40's new build?

[Fordekash]

Realizing I can't break in to rank 2 without L-M resistance modules I am looking for new builds to have fun with rank 3-5 until I get resistance modules. Using the constants of my inventory what does everyone thing about this physical/heat build? Not sure how well it will work but figure it will be a hoot 1v1 and 2v2?

If that's your goal you can .... well, basically build your best mech. Then slightly reduce the effectiveness of it

You don't need that much heat unless it's a heat counter.

And, to be honest, I think distance shredder work better than mighty cannon (in reducing distance) ...

If you have it, of course.

Realistically, I don't think you will ever use that scope -- you don't even have teleport. Maybe armor destroyer will work better in your favor.

Thanks man!  I do have a shredder and was thinking to drop some heat mods to put that on.

Had to redo on my phone and workshop is hasn’t been shown the items but I dropped the charge as it is no longer needed.

I mean this is kind of a counter, and you only have 1 range 1 weapon

I thought that he'd better get his energy up by a bit; even if he might not be encountering enregy mechs (or if he is ignoring energy mechs) he might as well have a BIT more than that

Like, say, swap cooling boost with energy boost.

He can also swap a heat engine out with a plate, unless he IS thinking about a heat counter (of which the low res offers little help)

I had thought about it, but using combo of stomp + seraphblade (or stomp + nightfall/bloodweep) is doable, consider that stomp deals decent damage and lowers res, so I didn't comment too much on that.

I feel like a single distance shredder will do enough; he don't need a mighty cannon. but if he do have one, then he might as well build a long-range phys and thus the backstabber drone is a waste.

Hugger should use a backbreaker and a sword, as always. Or mercy and annihilations. Multiple range 1-2 to be the best.

It's a conflict, because the mighty cannon's range only overlap (nightfall, bloodweep) at range 4. so if a long-range phys is desired it might as well be mighty + spartan (and/or terror cries and/or sweetie).

For a close range (not point-blank) it's fine, but then, you don't need mighty cannon. drop it and get a range 1 weapon because your drone pulls.

Yeah it’s kind of a hard one. I hate backfire weapons but replacing the drone with that high damage backfire might make sense.

 

I also hear you on the energy suggestion. Maybe I go back to the drawing board and see what else I can make work. I have a good amount of L-M items

 

I haven’t touched but feel none of them are game changing in arena, campaign or raid. Lol just burning time until that next good item.
