain quite much fire when not being fired back, and when you are being fired back, preferrebly from close/mid range, the med pulse wlll quickly deal more damage until you dodge for cover.
I've tried poptarting at least with gauss, but the Night Gyr has a bit weak jumpjets. Suppose doable but I find other mechs easier for that.
TImber Wolf, I think it has to go long range, and in that, it can get picked off by long range mediums which are smaller, more agile and pack about as much firepower.
