The Krampus is the first 70 ton crystal Mecha available to newer players. The asking price for one of these quadruped monsters is a reasonable 5500f, 4400b and 190 crystal. I have found them a tough, reliable workhorse for the player in the level 37 to 50 range.
Primarily a projectile based mecha, the Krampus is the backbone of many mid-range players line-ups. Easily upgradeable, pilots soon find, that for a quad mecha, the Krampus becomes quite a nimble sniper! Initially armed with 2 rail cannons, and 5 rail guns, it packs a punch right off the bat, especially since Rail Cannons aren't available until level 42!!! This is why you will see this chassis well represented in KotM and CW!!
Most pilots (myself included) soon strip all of the stock weapons out and add the most powerful projectile weapons we've collected up to that point, making the Krampus an even deadlier direct fire, front line fighter!
The only drawback to this well designed mecha (in my opinion) is that you cannot upgrade it past level 50!! But until then, it is a very worthy addition to ANY stable of mecha!! Plus if you can afford to keep them while upgrading your line up, The Krampus is a great mech for events like rainbow!!
There have been a few mecha that I have regretted buying, as soon as I paid for them, but the Krampus is NOT one of them!!! I think that this is one mecha that EVERY aspiring pilot should have in their line-up!! It's a tough, no nonsense fighter that doesn't disappoint!
