(Not anyone don’t use horos 1 on Blackbeard)
Anyways yeah hi that’s my art Dreams of Belonging (the white witch) is piloted by an NHP and also the drawing isn’t finished the ferrofluid has an oil-slicked sheen to it that I haven’t drawn yet
goblin deez girl pills
gottem
the nhp in question is a sweetheart i homebrewed a fairly over the top custom hardsuit for him to offset all the downsides of
being an nhp
this isnt relevent at all but i got a new progesteron prescription and they are fucking neon orange for no reason
like taking jellybeans
the narrative is cyberbullying him he needs an innate exotic trust
LMAO
insane
I get no use out of my innate exotic so it’s okay
innate extoic is crazy
this guy doesnt run black thumb thats the only reason i let him have this for the record
I wish I could take pills for T but alas I’m forced to face my intense shaking terror of needles
like high vis
At least I would if I DIDNT LIVE IN THIS HELL SWAMP
dont they have patches?
Gel but it’s more expensive and I have an idiot cat who rubs on my shoulders when I sit down
my brother takes it and he said the needles arent that bad
i thought it was inner thigh
knew a guy who did it that way
it's basically a combination of 3 basic hardsuits
personal kinetic shielding, the carapace hardsuit, and the assault hardsuit
takes the best aspects of all 3 and smacks them together, then adds an innate set of aux melees on it. this sounds insanely good but it wont stop him from dying instantly
It absorbs better on the shoulders and inner thighs but either way it’s not easy to get unfortunately
There are maybe 28 US states this could describe
That’s very true
im gonna guess like
its the swampiest helliest one
florida
50
Georgia?
bela is right
Not Nevada lol
georgia isnt as swampy i dont think
i know his geographic location because chaos is my polyamorous boyfriend whom i love <3
swamp can only mean a coupla things
What’s a nevada
dont even worry about it
not true!
some places are too dry to have swamps
My glorious state
YOU ARE COOKED
I’m going to throw rocks at you <3
Still hell then
CHOPPED SHIT STATE
for what???????
Just go anywhere else
(this is also the other reason i gave him an innate exotic bc im A Little Biased. at least it's not one he can reasonably use in mech combat)
My state is a state of denial
Fuckin no one here
i love the empty desert
Exactly
Oregon?
In the mountains the weather is immaculate
theres plenty of places to just hide away from people up in the mountains
Never below 20, never above 75
though my mountains are
Mountains of Nevada is peak
probably not tall enough
75°C? You good?
75 f
K
Oh
75 K
LMAO
I might start prog in a few months
maybe not
ive been kinda unstable
its,
if you arent stable i wouldnt recomend it
go with the normal ones first
spiro and estrodile are enough
I’m in Ohio rn and it’s minimum -10 maximum 90 and this shit fuckin blows
I've been on E over a year now
but im like
maybe kinda having a crisis
idk
it's complicated
need therapy
maybe need anxiety meds
One of the big things I want from prog tbh is further breast growth
anxiety meds are goated
i got a bit, spiro was the big thing for that
and by big i mean basically nothing
i need to work on my appetite/eating
need more meat and fat on my bones
wait
what?
also im on spiro too
you can drive through em and its so pretty
I don't really have experience with HRT but I can say that fluoxetine has done wonders for my mental health
This conversation is deeply related to sixth voice
i was not destined to have big tits alas
LANCER is inherintly transfem
Idk what that means
half the mechs are trans coded
koremasa, sluagh, fitzgerald, black mountian, naga, myconid, purple thorn
maidens blush
I wasn’t aware mass genocide was trans coded
i love myconid im never going to use it because im too much of a gorgon lover
sluagh probably the most so
thats so fair
this kitbash i posted earlier is actually my first ever piloted mech, Nimue. It's a gorgon despite appearances!
its basilisk projectors make massive blades of light that, when they strike their targets, instantly cause severe system damage
Sisyphus gorgon is DEEPLY in the game
the warhead is supposed to be a kraul rifle
oh i see
i may be doomed too
but i will fight fate
because it's a vorpal + kraul + saddle lancaster
the facial changes were nice, prog also helps fill in for the less t
i gotta start exercising more and eating more and more fatty food
i have an ass apparently
mecha as a genre has often been beloved by trans communities as it feeds very well into body dysphoria storylines and the whole "reject your natural form and instead use a body of your own creation" core of the genre
Yeah I've like subconsciously been hating my face less lately
lighter facial hair
Ah I suppose that is a fair interpretation
carries its allies on its back and leaps around all the time while tearing people apart with its vorpal cannons, super super super fun to play. the other pilots i was with were a melee tokugawa and a goblin, so they needed the protection
fuck i need prog
i can sort of pass sometimes now so, it all helps
hate hate hate facial hair
also sorry for not really giving much input on the current discussion, i'm only like 50% trans? im gnc as hell and dating 2 trans guys but i dont have much input here
OH MY GOD SAME
I have always interpreted in the way Miyazaki did, basically just fighter jets. Machines of war and suffering sure are fucking gorgeous
it's both, truthfully
close enough you get to count
tyyy <3
Or the curious archive video on god engines
I LOVE PACIFIC RIMMMMMMM!!!
they are!
ive had to fight the hell out of the mech fucker alegations
but they are pretty
i just like looking at em
I’ve given up fighting the jet fucker allegations
the list didnt help
or like every kojima game, "war is hell and the downfall of the human race, but got damn is soldier cool huh?"
lemme guess, smash list?
no
ive been meaning to make one/s with friends
it was a BIT that went too far
look at smith shimano corpro. look at smith shimano corpro and tell me the mechs are not traditionally attractive. tell me that rn.
I’m going to do bad things
they gave black witch toes. why did they do that.
I won’t say to what. I won’t say to who.
out of 10 ratings for how good each mech would be to fuck and reasoning
INSANE
based based based
i wanna do that with 1st party + sixth voice
MGR:R lol
not a mech fucker, just thinks about fuckin mechs 🤨
Just the whole game
anyways yyall have fun i need to go clean this flesh prison called "my body"
black witch was
10/10 t4t bdsm gfd
FOR A BIT
it was FUNNY
jets are hot but in a different way from how mechs are hot, to me
mechs are hot in a traditionally attractive robotfucker way. jets are hot in the "slamming the gas pedal on this insanely fast car makes my heartrate go up 10,000000%"
*you wrote 11/10
I know what you are
:squint:
if i was i wouldnt have doen the list
casue thats too close to home
at least 10% of them were
x/10 DIED
im with sigo here im sorry
You are a mech fucker it came free with your fucking pilots license
Dusk wing rated at 9/10
I MEAN
there is like no act more intimate to a robot than literally CLIMBING INSIDE OF IT AND CONTROLLING IT
all the best pilots are mechfuckers thats how it is those are the rules
extremly that one, the scene in which you are confronted with the horrors of what you are doing to people by dicing them into little bits, you get a letter grade for how well you diced them into little bits
Enkidu was rated 9/10. Ghengis was 4/10
if you dont have complicated feelings about your robot you arent doing it right
black witch, amber phantom, and myconid were the top 3
I’m not but I’d wax ur ass in an armored core 1v1 LOCK IN.
the myconid is the closest one to being actually true
You rated the Enkidu as high as the Black Witch
i'm sorry but you are not beating the allegations
Rated 10/10
yep
"YOU ARE A MECH FUCKER! IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR FUCKING UNION CERTIFICATION!"
i rated rakshasa too low ngl
Update the list!
NO
Update it!
im trying to burry the mech fucker jokes
freak (loving)
“Yeah I don’t actually know anymore if this war I’m fighting is justified or not but FUCK this is rad.” Literally just the “this isn’t my sword” line
my real life girlfriend is in that server
seraphim? what from?
old version of sluagh
same thought
its very complicated but its no longer there
got retextured
i think the only remnant is the sluagh compendium entry
did the seraphim have art?
Honestly mesh piloting is so Inherently intimate it’s why I always have extended compartment
yes by my girlfirend
but she didnt want it shared at such a wide scale
so its removed and im not gonna put it here
3some with me, another pilot, and the NHP in my mech systems
im sure its somewhere if you really wanna look
ah ok
which nhp
Wouldn’t you like to know
nope kills you
In all honesty whichever is the meanest to me about it
I feel like noah would be the most caring
also Typhon but that's my own creation
imagine someone who really fucking hates authority and also is very responsible
noah is the best options yeah
sehkmet
nope you die
Exactly
'another pilot' you can namedrop me
That’s the point if I don’t die at least once during it then am I really having a good time /lh
its ok you can namedrop me
<3
polyamory has evolved so much
my mechfucker sibling has given their opinion, also noah
I’m the bravest person in this room
no, the most foolish
im not saying they cant be HOT
just that dying halfway through is fun for nobody
I feel like me and athena would get along better as friends, maybe not lovers
yeah
our third sadly doesnt play lancer </3 we gotta get him into it hes such a kicked puppy i adore him
she would find sex to messy and disorganized to be enjoyable
for sure
"ASURA clones now recognize the need to keep their pilot alive and will operate within parameters set by their pilot’s medical and psychological tolerances." from the flavor text for ASURA, so I think it would ALMOST kill you
id be too worried to enjoy it
i mean thats fair yeah
30 seconds
what does it mean for a person to be a kicked puppy lol
hes very emotionally unstable and extremely sweet but frequently very, very sad
like when you have a dog that was clearly abused previously so they shiver at the sight of brooms and such
that's how he is, just as a person instead
It's me, i'm the mechfucker sibling
man
damn i posted at the worst time
okay yeah the picture helped here
this is so fucking real
yeah no its quite sad but i love him hes very sweet
im worried lancer would give him a heart attack from the choice paralysis
Frothing at the mouth I need my doctor to put me on prog NOW
I wanna but not sure I should yet
mental state isn't the beeeest
so like what's the visual on gloire's Extended Zone Control. how am i ramming from 3 tiles away.
go go gadget extendo fist iirc
basically yeah
One of my new players is new enough that they dont understand the concept of homebrew vs the "official" massif expansions and they straight up don't get why there wouldn't be a white witch alt made. Specifically because two of the people in the group are using sixth voice alt frames
And she's like "I like the systems but not the actual frame, why doesnt the white witch have a parallel one like the gloire?"
And ive explained multiple multiple times that these things are passion projects of fans of lancer and dont just like magically spawn into existence or come folded into every license
LMAO
Tell em the reason I didn't make a white witch alt is cause I have no idea what to do with the liscence
Also like, the systems and frame go so well together, its hard to imagine a different set of traits working well with them
Could have the self damage do something else ig?
Just checked through the liscence again
Id probably do something like, when you start your turn immobilized you can ping someone for damage
The actual want to take damage is pretty limited on the license itself
I don't know if it even needs an extra trait to do that so
Maybe some other enabler like, you have resistance to the first instance of damage you take each round
So you can get bigger value out of camus
Maybe as a reaction so you can choose the instance but only while immobilized
You are kinda stuck to some defender flavor but
Make it more of a striker as a hybrid frontliner
Damn youre cooking
Oh that would be delightful
The goop...
Striker!
Yeah
maybe when it takes damage, it charges up
Legally Distinct Non-Copyright Shock Claws 2: Electric Boogaloo
John retort loop
Just make retort loop integrated, trust me it won't break things
It probably wouldn't to be fair
But white witch doesn't need the help
I like making alt frames for liscences that need it a bit more
Like barb
Mourning cloak
In seriousness though WW's license is already extremely narrow, it'd take a lot to of wrangling to make an alt for it tbh
Alt frame where all the numbers are doubled and its size three
And it gets an integrated dd288 that can skirmish and doesnt have to charge
Explodes you with my mind
And also it gets all of the lich systems integrated for free :3
and its got 100 in every stat
Purple Witch
New personal mission, trying to catalog of all of Bela's pet peeves and cooking up a lich alt frame so I am successfully psychically exploded
Not even your own?
depends
for playtests always for personal campaigns only if they really want to
current one yes but
first one no until like half way through
less damage?
than atlas?
the one with a main and a worse bonus d6 than amber phantom that has a main/aux
that atlas?
yeah
uhhuh
and sp 5 and heat cap 4
JK2 goated but anyone can use it
the humble mourning cloak
Is the atlas really that bad??
jaeger dodge iss extremely good, great license, giantkiller is excellent
its weak its not like
the mech isnt that bad, but its damage is not impressive
awful
its base stats are just so bad that the great traits struggle to make up for it
and ye as a striker the damage is not impressive
Gotcha
One of my players who is very very new was intrigued by it
I will keep all this in mind
it is a deeply punishing mech, definitely a hard to use one, and even harder to build
but I personally call it B-tier
it's not kobold at least, it does do things
Yeah no even in a hypothetical sense the kobold seems like a license you steal from
the kobold is one that feels like it needs alt frames to make its license work on a bespoke frame. ghoul and salamander are both solid
Zheng’s a good Kobold alt
lol yeah thats true
kobold with superheavy mounting and a DD288
#opwaytoobroken
You can achieve similar with the Plasmagauntlich
Since you can soul vessel the downside
:] 90% of what I play is Lich
wait from where ghoul is from?
Trouble on DPOK
I must become enlightened
The core, if you go with what’s written, priest heals and buffs, anything that affects anyone really, is yours if you want
And soulvessel applies to overcharge. Ask your dm if you take heat before or after the action or if they allow the action before the soul vessel teleport
Celestial shackle from goblin you can apply to yourself
You can protect enemies from players
Which can also reposition you quite a lot
Wandering nightmare doesn’t have the unique tag
Bentham/Foucalt elimination can be used to active your core.
Didymos only lets you move next turn as your doubles if you use it on yourself
Most things work. Though you should ask your dm about the core power

Probably a very common concept for a Hazard I whipped up. Might be better on a Gilgamesh, but why not I say.
Yeah. Long range guns, RPG, some minor support. Hazard really feels like an IPS-N Gilgamesh. Which in turn feels like IPS-N's version of a GMS Everest. I kinda vibe with it. It feels quite versatile in builds.
Artillery? Check. Striker? Sure, get a shotty or melee! Its got something.
Always got something
Had to return to the Primrose cause my last build didnt satisfy me. but this might be the dumbest idea i've ever had. Evasion Build With Falcata, and having Terashima Blade on Lord's Stance. Armament Redundancy since both weapons are VERY unique. And Flourishing Twirl is there just because, though only having 3 uses means one has to choose their timing. Ok, thats the last time i'm posting in a while lol. Cheers.

terashima blade's pretty cool here
Yesss
this is kind of semantics but where is the controller bit of black mountain's support/controller
Lock on and doom
Sure it but in past iterations it caused impairment
the mech isnt controlling enemies it's just making allies not whiff ever
ah, well that would be controller
It's a debuff
but it doesnt
that doesnt harm the enemy in any way unless the allies do something with it
so support
it's kind of semantics, but I bring it up because I have no idea why BM gets save target 12 lmao
the license definitely has control in it
kinda figured that was to ensure it being incapable of being offensive like the emperor
Spin!
wha
It's synergy for flourishing twirl
Lots of saves on the frame too
I mean lots of mechs have saves in license but either save target 10 or 11
Core, magnetic
blackbeard core
just because you have saves doesnt mean you deserve 12
very few deserve 12
IMO primrose should lose save target in exchange for the ability to remain alive
you may have intentionally avoided evas 9, but I would argue it should have it
Really? 20 threshold is weird
"If an attack would put this benefit beyond +3 it resets to +0."
Im confused
9 base + 2 full sync + 3 passive + 6 HASE
fair enough
I understand wanting it to not reach evas 20 to differntiate it from other high evas SSC melees like mourning cloak (or general strikers like amber phantom), but I dont think making it just evas 19 actually achieves that differentiation
but I understand why
It's mainly just so it can be hit by not crits
And it's got good ass stats anyway so the crazy high dodge felt pushed
Overly high stats is something I had too much of in the past
I think 11
Blush can use the 12 though
I don't think it's massively too strong with the 12, though I dont fully grasp why it wants it other than a trait that forces a save which lots of save 10-11 mechs ahve
license invovles no saves
For which one
personally I might consider hitting its save in exchange for tech, so it can use the great e-war options that moruning cloak can struggle to have the HASE for
blush
Oh that's because it's built very much around rend
I think this would be neat at least
but I get that one more than I get primrose tbh
I kinda just, dont understand what primrose brings to the table that another mech cant also do
but that's mostly a me issue
Nasty threat and dodge
so ye blush having 12 is more sensible
Toku needs exposed for its threat and isn't a super heavy mech
So you get executioner value
Lmao
oh btw very good that rend doesnt immobilize anymore lol
as it is, it is like, 85% as good as lycan's power flux, and then we get extremely good other traits + a passive
goated mech
the everest replacement that was NOT intended to be that
universal problem solver
manticore was like, almost a respected mech, even with unstable system
but now if ur on manticore license, THE GOAT, is RIGHT THERE
I do like that so much if it's power is just from how good the claws are
restitance trait that is only second to black witch who does NOTHING but have resistance to kinetic
was there an intent behind eternity hammer doing 4 different damage types
or just aura
just curious of there was some master plan
Aura
fair
The rainbow theming
ye
I also just wanted a good high damage super heavy that wasn't gms
this is not a real critique but I wish primrose had a heavy in the license lol
that is just me being whiny about sheavies tho
THE HUMBLE COMBAT DRILL?
Oh it's good I can't deny that
Teamkill the mech:

Id love to see it in action
Absolutely, I was barely able to make one, and it to longer then most licenses
The only ways you can really change things up is how it uses it stuff, but even then that just risks it being WW to the left
Do you already have this one made or no?
Id love to hear what you got cooking for it
Subutai
I spent all last night at a house show unable to stop thinking about an m/k 2 flavored as using miniature blinkspace gates to reload, and as soon as im done nursing this hangover I am banging this bad boy out
Feel free to throw suggestions at me for systems/weapons to slap in there, right now im torn between an AMR or CPR for the heavy
actual tragedy that Jorm activates on slowed or impaired and NOT immobilized
suffering from plasma talon success
oh speaking of subutai
basically armor 1.5 hp 8, pretty low for a defender that is diverting hostile attacks to it
am I missing something cuz that seems kind of unusably low
like low HP defenders are like white witch drake and lycan who have massive armor or resistance traits
(or both hi lycan)
drake does too but blast plating is usually worse than slag carapace
or sagarmatha, who has a free brace, and is also kinda bad lol
It's got difficulty on the rail and extra movement didn't want it too tanky
Jorm is already so strong its been changed a ton
Used to even let you knock people prone
Cpr is funny but you can't always assume you have the core
Amr works better with the anti ord trait
The +1 accuracy and ap means thing like missile racks are actually kind of good
Howitzer is just funny
difficulty to hit an evas 6 is kinda not useful
like ur evas 6
ur not building agility, your HASE is hull/engi + maybe sys at higher levels
so like, that's not useful for us to remain alive
it's true that it being able to move while immobilized is extremely potent
but I do think it kind of just isnt a defender
or, rather, can't really be
oh I dont mean it should be buffed to count immobilize lol, just a funny thing that it doesnt work when they have the worse version of slowed, not saying it's a bad thing tho
Did your group ever test the Vauban Sigo?
no, that one Im not sure we're gonna use
Yeah I was wondering how to best utilize it as well, cuz it also seems to have a thing that gives attacks against it +1 Difficulty conditionally but the Evasion is 6.
yeah I mean the vauban is extremely good, and that is not part of the strength
it's nice tho
Right, makes sense.
it's not completely useless
but it is not enough to make you a defender if ur bulk is armor 1.5 HP 8
Truth
(iskander is just so fucking strong)
we do have an iskander and he is a menace
Islander is so nuts
I too am a little unsure on the best way to use it, my gut would be hull+sys with engi at later levels, get an easy to spam heavy weapon, skirmish + invade every round
and then if we dont want to skirmish or invade we use vauban systems or the passive
like just autostab HMG + the 1d6 from solfotaric, 3d6+4 at LL3 + slowed and impaired as a basic zero pacer turn is really good
and iskander license is a series of extremely potent but highly niche quick actions, so replacing the invade with one of those on some turns is very easy
you can also comfortably replace the invade and systems investment with spamming the shit out of pinpoint focus and put people in air jail while doing the same 3d6+4, but that setup crumbles when faced with an ultra since you can only do it on each person once
and if ur playing with suldan (which you probably are if ur playing with homebrew), LL6 you take enhanced systems upgrade, go for goblin 1, attach a jam or puppet systems to what you are already doing
- an option to take lesson of the open door and run false idol prepared actions and bully enemies that want to accomplish anything at all
yapyapyap the mech can do a lot
extremely so
Sounds good
I am stupid btw
the difficulty is to hit anyone BUT subutai
so my point remains lol
we're just gonna shoot the subutai and it will die
look here! shoot me! I'm not tankier than my friend! ok, sure thing man
also, the subutai is kind of in a similar situation to vauban lol, heavy mounter with a pseudo bonus d6 lmao
I think the subutai should be given armor 2, but it needs to lose something in exchange
I would say drop the AP from the gun
you could make it speed 2 instead of speed 3, and make it so that whenever it becomes immobilized it instead becomes slowed
But my juggernaut drive
sorry if this was pointed out already, but there's a typo in the lcp in The Morrígan's system description
Bella this is a serious error I am taking you to the union for public execution via overcharge asura autostab opcal hmg john everest
What's the typo? I may be stupid
"attacks (against) them," presumably.
Back again with another dumb build! Although, I think I nailed it lol. yes, it's an Amber Phantom, but I used Primrose and Leoleth for the build. I think it is very cool. I debated adding Jorg NHP, but Amber isnt exactly known for it's Heat Cap, so I left it out. Otherwise, we got Rend Axe for free attacks to combo with Duelist, Thunder Sword Greenlight for movement deterence and burn, shock knives with hunter for obvious reasons. Dazzling Wind for flight and potential prone of enemies (I debated Zip Engine, but the prone of Dazzling sounded better, but either is interchangable).

Thunder Sword is a great deterant. Nobody wants to take free 5 points of AP damage lol. And I forgot Duelist gives you Feint so you can move out of the way lol. Extra funny and uses for Thunder Sword XD.
(So many features I lose track sometimes lol)
made some minor tweaks
black mountain and primrose now have 10 save target
fixed the Morrigan typo
hazard now only grants its reliable to non aux weapons to prevent pistol spam
koremasa lost its armor but gained 2 evasion up to 10 and plasma shimmer now works on all attacks
makes it much more dodgey
Koremasa my beloved
I love gambling with my life
its overall more survivable cause you have plasma shimmer
yes fs
fs?
ah
evas bulk is just funny
im not sure what futher tweaks things need
i know you have a lot of opinions, so is there anything that stands out to you as needing nerfed/changed?
lmao
a day does not go by in which I don't hear those exact words
hopefully my opinions are good and useful lol
did primrose get any changes other than losing save 12?
I think it's a big nerf and while I do agree with the nerf I find it quite resonable to bring something else up slightly
honestly, im trying to lower the overall power level
lot of comments about things being overtuned
totally fair, and honestly it's entirely possible that primrose is still perfectly powerful
Idk, it's a harder mech for me to visualize the power of
its not like, nuts single target but its got a bunch of area control
if you want to further that, a buff it could find is you allow it to overwatch people who stand up from prone
now idk if it should neccessarily get that in its current state, may be too much, but that functions with its current kit and license well and furthers its design idea
kinda depends if you want the LCP to be balanced like the amber phantom is or balanced like the drake is lol
you know
thats a good point, but
i think the idea is i want people to look at it and go, ah, that seems pretty balanced
well, lol, I'm not sure how much I can help with that
its more of just bringing down the overall power level
im aiming for under amber phantom but over drake
like a
as someone who plays the game in a very locked in manner, I can only really know if something's absolute power is too low or high, not how any individual who puts superheavy mounting on kobold would think lol
I think primrose is probably low A as is?
solid base stats, extra threat is extremely good for heavies, speedy, solid SP, NOT heat cap 4, reasonable bulk,
I think mag weight distribution might deserve a very slight buff
like that's what power knuckles do without being 1/round and are aux's
I think that would probably keep it in low A, but make it feel a bit better
also it's on crit with a weapon type that is very hard to find accuracies for (heavy melees).
Chain axe does a fuckin SHRED on crit and it gets duelist
yeah i think that bit will be changed
yeah like either you could make its prones more valuable by letting it overwatch people when they stand, give it some method to raise its rolls, or add some bit to the on crit
I dont think it needs much, but I do think it deserves a little
I will answer this in a sec
Glorie having a passive that it cant use with hyperdense is rough
Goire having tech 0 and SP 6 is a little weird, I get that it's a tortuga alt, the sleeper e-war mech, but like, tortuga is the sleeper e-war mech and its license does not help it do that in any way at all, so gloire doesnt care
idk I think maybe allow it to use its passive while slowed at like half speed, but lose a tech and an SP, idk that's just a random thought
I havent considered that opinon thoroughly enough to be firm in it
but it's a reasonable enough idea that I will say it
to be clear I think gloire is like, probably not particularly overtuned
it is a good thing that i am struggling to answer this
I am actively searching and struggling to find an answer
Rakshasa is up there
Black mountain too for sure
yeah probably
a nitpick, but myconid being tech 0, every single horus mech is tech 1 minimum. You can make a horus tech 0 if you gotta but it's definitely weird
symbiosis is cray but I dont fully know the rammies on it never used it
Myconid is probably up there for strongest
woah I had not read Slaugh's passive
ok so leader 3, unlimited times so long as they are adjacent
I would put a round cap on the passive lol
like 2/round or smth
1/round/character minimum
but if you dont like that, 2/round
yeah final answer, rakshasa, myconid, slaugh
with rakshasa being mostly fine, myconid maybe being overtuned, slaugh being #1
oh my god its supposed to have one
i must have deleted it when i swapped the cores
fuck
FUCK YOU T3 Ronin/Operator/Specter, my buddy gets 1d6 overshield for all 3 of your attacks
lol much more reasonable
still quite good, but ye BM, rakshasa, myconid
I do not think BM deserves more nerfs
that poor poor mech
it was one of the earliest designs
but its also got one of the best compendiums so it can tank the nerfs
dude yeah no that one goes hard
I genuinely fucking purged all of my early designs, none of my mechs look even slightly like their first concept versions lol
that's just the nature of them
tied with Grutte Pier i think
oh yeah
thats so fucking real
the base idea was giving out 1 oversheild non stacking and then whenever someone with overshield dealt any damage it did 1 ap more
I had a mage mech that swapped between artillery/striker/defender based upon its elemental state, and it was almost balanced, but it basically had to have 4 traits minimum and crazy base stats to even be mildly competent at all 3, and I just scrapped it
thats actually so fucking cool
i love that archetype
but ye it Lightning (artillery), Fire (Striker), Earth (Defender), Ice (controller)
if i were to make one it would basically just work like rakshasa
choose an element each turn or like on repair
like uh
Im a sucker for a lightning theme
oleander
ITS SO COOL
manticore my beloved
one of the most fun mechs
beckoner in general is really fun
yeah that is a much better way to go about it, this mfer could hot swap elements with a protocol
FC's logo lmao:
LIGHTNING
I am particularly obsessed with lightning theming
thats so real and based
:]
aster play more manticores
also aster, how do you feel about playing mechs developed by outside companies
also one of my most dubious NHP, Janus-class NHP, Protocol to stance switch the NHP, each stance had a seperate limited 1 Full Tech
like uh, heca
it was dumb
Let me go check
or orchis
heca is an ecoterrorist
orchis is ssc but its not like, actually ssc
"On Free Sanjak, the Hecatoncheires is a weapon of terror"
just fuckin outright says it
Look I play Lich. I terrorise reality daily
nonono
not terrorizing spacetime, an unfeeling physics concept
terrorizing humans and wildlife
as nanites typically do
I have a heca player in my game
Overcharge nanocomp krakatoa infiltrator build
maximum wildlife death
krakatoa OC krakatoa hide
im so sorry
repeat
that thing having a heavy mount and no downside is nuts
it's okay I put a guy with a line in the map and he has to run away for a round while I beat his team up
It’s Horus by design so I’ll probably play it.
Lycan maybe. Am I ready enough to go into the death pill bug? Not yet
I mean lycan is really just better manticore
they are different
but lycan is just better lol
but it doesnt FEEL like a manticore
Just read heca. Not my usual approach but yeah that fucks. Wanna see what it does if I do hydra and an ally does swallowtail ranger
didnt you used to say this mech sucks
Yeah no the psychological violence on the Manticore might be usable against Bel in play tests
idk man that drone pretty damn good
pretty fuckin shit active but hey I don't like those anyways
Right now I was cooking up a Rahleigh tortuga mix with just two systems and a mod and… uh… 7 hand cannons, two of which fire for free
:]
typical raleigh things
Spacetime has feelings, see Outer Wilds
now imagine being a stortebeker, firing 5 hand cannons, AND firing a heavy melee, and then doing that every turn
what a normal reasonable mech
Yeah then just Roland and then just tortuga hyperdense
What is a reasonable mech?
stort
Knife egg
has a drawback that can be exploited or played around
everything but stort, lycan, phantom, iskander, orchis, empakaii
everything but them
is reasonable
phantom?
phantom is close to reasonable
what is phantom
:] yippie
amber phantom
AH
it would be reasonable if it wasnt nelson erasure
i love the context but just
just literally better at nelson's job in every way
FREE 1d6
when you hit like ll5
but if you build them well around a well built team comp, they have no weaknesses
and all the npcs are teir 2 but you havent hit ll6
oh ye tier 1's are pretty weak
but like T3 specters doing 50 damage in a skirmish
Why is that, actually?
just absurd damage
lmao i love specters
just send in a vet with limitless and just delete 2 structure
this is core book btw
love me a short cycle
the most valuable stabilize ever
true
until they have limitless
and then just shoot you with anything
what is the best npc to ultra in your opinion
not for power but for like
fun to fight
it depends on the enemy team comp
oh
nvm
I was gonna say breacher if they have a lot of low evas bulk
but that isnt fun to fight lmao
like an ultra spite is bad
eat shit 60 dmage ur shredded
Im gonna do it again
and Im gonna that 3 times this round
i lvoe me a cataphract
ultra monstrocities are reasonable
just call them biomecha so they can be e-war'd
and give them a heatcap
and then they're good
How do you fight an ultra witch?
melee assasin
Thanks
Ll1
Yes
walls lol
Playing technophobia
or use your active
your active will help you get in and explode it
Noted
and split up as to get not predatory logic'd
it's real map dependant but #1 rule is they cant hurt you while dead so bum rush DPS max is often the play
Yeah guess so
seeder
hear me out
search
so long as you have a person with a big sys stat, ultra seeder is fun
ultra pyro is fun as a crawling ball of death
but I genuinely think seeder
yeah lol, quick action systems check, you learn the location of all mines in sensors
if you fail the check you get nothing tho
…
did bela scam you lol
Nah she didn’t like my solution to not knowing I could look for the fuckers
Core book
"Mines within a character’s SENSORS can be detected by making a
successful SYSTEMS check as a quick action, otherwise
they are HIDDEN and can’t be targeted."
I ran Lich and did the OBJ, walked into 3 of em. Took damage from one iirc or none
"Detected mines
can be disarmed from adjacent spaces by making a
successful SYSTEMS check as a quick action; the
attempt takes place before the mine detonates, and on
a failure, the mine detonates as normal."
Continued doing obj
lich minesweeper
Yeah
the better play, grapple the seeder, and use that fucker as the mine sweeper
By just walking into them
Too far, not arsed enough to care
lol fair
Walk through mines repeatedly is more simple. Let me actually use didymos
Is stort really that crazy? It hurts my brain trying to make sense of a build for it
Beyond dual cat hammer, high acc ranged toy
at low levels it's mid, at high levels when an accuracy means a 50/50 crit rate, it's highest damage mech in game
a very simple way to use it is var sword + cannibal/bolt thrower
with core integrated + hunter for 3 total rolls to crit
and use that to reload the big damage heavy ranged weapon
with a 50/50 to crit, 3 rolls has an 87.5% crit rate, with overcharges also comfortbaly being on the table at high LL's
as well as, if you whiff a crit, you can just make it a crit 1/scene, which is usually enough
and if you need more, active
so yeah, @ LL6 it's a little hard, 9+ it's the biggest damage in the game
and it doesn't have survivability troubles, it doesnt have speed troubles, it doesnt have any real troubles at all
and it can use reprise to just comfrotably violate duplicate action restrictions
I didn't realise that Stort had 7 e-def
that's kind of obscene
yeah insane mech
one of my players used one during the final mission of our last campaign, LL12, like fuckin 19 phase bossfight, basically 3 eidolons back to back to back, he did so much damage lmao
he did like 2/3 of phase one's 120 HP turn 1 AFTER using shahnameh on a buddy (which he used reserves to bring), so wasnt even full damage
all in all the boss had like 1200 HP or smth lmao and the combat only lasted 21 rounds, and that was with doing a shit load of mechanics
lots of destiny-esque raid mechanics and eidolon mechanics to bypass immunities and stuff
it actually inspired the compendium for by Camus
not directly, more spiritually, the kind of philosophical writing idea
you didnt ask to search for them!
thats actually heartwarming
black mountain and piere have so much aura
what????? 19 phases???
1200 hp and 21 rounds is nuts
This is the compendium
"If you are to kill, then you are a killer. Hypocritical and thoughtless beings scry proofs of moral calculus to justify the sinking of a blade into another's flesh. Monoliths of hypocrisy. Such justification cannot exist. Killing cannot be justified. Rage cannot be justified. Hatred cannot be justified. These things are the origin of all else, and thus have no reasoning. They simply are. To exist is to hate. To exist is to end another's. We sit in metal mockeries of human forms built to fire god-breaking bullets and world shattering blades. Don't be afraid. Life clings to the point of your dagger. Push it."
my players do like 4 rounds in 4 hours
I didn’t know I could fucin do that
not done yet
holy based
because Im sitll messing wth it
goated
the idea of, how come we are trying to do good things in war machines is one i love
there was gonna be a compendium about it that got scrapped
it was an 8 hour boss fight to be fair lol
it was a final boss of a 1.5 year long campaign lol
I had to make it insane
the mfer could freely invert cause and effect at will
he could make you drop dead, and then go stab you when you cant stop him (cuz ur dead), completing the cause and effect, just flipping them
so making it make any sense to have the players win required having them lock tf in for 21 rounds
thats crazy
i do plan on doing something like that but one of my players checks this thread occassionally so i cant say anything
lol good luck
nothing quite that nuts
you gotta give it a weakness, his weakness was that he only gets so long to go through with the cause, and if he doesnt complete the cause fast enough, the effect ends and is pushed to him
but absurd powers with massive exploitable weaknesses are soooo fun
so the person that died stands back up, and he just dies on the spot
anyways off topic but ye, stort blew through a couple of his health bars in record time
stort moment
Im glad me and my whole fireteam are new, so they dont ruin my encounters like that
Well
Ruin is a strong way of putting it
Blitzing through in a way that I am not yet experienced enough with lancer to compensate for
ITS SO COOL

dragonkid11 noted that your mechs are kinda overtuned. I wonder how busted the roster is, it didn't feel that way at first glance (but clearly I'm wrong looking at past convo here)
It's, complicated id say?
Id you have thoughts about what may be overtuned lemme know
But Id like to think it's fairly balanced overall post changes
most of the overtuned things have been changed to be much less so
a couple months ago, it was very true, as of the most recent patch, it is very close to first party balance
she is very receptive to feedback and clearly has a deep understanding of the game
Did the comp con revert some of the changes? I thought the damage boost of black mountain was a 2/round reaction
Harrison armory dissaproves👎
comp/con v3 has exploded many things
one of my friends last night reported that he somehow had a version of one of my mechs in his comp/con that only ever existed in 1 lcp file, and he never once had that file downloaded
he never once had FC 1.0 on his computer, and the follesdal somehow was displaying as its 1.0 version
Horus put it there
What's up with them?
no i just know the guy
it is always commendable to make anything at all, create art for it, and put it into the world
but yeah that shit is so big lol
iirc it was 60 mechs
it is very very commendable to have THAT many ideas and flesh them out enough to create an LCP for it
im not sure how fleshed out all of them are
YOUR WORDS NOT MINE
oh fr
mine is like 40
so I understand
ok well still, I mean no disrespect at all
but yeah most of it is kind of non-additions that do nothing new
I have my opinions on the server's moderation that I will withhold
so my opinions of him are hardly affected by his banning
???
its a little strict, but i think you can say that
Who
it makes sense for a server this big, no real time to delve into things
but it does have its downsides
uh, jyva
hes in open table
What bout him?
hes banned and he made the newcomers
What’s that? Do you dislike it?
which, to be fair, is extremely hard to not do, and the LCP contains a decent bit of actually good stuff, it would just be better off if the chaff was cut to makle room for the good stuff to shine
i dont hate it, i dont use outside homebrew at all
sixth voice supremacist smh
~~the real answer is i find that most homebrew mixes poorly ~~
YES, ALL OTHER HOMEBREW IS TRASH THAT I SPIT UPON
honestly I find this not to be true
other than MY GLORIOUS CREATION
like i hear people say this all the time and I dont agree
i mean thats fair but stuff like zip type can get busted
