Sarna is a non-canon fan-made page that every random passerby can edit. In this case, Sarna is wrong.
The
Dasher Prime really has a pair of ER Medium lasers in its left arm and SRM-6 rack in its right arm. SRM-4 is in the right torso. The picture is correct.
The Prime is pretty similar to the SRM/LRM Locust hardpoint wise, it would probably get similar quirks (+100% missile ammo at minimum if nothing else) but less potency because of the chassis' strengths (MASC+cXL200) already at most. Also it'll be probably just be run with
2C-SRM4s instead of SRM10 like its stock configuration, as the stock version involves only having 2t cFF (38 points/ton, and 76 across an entire mech is pretty low already) armor when it could've went with the maximum armor tonnage for a 20t of 3.5t cFF which it might be able to afford with ammo quirk (the canon version has 2t of ammo) and having 2 SRM tubes less.
It could be run with 10 SRM tubes but you would have to run with 0 head armor and shave off points off from other limbs which is probably also what it would be run as.
So for a hard hitting build you could go then with
SRM10 and 2C-HML and 3t of armor (instead of the lore accurate 2t armor thanks to ammo quirk) or with C-ERMLs, or alternatively you could also run with
SRM12 with C-ERSL+C-HML.
They might also give it small laser quirks that gives them as much range/DPS as medium lasers so it can use those as lighter substitutes to afford more SRM tubes/ammo instead,.
