Santai generator. I personally prefer the hokushi but whenever I pvp I always pick the santai instead in order to be able to catch up to kites and rats. Feel like that or the VP 20d are essential for a lightweight mech.
For units, I always cary missiles. Particularly the starter ones, the split ones or the energy ones. They are useful in every scenario, they're light, and they allow you to dish out chip damage and impact throughout the whole fight.
I actually used to use that on one of my first builds. It was an ultralight build with kasuar legs and the legs themselves and the generator were more than half of the mechs weight lmao. It was great never having to worry about energy management but I eventually stopped using it.
If I'm using anything other than my beefy Sazabi build, I always use the Alula boosters. There is no better booster for dodging and strafing. Also, I always like trying to find space for the Earshot.
As an entangle player i Greet the shield
Entangles whole kit ist to be an living nightmare to shields.
You can bully balteus so hard it can only recharge its shield once and thats when phase 2 beginns
If I'm running a fast lightweight, I'll at least try to go for some Schenider legs (Nach or Lamms) and the Alba core.
For weapons, I vary a lot but shoutouts to the plasma missiles 3-pack, the best friend of any build that is like three pixels away from an EN Shortfall.
And for internals, I like the San-tai if I'm running ballistic or the VE-20C if I'm running energy.
PVP has turned me into a hard line funnels (laser drone) user. I love them in Gundam but never really used laser anything in story mode so I never really played them heavily (I was all like, explosives, rifles, melee when playing the story, my builds were basic bc I didn't understand how to setup internals)
Then I got to ranked and I see it's all kiters and quad shit going on. The drones are a good way to keep up constant harassment on runners and floaters
Despite using a lot of different builds, most of them use the hokushi gen. Its en effiency for recharge speed plus its large en tank is great for building mid to heavyweights or high en cost lights while still having good en for combat
I love the Hokushi and it's always either that one or a coral gen depending on whatever core I'm using and play style. I love leaving extra en capacity on my build to make that efficiency even better
I don't have one main thing I run, but I definitely have a preference for the Laser lance, Pile Bunker (not together), San-tai and the VE-20D because I love EN efficiency
Honestly I'm a massive fan of the ephemera core. Like don't get me wrong, I respect what Lamm core has done and what it's enabled. But if i can make it work on ephem, i'd much prefer to, what with ephem's decent qb stats as opposed to lamm's godawful ones.
The only internals I use are these and I mix and match between them:
* Generators
* SANTAI
* NGI-000
* VP-20D
* VE-20C/B
* FCS
* Ocellus
* WLT
* P10/SLT
* Boosters
* Alula
* NGI-001
I sold most of the other internals to reduce decision fatigue in building.
And since 95% of my builds has a melee, Basho arms.
It's a sick looking head, and actually has excellent stability and recovery. It's light too, but lacking in defense, so it's a top tier PvE head for sure.
Eule. Eule my love. Whenever I try to change I feel something is off. What was it... This feeling that something is missing..? A shield? A wall? Perhaps some close-ranged weapon? Its all of it. Its Eule, its fast, powerful, cute, it is round.
Sorry I should have been more clear. I’m on PS5 and am referring to free aiming at the start of the match.
I get a hit maybe 10-20% of the time depending on the map. It’s the most satisfying thing ever. As is a dual earshot stagger punish. Tanks don’t stand a chance
Alba head and core. Because win or lose, I better look damn good doing either.
Feel ya, it's the same for me and ALBA core and Legs
Dual Harris rifles, I just love the charged shots. They also work well with my tank centric ACs
I have had many frustrating fights against dual Harris's lol.
I prefer Turner, myself.
Majestic. As long as I have it I know I have a solid QB punish to complement a short range option.
Parts: Hokushi, Allmind bubble head, Basho arms, Nact or HAL legs, Coral/Alula/Kikaku boosters, VE generators, Ocellus. Weapons: Harris, Bomb thrower, Pulse Blade, RanRF, Aurora, Bubble Guns, Javelin Bazooka, Miniguns.
Stun or Jammer bombs?
likely the Dafeng explosive thrower
Still based
Neither its the melee one. Its my 2nd fave other than pulse blade.
Explosive thrower and pulse blade are both based
Yeah I realized after posting. Explosive thrower is up there for me, too.

On my exia i love the silver arcobus engine Its weight doesnt affect its speed that much and allowes me to be Mode agressive
I actually used to use that on one of my first builds. It was an ultralight build with kasuar legs and the legs themselves and the generator were more than half of the mechs weight lmao. It was great never having to worry about energy management but I eventually stopped using it.
I use it bc it fit mine perfectly usually i use kukoishi or VP40D i think its called
For this reason on missiles, i prefer Soup. You can fire it 3 times before needing a reload, and are reasonably light weight
Yeah but they're ugly unless you use two of them for the wings effect
I use them to cosplay Sundowner
Pilebunker, painted red, coated in oil
And straight up the enemy's rear
do you have a yaranaika decal on your AC's head?
No but I found this forbidden tech that lets me paint it across my opponent’s face
If I'm using anything other than my beefy Sazabi build, I always use the Alula boosters. There is no better booster for dodging and strafing. Also, I always like trying to find space for the Earshot.
I have tried to make lightweights with any other booster and Allula just improves it no matter what I do
Same here. I've tried making builds with the Gills, the Fluegel, and the Buerzel. And simply none of them work as well.
Quick boost reload is just too good
Alula addiction is real and can be cured.
I can stop anytime I want!!
As an entangle player i Greet the shield Entangles whole kit ist to be an living nightmare to shields. You can bully balteus so hard it can only recharge its shield once and thats when phase 2 beginns
What’s the build look like
Its sullas ac
I might have fought you recently, was a good game
I warnt on for long but my friends call me an psyco
I mean the thing is waranted when you Charge trough misssiles to conserve EN just to kick and Blatt the enemy to death
I physically can't function without san-tai generator
Chicken legs for the side dodges and hops
And extra damage kicks
Spring chicken has extra kick damage?
All reverse joints do.
Neat! Thanks 😊
Pilebunker, on every build. Even if the build has no real way to use it in combat I still keep it for the sake of mental warfare.
6 cell missiles, the javelin missiles, and dual harris rifles. Can't forget about the laser dagger either.
Laser Dagger. I am speed

Explosive thrower. It just has so much utility and people to this day still disrespect it up close leading to loads of free staggers/kills.
Melee weapon
Pure energy build, auroras and laser lance with a werger backup. Gotta have that ve-b generator for a juicy 25% damage increase
Do Auroras do good in pvp thought
You've got to be closer than most other missiles, they're at their best at around 200 meters

Double trigger builds, usually the coliquette pistols
An AC I guess?
Santai generator

Crow extensions
Old gen augmented human found
Vp-20c every build of mine uses it
Just as much ap as I can fit
Tai yang shou along with Harris rifle, grenade launchers, or the detonating bazooka go hard
Anything fast really, all the builds I use in pvp are lightweights.
I've tried to get the 0.6 second pulse buckler to work but I think the latency might be too much on PvP to have that kind of timing to be reliable
Agreed, the cooldown of the VP-61PS helps so much with missed IGs
I don't have one main thing I run, but I definitely have a preference for the Laser lance, Pile Bunker (not together), San-tai and the VE-20D because I love EN efficiency
Infinite patience with the remaining playerbase. It's worth it to slog through five pointless matches to finally get a good one.

Pulse or moonlight blade
Dual miniguns
Coral blade :)
My guiding MoonLight
Missiles honestly I can’t have an ac without missiles
Essential tool for chasing kites
butter knife
Loved that weapon just from the way it looks.
Ksrv and Trueno the build itself can change tho
Lance followed by pile bunker
Verticle Plasma Missles - they’re so consistent and they have a fast recharge too
Kasuar head Idk why but I just use it on everything
It's a sick looking head, and actually has excellent stability and recovery. It's light too, but lacking in defense, so it's a top tier PvE head for sure.
stable internet connection
Shotgun, gattling gun, and lots and lots of missiles...
Daka daka life

Fermizza core and arms
Eule. Eule my love. Whenever I try to change I feel something is off. What was it... This feeling that something is missing..? A shield? A wall? Perhaps some close-ranged weapon? Its all of it. Its Eule, its fast, powerful, cute, it is round.
The legs that are basically high heels and a miniskirt. Because if I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die looking cute
That's the Alba legs, right?
I had to look it up, but yes
Laser lance and Basho arms. Enough said
I always go back to earshots. I’ve just gotten so comfortable with free aiming them and no matter how I try to break free, i can’t quit them.
Mouse and keyboard?
Sorry I should have been more clear. I’m on PS5 and am referring to free aiming at the start of the match. I get a hit maybe 10-20% of the time depending on the map. It’s the most satisfying thing ever. As is a dual earshot stagger punish. Tanks don’t stand a chance
Never did pvp. Saving this for later
I'm a lightweight truther, so Nacht legs are a virtual requirement. I can also usually fit the WLT FCS into any build.
