Not that useful, especially the low defense lol it's paper, Ahck I need help. XD My uncle pisses me off lagi tumatakbo/nagtatago pagnaglalaban kami sa ibang arenas. But somehow he manages to return fire, which is a big problem for me if in case I get hit by his GLs

Haha, any AC that gets hit by GL rounds is in a problem. Except maybe if you're a tank.

Anyways, I'll recommend that you switch the Cronus to the 99UL core. There is a significant bias in this design towards making it light, so much so that, as you said, the defensive aspect of it is compromised. The core change should buff that up. Or if you don't feel the core, change the arms to a set with better defense. Macaque will work as the RJ legs are pretty low drain enough.

That said, stability is another problem, but I feel the original Cicada + RA setup, so I'm not going to change that if it were my AC. Gotta have some style still, you know? Hehe.

I'd go for Vulture2 since it has the better acceleration of the two, but you should go for Gull if you're aiming for serious hang time. On that note, have you tried putting on an OB core for this, for the all-important RJ slide jump? The /UL or UL2 are some good choices.

I like the combo, it hits hard, can damage race with the best of them (if need be) and heats up targets quick. HOWEVER, I don't think it's for this AC. The overall range is short, and that may the real root of this AC's problems. I suggest you try switching out either the Ghost2 or the HP for a rifle of some sort, or maybe even Pixie3.

if you want to rush someone, make sure you got some good defense so you'd still come out in one piece.

you can't afford to trade shots especially with you having paper-thin armor. i would recommend that you turn this thing into a mid-range sniper with the rs+1hp combo. it's pretty accurate at midrange and puts you in a safer distance from your opponent.

i'm guessing your uncle uses a quad? if so, the harpy and the single vert packs (73mv and mv2) are a good harrasing tools against quads who like to backpedal or hug the ground while trying to get a firing solution on you. ground torps and standard missle relations+verts can really ruin their day.

Yeah, you guys are right. My AC got fcked up by my uncle using paper as my AC's armor, lol.

Okay, I updated this AC coz my sister's done playing my PS2, lol. Anyway, here's the new frame for the Jester's beta Variant. Any help would be appreciated.

Feel free if you want to improve the RM a bit, but it's actually intended to be dropped early in the battle for more mobility.
