PROS: 1 high mounted PPC (maybe the only one you can ever mount on any Black Knight) With maxed skills you can actually alfa strike without shutting down (if you see the back of a mech, you can insta-pop it) Medium lasers are more versatile than Small Lasers as a backup weapon Excelent PPC cooldown quirk (you can literally rain PPCs with the help of a PPC cooldown module) Can snipe most of the time, but it can fend off closing-in lights or have a chance to survive in a brawl or close range engagement. CONS: This build is hot as f***, especially if you manage to get some PPC ghost heat. XL engine means you must pay attention to vomit lasers or pint point damage. Torso twisting, tanking, poking and trading must be done properly to survive. Low mounted PPCs on your arm (like every other black knight...) Did I already say it can become extremely hot? Tips and Tricks: Group your weapons properly, e.g.: 1xPPC (side torso, high mounted) 2xPPC (arm) 6xML 1xPPC (arm) Your ideal engagement is anywhere between 400 and 600 meters: under the optimal for your PPCs and enough far away to mitigate as much as you can the incoming damage. Both following your comrades AND trying to engage at this distance is your best bet. Poke with your right side, aim and shoot for the weak spot and shield with the left. User your medium lasers ONLY when your target is in your optimal range, otherwise you are just heating up yourselves: PPCs are more heat-efficent if your target is further away than 270 meters (or 300 with range module), have a way better cooldown and finally Med Lasers doesn't have perfect pin-point damage. Recommended weapon modules: PPC range, PPC cooldown, ML range Recommended consumables: Coolant Flush 9, UAV (or air strike) I've managed to be the MVP in many matches and even a 800 damage round in caustic valley: it's not easy to use or get used to, but it can hit very hard if used properly.
