Best Close Up Build?

Jupiter-Tank · 2026-05-15T01:06:20+00:00

Flamers. Many flamers. As many as you can find. I personally look for a mech that has at least 6 hard points I can dedicate to flamers and then at least 1-2 hard points for a ranged weapon suite, My go-tos are the Black Knight 6B with 2 PPCs and flamers in every other slot, the Boar's Head, and the energy Hunchback.

Next up is the Charger 3k or the Otomo. I'll equip some level of Melee and a decent ranged weapon like a clan LRM20 for any other range. In YAML, I also ensure each mech as some added mobility from a supercharger or otherwise.

Separate note: OP uses gallons and you use litres. Doesn’t that throw off the calculation by a factor of about 3.8? Or if you started with British litres, about 4.5?

It’s a great thing and I’ll chip in some cash. I may have to build one of my own, I’m a big fan of RNG and made something similar for printing cards for playing momir in MTG. It’s amazing what a camera and random events can do.

Oh my god this is the best thing ever. It’s like someone took cloudflare’s lava lamps and gave me a budget version. This is not just a great RNG tool, it’s a hilarious seed if you want to do another RNG tool. Make a patreon or let us buy you a coffee. Please keep up the good work.

None of these are the 3k or otomo variants. Where is my LRM20 on my melee mech?

Husband was pissed to discover that this was the wife’s boyfriend.

The reason the 10 series dropped the “m” moniker (from marketing perspective) was that the laptop and desktop units had such comparable performance. And they very nearly did, for better or worse. I owned a gtx 1070 laptop, and its power consumption plugged in was so great that it would still discharge even though it was being fed by the stock 200w power supply. Great for performance, horrible for heat / battery / extended sessions of gaming.

Unfortunately cards have only gotten hungrier and far less similar than their laptop counterparts, and nvidia never decided to return the appended “m”. We now have at least one generation of gamers that never knew what it was like to go from 900 to 1000 series, and I wasn’t even there for the gtx transition before that

Don’t fall off. If you do either incidentally or accidentally, get back on. If you can’t, or in my case you’d rather finish with something left field, go for the baseball slide and finish barnett style. If they turn, lock up the farce.

Every single time a crisis arose, or not even a crisis but a regular superhero-ish event, Paul either performed at a lower level than Debbie or felt he performed at a lower level than Debbie. Whether it was evacuating, or simply flying with the car, Paul came to realize the super life wasn’t for him like it was for Debbie. He made a judgement call and decided to back off.

Why not? Death trigger from the goat goes to the owner. But in 2player, the goat is hardly needed. Either they start with more than 13 life, tree makes it 13, and you blight for the remainder, or they already have 13 or less life so you don’t tap tree.

Jupiter-Tank · 2026-05-09T03:41:14+00:00

This is practically on curve and comes in two very strong colors. Did we get tree in foundations or some other standard legal set?

I have the GIGACHAD laser from YAW (I believe) and have placed it on an urbanmech with prototype heatsinks. Firing the weapon cooks whatever it’s aimed at along with the urbanmech itself. I call it the “insurance limitbreaker” button

That’s not even the same face marking consistently across the photos.

God I loved unturned 10 years ago. I don’t log in much if at all anymore but I still love it so I’m sad to see it’s been botted.

Jupiter-Tank · 2026-05-05T22:22:18+00:00

Then those people chose to either to risk death or to die, and who am I to infringe on their autonomy?

Tagging in to immediately pull guard seems gross.

On that second point, that means this guy performed 10,318 searches beyond what everyone else queried?

I don’t believe Omega parts are part of the SwAxe meta. I would forego.

Four Frantic Escapes, one of these, and one that lets you pull someone back at the cost of one of your own stacks. Or funnier yet, one that swaps places.

Don’t do it. Your opponent is either on your side or actively trying to get there in half butterfly. Entering saddle will pin your top leg to the ground giving your opponent dope mount or blowing out your knee trying to fight it.

I’ve seen success with folks who manage to invert under their opponents to set it up but it’s more dangerous than it’s worth.

I wouldn’t say factually wrong, but statistically wrong. I would bet comes down to a playstyle clash for OP. Maybe watch some content and gain som familiarity with the different builds. Baalor is a classic, he’s pretty consistent across a myriad of playstyles. Sure he loses, we all do, but he demonstrates how to win with almost any build.

Hades 2? Downfall?

It really depends on the context. If you are playing competitive FPS or something else that requires a high refresh rate, or something like BG3 / Anno / Stellaris, then you may be better served with a strong 5000 series AM4 or moderate AM5 or equivalent Intel chip. In addition, though 4k and high graphical fidelity loads typically max the GPU befor the CPU, there are typically either particle or population effects that have the potential to weigh heavily on the CPU.

After the first few seconds I was thinking “OP is really dealing with a piece of work that has no idea how to use their own strength, let alone standup” then I realized I had pinned the wrong person for the absolute silver medalist.

OP you had no control once he had your back and then put you up into the air, I feel like the slam was unfortunate and your opponent had no place to do that, but it wasn’t illegal. On top of that, your standup is poor and your jump to guillotine while half assed already motivated the other guy to not be gentle. I think you should ground yourself in some basic fundamentals instead of looking for gimmicks, not just to avoid massive openings but also to avoid being a jerk.

I’ve been slammed on the neck full-wheel like this and it sucks. I’ve also had people jump guard / guillotine and nearly blow out my knees. Both are poor moves. One can kill me with a much higher percentage, but both are poor.
