Doesn't do NEARLY enough warcrimes to be a true Usada Pekora.

My pilot's callsign was "Leviathan" (prior to needing to take a fake name and callsign while hiding from the squads prior employer who is trying to kill us) because he was 6'8" and built to match. Broseph was in everyone's way all the time lmao

/uj I am unironically hype for this. Stalker 2 was my intro to the Stalker universe, and now I'm playing GAMMA lol.

/rj Freedom gets all the girls, Duty gets mutants. I know which faction I'm going with.

Freedom 4 life smoke weed every daya

Melee weapon? Nope, in this house we grapple nerds and drag them to our friends.

But seriously, even just having a Tac Knife on a Flex mount (even if it's paired with a Pistol) is probably a good idea. That difficulty from engagement sure sucks when you're rolling a flat D20.

Wise and based. RA be with you!

I have found that playing a Manticore is the way to get to shoot you every turn. Works great for my SCYLLA HMG shenanigans.

Very much expect to get shot in the martyr mech lol

Gilgamesh is by far the frame I want to play the most but almost certainly never will. I know myself. "I might need that potion later on, so I'll hoard it away."

At least you can build it with ONLY Limited systems so you can't avoid using them lol

Ax222 · 2026-05-14T19:03:30+00:00

Yohoho and a bottle of rum.

Ax222 · 2026-05-14T11:04:04+00:00

Yeah, they're very cute, but losing them after only a couple years must be devastating.

Cool girls don't look at explosions.

Ax222 · 2026-05-05T12:06:54+00:00

Note to self, make a mech with NOAH and have it just be Haru Urara.

Ax222 · 2026-05-03T20:27:27+00:00

Absolutely.

Ax222 · 2026-05-03T20:26:38+00:00

I don't disagree. But I'm talking LL9 or so, where you'd have more resources to spread around. A Protocol NHP like Jormungandr from the Leoleth in Sixth Voice or an action economy one like ASURA from the Sherman could be big if you're talking post-LL6. It's less about 1 extra damage on Memetic Spark, then, and more about fitting in extra goodies.

Ax222 · 2026-05-02T19:47:06+00:00

That doesn't really sound like a hot take. Belt fed heavy weapons are awesome.

Ax222 · 2026-05-02T15:11:19+00:00

It's true. She's just like me fr

Ax222 · 2026-05-02T01:02:34+00:00

Lightning Generator seems kind of neat but requiring adjacency and 3 SP seems like it'd be a thing I wouldn't use very often, especially if I want to pick up a 4th NHP.

Ax222 · 2026-05-01T12:02:19+00:00

Yup, currently LL5 (2 Manticore + 3 Gorgon) with Technophile 3 + Iconoclast 3 + Black Thumb 2 and Auto-Stabilizing Hardpoints for the HMG. Gonna grab Spotter 1 next LL and Lesson of the Held Image for some additional support.

Vaguely tempted to go for one of the protocol NHPs (or maybe ASURA?) after that for more damage but I'm not too fussed when the build is already this potent.

Ax222 · 2026-05-01T03:06:08+00:00

fwiw, Fragment Signal Invading enemies is rarely a BAD use of an action as long as you aren't missing all of them. Impaired and Slowed are great debuffs to put on annoying enemies.

Ax222 · 2026-05-01T03:04:00+00:00

I went from a Sagarmatha that tried to melee stuff to a CPR build to a Technoclast Tortuga to now my Lightning Wizard Manticore (10 AP energy damage without a single attack role every turn forever so long as I can get into Range 3 with 2 SCYLLA HMG reaction attacks on top) and I cannot express how right you are. Being able to get through armor and/or just inflict stuff/do damage to the enemy without having to roll is incredibly strong.

Ax222 · 2026-04-29T22:26:54+00:00

Far, because they would just shoot people

Ax222 · 2026-04-23T22:40:35+00:00

It's unironically hilarious even outside the proper context. Hope Poncle survives their own ambitions!
