With a ten percent boost to photon output, the consistent damage this can put out will quickly chip away at even the toughest of mechs. Along with that, it has increased defensive capabilities, allowing for it's laser shields to be boosted by it's photon output increase. The increase in it's fire shielding comes from the fire nets being directly boosted, with the light the fire produces being absorbed and turned into more photon power. With those alone one might think that the usefulness of the power relay is evident, but it also has a chance for that big damage spark when stacked deep on a mech.
I personally like to stack them on my Dilophos, a five star laser mech, with Hawkeye Marksmen cockpit computers. Ideally, this results in an effect that mimics Shriekers in that you are always doing double damage because you can easily stack up over one hundred percent damage on your lasers. So My suggestion? Run out and by some today. At 1465 ferrite, 925 Bioptics, and 39 Niodes, these should not be a major drag on your coffers. And after all, isn't your mech worth it?
