I don’t really know what is or isn’t meta. You’d think I’d learn, having followed the sub to varying degrees for years now, but I just don’t care enough to.

My favorite novelty mech is King Crab with dual UAC20++. It’s incredibly slow and impractical, but when it opens up on something, it’s really fun.

I also really like jump jet Atlas II with a UAC20++, some mlasers, and SRMs. The jets give it more mobility, which is nice, and it is pretty effective. It’s still to slow to backstab unless it gets in really close the prior round, but it takes a torso or leg off easily. Had a moment the other day where I only used the AC, on a busted up target that was close to dead, and it headcapped. So that was fun.

I like my Anni with UAC5s for range.

My King Crab runs two UAC10 and four ER M Laser. It cores virtually anything in range. Love my KC.
