5 Assault Mechs for Beginner | Mechwarrior Online

[@StarJudgeGaming]

The DW A Dakka build was really fun to watch all the big stream of shells. You got SOooo lucky in that clip taking all those mechs out all ready to drop in Viridian bog when your CT was already at a one touch lmao. Great fun to watch!

It's a good starting guide for new players. I thought the Hgauss Farfnir would be slightly more challenging, but the ECM and high pinpoint damage will probably balance it out. I personally never touched gauss until a year ago. It's a matter of play style and your guide offered 5 different assaults to choose from. I applaud your effort!

Thank you for watching! I wanted to introduce a special build based on my own opinion!

A very nice selection of Assault mechs, and all with Platinum (P) +30% CBills (ingame currency) bonus too! (I also have all five Platinum mechs that you have mentioned above). Good advice!! ~~Just subscribed to your channel :)

This is my personal opinion and is by no means true undisputed fact, but I want to say that I do not recommend most 100 ton assaults as they are very slow, and take map knowledge, positioning, and fast mini-map reading and reacting. I can recommend the classic Mad Cat ll - B, with 2xUltra 10's, and 2xUltra 5's, real good fire power, all on arms, a good amount of armor, decently fast, high hardpoints and aight on heat. The downside is obviously the ultra guns which can be fired twice in one cooldown, but has a chance to jam. use the skill tree to reduce jam chance. Next on my list is the BattleMaster BLR-1G, which I equip with 6 large lasers, which have to be fired in two groups of 3. All these lasers are located on the side torsos with high hardpoint location, making peeking over covers a breeze. One of the lighter assaults, meaning less armor but more speed. Due to having all lasers, heat management can be hard and if you accidentally fire all 6, you are screwed. Since you can't fire all 6, it takes quite a while to maintain the full burn of all lasers on target leaving you open to fire. This mech is quite flat with large arms, and will be a great mech to learn how to torso twist, using your arms as cover. Please look up a guide on torso twisting. I recommend picking up the skills -laser duration and heat management for this build Next is the NightStar NSR-10P with 4xRotary Auto-Cannon 2's. this 95 ton beast is the slowest of my recommendations and is a tricker mech to use, but if put in the right opportunity, the continuous firing rotaries will unleash a lot of damage very fast. With the ability to equip a Gaurdian ECM, which will make it significantly harder to lock on to, and missile, this build can be quite survivable. However, the hardpoint locations are something you must play around. Like the rest of my recommendations, they are as high as the cockpit, all these guns are very wide on its arms, so watch out of obstacles and teammates when firing. The rotaries also take a second to ramp up before firing, and can be fired for quite some time before becoming overheated and jamming, make sure to plan your bursts with cover so you aren't caught with your pants down with overheated weapons. Skills for this build would be UAC/RAC jam duration and heat management.

Some great builds there.

[@Follower_Of_The_Onions]

eh, hahaha i was wondering what happen to the old one but you made another hahaha very nice! I really do like the direwolf build big dakka!

[@battlemech]

I made it again, thank you for watching! I wanted to show more content, but I shortened it a bit because it would be too long haha

My rule with light or standard engines is that light should be default unless you have particularly good CT and head weapons. Getting into cover or peeking fast is more important than an extra weapon or two. I use 3 medium pulse and RL40s on my King Crab instead of your snub PPCs to run 350 light engine on it because the speed saved it more often than extra firepower did. IS XL never, unless you're stealth or speed demon light/medium.

[@battlemech]

Personally, there is a mech that uses the IS XL almost unconditionally. (Black knight, king crab etc.)

[@garbodude4365]

Awesome! I’ve missed your voiceovers

자막 감사합니다!

[@battlemech]

ㅎㅎ 제 주관적이지만 재밋게 봐주세요!

[@TheGantus]

Best one is the Sleipnir with 4 uac5 or 4 LB10

[@battlemech]

Sleipnir is a really nice mech. If it was a hero mech, I would definitely recommend it!

Please review GrimMechs Tier list for assaults before you post this with janky builds.

No wonder grimmech is a huge help and I agree! However, the things shown here are made with my personal opinions, so please understand the difference haha 😃
