It would work; I forgot to add the heat and energy variations of the semi energy free counterparts. I would replace bulldog with lightning cutter though.
 

Something like this; defer to player if they want L-M drone over E-M drone

Similar to the old forum, feel free to ask me anything. (I do reserve the right to not respond to some questions/give vague answers where applicable.)
Some quick FAQs I usually get:
Q: How much have you spent on SM?
A: 5 figures USD.
Q: Where do you live?
A: NY, USA.
Q: How old are you?
A: Mid 20s.
Q: Where do you work/what do you do?
A: I work in private equity for a firm on Wall Street. Private Equity is basically investing in companies, improving them, and then selling them (so basically investment banking + consulting). Feel free to learn more about it online!
Q: What's your name?
A: Sorry, I'm trying to keep my identity secret. (So that is why sometimes I may not answer some questions too clearly.)
Q: Do you have a YouTube channel?
A: Yes, you can view it here: https://www.youtube.com/c/CleverNameSM
Q: Can you give me tokens/items/accounts?
A: No.
Q: Are you a SM/TS/GG/Forum Mod/Dev/Admin?
A: No.
Q: Can you help me with builds?
A: I prefer giving build advice to Rank 1 players, as that's where I have the most experience. There should be a Build Help section on this forum; I'd recommend you go there to ask for help. I made a topic on Current Meta Builds - I always play the best build in the game.
Q: Why do you play SM/why did you spend so much?
A: SuperMechs for me is something I enjoy playing. I enjoy playing it not so much for the technical aspects, but it’s more of a nostalgic game for me as I played it when I was a bit younger and really enjoyed the game (and with nostalgia, comes happiness). I don’t remember why I quit, but when I found the game again, it’s really been great. I also really enjoy the community here, being able to be creative with builds, and having a close fight every now and then. =P 

I think Alex mentioned at one point the best sales are usually the ones with the "coolest" looking weapons. We live in a (relatively) top ranks perspective here vs. the avg SM player =P 

Well - you read the title. It's been a fantastic ride playing SuperMechs, but my time has come to leave the game. I have really enjoyed the nostalgia these past couple of years from this game, remembering the times when I played when I was younger. However, I've arrived at the point where the game is too boring and feels like work for me. Additionally, my real world responsibilities are increasing and it's time for me to do something else in my free time. 

I believe I've achieved everything that I originally had planned to, so I'm happy to announce that I can leave the game on a good note. I've really enjoyed the community here - there are some great people and I believe I can call them my friends. Not going to tag people - but you know who you are 🙂

In terms of the transition of my account, I will be giving my account to a couple of trusted people. I will not be revealing who they are, but they are respected people in the community with deep SM knowledge. 

Again, I really want to emphasize that the community has been great and has been a major reason why I haven't quit earlier. I appreciate getting to know folks and learn about their backgrounds. @Alexander & the Gato team - thank you for the privilege of keeping SuperMechs going and wishing the best for the future of the game. I also wish everyone else the best and good luck in SuperMechs and life 🙂

With many bittersweet feelings,

In this thread, I’ll post what I believe to be the best builds in the game (meta builds). Everyone is welcome to post and debate meta builds.
META = Most Effective Tactics Available (i.e. what's the best build in game to help you climb the ladder in arena and have the highest win rate). I've excluded "popular" builds that aren't really "meta." I'm defining meta as the best builds in their respective element and must at a minimum be able to achieve Rank 1 full stars (and preferably have the highest win rate possible).  The "best" builds are of my own opinion from arena testing.
Note this isn’t a build help thread. If you need build help, please go there. If you want to view older meta/top-tier builds, please go here.
I will maintain this thread for as long as I have the motivation 🙂

Yup, I'm actually taking a break from YT vids and forum for a bit. Just need to time recharge.
CleverNameSM YT channel is SM content only =P Never felt the need to upload other stuff. 
Welcome back! 🙂 And no not yet lol. Probably be a year or so, as I'm saving for the ring xD
Too many haters and people that actually want to dox me. Also, there's really no upside to it - just lots of downside lol.
Heard of him and no not me =P
Fine, thanks for asking!
People thinking COVID would be over by the year-end lol. On serious note, not sure...
