So you think that light Mechs are awesome? Zippy and hard to hit? The ideal harassers? But which ones are the best? Read more to find out!
5. Cougar
Image
With the ability to carry ECM and its inherent agility (jump jets FTW!), the Cougar is ideal for hit and run attacks. Two Clan ER PPCs give it a good punch at all ranges. Keeping its left arm empty makes for a nicely disposable shield.
What makes the Cougar great:
Stealthy
Agile and hart to hit
Can engage at all ranges
Left-arm shield

Start at: 0:49
4. Flea
Image
Carrying MASC can give this speedy little Mech an extra speed boost, making it nigh impossible to hit. Equip a Guardian ECM to become pretty much invisible and five medium lasers to increase your Flea’s bite.
What makes the Flea great:
Tiny profile, tiny target
Incredibly fast
ECM capability
Ideal scout
Flea build info:
Start at: 1:22
3. Kit Fox
Image
Combining parts from the Kit Fox Clan OmniMech variants can make for a great Streak SRM boat, giving you a light Mech with incredible firepower. Make sure to fire your missiles alternatively, to avoid ghost heat!
What makes the Kit Fox great:
Great little brawler
The incredible amount of missiles
Strong left arm shield
Kit Fox build info:
Start at: 2:26
2. Pirate’s Bane Locust
Image
With four medium lasers, three double heatsinks, and an XL engine, this is another Mech destined for hit and run attacks that will devastate your foes. Stealth armor gives this Hero Mech a very interesting aspect, making it also versatile as a sneaky scout.
What makes the Pirate’s Bane Locust great:
Invisible to radar, thanks to ECM
No weapons in arms that can be shot off
Higher turn and acceleration rates
Leg armor bonus
Pirate’s Bane Locust build info:
Start at: 4:47
1. Wolfhound 2
Image
Six medium pulse lasers make for a speedy little laser boat. Add in four double heat sinks and shave off armor where it’s not needed. With so many pulse lasers you’ll have to monitor your heat levels.
Daniel can't really remember when exactly he became a gamer, he just knows that it was a long time ago and involved something called EGA graphics. Oh and he sees some games as a form of art...
