Though I'm personally looking for builds, this could help new players i'm specifally looking for a build for the Gargoyle B but other builds like for the A and such would be nice...

i've looked at grimmechs and mechspecs but have found no good builds for either.

You're not going to find any Gargoyle builds on those sites, as they focus more on top-tier builds, and the Gargoyle... isn't.

The B is particularly hard to field. It has massive cooldown and spread quirks, but only 1 ballistic and 2 missile hardpoints... and only 20 tons to work with so you have a hard time mounting an LBX/20 on there which would capitalize on the quirks. That, strip off the Artemis, and throw on two SRM6's and you have a build that is critically short on ammo for the massive rate of fire it can sustain. And without the set-of-8 bonus, its totally not worth fielding.

Similarly, the A is quirked for PPCs and has an HSL +1 for all energy weapons... but only 20 tons to work with. And the D is nice for lasers, but you end up with the speed and firepower of a Hellbringer... minus the ECM.

The gargoyle is simply rough to build and field, which is why you don't see many of them.

seems to me they all need requirked except the D and maybe kin wolf and prime though those two could use just a slight buff but less than the others... the D is fine i think.

There is more than a dozen Gargoyle builds on Grimmechs. And they are as good as possible considering the limitations of the mech.

What builds do you have already? What sort of build are you looking for? What do you call 'a good build'?

Are you specifically looking for stock-omnipod-builds?
