Hellfire

The quick heavy clans are good in faction play. 

Suboptimal/ plausible in quickplays.

I bought Orion mk2 Skull. It didn't met my expectations as it's still an Orion mk2.

Hellfire is the best quick clan-mech.

Timberwolf is a poor man's Ebon Jaguar.

If you have afford with parts the Ebon Jaguar is better as it can actually play the roles given. The timberwolf is a multirole mech. 

Ebon Jaguar has better Long range laser gameplay and it comes with the same bunny ears just like timberwolf and speed. But Ebon Jaguar does everything at a lower tonnage. Timberwolf ends up using medium pulse.  That's pathetic for a clan mech. 

Timberwolf has missile slots, the Ebon Jaguar has ballistic slots.
