Brawler with the energy ANH variant. Arm mounts, but has 15% heat and HSL to make up for it. Decided to do single heatsinks.
Rating: 5/5

40 pin point and 27 spread around.

You don't need to buy a Bullshark Legend, we have railgun at home... ...with about half the range, half the cooldown, and double the heat. With heat skills and no cooldown improvement, you can alpha three times.

Alternate with ERLL for more range.

Gigavomit build. Have to fire left-and right side. Possible to alpha, and has some small AMS quirks.
Rating: 4.5/5

Alternative with -2ERmls and +2 Heatsinks. Found this to overall be better than the 4xerml.

ANH-1E "Alpha Energy" (3xLPL, 5xML, TC1, LE300)

invalid@example.com (Unmarten) — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 05:19:37 +0000

I tried to create a relatively cool build. The build is alpha strike capable and very durable. Don't forget to skill the survival tree, the operations tree and laser duration.

ANH-1E "My Lasers Taste Like Blueberries" (7x LL, STD300) w/ ER Alt

invalid@example.com (r00tb33r) — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 09:37:56 +0000

Because why the crap not?

Another dumb b33r idea that didn't turn out to be too bad. I figured: if the SupNova can do it, why can't the I.S.? Skill some range and heat gen/efficiency for a [cool-ish] tower of extreme laser spam!

Fire Groups:
1 – Left arm
2 – Right arm
3 – Center Torso
4 – Shake it all about, do the hokey pokey and take 5 minutes to turn your ANH around?

If you didn't think that was enough heat to manage, replace the regular LL's with ER's:

**Obligatory disclaimer to remind you not to alpha with either build.**

ANH-1E "PepE" (4x PPC, 4x MLs, STD300) +Alt

invalid@example.com (The Verge) — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 05:57:26 +0000

-SHS

-DHS

I found this to be a fun build, with either SHS or DHS. I did manage to get a 500 damage game with no skill nodes. I built it to be cheap and powerful, as I had over a dozen PPC's in storage.

Weapon groups
1. left PPC x2
2. right PPC x2
3. arm ML x2
4. all ML x4

ANH-1E "Annie The Wub Engine" (8xMPL, AMS, STD 275)

invalid@example.com (Ch_R0me) — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 15:10:28 +0000

Cheap build when you need to score some kills and wubs.

ANH-1E

28 SHS is enough for 3 full wubs, while AMS is for fending off pesky bees

ANH-1E "IS' super nova" (3xLPL, 3xLL, STD300)

IS version of TheB33f's Supernova "Delete button" (2xcHLL, 2xcLPL, NxcERML)
Fire 3xLL first, mid burn fire the remaining 3xLPL. Due to LPL slightly shorter cooldown and duration, those weapons should be decently synced up when combining some torso twist and shielding.

To be tested.

invalid@example.com (Blagg Zear) — Wed, 27 Dec 2017 07:56:00 +0000

You love WUBSTEP? Then try this out. You got a lot of Firepower for aggressive Brawling, extra Crit Chance with a TC2 and Double AMS against annoying missiles. Your Mates will love your Umbrella.

Weapon Groups:
1. 2x LPL (left Arm)
2. 2x LPL (right Arm)
3. 4x MPL

ANH-1E "Mid range" (2xHPPC, 2xLL, 2xERML, STD300)

invalid@example.com (invernomuto) — Sun, 22 Oct 2017 18:56:26 +0000

The ANH-1E in my opinion is one of the worst variants for the Annihilator.
This is the only build that I had some success with:

Split the Snub Nose PCC into two groups.

This mech runs really,REALLY hot

My fire groups with this mech are left click for left arm, right click for right arm, and 3 is everything but chainfired.

It's great if you pick your shots and run with coolshots, the ERLL is for distance poking and LPL is for hitting things that are too close to you i play this mech more of a support role than a tank since it has 8k AMS rounds
