Need help with energy mech

[BigBoi]

So, I can’t choose energy drone for my mech.

I got unreliable protector , but I don’t like it.

And , I planned to change it , to face shocker and there another problem , I got rail gun that also , I don’t wanna max it for now.

So , what should I chose?

[OKI DOKI]

Face shocker will be a loss of one turn at some point. Used to be my first drone ever in my OKI first mech.  Back then, was ok to regular. Now, the game changed a lot and won't be the best for your mech. Rail gun will be better. If you do not want to use Rail, the Electro but will be limited at distance. Having a Valiant might work or not. Energy parts are heavy reason I used F.S. and for distance. Works better divined. Right now it is about modules limitations but if you do too little farming and PVP, can be a loss.  

Look the funny videos with a Face shocker plus others and observe what can do. Videos are just for fun I just did. WOW, first play since last year.  Configuration never changed. weight affected. just see damage. 

Next drone Unreliable protector

Using Electrolite same configuration. weight affected 

Using Rail

Thanks, friend, I really enjoyed that battles.

i will use railgun.

Rail Gun goes really well with Lightning Recoiler and Last Words because it will be easy to get the drone in range, while also having a lot of Energy drain and Ele Dmg.

Face Shocker can cost you a few extra turns in battle, which could be very dangerous in long fights.

Electrolyte won't work very well with your knockback focused mech.

Unreliable Protector's backfire can cost you quite a bit of HP, which could also be dangerous in long fights.

So, Rail Gun is the best choice in my opinion.

 

Hope it helps! :]

all depend on parts available in your storage. use what is best suit for now. weight is a factor plus your limited energy and heat recourses.

Agree. Windforge is better.

Personally, (having solar torch myself) I feel railgun would be a solid choice for an energy drone. With above average damage and decent energy drain, it has a range restriction. However, that restriction confines it to the perfect combat range of 3-6 making it basically unrestricted. Long story short, I’d go with railgun.
