WARNING! EXTREME SKILL REQUIRED! NOVICE PLAYERS TURN BACK NOW! I really like speed, going far faster than your enemy expects and this build does just that. Pros: -SPEED! fastest possible dragon, allows to to circle most assault mechs like a light -x2 LPL deals more damage than an AC 20 with each burst -SRM 6 adds some extra punch to your drive-bys -MGs can shred open components but also offer an effective distraction from the real danger in the other arm -good heat efficiency (you can drop some armor for another DHS if you like) -If you are able to maneuver properly and make consistent and accurate shots with the LPL (often from fully extended arms to the side) and make use of your speed and terrain you will dance through the enemy team like a giant metal death ballarena Cons: -XLE makes you vulnerable to death by side torso, however with the large nose of the dragon you are likely to get cored anyway -Chain firing your LPL hinders your drive by capability so heat can still be an issue in extended engagements, however you have plenty of speed to fall back and cool off -If you cant make consistent and accurate LPL shots while at high speed this build will fail -If you play with arm lock or are not comfortable with making side shots with your arms this build will fail -If you do not have x2 basic perks unlocked the this build will likely fail, you need every shred of maneuverability, acceleration, deceleration, range of motion and efficiency you can get Tactics: The basic concept is to scout, retreat, then counter assault much like a medium mech, using your speed for survival. When the brawling starts the goal is to open a key component of an enemy mech with your LPL and SRM6 and then shred it down with your MGs while you cool off.
