The mech is concentrated on the close combat. In ranged, it try to close the distance with five jump jets while shoot down Ultra AC/5. In close range, it starts to shoot the lasers to damaging the enemy and heat it up to activate TSM, then on the following turn it quickly dismantle the enemy leg by a kick with talons. It have good armor, and even if it is breached its most critical area are already armored so it can withstand against tandem SRMs very well.
The problem is its low damage output on the long range, but C3 computer and tag can make up the problem. Logistics is also a problem, for you need to buy the heavy lasers and Ultra AC to the clans merchants if it is broken. But otherwise, it can be a deadly close combat mech.
An another problem would be its XL engine. Although it can't be disabled after the armor is breached, but if you lost either torsos it is destroyed anyways. But it is not so easy to acquire a clans XL engine either.... Forgo the armored XL engine and get the light engine would be a solution, though.
