With the exception of the Spyder, I think all chassis have a viable build.

Any stalker with 6 PPCs, though if they have crap aim they are just a sitting target, horrible in team fights also but the bane of my LRM boat

[TheMadPoet]

Spiders or Stalkers. One has very little firepower, but is real fast, and the other has tons of firepower, but is real slow.

[Corvus Antaka]

centurion, as big as an atlas, but half the tonnage.

[Stygian Steel]

i can;t remeber who the pilot was but last night there wasa spider armed with a erppc just wrecking my team, he went down and we won but not before he killed 3 mechs when he was the last one left alive, so it was 4v1 and ended with him vs a 6ppc stalker the stalker eventually got him but that guy had mad JJ snipe skills

[TurinAlexander]

If I can get up close, Stalkers are a pushover. They're slow, easily outmanuevered, and not too terribly hard to headshot. From a distance, where I can't hide in there blindspots, they can be tough, but up close they're pathetic.

[Tickdoff Tank]

I find that the Atlas is a pretty easy kill as long as you are in something lighter than an assault.

[80sGlamRockSensation David Bowie]

Everything, but an AC20 cat.

Them ******* hurt.

Anything with machine guns and/or flamers. Bonus points for NARC beacons (I don't think I've seen a single NARC in all of my time playing this game...).

Allied mechs

[Escef]

The mechs I fear the least are unmodded heavies and assaults. These tend to to scream "newbie" the hardest.

[Soulscour]

This is a tough question because even the smaller mechs can win by a cap. I would probably say commando anyways since I've blown so many up.

yeah sad but true.
i rarely see them do more than 100 dmg and get 1-2 assists,
except a flame at some times.

All 3 of my gauss/srm dragon variants have broken over 1000 dmg a few times. Just keep moving, and if you get beat on, circle out of sight and rejoin fight after a moment.

The Dragon. I don't know if there just aren't enough good pilots playing it, or good builds aren't well known. All I do know is that they are usually pretty easy to kill while taking minimal damage.

HA! I bet you that Valder or I would make you a believer in Dragons.

[CrunchTheRobot]

Commandos with LRMs.

[CrashieJ]

I laugh in the face of Atlai, why? because people who play them suck.

[Ryvucz]

The mech that stands still on a hill without any cover.

[Vahnn]

Spider, Cicada, Centurion, Dragon, Awesome.

These usually put a slight grin on my face as I think, "Freeeeeeeeee killllllllllll!"
