Invasion GRF-E Sparky "Poptart" (2xHPPC, 3xJJ, XL300) + alts (LE280)

5/5,

1 rating

EDIT: XL300 proved to be the best compromise. LE280 alts are good, but the increased survival with a side torso loss isn't really worth it, while additional shield arm, speed and JJs proved to be the best solution.

-10% heat quirk and -5% cooldown quirk

Good poptarter: good hard point position, good speed, good survivability, good quirks, very good cooling efficiency.

ALT: LE280 version and -1 DHS

ALT: LE280 with 15 DHS has the same cooling as the XL version but better survivability, but is not really recommended due to lower jump height and JJ fuel recharge, because you need a full bar to get anywhere: 2xJJs are barely enough to get on top of most buildings or out of some valleys.

 

I just watched him play it in a match. As long as you don;t get underrun it runs fantastic.

 

From my current experience with 3xJJs, I'm afraid 2xJJs won't be enough to jump on top of most buildings or obstacles, especially those in mining and viridian bog.

I have to try in invasion maps, though.

 

UPDATE: changed title and main build to reflect my experiences. XL300 version proved to be the best solution, while LE280 versions (-1 DHS and -1 JJ) had some issues concerning speed and either cooling or jump height.
