Mecha Review Of The Yallan By Pat Willis#224534

We'll be looking at the crystal based life form of a  mecha the Yallan today. These are 95 ton monsters requiring a heavy skill of 50 to pilot. Normal going price for purchasing one is 17,000 Ferrite, 14,500 Bioptics, and 375 Crystal. It will come with 2 Setaline Torch fire weapons, 2 Chemthrower fire weapons, 2 Hyper Amp laser weapons, and 4 Veridian Beam laser weapons.

So as usual the question is, are they worth all the resources to buy and expend in leveling them up? I own a couple so I'll do the review based on those, both are at my current level of 109. Alright to start with the build bonuses on this mecha are as follows, Fire Damage, Laser Damage, Trample shield, Splash shield, Fork, Fire Shield, Ice Shield, and Laser Shield with a missile vulnerability much like the Jadoon and Novum/Klarn mecha.

They have 5 Cockpit slots, 4 Chassis slots, 5 Engine slots, and 7 Shield slots(at my current level mind you). Now that is a pretty decent amount to work with, and if you aren't afraid of investing in your mecha, some of the higher end equipment pieces for this weight class can really make it shine. As equipment seems to go to hell at 100 tons this is a great mecha to go nuts with experimenting on seeing as it is at that cut off point.

The main focus of this mecha is fire damage, with a secondary specialization in laser weapons. As fire has an impressive selection of both niode, and non niode weapons your choices here are very much open, likewise with the lasers. But seeing as it does seem to prioritize fire weapon damage over laser I would load that up pretty solid.

As with most of the larger mechas you have room to play around with your customizing, and the impressive amount of shield slots makes for some great combinations and added defense. This is not a fast mecha by any means mind you, and engines will only eek so much out of it. So keep that in mind when building yours up. These are some very decent heavy hitters on the battle field and are a good addition to any squad looking to add some BBQ support to the team.
