Since it's the only Black Knight that can sport the hefty XL385 engine, I wanted this variant to be fast and manueverable with plenty of armor and a high DPS. Here's what I came up with. I've had several successful brawls already, but I'm still evaluating the survavability of the XL in the Black Knight. I'm using the left arm mostly as a shield. Update: Added the Endo version for reference. Mirenheart is absolutely right, no reason to not spend the extra 750,000 CB. Even more deadly!
So far,the CT seems to be a black hole. I've died very few times from ST destruction. Most certainly a good XL mech. Also, if you put Endo on there, you can fit in another Double heat sink and max the armor.
True about the Endo, but I was being cheap. I already had the XL, so all I had to buy was the doubles. I had to try the max engine - just because, but I'll probably end up running something like this if I run it competetively...
5/5, I avoided this build when it was released as I just couldn't get a good rhythm going or find a build I enjoyed. The recent quirk changes (Dec. 2015) have helped improve this variant though and I really enjoy your build. I've tweaked a few things for personal preference, but overall it's a solid setup. Gotta love that XL385. 5/5 New Quirks: Additional Structure CT/LT/RT/LA/RA/LL/RL, Torso Turn Rate (Yaw) +20%, Energy Range +20%, Energy Heat Generation -10%, Laser Duration -15%. My first match today running this build, as proof of concept
