So our Discord group found that if you load up on nothing but Urbies and Assault mechs, the results can be amazing. By doing so you are maximizing on tonnage, and armor since Urbies are beast post armor buff.

Was doing this last year.

8 k9s with a one rac2, 4 med lasers and a lance of tonnage fillers.

We called it "Police Brutality" night.

"Urbies and Assault Mechs"... Rdundant, innit?

A light with the armor of a heavy, see the problem?

There was literally a thread a few weeks ago doing the maths and showing that no, the Urbie does not actually have the same health pool as a heavy mech. The Urbs does have high HP relative to its size, but that's not the same as literally having the same HP as a bigger robot.

Do not be a nitpicky partypooper and stop taking everything so literaly. Urbies have an fton of armor, so much so that they are like heavy mediums or light heavies.

The real question is what would happen if you take a 12 man team in all locusts?

[UnKnownPlayer]

You're about 6 months behind the meta, 2 annihilators and 2 urbies (or 2 atlas 2 urbie), mountain line pattern, paint the bottom blue and the top 2 yellow then add a giant eye and you have the famous MINION DECK!!!!!

try not to die laughing as you crush your opponents.

Honestly, im more scared of a wolfhound rush then urbies, since the wolfhounds are so fast and can carry the 5 MPL loadout which is absolutely brutal when there is come coordination going around.

That said, i totally agree that urbies are extremely strong if you know what you are doing and rush them in a full wave, the police one can bring 5 energy and still carry a ballistic, another one can boat MGs with MPLs, ect. Pretty much any build on the urbie that isnt using a STD-60 should work well (STD-60 is a joke, dont bother running it outside of trolling).

That and urbies do give you tonnage so you can run dual annis which are as of this point one of the strongest IS assaults in a general sense (you have certain niches that are beaten by others (anni cant exactly ERLL snipe), but its got so much armor and firepower that itll walk over any clan mech 1v1 is piloted and positioned right.

What about x3 machine guns, small laser and heavy ppc?

Fun and trolly, but it lacks the same cold-blooded murder machine effect of 5x MPL.

That´s why I love my 5mpl Adder

[LordNothing]

related to my lights are the new assaults thread: the urbie is no exception.

id love to see what a lance of urbies all running light gauss rifles and a pair of ermeds can do.
