This thread is to spark a debate on whether or not HellFire Armor is better than Lava Scope and Electron for physical builds.

Here are arguably the two best physical builds in the game.

Now these two have proven to be extremely effective... but I've recently noticed a new candidate for best physical. Behold!


Aegis



Could HellFire be the best torso? Lets look at it's prodominant pros and con vs Electron and Lava Scope.

Pros
- Gives 30 bullets
- Gives 5 Explosive Resistance
- Gives 25 more health than Electron or 45 more health than Lava Scope.

Con
- 38 kg heavier than Lava Scope or 25 kg heavier than Electron.

Here are a few stats that could be either a pro or con, but don't really sway one way or another.

- 100 base energy
- 30 energy regen
- 130 max heat
- 45 cooling

I would honestly take HellFire over either. Simply for the fact that it gives 30 bullets and more health. I would be willing to sacrifice weight to use it.

So what do you think? What would you use? Reply below!
psst, it would be nice if the owners of the mechs shown here could comment their thoughts and opinions too.

Personally, I think Lava Scope is the best. This is because it has a steady cooldown, and comparing the Lava Scope with the Hellfire, it has more effective weapons. Hopefully, these two mechs will be able to battle it out someday, I'm eager to find out myself.

Lava Scope vs HellFire Amor

-16 kg (+30 bullets) - 15 kg (+45 HP) +38 kg (more weight) = + 7 kg

for ...

5 heat resistance, -20 heat, - 5 cooling, +5 energy regeneration

=

+ 7 kg
+ 5 heat resistance
-20 heat
- 5 cooling
+5 energy regeneration

Depends on against which kind of mech they have to fight

Galaxus A will straight kill all 3 of these without kits. =) It depends on the mech you are facing. Essentially the hellfire torso is great at mauling down heat mechs as a physical mech. Lavascope does the same thing but you can have a slightly higher heat cap using just 1 module. Galaxus A does well against other physicals but can suffer due to low heat cap. The Electron defense does best against energy but lacks when fighting heat mechs and physicals.

This is my input. in 3v3 I would pair this with 2 other well-rounded mech. Helfire does best against 2 types of mechs but needs something to handle the latter.
