This is the build I've been thinking of running, getting protectorates tomorrow when they are out. Basically mangler IG Gets in close and gets a free crit from the range 1 fearlessness, other one sits a bit further back with pred.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Looks solid, not sure how long will IGC survive by flying face on all the time though.

Yeah, thats the only real concern I have with it.. If it doesn't go all that well from play testing, can just change it to something more solid I guess

I've always preferred and done better with D.

I would swap their gear. Put the HLC on C, so that if they kill the HLC bot you don't lose your most dangerous damage causer and gunner ability with the same ship.

Yeah Fearlessness is not a good idea on an IG. They REALLY do NOT like being in R1 generally speaking (unless its like just one enemy ship). I don't see this idea turning out well...

Fearlessness Does not work well on them. i have been trying to make it work, but it has to many requirements for it to trigger. and staying in someone else's arc on purpose is 1. Completely Counter intuitive and 2. really hard w/out bumping. basically It triggers once on first approach, then after that who knows!

The other thing i would mention is if you are going to use fearlessness an TRY to be at range one, why would you NOT use autoblaster? when it works.... IT WORKS!!!! lol sensor jammer is not a bad idea either, atleast on C who i assume would be your Jouster based on Cannon selection!

If you crack the code man please feel free to share! you are not alone, but right now it just makes more sense to use crackshot

As a Brobots player, I suggest putting HLC on both of them, and going B,D. If you like C though that's cool. If you know what kind of squads people are playing there, you can go A. Always use B. I think with C, you can really exploit different things. For example, you could go PTL + AS. Or you could go, PTL + Baffle. There's always the solid list, CS + Glitterstim. If you want to keep your list kind of how it is. Switch Fear with VI. Just my advice. Hope it helped.
