For all y'all wondering about Arc 10 + MR 8 Zep... I've done some more play with it lately, and it's gooood. May even A Coin my way to a second copy of the Arc to put on a KS with an MR 8, too. It's probably better on the Zep, but when I ran that on a KS before, it wasn't bad, per se. Just need to adjust my thinking for the KS when running it. Regardless, the extra damage will be worth it even if I don't use the second copy. That thing does some work up close.  Anyway, just wanted to share... This was a game that, even though was a loss, mostly due to the AI discrepency between Red and Blue, the Zep put in some work.

Can you kill full HP mechs during the EMP duration?
I was thinking of getting the CB10 next and doing CB10/MR8 on my KS and Zep and other 18EN mechs.

Can you kill full HP mechs during the EMP duration? I was thinking of getting the CB10 next and doing CB10/MR8 on my KS and Zep and other 18EN mechs. Usually, yes... I would choose it over the CB 10 for the Zep... but would be more likely to keep the CB 10 on the KS (I run CB 10 MR 8 on the KS that never leaves the hangar unless I am messing around with builds. It's the Go-to KS build for me when running the Zep in the hangar. If I don't run the Zep, that usually means I have both KSs in and then I tend to go MR x 2 on one of them, and CB 8 + 10 on the other. But that really is the extent of my CB 10 use... I very rarely run both of them or use it on other builds, anymore.
Whereas I have had GOOD fun with the Arc 10 on Ares, Jug, Zep, KS, even Paragon when completing the spawn 3 x task. It really does need to be paired with the MR 8 to kill during the EMP time frame (or Para burst speed time frame), for bigger HP pool targets... but it's not bad at all with TL 6, either. A clan mate swears by the RPG 6 with it on the Zep... but I have yet to decide on that one since my RPG has only just gotten to R5. |

Thanks ⓣⓡⓘⓒⓚⓨ48! I'm getting close to saving 5k A-coins, so my fingers are itching to pick something new up. I just don't know what yet. I can clone my RG16, but then not have a mech that can run it with a decent partner weapon unless I clone my Guardian - this is probably the cheapest path for me right now but has the least variety. I can pick up a CB10 and pair it with MR8 on my KS - I'm leaning in this direction right now. AT10 - based on my experiences with the AT6, still not feeling the love. Redox...hmmm....I have a suspicion that I'm going to get this.... |

Redox...hmmm....I have a suspicion that I'm going to get this.... Fair enough, I know you have been deliberating for a minute, and have been looking into the options... so I won't tell ya the same stuff you already know... but I will say that you can't judge the AT 10 by the AT 6. I'll get some video of it later, and try and post it by tomorrow... it really is worth getting in my book. More so than those other options? That's a preference so I can't say... but I will definitely say that if I had unlimited resources I, personally, would get the AT 10 over the Redox, any day. Same with the CB 10, second Guardian, and 2nd copy of RG*.
But at the same time... I get wanting to just do what you want, and if you run it with a RG and a good secondary weapon, the Redox can still pose a threat. Just have to be sneaky AF with that thing, so you don't end up swisscheesed all over the arena lol. Whatever you choose, as long as you get fun out of it... it's a win!
*Over the Redox... Not the AT 10 over them

cloning panther for a second RG is such a massive upgrade to your hangar, I'd say it's worth waiting to do this

Redox...hmmm....I have a suspicion that I'm going to get this.... Not sure if youve made your decision yet, but most of these are decent options depending on what you run. RG16 dup is the best pick imo. If you have 2 mechs that can run it, its fantastic for so many things whether you run 2 thanos builds or something else. Even quite solid on something like a ks. Carb10 and arc10 are both great for different builds. Carb10s was almost always my choice when using 18 energy mechs to pair with mr8s and is still the case. BUT arc10 has changed that specifically for zephyr. Given his playstyle, arc10/mr8 seems more desired to fit him. It makes him less flexible in the corner shooting area, but kills mechs faster close up and can kill just about anything within the emp window which is huge. Carb10/mr8 or dual mr8 cant always finish off heavier guys but the arc should. And i would assume (though i think it make be glitched) if you can hit a group of guys with it while in emp you can likely take down a couple since the mr8s also do area damage. As for redox - i think hes not worth the scratch. Dudes too expensive for how specific he is in use and play. Weakens hangers imo. I still dont see enough redeeming qualities in him to justify his use. Hoping they change that someday, but for now I would rather see you put that chunk of acoins somewhere else. Just my opinion. I know he has a big cool factor and people like him. I just dont see anything that he does that makes him of a higher value than other top tier stuff. |

I'm on the verge of ranking my RG16 and cloning it. I have more than enough A-coins for this. I think I'm gonna go this route after all. I'm this close to cloning my Guardian and having 4 24EN mechs in my hangar is just too juicy to pass up. I think I'll end up moving things around depending on the game mode. For example, I'll go with the 4 24EN mechs plus Shadow for most TDM games, and I'll likely shelve my SB12's in favour of the KS for CPC games. |
