Red Ant Mecha Review From Sten Hugo Hiller

The Red Ant Mech is sorely underestimated by most players. But it has certain strong points in its favor.First strong point is it cost 0 Crystal or Niodes, and upgrading is just a few lousy ferrite and bioptics.Second strong point is that unlike a lot of other Mechs it continues improving after lvl 50.Third strong point is that the Equipment you will put on it is also very cheap, for cockpit the best choice is actually cup holder, as it gives improved crit-kill. The two niode cockpits offers a little bit of laser damage or freeze, which on a laser mech is no real improvement.

For chassis you have a cheap 10 Dodge in reinforced joints, you can pay 9 Niodes to get 12 Dodge with the hip actuator, but not worth the price in my opinion. For your eventual 3 Shields I would recommend the viridel,crabworth and arkani.

The Niode versions are better but cost 8 Niodes each. At lvl 12 when you can enter the circuit fights you have 2 weaponslots, +15% to laserdamage and +10 speed.At lvl 50 when a lot of other mechs stop improving you have +10 speed, +65% laserdamage and 8 weaponslots.

At lvl 100 Your Red Ant is stil at +10 speed,+65% laser damage, has 15 weapon slots, Shield 15 and laser/missile/projectile shield 10.To get yor Red Ant to lvl 100 will cost you 3k bioptics and ferrite, a bargain you should not pass up. Buy Your Red Ants today, use the next month to Level them up, and when the next Ant rush KOTM arrives you are ready.
