I had a thread a little like this a long time ago but I didn't find anything useful there, so here I am once more. After looking at a fair few posted mechs, I've found that many look good and have sensible combinations, but don't end up being "powerful". I've now learned how to look business, but I want some power builds now. I find there's no need for them all to be lvl 33, a strong lvl 13 build suits me fine. What with all these new toys and weapons out, it's easy to mish-mash everything, but it's no simple task to make a good-looking build (see Kuld's thread), or a proper powerful build (you're in the right place). Because I just want to have a look and see what you guys use to engage enemies very effectively, you're welcome to post rare builds with Stardust Strikers, Deranged Clowns and Raider mechs, as long as they aren't exclusively defaults. So do you have a powerful mecha build? Here's a sample build for reference: Chassis: Raging Bull (lv33) Front arm: Bristly Bullmace Back arm: Raging Bullmill (default) Front shoulder: Superstar Dual Strike Back shoulder: Raging Bull Stance (default) Body: Default Head: Thunder Head How to make a Screenshot Quote: How to make a screenshot - http://www.iopus.com/guides/screenshot.htm (I prefer to save in JPG or BMP myself, but PNG works too) After following these steps, use an image uploading site such as www.photobucket.com (account required, it's free and all, so no worries) or http://www.imageshack.us/ (no account required) Then you just post a link to one of those image uploading sites. Oh, and thanks to venturer90 and TWF for providing this template... It will be a staple in this thread series from now on, and I apologise for the lack of one in previous threads. God knows I've typed that same order out enough (about 30-odd times over 4-5 threads!). Thanks again!

I'll put a few of the more recent and noteworthy builds back up here in a while!

Name: Ghost Tamer

Chassis: Hunter Eidolon
FA: Default
BA: Default
FS: Ghost of Mantis
BS: Genuine Wanyudo
Body: Default
Head: Fearsome Oni

Order: Head, FS, BS, FA, BA, FS, BS, dead

This is a themed mecha at first(guess how), but it's also a well-balanced build for battling. The Head starts powering your damage, accuracy, and/or defense up while doing great damage. The FS can lower enemy damage and/or accuracy and also do a DoT. The BS does a eDoT and great damage. The FA can give you energy(essential as the chassis provides no regen). The BA reduces enemy accuracy and can cath ghosts(which allows the body to heal you when necessary).

Yay! I'm the first, and I have pride in this build. Oh, and is a screen shot necessary?

Another energy drainer, based on the Ghost Tamer.

Eidolon Energy Usurper
Mecha: Hunter Eidolon
Front Arm: Eidolon Vacuum
Back Arm: Eidolon Trap
Front Shoulder: Eidolon Phaser
Back Shoulder: Earth Day Solar Panels
Body: Dark Hunger
Head: Straw Hat XL

Activations: BS, FA, H, BA, BS, FA, BA, FA, BS, FA, H...

I like that build, I must say. And it's an honor to have a build based on my own. May I name it? ...Eidolon Energy Usurper...

That's a good name.

I'm experimenting with unhittables, but it runs out of energy!

each 3 turns the solar panel if you run out of energy. and you may wish to use things that increase your total ep regen. like the mogloween rares. like nightmare claw and the witch launchers.

Good idea, but the Mogloween rares are... well... rare.

But, the Solar Panels are a definite possibility.

they use 0 ep and boost ep regen of you by 1.25/1.5/2 times as much. the mogloween rares add on to your total ep regen. ecquip the mogloween rares first then the solar panels to give eidolon as much ep regen as possible.

Name: Tiger Master V2.0

Chassis: Master Blaster
FA: Tiger Paw
BA:Tiger Claw
FS: Default
BS: Default
Body: Default
Head: Tiger Roar

Order: Head, FS, BS, Body, FA, FS, BS, dead

You fought him, beat him, and now you've become him. You are the Tiger Master.

It's still the defensive powerhouse the Master Blaster is, but this is a tad better, I feel. The Head decreases your enemy's damage overtime for the rest of the battle and/or increases your's by 40. The FS and BS lower enemy damage furthur for 3 turns each. The Body increaes your defense. The FA lowers accuracy for the whole battle and has a high crit. rate. The BA isn't used.

It's hard to improve on the Master Blaster, but I feel I did a decent job. And at the request of my sister, here's this:

Name: Gilded Edgewing

Chassis: Master Blaster
FA: Frostval Axe
BA: default
FS: Miracyrina Shoulder
BS: Tengu Hawk Wing
Body: Default
Head: Tiger Roar

Order: Head, BA, BS, FA, FS, BA, BS, dead

It's still a defensive powerhouse mecha, but it's been adjusted to lean more towards the powerhouse portion of it. The Head is to increase your damage, and lower enemy damage overtime. The BA will lower enemy defense, and do a garenteed critical hit. The BS will increase your accuracy, lower enemy accuracy, an extra shot and a DoT. The FA has a high crit rate and a chance for a DoT. The FS does extra damage and a powerful DoT. The Body isn't used.

The strategy is to power up the axe and/or miracyrina shoulder to do god damage, as well as sneak a few DoTs in there. Enjoy!

DOUBLE POSTER!

ultimate disablement.

fa-sniper arm from lagos.
ba-sniper arm from lagos.
fs-zorbo.
bs-BANANA!
b-blademaster.
h-frosval gift thingy.

ouch.

b/fa/ba/bs/fs/h/b/fa/ba/anyting you want. that decimates ecquippable builds.

b/h/fs/fa/bs/ba rpt. that decimates non-ecquippable builds.

look out customisers!

Name: Stunner Texas Ranger

Chassis: Yeti Leader
FA: Behemoth Bash
BA: Finger Zapper
FS: Rocket Boot
BS: Seed Shooter
Body: Default
Head: Beard Fist

Order: Head, BA, Body, FA, FS, dead

This mecha is another one of my stunner mechas! Though, the mecha can deal a load of crits and damage overall. And it does some defensive stuff as well. Oh, did I mention...ALL AT THE SAME TIME?

The Head raises your damage and accuracy. The BA stuns and lowers enenmy defense. The Body does extra damage. The FA always tries to stun. The FS lowers accuracy and has a high crit. rate. The BS lowers immobility resistance and stuns.

Beware. They say this mecha is powerful, beneath its beard, there is no chin: there is only another fist. It can bring its foes to their knees simply by pointing a finger at them. It once struck lightening...twice. It CAN believe it's not butter.

lucky pwnagification.

fa-card arm 8P its very powerful.
ba-nephyrisis embrace series. (what? its powerful k?)
fs-chibi dragonoid. (sheesh. hes quite deadly!)
bs-BANANA! (there are hidden spechials. bonus dmg on 1st hit and crit on last. oh and increasing dmg per shot!)
b-lucky mystraven. (holy SMOKE!)
h-accupuncture series. (omg the pwnagification-ness!)

activation order...

h/b/ba/fs/fa/bs oh whatever. just keep looping the powerful effects.

chuck norris got pwnagification-ised by this mech. that was before the bruce l-i mean dragon mech. (i need spoilers)

Name: Jamestun

Chassis: Jameson Avenger
FA: Behemoth Bash
BA: Finger Zapper
FS: Default
BS: Default
Body: Default
Head: Default

Order: FS, BS, FA, BA, FS, BS, FA, BA, etc.

I normally don't post builds that use less than 3 non-default equipment, but I'll make an exception for this guy. It's Jameson on steroids, but he's not Uber. Just Super. Super's lesser than Uber, right? I think so. Anyway, it's a stunning build. The FA stuns, does extra damage. The BA stuns, lowers defense, does critical damage. The FS lowers immobility resistence. The BS stuns after using the FA.

He looks like a really buff midget, and that makes me happy.

Also...

Name: Nearly-Perfect Robin Hood

Chassis: Lucky Mystraven
FA: Bloodcurling Mechete
BA: Yo-yu-mi
FS: Katana
BS: Default(this is why it isn't perfect)
Body: Default
Head: Beard Fist

Order: Body, Head, FA, BA, FS, dead

This is Robin Hood, the best I could do at the moment, but it's great. It's all about hitting hard and not getting hit.

The Body reduces enemy accuracy by 50 and increases your damage by 30. The Head raises damage and accuracy by 25 each. The FA does extra damage(usually around 65% extra). The BA does massive damage. The FS does a DoT, eDoT, and can lower enemy damage by 25.

Let me know if you discover a good BS for the thing. Enjoy!

some say to win wars with dmg... some say with effects. some say with criticals...

BUT I SAY ALL TOGETHER!

the...

BANANAS!
