Nephilax Review By Brian D. Wise#17026

Probably the most sought after prize, the nephilax. Like the zadok it is a craftsman mech, and like all craftsmen mechs it is well balanced mech. Unlike the zadok, its is geared more towards projectile than all around, but it does have a boost to all weapon categories. it has a better shield at higher levels than its CW prize counterpart, but lacks the equipment slots that it does.

Its biggest value is in its upgrade cost, from 20 tons on up every mech either required crystal or niodes to upgrade it as well as the ferrite and bioptic that every mech needs. However this 40 ton gem require no crystal at all to level, this gives it the most useful life to those lucky few in the early game to earn this mech. It also benefits those players who don't earn this until way later, it is cheap to upgrade and gives you a inexpensive mech to upgrade to help fill those specialty battles later on.

Its biggest draw back is its requirements on how to receive this mech, you have to be the last man standing at the end of a KOTM event. This is one of the most difficult things to do within the game. and getting enough of these mechs to help field out your slots late game for new specialty like the 40tons...well if you can take full advantage of a kotm, you will eventually be able to take full advantage of this highly prized mech, the only way to really show those other players that you are the king of the mountain.
