When you think of the best 90 ton mech, what comes to mind? Most people say the Regis, or the Ignis, or even the defensive stalworth Aspis. But what about the Antithesis? Why is it regarded as the weakest of the 4 niode 90 ton mechs?
Maybe it’s the lack of engine slots, making it the second slowest of the bunch, only faster than the Aspis. Maybe it’s because it has the lowest armor of the 4. Maybe it’s the lack of cool and fun extras like fork or any multipliers.
I personally think the Antithesis is the best of the 90ton niode mechs. It has the highest base precision and dodge fully leveled of the 4. A whopping 47 for each. It has my favorite built in weapon multiplier, the projectile bonus. And it comes with a slew of other great bonuses:Trample, Slow, Freeze, Crit-Kill, & Wide Fork. It even comes with cockpit and 6 chassis slots, along with 4 engine and 4 shield slots. This mech is a utility marvel. It is fantastic in causing disruption and chaos and should not be overlooked.
The Antithesis is a very versatile mech and can fill many roles in your lineup. At one point they were the gold prize in Clan Wars for several months. Yet I still don’t see many out there. Maybe it’s time we go back and look at this 90 ton Black Knight. Let the creative juices flow and see what we can come up with. It may not be the easiest to use, but once you get down to it, it can be the most fun. I’ll be out there with my Anti’s on front line, Grim, Hades, Hel, Osiris, and Deathscythe leading the way.
