I'm not sure if this has been suggested before or anything, but what about a mech that specialises in using lightning/electrical weapons?
I think it would be cool as an A or B class mech but I'm not sure about what weapons/abilities it could have. Any suggestions feel free to share :)

My immediate idea was a C-class mech that had a device inside of it that turned the direct "shockwave" of weapon impact into energy, and used that to power the damage/AOE of a secondary weapon that launches a blast that releases a damaging AOE of electricity. the problem with my immediate idea is it would probably need a Technician or a healing of some sort. Maybe the speciality of the mech is the device's ability to turn impact into healing energy.

My other idea was of a teamfight assassin A-class with the same secondary but without the device.

i actually had i thought a while ago similar to this, a support mech, a or b class, maybe as a G2 pred?

 

• uses a Breacher-Volt, an electrified breacher that applies a debuff similar to ism item, but not as intense, stacks 3 times up to maybe a third of what the ism does. that way its not op, but definitely annoying.

 

• secondary is a EOC-Arch, fires up pucks that can be remote detonated, but have an arching effect to mechs within a radius (id about numbers, change for balance) that after initial damage to closest mech, does reduced additional damage as it archs from mech to mech. and pucks can be remote detonated.

 

• ability, not sure, could be a boost to the damage/range of the archs, could be a damage aoe around the mech, but electrical in nature, gives enemies in range(im thinking like the incini ability range at max heat) a ism in the face. cooldown would be whatever is balanced.

thoughts? balance problems? hit me.
