Sale is on, my budget is 4750 MC.

I already own:
QKD-IV4
TBR-WAR
BNC-LM
COR-BR
WHM-IIC-BL

So... what Hero to buy and most importantly, WHY? Why should I buy what you're suggesting?

The Sleipnir is one of the best heroes in the game. You can run 2UAC10+2UAC5, 1UAC10+3UAC5, 4UAC5, 4LBX10, or 2DHG+3ERML. It's a little bit less fun in QP right now imo because having a JJ can help a lot with some of the spawns, but it is an excellent mech for FW and can still do a lot of work in QP.

Other than that the UM-K9 would probably be my top recommendation. 5MPLs on such a small and tanky mech is extremely strong and a lot of fun. The K9 is useful in basically all game modes.

There are some other good heroes like the SNS Vanguard for 2UAC10+ERPPC, or the Mean Baby (for LRMs or MRMs I think, but I just run lurms with it), or the Warhammer Black Widow for dakka, but the Sleipnir and the K9 are my top two recommendations.

EDIT: had to hide my super secret 4lbx20 build.

You come in without any explanation of your preferred playstyle or any written expectations, and want US answer the question why YOU should buy certain 'Mech?

[Gagis]

Sleipnir, Pakhet and K9 are all very good.

[Sniper09121986]

Scorch and Pay2Strike, Cipher is quite good as well, in addition to all the above. Grinner is a one-trick pony, but it is a very good trick. Ultraviolet and Purifier have unique omnipods, but only if you can make the base chassis work.

You could get a lot of is hero mechs;they are pretty cheap on sale. Rvn-h,j7r-o for lrm and srm bombing,k9 for the best light mech tank,pnt-kk has best ppc quirks in the game,com-tdk is fast and fun,pirate lct for all your stealth lols, and ansi for being spider mech doing whatever a spider mech does.

If you don't have a K-9 you should be ashamed!

I just got the Vulcan bloodlust lack week and I do not regret the decision it is quite fun to play( unlike the Romeo 5000 purchase I wish I could take that back)

[memorandum]

cataphract - ilya muromets - 3x lbx10 3x ml
roughneck - powerhouse - ac20 and srms or mrms
orion - protector - ac20, 2x srm6, 3ml
catapult - jester - lasers ftw
night gyr - jade kite - 6x uac's with ecm, erppc and gauss sniper or lrm boat

Aaaaaaaand decided.

Cyclops Sleipnir for running meta ballistic builds but having enough hardpoints for variety builds and Urbie K9 for that sweet sweet disco.

Thank you all for suggestions, I was beating my head around it, some mechs I have regular and using suggested builds on them already, some are a bit more expensive and I'd end up being able to buy only one mech so I had to pass them this time around.

If you get bored with those and want to go splat with massed SRMs, Dervish Frenzy.
