Sever Mech Review

Where to start with this mech. It's an upper mid level monster. If an Anzu had a 'HULK' side, this would be it. Dropping in at level 43 the Sever will set you back 18500 ferrite, 18500 bioptics, and a cool 130 niodes. This ice-white maiden is principally geared towards Ice and Laser load-outs. She weighs in at 75 tons and, tbh, can be a bit of a wallowy old 'Hector' as far as speed goes. Herein lies the big down side to this machine. It is a relatively sluggish mech with a thirst for ice and laser, so the smart money says 'load up with laser' otherwise you'll struggle to get your shots off.

Now the plus sides to the old girl; She can take some punishment before she falls. In the upper reaches (levels 60 - 70) you can stack the beast up with 5 shield units. This gives a lovely spread for damage reduction in every weapon class.

Additionally, the Sever, being a 75 ton machine, straddles the level requirements for quite a lot of the available equipment, so it is a good piece of kit if you have to swap gear around as you work your formations. Performs well with Delta shielding, but will tickle along quite happily with Gamma tech on board.

Overall, a tidy bit of kit that will hold it's own against the better mid level weaponry. Not a super-fit machine re' speed, but a great laser base that will shore up your ranks right up into the higher levels. Not expensive and not to be sniffed at.
