Budget LBK-H "Jet-Back" (4xcMPL, 1xcSL) + alt

5/5,

2 ratings

This mech should be played as a slow medium poker: your job is to use both JJs and your high speed to flank and backstab mechs, then disappear before they can return fire at you.

The single cERSL has similar range / cooldown / duration compared to cMPLs, that's why I've fitted it instead of a 3rd DHS (you would have lost firepower and you would have been too cool)



ALT: actually you can replace the cERSL with another cMPL, but you will be really hot if you will play aggressively (which is my play style). Try this alt only with maxed operations and nearly maxed heat generation skills.

 

This is actually a great guide of sorts. Play the first build to skill it up and get used to it then once you have Operations and Heat Gen quirks switch to the second load out. I have been running the Stormcrow with JJ's build on it as well my heatsink was even in the same torso as yours and I agree its just a tad to hot but I really cant think of anything else I wanna put on the damned thing without ripping omnipods off...

 

I am very much loving the latter build. I was running 6x MPL but that's basically just an unusable oven. I switched out one MPL for a DHL and a TC1 for those quick pick ups to target weak points and I'm having a blast.

 

I'm glad you like it. Be sure to use a JumpJet-less version if you are running with 6xcMPL: you will gain much more heat management and to be completely honest, I prefer the following build to the one in this thread.
