Never bought a Death Knell, but the 1D is the best cbill Commando by far due to its survivability.

I've taken it very high in both Division 3 (top 20) and Division 4 (top 50) in Solaris.

DK is a solid light mech and I'll take that over all of my clan lights save my PIR. 191 games in the DK at a 2.83 kd... and now I wanna drop in some solo play..

2 versions I use are 4mpl or 1ll 3ml. (Kiteing)

Edit: for comparison pir at 173 games at a 1.81 kd.

Been trying various builds, mostly variations of a 195 light with 3xsrm2 and a med pulse, this was my first game in my XL Eng, with Lppc/Streak, no air strikes equipped, not leveled up yet (20/91). Shows it can hold it's own in a DPS race beat down. I love these streak 2's. And that light ppc came in handy for sniping at the match start.







I had one more salvo of SRM left at the end, so without airstrikes, not likely to get much more damage in a match. I might trade that light PPC for one more ton of SRM ammo and a MPL. I wasn't even sure I could use up 2 tons, and just barely did. Will need more testing for sure...

I guess y'all've noticed I like ECM, so the 2D is the obvious choice.

Switched to stealth, didn't even use it.

But switching from the L-PPC to the MPL really helped for the inevitable brawl.

If this thing had MASC it would be unstopable. And a jump jet would be nice, just one, alas.

I love the "fire and forget", rapid cycling, high dps/ton Streak 2's. I'll admit to laughing at them in the past, but in an ultralight like the commando, they really shine. Still keeping them on group fire, to reduce face time.

Two tons of ARM ammo seems adequate for now. Didn't run out on this fight.

May want to move eye armor to legs, ymmv.

25/91, no airstrikes or uav's used, this thing is a beast.
