Got bored and decided to see what the bigest max alphas I could do with IS only mechs being only concerned with a one-shot-one-kill-one-time-use builds. Death from ghost heat, IS xl st death, and shutting down for the rest of the match ignored. One alpha one kill. Most can alpha 100. A few a mere 70-90. 110-150 for the biggest booms.

In no order and just as I built them

1. AS7-S215

2. AWS-8Qghosted

3.BLR-3S100

4. STK-3F160

5.ZEU-5S78

6.HGN-733a130

7. KNOCKOUTa115

8.BNC-3S85a

9.KGC-0000a110

How about this?

Archer-5W can do a 350 point rocket launcher alpha

[Grus]

And just think, clan is having a PTS for clan reduced damage for a 94 pnt alpha.

[Aidan Crenshaw]

You should try that Archer build. On paper it ooks nice, but it doesn't get his whole alpha out before splodin'. In fact you cant down the atlas on testing grounds trough the back with a full alpha.

thats funny. I'm gonna build one just to try that specifically.

non pin point alphas? what's the point

not to mention no hs

STK-3F160

Replace the 2 st wirh srm6, replace XL with lfe 250. Add either 2lpl or 2 snppc with 4mel laz. Youll need to svave a little armor off of the head and legs but it will be around 145ish. Add 1 ton of srm ammo and 1/2 ton of mrm and you have a"viable" setup.

[BrunoSSace]

None of these builds are practical in any way.

[Tetatae Squawkins]

Garbage build high alpha =/= pinpoint usable alpha

[Agent1190]

What's the best playable Gauss/Energy or all-Energy IS mech build that's NOT ridiculous? Can anything be built close to the Hellbringer energy-vomit builds or EBJ builds?

Best I could get was a 60 point alpha Warhammer with 3 LPL 6 ERML with LFE280. Good heat (and no Ghost heat), but speed isn't even close to clanners.

[Novakaine]

There you go.

Are you serious? These IS builds are joke builds. Meanwhile 2xCGauss+2xHLL+4CERML DS build is very much functional.

[Apache1990]

There's always my founders Atlas:
https://mech.nav-alp...#f95d0fd4_AS7-D

4x MLAS, 2x MRM30, 1x AC20
100 damage, can alpha twice before needing to cool down, and actually has a reasonable (though not high) ammo load.

[Shadowomega1]

Well here is this 92 pinpoint alpha.

Absolutely terrible spread, with utterly crap sustain, on a chassis with slower speed than a Direwolf? You are doing the Clan side of the argument a disservice, and shame.

6cERML and 2 gauss is "functional" not that hot *** hell build you just mentioned

It is still far more sustainable build compared to all IS ones in this thread, on a mech that runs 63 kph. Mine is not a joke build, unlike yours.

Cooling efficiency of 40%, and 400 meter minimum optimal range. No IS mech with huge pinpoint alpha can beat that. DEATHSTRIKE

Meanwhile there is a 235 pinpoint alpha Gigadrill Direwhale joke build running around. https://mwo.smurfy-n...c73738cfaff7f48
