EXE-P "Grand Gargoyle" (1x cLBX20, 6x cSPL)

5/5,

2 ratings

I run my GAR in a very similar way, and this mech does it just fine. You can sub it ERML if you want, but it will be HOT if you do. My tip here: find a DWF, Atlas, WHK, or KGC and HUG THEM. They draw fire, you murder things to protect them. Ammo is safe in the STs, this thing has a massive CT anyway.

 

One annoying thing tho is that the SPL would have it, and the LBX wouldn't

 

My favorite brawler Executioner. Only problem is that you have to get very close. On some maps like Mining Collective, you can use combination of Jump Jets and MASC to get around the enemy.

 

My version.
In this case I actually use ERSL instead of the beloved SPL.

 

Just pulled a 1000 club match with this baby. So - Much - Fun!

 

My thoughts were nearly the same... Except, I'd throw one c-ERLL into the high shoulder for some ranged prodding. Gotta get those assists in!



Still gives 43% heat efficiency when in close range after basics, but, the ERLL gives some effective poke out to 1200m and covers the intermediary range between 165-330 where the SPL are less effective.

Cheers.

Chatt.

 

Hmm...maybe better to use 6ML instead SL and SPL, and UAC20 instead LBX20? Thats will be hot, but in the fact its alpha=82, so it can punish any mech-bastard at battlefield. And u can use it at mid-range

 

TBH, if I were gonna do that, I'd drop it down to 4-5 ERML tops and add in DHS...UAC20 still isn't all that great IMO, and the big draw on this one is the LBX critting exposed components so well. If you do 6 ERML AND a UAC20, the heat will be just too much to deal with, and it doesn't have the tonnage to afford a ton of DHS like other clan mechs could...at best, you're looking at 31% heat efficiency (36% when mastered), and while a Cool Shot will help, you're going to need better efficiency to keep up the fire with anything that gets near you. That's why I like the SPL build...this thing is meant as a brawler with my setup, and while it has no long range ability aside from a strike, it's still proven acceptable in a lot of fights. Just requires some adjustment in play tactics, and it tends to work most games, even on maps like Alpine.

It's a personal choice, but my personal recommendation would be not to use so many ERML...it's just way too hot.

 

I love this build, although I find that 3x MPLas gets me higher damage because it has a bit more range than small or small pulses.
