W.H.I.T.E.O.U.T

Omg he told me gay, He made me cry :c Lol

Ah yes, just flexing my progress on the flying boot one legged mech style 

Maximum Protection is now possible. I was going to myth my second cooling booster but I decided to do the protector instead since I needed resistance to protect my 2.4k HP and I already have 509/324 heat stats, so I don't think that I'm gonna be dying easily anytime soon.
... Oh, and I mythed 2 Heat Engines and a Cooling Mass Boosters since my last post here as well as acquiring my third Falcon that didn't get fooded this time.

... I'm also rank 8 now.

Finally with my dual deso.

God, I love the Immortal Blades server.

Nice ideas for energy but is it alright if I could suggest an additional weapon idea?
It's essentially a recall to the SuperNova of legacy but with changes to make it more adept to Reloaded times. It also has aspects from Bunker Shell, so in a way, it's technically like a long-range Bunker Shell.
 
Stellar Decimation
1 knockback
1 use
4-8 range
50 regen damage
50 cap damage
120 energy drain
Top weapon
 
Note: Damage, Energy Cost/Heat Generation, Resist Break, and my version of the stats are changeable in order to make the more weapon more fair if the current stats are too overpowered. For the sprite, it could potentially be a railgun-esque weapon in design that shoots beams... But also advanced in its design.  
 
 
 

New titan that's as tall as its target's shins, allowing maximum shin kicking damage per turn.

A player of culture, I see.
If only I still had my mythed Brutality from my old main account... But anyways, decent build but energy should be about 500/200 and heat should be 500/300 in order to have a good physical build.
HP is also a serious must, so around 3k HP is required if you're running physical.

The key to getting maximum damage payout per run against Octavious is to use long-range, high damage weapons (4-8 weapons and scopes) in order to take advantage of the titan's pushing nature that is normally annoying for 2-4/3-6 builds. The titan basically helps you that way rather than inconveniences you.
Alternatively, you can use one of the 4-8 advance weapons in order to use closer range weapons against Octavious, but you're gonna need 2 of them as they're 2 uses each and the titan's gonna be constantly pushing you away.
Also, items like Delerium, Iron Frenzy, and the Greedy drones are really effective against this titan as their ranges fit well with the titan's pushing nature.
Tip: If you're gonna use 2-4/3-6 builds against the titan but don't have a 4-8 advance weapon, you'll need to use rollers in order to close the distance (technically +1 space movement after the titan's double push combo if you go with full 3 movements per turn). Rolling Beats or Sparked Runners? It doesn't matter as to which of the 2 are used on the build as long as they're used at all... But Rolling Beats since more HP and HP is better in all cases against titans, especially physical variants where stats don't matter but HP does.
Extra: I made a build that's capable of camping at far ranges when fighting the physical Octavious. It isn't the best build but it'll definitely be able to attack with high damage and resist break from 8 range. 
It's a physical Octavious counter, basically.

I also made this build to show an example of a 3-6 oriented physical counter that can be used to fight physical Octavious. Again, it isn't the best since it's just an example and I used Sweetie on the build since it doesn't need backfire to fire and it's a 3-6 weapon that isn't a top weapon, allowing me to fit a Mighty Cannon and Falcon on top... But Mighty Cannon can be replaced by another Falcon at the risk of making a 7 range blindspot.

These shouldn't be taken seriously, however, since they're just there to give examples that could provide inspiration for other builds that can be made with similar format with different weapons and/or drones.
Utilities can also be used but since the titan's gonna be doing the pushing on your behalf and you got rollers to move into 3-6 range for weapons of that range, they're not as needed.

Welp, I had a bit of trouble trying to get myself to take a photo but I finally did it after somewhat forcing myself to.
And without further ado, here's the face behind the Whiteout that you've grown to love/hate.

Yep... That intro definitely fell right on its ass when I had a better idea in mind... But either way, I'm not an old person or a middle-aged man if you were thinking that I was (I'm 20, by the way, so I'm seriously not an old person).

Warning: My apologies for the text wall... I sort of got too carried away with the post once I started writing it.
 
I was mostly just reading this topic as things were being discussed and I'm honestly starting to wonder why we need to have a new energy weapon that's like a Valiant Sniper without the massive drain and 2 uses.
Sure, the new weapon could bring more diversity and a chance to shift the META a bit... But when it comes to fixing things, an energy Vandal Rage wouldn't necessarily work as intended due to the "hit or miss" nature of the situation. On one hand, an energy Vandal Rage would help energy weapons chop down energy-reliant builds that normally hunt and destroy energy builds rather easily.
... But on the other hand, the weapon could become too good and cause an imbalance where energy-reliant builds that aren't energy in element end up getting cut entirely due to being unable to compete against this new weapon and its 90 regen damage since the majority of energy-reliant builds in the high ranks have 500 energy cap and mostly around 250 to 300 regen.
Most energy builds in the high ranks can do around 175-300 energy drain per turn, so if this new weapon were to be utilized on an energy-reliant build, they would succumb to the high drain as their regen gets knocked down to 210 (from 300) because of the single 90 regen damage shot... But that's just one weapon and not dual wielded as seen with Vandal Rages on cooling hunter builds.
So wouldn't that just kill the whole point of using energy-reliant weapons in the high ranks entirely?
If using energy-reliant weapons would mean death due to the new weapon, that would mean an increase in energy-free builds as people would try to combat the energy dominance problem with something that doesn't use energy in order to compete, which kills diversity in the high ranks by a massive degree because weapons like Spartan Carnage and Hybrid Heat Cannon would become obsolete and energy-free weapons would become the only usable weapons that fare a chance against energy builds with the new weapon.
 
... But that's just my two cents. Feel free to share your opinions on the matter or correct me if I got anything wrong.
Extra Note: If Ice Daggers were dual wielded, that's 180 regen damage in the matter of 1 turn, which is legitimately half the regen of an energy build since high rank energy builds usually have 360 or so regen... That's pretty terrifying to think of since Ice Dagger would give people too much of an incentive to run regen hunters in the same way as they would with cooling hunters...
... But at least Anguish finally gets to have a solid use for once.

Despite not knowing you (@Atusiff) all that much, I figured I would wish you a happy XXth birthday in the form of a topic since you were the one who usually liked my topics despite how random they potentially became, so...
Happy XXth Birthday, Mate, and Stay Awesome!
As for everyone who doesn't know what I'm going on about, today (it's 12:07 as I'm writing this, so it's Friday in my timezone) is Atusiff's birthday... And if you don't know who they are, Atusiff's a forum goer and an obvious SM pilot like everyone else here (whether they're still in service or retired is unknown in my regard, so don't ask me about that). I honestly don't know much else about them... So... Yeah... Wish them a happy birthday the next time you come across them, yeah?

Oh, and @MasterChief, I also recognized that you like my posts and topics a lot, so I would definitely make a topic for your birthday... But I don't know when that is. Either way, here's a sideline shout out for you in case you felt overshadowed because of this topic.

Why does Terror Cry shoot lasers?

Hello, pilots, and welcome to this quick guide that I made to help newcomers with a certain issue that tends to pop up a lot when it comes to building mechs -- What drone goes with what build and what is each drone good at doing?
So, yeah, I'll go through each of the E-M/L-M  (drones below those rarities are either irrelevant or are precursors to one of the drones below) drones that are currently in the game and their current state, so the guide won't be accurate once one of the following drones gets a buff/nerf or simply gets removed.
Without further ado, let us begin...
Hurlbat (E-M)
Strengths - Low weight, low energy cost, low heat generation, easy-to-acquire, and dual stat cap damage
Weaknesses - Low damage, specific build type needed for maximum efficiency, no resistance damage, and rapid efficiency drop-off when climbing the arena ranks
Best Build - "Cap Damage" Hybrid
Void (E-M)
Strengths - Low weight, low energy cost, low heat generation, and easy-to-acquire
Weaknesses - Low damage and rapid efficiency drop-off when climbing the arena ranks
Best Build - General Early-Game Physical 
Tonto (E-M)
Strengths - High damage, high resist damage, and high rank-climbing potential
Weaknesses - Moderate weight, higher energy cost, higher heat generation, 2-4 range limit, and generally rare 
Best Build - Mid-Range Early-Game / Late-Game "Fighter" Physical
Selfish Protector (E-M)
Strengths - High damage, low energy cost, low heat generation, and high rank-climbing potential
Weaknesses - Moderate weight, low resist damage, backfire, and generally rare
Best Build - General Late-Game Physical
Selfish Guardian (L-M)
Strengths - High damage (highest damage dealing drone in the game), low energy cost, low heat generation, and maximum rank-climbing potential
Weaknesses - Heavy weight, low resist damage, backfire, and extremely rare
Best Build - General Late-Game Physical
Greedy (L-M)
Strengths - Low weight (the lightest drone in the game), high resist damage, low energy cost, and low heat generation
Weaknesses - Low damage, really demanding in terms of build type for maximum efficiency, mostly useless due to other drones possessing the ability to do as much resist break for more damage, and extremely rare
Best Build - Hell if anyone knows...
Solar Torch (L-M)
Strengths - High damage, high resist damage, and high rank climbing potential
Weaknesses - Moderate weight, higher energy cost, higher heat generation, 3-6 range limit, and extremely rare
Best Build - General 3-6 Range Based "Fighter" Physical; Dual Spartan Carnage / Dual Frantic Brute
DustMaker (L-M)
Strengths - Low weight, low energy cost, low heat generation, and cooldown + regeneration damage
Weaknesses - Low damage, specific build type needed, no resistance damage, rapid efficiency dropoff when climbing the arena ranks, and extremely rare
Best Build - "Cooldown + Regeneration Damage" Hybrid
Backstabber (L-M)
Strengths - Low energy cost, low heat generation, and is the only drone in-game to have a pull ability (1 pull per shot)
Weaknesses - Heavy weight, slightly lacking in damage, no resistance break, and extremely rare
Best Build - General "Hugger" Physical/Heat/Energy
 
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, feel free to comment... But until then, farewell for now, pilots!
