The Griffon is probably my favorite mech chassis and I've been using this 1N variant exclusively since I stumbled upon on it a while back. The ranged punch is handled by an ERLLAS (advanced zoom FTW) and is backed up by a pair of medium lasers for short/mid range work. All three of the lasers can be fired together frequently without excessive overheating. The pièce de résistance is a trio of Artemis'd SRM-6s with 3 tons of ammunition, which tear damaged mechs apart. It is a pretty straightforward design as long as you can resist the urge to dive in and start spamming SRMS. Sit back in the early game and harass whatever pops up. Later in the match, start being a vulture with damaged mechs.
I like the build and run something very similar (a STD version below). Just yesterday I elited the 1N and it's sooooo good it's silly, engage a Victor and while running away I got in three laser strikes and one missile salvo thanks to the awesome torso twist ability. Gave you four stars for a impressive firepower, good speed and very nice cooling. The only issue I have is that the XL engine negates the left shield torso but it's still a very good build.
