I got lucky and won a Harpy today. Would love to hear any build advice from some of you who have been running them. Curious about weapons, modules and pilots.

I@freeride. It’s always handy to search YT and see what the tubers say. I think Adrian likes Puncher/Pulsar.

TACTICS
Right out the gate, the only main tactical point I wanna make is I disagree with some youtuber opinions that Harpy can’t brawl. While it is not the most ideal in a prolonged point blank fight, if you build it strong and with range versatile weapons, it does quite well, due in part to the return of ability. The playstyle is actually quite similar to Nightingale in thos regard.
WEAPONS
There is actually a lot of weapon versatility. What you choose will largely be based on what your main combat emphasis is with Harpy. Some are better against tanks, some are better against Aegis, others are better at hitting hyper-mobile targets like Orochi and Fafnir.
Personally I prefer to have good accuracy during aerial assault, and find the Puncher Pulsar and Hel Skadi very accurate with range versatility
MODULES
While you could use Quantum Radar to hunt Orochi, or Shieldbreaker to hint Fafnir, I would strongly recommend building for durability, which includes utilizing Repair module and either the Nebula or Persephone ideally. I’m running Last Stand, Heavy Armor Kit, Nuke Amp, Advanced Repair.
PILOT SKILLS
Essentials: Armor Expert, Destroyer, Modules Expert, Dodger, Deft Survivor
Optional: Road Hog, Mechanic, Wonderworker. The reason I put RH in optional is I find it is already a bit quick. The reason M & W in optional, is you can easily make up for their absence with:
- Redacted Twins Legendary Pilot restores 8%hp if you return to translocator
- Repair module
- Repair oriented drones that also include significant defense chips
Here’s a good video, though it doesn’t show a couple other very strong builds, which are the Hel Skadi and Redeemer Taran.

I tried it out with the firebolts and I was left quite dissatisfied. While it was quite good being able to hit the armored Shells and Revenants as well as making Fenrirs go BOOM, I was perpetually being left vulnerable to the hyper-mobile targets. I'd go Puncher Pulsar and Hel Skadi as well. Frankly, as of now I like the Siren just a little bit better because the ability pairs well with the Hels//Snaer. |

I’ve been exploring Puncher Igniter for brawling, this thing is nasty. Gonna write up a wee guide for Harpy |
