quick rundown on Clan Heroes II

>Ebon Dragoon
Big improvement over a regular mist lynx. Can take 4 lasers + ECM which is okay because it's still a mistlynx.

>Shard
It sucks because the shoulder missiles are on the left torso(replacing ECM). Weird builds only.

>Rainbow Crow
Adds a hardpoint to the empty right torso and ECM. A must-have buff to a crappy mech, can completely change the way it plays.

>Mishipeshu
Enables Shadow Cat streakboats. Locust pilots BTFO

>Bandit
Dakka builds on a MDD? Not sure if it's the best mech for that style of play, how good it is really depends on how high the torso cannons will be mounted.

>Esprit de Corps
This is what the Cauldronborn needs: a second torso ballistic mount. Will be a godlike dual gauss hillhump sniper, can also do good UAC builds too. Good decision by PGI.

>Virago
Lets a Hellbringer take extra lasers and missiles. HBR is better at boating now, can do bigger laser vomit, or ATMs.

>Kin Wolf
Spurdos can now do splat builds! Good stuff, will be funny to watch.

>Cherbi
A worse spirit bear with hover jets(tm), but once again a fast splat assault will be fun.

It already has 3 missile hard points without the hero torso retard.

Mad Dog hero is P2W because it makes it actually ballistics viable instead of low-slung arms, you can now strip the arms for more tonnage.

Also Ebon Jag kinda P2W but shittier than HBK still.

Why is this such a great looking mech?

>>173099401
Because it has goooooooooooooooold.
And it has a crown.
And a mask.
And a big face on it's chest.

I'm not so sure about this dual Gauss Cauldron Borne. Sure, you can do it, but with a targeting computer Mk. I you'll have three tons of ammo per gun, no armor on the arms, and no backup weapons of any kind.
Is that feasible?
Should it maybe just be two tons per gun, and then a medium laser or something in an arm?
How would you build this...

the secret to the ebon ballistic torso is that it will be low mounted and not tumor mounted :^)

>>173112771
They mostly walk. Running in a mech gives the pilot a chance to slip or fall over. The 64.8 KPH average speed most mechs have is the running speed, they usually walk at 3/4's or 2/3's that I forgot the ratio. So yeah, even though they can technically move like people they still walk and plod along slowly. It's strange to actually picture in your mind's eye.

>>173116372
That's fucking slow though.
That's nowhere near human like agility and movement when running.

5x energy + ECM or 6x energy. Either way, mist lynx just turned viable.

>Shard
Lol it's utter niggershit. Don't waste money on this. Not unless you somehow haven't gotten the invasion variant, the steam variant and still want a c-bill boosted arctic cheetah on which you'll completely ignore the hero pods. Then it's cheaper and a worthwhile purchase.

>Rainbow Crow
It's alright. Kinda disappointed no CT single energy, but at least you can build it with 4x energy 2x missile. Or 3x energy 3x missile.

ECM pod pretty much goes on one of the CT energy variants.

>Mishipeshu
Same deal as with Shard. If you REALLY don't have a c-bill boosted shadowcat by now, it's really the only reason to buy this. Because it's pod options certainly aren't.

>Bandit
2x UAC10. No armour in the arms. 8.5 tons of ammo for them. It's alright. Not good, but alright. More importantly, A C-BILL BOOSTED MAD DOG THAT DOESN'T COST 300 DOLLARS.

>Esprit the Corps
If you're a nigger that needs dual gauss ebin jag builds, this shit is for you.

4x streak 6 and 6x small lasers with ECM. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=230&l=c01c0077fb5d13f9dd454c00e1fa18598d44501a

That or hyper-optimize your laser vomit hillhumper hellbringers by not having to take anything in the arms. 6x energy, all in the torsos and the head.

>>173120498
>>173098307

>Kin Wolf
Mr. Gargler with a CT energy, missile side torsos. Not exactly that good, considering the gargler is tonnage strapped to hell and back. If you REALLY want something like 11x ERSL & 3x SRM6+A (with 4,5 tons of ammo) and 20 DHS, then this hunkajunk is your deal. 21.5 tons of effective space on an 80 tonner though.

>Cherbi
Giant streak-dog. Oh boy. 6x ERSL, 6x S-SRM6 (with 5 tons ammo), active probe. If you want more ammo, just toss out the lasers on the shield arm and put on a total of 10 tons of ammo.

>the Virago build

I fucked up, I had the heatsinks from a laser vomit build still stuck on that. It's supposed to drop 3 of them for a total of 5 tons of streak ammo. That gets you 20 volleys of 24 streak missiles.

Both Clan hero packs have been so disappointing, I guess it's because of omnipods so they can't make anything too good on its own.

>>173121163
Not even that, really. Had they made the ebin jag something like a 3x missile right side torso and the 1x ballistic left side torso, it wouldn't have made the ebon jaguar neither overpowered with its own omnipods or with other builds. Jade Kite was a brilliant example of how to do omnipod configurations for heroes right. A nice set of 8 bonus, and the pods that enable good builds on them.

But PGI is dead set on scavenging through the retarded ancient old battletech technical readout books for hero 'mech stats. You thought PGI is coming up with most of these? Guess again. The niggers are stealing the builds right out of old buttholetech books and slapping bigger price tags on them.

>all those nigger lovers on plebbit complaining that these clan hero mechs are "pay to win."

lol

>>173121995
If they have exclusive omnipods that allow for more weapon boating or higher hardpoints than is available to the c-bill versions that pretty much would fit the definition.

>>173097059

i swear a week-dead donkey would make a better showing for itself as a player than half of the drug-addled downs babby cats that evidently play this game.

>>173134896
>implying battlemech and omni heroes are the same thing
Battlemech heroes have unique hardpoint and maybe quirk configurations, they're just one variant among all the others. Omni heroes are p2w as fuck because any unique pods with more hardpoints or better mount height will straight up make the entire mech and any build or omnipod configuration you put on it objectively better. Hero omnipods with more hardpoints or high mounted torso hardpoints for mechs that don't have those are a straight up upgrade.

>>173135612
I guess these days it doesn't really matter because the list of variants is so bloated no hero is unique anymore. But way back then it was a pretty big deal.

How many people are going to pay just to make Shitfox suck less? Also Spirit bear is fucking dogshit and Scorch is only good for brawling meme which obviously isn't very popular right now. Also neither of them are omnimechs. Jade Kike is only minor build optimization. Superdoas aren't omnimechs. Lineshitter is a Lineshitter so you're not going to see a whole lot of those.

Pajeet is p2w and you'll consistently see them in scouting because it enables 8M builds. Give Ebon Jaguar and Hellbringer superior premium pods and anyone using those pods will have a better mech than someone who doesn't.

>>173150160

They're powerful beyond measure, but have fallen from grace, and so doing, lost all influence and power they once held.

>>173150395
>purifier
Shit fox with either 8x c-SPLs or 7x c-SPLs and ECM. I've seen some people build it with 4x SRM4's and 4x ERSLs for a nice alpha strike punch.

But it's still a kit fox, runs 100kph as a 30ton light with poor mobility and poor defensive capabilities. And all those builds I mentioned? Hot as fuck on the thing.

The kit foxes before were utter garbage, true, so in comparison the purifier seems superb. But it's still not actually meta.

>Scorch
Battlemech. Not an omnimech. Also, 4x missiles and 2x ballistic tie it to the brawler role pretty effectively, and since it has no quirks whatsoever it is rather easy to dismantle from range. Some people run it with 2x gauss 2x PPC, but that's highly ineffective considering it's got knuckledragging arms and a giant ghetto booty.

>Spirit bear
Kodiak 3 is "free." It's still the penultimate kodiak. I would argue that the energy fist kodiaks are just as good at brawling as the spirit bear. 8x or 10x medium pulses and nothing but heatsinks gives you a frightening alpha. That or 4x LPL 4x ERML for a 40-by-40 double hitter.

The spirit bear is an effective brawler because of MASC, but all the nerfs to the chassis itself have made it barely capable of fending for itself.

>>173161350
You get the UV for 6x or 8x UAC2 shenanigans.

LBX's you're just desperately padding damage. Not really doing anything worthwhile.

Now UAC2's, that's where the money is. 12-16 damage every 0.72 seconds, double tap that calmly and once you get the hang of it, you're doing 24-32 damage every 0.72 seconds to a single component from 891 meters away.

Oh gee whiz, you can do the 2x LPL 3x ERML torso turret build with the ERML in the side torso. Hope your 21 DHS can manage that heat tho.

>Ebon Jaguar: "Do you like dual gauss memery? No longer will your fragile ass be limited with a low profile, now you can make BOTH of your fragile instant-explosion-when-hit weapons onto painfully obvious outcroppings while stripping all armor off your arms!"

It's twin guass with 7 tons of ammo. On the ebon jag. It's like you're asking to get fucking raped by anyone with half a decent aim.

>mist lynx: Hey, now you can do 30 damage with er small lasers instead of having to take those two SRM4's with not enough ammo to actually kill a target!

It's a fucking MIST LYNX. This is the same shit as the purifier. If you go 6x ERSL, you have no ECM, you have mongoloid arms that blow off in a stiff breeze, and you have so much strapped tonnage in useless shit it's not even funny.

>Ice Ferret: "Wait, we put you in the game? Holy shit what were WE smoking... here, have a missile side torso for the other side and an ECM for the other. You're the 45 ton clan cicada now."

So you're telling me you're going to spend $15 to make your 5x clan small pulse ice ferret have ECM? By stripping out a DHS on the already desperately poorly cooled thing? Even with ECM, it's worse than an arctic cheetah.

and the missile hardpoint for the right side torso is in no way "pay-2-win" when you get the same firepower capability as the X-5 has had since time immemorial.


Like seriously, can you niggers fucking think about potential builds before you fly off your rocker claiming "OP!" ?

>>173166626
What I want to know is were there complaints like this about the Jester, the Ilya Muromets, Top Dog or Deaths Knell when those were announced or released?

Those hero mechs provided the same sort concise build possibilities for maligned or poor chassis.

>>173167384
>the same sort concise build possibilities
Except they aren't omni mechs.

>>173167382
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

>>173167575
They provided the same new sort of build possibilities as these clan hero mechs.

Ilya muromets enabled the triple UAC5 build more efficiently compared to the CTF-4X with its 4x ballistics.

Jester allowed you to forego missiles and have 2 extra energy hardpoints.

Top Dog went full hellbringer before the hellbringer was a thing by allowing you to put on 9x energy harpdoints.

Deaths Knell allowed the awful commando chassis to have at least 1 competent variant by having 4x energy hardpoints between the arms.

Or are you going to tell me you and every other nigger complaining about an extra hardpoint are going to buy the hero, then slap them on non-cbill boosted variants just because?

>>173099401
Because it gives its life for Aiur.

>>173168932
Shame it's the gargoyle, though.

>>173165517
IMO the best hero is ice ferret. It'll actually be decent enough with ECM as a crutch.

....Hi there!

No memes below this line
__________________________

>>173169479
>Decent enough

And... how exactly is that?

4x energy? You mean 4x medium pulses, leaving you with one additional DHS for a total of 12 DHS? Well I run that build on my IFR prime, and let me tell you: It's awful, even if it's the best the IFR-PRIME can do. With how the heavy medium lasers are going to be (higher heat than c-ERML or c-MPL) those 4x extra DHS you can stuff on will barely be able to mitigate the increase in heat. 4x Heavy small lasers and 2x SRM6 on the other hand will be okay, but again, it's literally a facehugging, 5 tons heavier X-5.

The only way to really utilize the ECM side torso is to stick it onto a non-cbill boosted variant like the IFR-A, but at that point ask yourself: are you fucking retarded by spending $15 on a SINGLE OMNIPOD FOR ECM?

There are lots of elder kong members around like Vass, Harabec, Fatts, and so on.

If a show that had the budget of 5 cups of ramen and a staff of 10 people, with the director having done 90% of the work and tons of newbie VAs, managed to gain enough traction to reach almost 2hu/Kancolle levels of popularity, making an MWO anime wouldn't be impossible. Given that we have the 3D models and a story and/or skits to work with, it could be done.

Too bad the one person in Kong who new how to work with 3D models neither cares about us or MWO anymore and is also busy being Van Gogh 2.00 while traveling the globe. That and none here as the time, ability, or care to put effort into making real OC anymore. It's unfortunate, but frankly we've been spoiled by the few drawfags and photoshop wizards that have graced this general.

>>173174297
You know... this is bullshit. Look, I get the idea that mechs like the Ice Ferret and Mist Lynx are shit and are made less shit with torso pods with actual weapons. I also get the fact that people want to not just buy pods, but have multiples of them for outfitting variants of a chassis.
Isn't there some way of meeting a compromise that involves real money for PGI for a player to either obtain the Hero OR the pods, or both?
I'd fucking pay MC for a few more Kitfox ear pods, I know others would too (as an example).

Okay,

we are playing the same Mechwarrior 3rd edition campaign for 10 years by now, our group now consisting of three players and one GM.

My character is Nadja Vargas:

Davion Noble Draconis March Noble/army brat

turned a very young war criminal/ POW

Turned slave, turned Mech-Gladiator in a Locust, turned Pirate, turned slave turned Slave...again and finally a Marian patrician...looooong story.

Here is she, 19 years now, serving in the Secunda Legio , Fifth Cohort in the Command Manipel

Everything about alpha strike lasers could have been resolved by using more IRL heat mechanics
> Heat bar is linear
> Higher delta heat cools faster than being cold

This means a steady stream of heat would keep you near max heat, max heat gives max cooling, and thus steady damage output gives the best DPS. Alpha strike gets indirectly nerfed because you need to cool down to alpha strike. That means being at inefficient cooling level, which means a long cooldown between alpha strikes, thus low DPS potential.

Really makes you think, huh?

My Name? Oh, sorry.... Its Race Fitzlee, I’m a pilot Sargent in Lindon’s Company on Kennard. My Mount is a Locust.... its rumored that my Great Great Grandfather won it a skirmish using nothing but a shoulder fired inferno missile... Its the same mech my grandfather used to bring down The Griffin that my father and now my older brother use in defense of House Davion.

I was never the popular son, I was born with a genetic abnormality that is common in those of low birth on our home world...a hold over from a plague that ravaged the world 100’s of years ago, It caused my hair color to be White...Im not a albino mind you....just that my hair is white, that with my mothers families pale gray eyes...led to allot of teasing. My father always took my hair color to be a sign of mothers infidelity so when she passed during a Liaotion border raid, he blamed me publicly a sent me away...hey sunny side right? he did give me the locust...the cockpit may smell of 100’s of years of sweaty ass....but its 100’s of year’s of sweaty Fitzlee Ass.

I managed to contract into Lindon’s with a slight reduction in salvage rights ( after all I had no battle experience....I was lucky they took me). There they taught me the skills needed to survive and their infectious hatred of house Kurita ( “Remember Riely’s” all Toasts end)

I have been in a few tussles but in my first big fight a Heat Spew’n Hell spawned Warhammer blew off my mounts right arm...nothing even left to salvage, and of course it was a hit and run so we couldnt pick the dead....

So here I am....a disowned son in a damaged mech fighting for scrap.....aint life grand

::::raises his glass:::

“Remember Riely’s”

So, my fellow FedRats, what do you think the anthem of the Federated Suns is? I'm thinking something like the following really speaks to the heart of the Fed - For Freedom, For Justice, For Liberty, and For Heroes!

What's the best build for my bonus Cbill CTF-3L? This thing is weird as fuck to use because its arms hang so low.

Just because I claim citizenship on the Planet El Dorado in the Crucis March, it doesn't mean that I have to be a good guy. I am not sure where people get the idea that The Federated Suns are "The Good Guys" . Hanse Davion certainly didn't act like a good guy. On his wedding day, as a gift to his new wife he was quoted as saying "And for your wedding gift, I give to you the Cappellan Confederation" thus plunging the Inner Sphere into the 4th Succession War. Hanse Davion and later Victor Ian Steiner Davion held The Captain General of the Free World's League's son hostage on New Avalon, obstincibly for "treatment" of the boy's Lukemia, but in actuallity it was to ensure the good faith of House Marik who would be essentially paying to have the FedCom Military refurbished to fight the clans, something the FedComs themselves might be able to accomplish if it wasn't for the fact that the Federated Suns' economy was in the toilet due to the ill advised war of '39 which saw the Draconis Combine retake many worlds lost during the 4th succession war, as well as ComStar putting an embargo on the Suns. Not only this, but after The Captain-General's son finally died of the cancer the NAIS was supposed to have been treating, Hanse Davion gave the go-ahead to an ill concieved plan to replace Joshua Marik with a Body Double! THAT IS LOW!! Anyway...The Federated Suns are no more good (or Evil) than the rest of the Inner Sphere (with the possible exception of House Liao) The Davions are simply...Human.

You COULD run a Dual goss build on the Ebin. Or maybe Dual UAC10s and some lasers. With those high up ballistics it could be worth it.

>>173211671
A dual Gauss build on it is kind of a wonky ass meme though for its crits and tonnage, even if the mounts are high your builds will be awkward.
UAC10's sure, but... eh.

The fucks that went and cried to Russ though really need to fuck off.

>>173211671
Dual gauss and arms stripped you get 7 tons of ammo to play with on the ebon jag. It's like a slightly faster, more fragile version of the Jagermech champion. It's still an ebon jaguar, using 100% guaranteed to explode upon losing armor side torsos.

Dual UAC10's isn't all that impressive either. Either you strip arms and get 10 tons of ammo for the UAC10's, which isn't that much, or you go with 6 tons of ammo and 4x ersmall (or likely heavy small lasers).

The ballistic LT did enable the 4X UAC2 silly build. That would have been nice. Or the 2x UAC5 4x ERML.

Dual UAC20 on the other hand, while giving you 7 tons of ammo... ghost heat + your ammo has to be put into the now un-armoured arms. The instant you peek, the arm blows off, taking half your ammo with it. shiggy diggy.

The Ebon jags ballistic LT really isn't going to be a big deal, even if it's high mounted. You're actively making a choice not to be able to take 3x energy by taking that pod instead.

I want to love the Zeus. Always have.

Love Duane Loose's original depiction

love the upgraded art for the Zeus-X, etc.... but....

In actual specs.... it's...just a let down. Seriously.

It carries barely 2/3 it's theoretical max armor, leaving it with protection a 55-60 tonner could theoretically match.

It has decent mobility, and heat dissipation, but it's armament, really puts fear into nobody. LRM15 is useful...for 8 shots, but then you are down to a large laser, AC5, and 1x Medium Laser (2x Mlasers in MWO/Battletech). Yeah, they will soon put the 6T into operation, with a PPC in place of the AC5... but it still feels lacking compared to Thunderbolts, Warhammers, Marauders, Archers and Orions, all of which are lighter and cheaper.

With locked engines, in this game, the biggest problem the Zeus has (over-engined for an Assault Mech) is not fixable.

I just can't see a situation where I'd take one over a lot of other options... be it the above listed Heavies, or "true" Assaults, like the Awesome, Battlemaster or Stalker.

What are your thoughts on the Zeus? ( I still use them because "fluff" and I prefer not to min max, but... seriously... I can't be the only one underwhelmed by the "Pride of the LCAF".)

Guys Lao Hu when?

The other major complaints, the Mist Lynx, Hellbringer and Mad Dog were also completely pointless to complain about.

Mist Lynx could now run either 6x small pulse lasers with 1 extra DHS for a total of 11 DHS, or 6x ERSL and a total of 14 DHS. That's either 36 damage alpha that is extremely heat inefficient, or 30 damage alpha that's more heat efficient and can already be done with 3x ERSL 2x SRM4 build. This was a case of plebbit niggers complaining about the clan version of the deaths knell.

Hellbringer 2x energy RT only enables one meta nigger build to be run slightly more efficiently, and that's the 2x LPL 4x ERML build. You'd get ECM, mk1 TC and 21 total DHS. Hot, but with moderate enough cooling to be able to fire with sufficient intervals. It's still a hellbringer, though. No armor quirks, easily defined torsos, poor toros yaw and pitch values, and with no armour on the arms also easily focused. Plebbit meta niggers complaining about 1 potential build.

Mad Dog ballistic side torsos. Whoop-de-fucking-doo. With dual uac 10's you get 7.5 tons of ammo and a mk1 targeting comp. With dual gauss or lbx20s or uac20s you get 4.5 tons of ammo. You get a non-jumping, non-quirked but torso mounted version of the IV-four.

On things that don't fuck me in the ass ratio-wise /have some respect for its consumers.

I'm a player way back from the beta days , just lurking around to see what's going in the /gerg/ threads and what the general consensus is about MWO

and I'm not sure how much the devs have changed their attitudes/demeanor

>>173214182
Like what? Alcohol? A new phone that does the same thing as the last one? And what is this ratio you speak of, what is the science behind that? And what do you mean lack of respect for customers? If anything PGI listen to their stupid ass customers more than they should because now nothing gets done when every change gets the forums flooded with complaints by old men.

If not $20, then what should the Uziel be worth with three variants (with mech bays) and some extra things thrown in the bag on the way out if you buy it before some arbitrary date?

>>173214402
>>173213323
20$ isn't that bad a deal for 3 mechs. I'm more concerned that the Uziel won't be able to do very much with as few hardpoints as it has. They're all of different types and few in number.

>>173214574
I'm actually considering buying the Annihilator package. I'm not usually for IS mechs but that thing is a fuckturret and looks fun as hell to boat all kinds of ballistics on.

>>173214574
Uziel will do very well actually. IS 50 tonner with every mount being cockpit level or above. The only thing it's lacking in hardpoints is a third missile, everything else looks as it should be for a 50 tonner. Due to its shape it will be relatively small as well, maybe even as small as the Crab. The only concern is the width, that might make arm mounts awkward to use when trying to shoot from behind teammates but because it's going to be small I doubt you'll be hitting geometry too much.

>>173214653
Do eeet

If you're okay with STD Maulerslow then you will be happy with a 100 ton Mauler+. Barring nerfs a 4x RAC/5 Annie will be like walking around with 24x AC/5s. Maybe a bit hot and short ranged but you'll out DPS virtually every other mech in the game including Dire Poofs.

>>173215292
RACs are not going to shoot six times as fast as normal ACs stop being stupid.

>>173215348
Pretty sure they'll behave like a machinegun with spinup, spindown and jam chance mechanics. Firing 5 rounds that do 1 damage per pellet in a second.

Anni looks fun and all but you only really want one of them to run ballistics and >300 max engine rating.

>>173215793
Not only will speed be a massive issue but crit slots as well. You can pretty much forget about running Endo.

>>173215348
t. shivering clammer

>>173219310
You know PGI won't make normal ACs, LBXs and UACs irrelevant, so it's much more likely to assume RACs will just behave like mega projectile machineguns.

>>173215030
>The only concern is the width, that might make arm mounts awkward to use when trying to shoot from behind teammates
Different guy here. I actually got pretty good at shooting enemies with an arm mounted gauss from directly behind teammates with the EBJ. Super excited for the Uziel, and I hope it enables me to do similar shit.

>>173215752
>>173219543
In table top they could fire up to 6 times faster, but had an increasing chance to jam every time.

I forgot the exact rules but it was like jam on a 6 or higher, then a 5 or higher, then a 4 or higher, ect. They'll probably make them have an increasing chance to jam the more you fire them, or have an overheat mechanic similar to MASC.

>>173222167
You can do XL300, Gauss with 3 tons of ammo, 4ML and 2 Jump Jets.

>>173222191
>Rotary AC/2 / Rotary AC/5
>Extremely rapid firing Autocannons with rotating barrels. They can jam if fired for too long. The spinning barrels will likely have a ramp up time before they start firing, and a ramp down time after they stop.

hmm reading has really opened my mind
if you actually think they'll fire six times faster than regular ACs then you're just plain stupid

>>173222347
People will cry about it and it will have ghostheat on 2 or more

>>173222347

Blackjack likes to shoot things other people are shooting and get kill steals all day, can't do that if you're the one carrying.

>>173219543
They can still keep them relevant by making them throw out very low damage, low velocity pellets (2 damage at most) while still running at 6x damage rate. This is more than enough of a drawback on UACs, it will be enough for RACs.

I really wonder how they'll handle some of the later Jihad era stuff, especially since a bunch of them are melee-related or cockpit control schemes that can't be easily simulated in the game.

I really want to see what VSPLs would be like. Technically so simple to implement since burn times are relevant in this game, but maybe it may end up being too powerful. Like, its 11 damage already for the boosted LPL so would this end up doing like 13 up close?

newfag here, what trial mech should i use for the newfag boost?

>>173242278
You should try different trial mechs, using them costs nothing and you get the cadet bonuses from just playing matches. That way you'll get some feel for how different builds, weight classes and weapons play.

>>173242278
start with mediums or heavies. Lights have certain rolls to perform that aren't usually new player friendly, same with assaults.

How come there are Marauder Two Cs everywhere?
