It can support armor higher than many medium mechs, and is very fast. Use the ML to wear down target Evasion while you close for melee. This mech shines in melee, so assign it to a Mechwarrior with a high Piloting skill for best results.



Alternates: Move that ML from the center torso to an arm for increased accuracy or to allow room for a Gyro. Drop one HS to add 2 more JJ for amazing mobility at the cost of Heat management. Add a Rangefinder to the head!

Pros: Highly survivable for its class, Melee DMG + SL burst wrecks larger mechs, especially from behind.
Cons: Only effective in Melee, Alpha strike can only be used at very short range (125 dmg)

This build shown using standard equipment. Using + or ++ will greatly increase damage potential, but is recommended on torso hardpoints first.
