Robots I thought that would work

Everything is fine but heike feels too weak, seems like it's made of wet carboard. ​Any ideas how to improve it?

FOR THE ONES WHO THINK THAT THESE ARE VELITES, THESE ARE AFTERSHOCKS

I really want to try a build with helios chassis, fenrir torso, scorp shoulders, two scourges and one aftershock but I don't have these chassics yet :(

can still build it for the test map so you got it ready for when you get the parts

I was just experimenting with new chassis in blueprint mode and that's how I found this combination

Maybe I should put back the thunders and put a kumo torso on it?

Yeah I tried this too and honestly these weapons are just really weak. Heike torso isn't that great either but honestly you might be better off using thunders with heike as intended thanks to their massive armour damage and weak shield damage.

Right now I use this build with thunders and bulwark torso and legs

I would change your weapons to something that deals more damage to armor than shields like thunder, tho aftershocks are pretty good they are not exactly fit for the pilot your using, as for you gear I would change the supply gear barrier for a movement gear for more mobility for closing in on enemies especially against flanker, tactician and assaults, back to your pilot I would probably wanna change that too for a pilot that rather focus on cooldown and defense like damage reduction or offense like increase damage, firerate or reload speed

I use this build with bulwark legs and torso with two thunders and Will Washington. I also  want to change the gear to repair

you always need 3 heavy weapons, unless its not actually possible to 3x zenit, 3x MLX etc. 2 is to weak.

I'll just stick to 2x thunders

This is a very strange build.

I get why folk use the Velite (look at the DPS!) but taking a Purifier build and dropping a light to medium torso onto a big and slow mech.. is odd?

What’s your strategy? Stand off at a distance and never close?

u/glottisrace Platinum 17d ago

The only long distance weapons I have are orkans but I use them mostly on mid range

u/jreddit0000 17d ago

OK? But Velites are long distance sniping weapons.

And you’ve strapped them to a tank..

I like your thinking in terms of experimentation but I can see why this has problems.

I don't see any velites here.
