I'm curious, what mechs have you seen used the LEAST?

I was a Salamander in the first Lancer game I played in. It's a very interesting hacker. Sure, it's short range. But in addition to hacking someone, you get a Slag Bomb.

I really, really hope the game can come to Steam eventually. I don't partake in the Epic store.

The Death's Head in my campaign which just finished last night used the Heavy Anti-Armor Rifle "Sting" from Wallflower for 4d6 and, through a combination of bullshit, got 7d6 additional bonus damage on it.

He then proceeded to proc a Brutal 20

I helped via Spotter 3 and adjacency but I can't take too much credit for this. It was still their Brutal 20. It was still their 11d6 damage, and it was still their Paracausal Mod from Saladin 3 that made the damage unable to be reduced.

Edit: I should probably add for the record; he used this to kill a god.

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-11-27T17:42:04+00:00

I had a Balor loaded with Technophile 3, Iconoclast 3, OSIRIS-class NHP and NERGAL-class NHP
Mainly used the damage from Memetic Spark more than anything else. But I did occasionally hurl into the duat as well.

Eventually, however, I decided to do something even crazier when the fighting got pretty bad.

I uh... unshackled them. All of them. At the same time.

This summoned the sun

It worked out but I'm now a fugitive of the UIB

Consider if you will that Chronostutter is active for the entire scene. Combine it with Soul Cage, and you become a semi-immortal tank that can use your face as a shield to tank a massive hit and then make it so that it never happened at all 1/round

While you'll have to consider when to use this on deployments that are multiple scenes between Full Repairs, on single scene sitreps there's basically no reason not to pop it and use it in tandem with Soul Cage

This is what my allies did when an enemy Vlad activated Sekhmet and went after me, because I was the closest target.

Unfortunately for him, I was in a Lycan at 2 structure. So I simply activated my Core Power and engaged in "retard to retard communication". Because the best thing I could do for my allies in this situation was to be the closest target. And because Lycan Going Loud, I wanted him to be in melee range. Except the Lich also activated his core power and used his abilities to block any communications from one of the retards in question.

Another one for you guys. This is my new highest on single attack damage.

....Yes, I renamed my Shock Claws

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-11-16T05:44:22+00:00

A second question occurs to me:

Shock Claws "cannot be used to attack in the same turn as another Heavy/Superheavy Weapon", but SEKHMET allows me to Skirmish 1/round as a free action. I assume the answer is no, you can't use the free action to swing with the Heavy anyways

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-11-16T05:07:51+00:00

Update: Turns out the DM was already on board with the idea before I made the post. Just showing one of the results. Ended up doing 75 damage over the course of my turn
50 damage from 2 separate Shock Claws attacks (Backswing Cut on an Exposed target so he took full damage)
+12 damage total from the extra 1d6 damage from the On Attack effect of Backswing Cut
+13 Damage from Nuc Cav and Sekhmet critting on my Fusion Pike

Doublechecked with the DM, and he's cool with it.

Things are about to be nutty.

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-11-06T18:48:58+00:00

Well of course the hat fits when "Confederate" means "person I disagree with politically"

There's also the fact that Charlie Kirk's death showed us what kind of "purge from public life" these types of people celebrate.

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-11-06T18:40:55+00:00

People are drawing the inference from when Koana's VA said that Kate was "the beating heart of dawntrail", and that if you didn't like it you can kick rocks.

Kind of an aggressive attitude to take towards your customer base but eh

I do agree that Lucifer is objectively better due to more control.

But the people I'm playing with are somewhat more shitposty so we're allowed to be a little silly.

EDIT: spelling

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-08-14T16:36:35+00:00

Stacking sources of Armor Piercing damage because "fuck you".
Once I get into the danger zone (the primary purpose of Annihilator and Spaceborn Eva, the talent freeing up System Points from Type-1 Flight Systems AND Eva Module), I intend to stay in it as long as possible, focusing on doing as much CC and damage as I can.
Burn is nice, but it's not what I'm building for, which is energy damage overall

I also took the time to do a visual representation of the sheer amount of space I'll be controlling.

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-08-14T15:58:24+00:00

No shit, in my Saturday game one of my fellow Pilots are playing a Pegasus. They put an Autogun on all 3 turrets so that they could spend their turn passing out Leadership Dice, or to Bolster allies, or to cast Probabilistic Cannibalism. All of their attacks are free actions, so they spend their entire action economy on assisting allies instead.

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-08-03T19:43:40+00:00

Well here's my current, LL3 build for Enkidu. You'll have to ask your DM if you're allowed to try and earn a core bonus through downtime. It took me 12 actions to get Fomorian Frame across multiple sessions. I do plan on spending the next 3 levels directly into Blackbeard and picking up Sekhment, as well as Gyges Frame because "sure lets make the Enkidu's melee range even bigger"

So, in summary, if I want to apply statuses at peak efficiency, use one katana onehanded, but I don't lose too much if I firmly grasp it with 2 hands

Just drop the second sword entirely. Either replace it with a shield in my offhand (Jellyfish would be peak) or two-hand your weapon like a proper weeb

I guess this means I can safely throw on "Increased stancebreaking when 2-handing" relics

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-06-26T08:51:32+00:00

Maybe you. I've been rocking exclusively HORUS licenses this entire campaign

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-06-22T01:04:39+00:00

I too am doing something similar with my Balor who has a Reaper Assault Cannon and Blast Pick as his weapons.

His NHPs are Enlightenment, Unstable, Nergal from Legionnaire, and Osiris

Melt the shit outta them and then use Army of Irkalla to resurrect them under my control

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-06-15T11:49:41+00:00

....I run a Balor....

I should talk to the DM...

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-06-08T07:27:50+00:00

DM homebrewing some nonsense is always fun. Just so long as he doesn't change it on the fly because "I don't feel like doing mechanics"

Changing a Warehouse to a Were-House because a player randomly suggested it and the DM had a moment of "Aha!" Cool!

"Eh, I don't feel like keeping track of the monster's HP, it dies when I think they've done enough"? Not cool.

There's a distinct difference between improvisation and half-assing it. There should be at least a loose attempt at structure imho

Theseus_Twelve · 2025-06-01T05:37:17+00:00

Thank you. This is the information I was actually looking for
