If properly equipped with higher end ice and projectile weapons this little mecha could be a nasty surprise for those who would seek to challenge it. Of course as with all mechas it gets equipment slots and more weapon slots as it levels up, as well as bonuses to its ice and projectile weapons. It also packs the slow ability by design to help out with clogging an opponent mechas joints and gears thus slowing it for better and easier hits.
As it is a lower tonnage mecha don't expect a lot of equipment slots, there is only so much room after all. But you can build up the engines so that speed is respectable, cockpit is minimal so investment in niode gear for extra accuracy is recommended, as well as with the chassis for the dodge potential.
Shielding is likewise on the trim side so choose wisely. All in all these are fine little mechas that will do their best before they are blasted apart. If equipped right with both equipment and weapons they have the potential to be a tough opponent mecha that can stand up to some serious punishment. As a fan of ice mechas I can strongly recommend this ice/slug thrower combo. It may not be pretty, it may not pack a ton of slots, but if utilized right and in the right spot in your formation this mecha can and will shine.
