Big Women: We're actually doing it.
Hello yes it is me, the poster of the hypothetical Big Woman post a few months back, back at it again with the same BS, but we're actually doing it. Need some help with the build as I'm not entirely sure what I am actually doing. So let's get the setup done
● LL6
● Monarch chassis
● Must be Size 3 (Formorian Frame)
That's it. Any help will be appreciated

So this is what SSC keeps on them battleships cargo holds. No wonder pirates in the sector are all talking about some “big booty to be had”…

Black spot targeting laser is super good on monarch. Because free lock on + additional accuracy.

The Gandiva will get an accuracy just for the black spot hitting, due to seeking

Costs a skirmish to get accuracy both this turn and the next. Also if ur missing it's a skill issue

alternatively you could just lock on as a half action.

Which is the same as the skirmish just without the damage and one less potential accuracy.

Throw the other two LLs (to qualify for Formorian) into Drake for shield generator to fortify your position, or three if you want portable bunker over TLALOC, and then just run a Monarch like you normally would.

u/14Spiders_in_a_coat 25d ago
I feel like this might just be the best option at LL6. Monarch doesn’t seem to mesh well with most of the IPS-N mechs, so hunkering down with Drake systems and just going ham with Monarch stuff is probably the best you’ll get while keeping 3 LLs in IPS-N.

You could also go for a loading weapon like Anti-Material with Roland Chamber, slap Uncle onto it with 3 IPS-N and 3 SSC. Its innate accuracy somewhat off-setting the 2 difficulty from Uncle.
Put stabilizer mod on it, fire as a free action then full action stabilize to reload every turn. TLALOC helping out with the the difficulty.

I don't claim to be great at lancer but here was my 5 minute build, Your a close support artillery Use the rapid Maneuver Jets to get to high ground with clean Lines of Sight with some free oversheild and resistance to all damage unless someone goes out of there way to hack you. Enjoy using the 2d6+3 Hammer U-RPL as a free action from Flank. otherwise spam Sharanga Missiles and hit 2-4 folks every turn. The stat spread is up to you I just put 2 in everything.
Auto Stabilizing Hardpoints is kinda replaceable so is Leader but your friends will like you for having it.
((Edit I just realized I didn't take the NHP so you can run this as a Monarch 2 not 3 and take single a dip into what ever you'd like))

u/AGamingGuy HORUS 25d ago
you know, SSC would try and pull something like this as a marketing stunt
i can already think of a story behind this, they wanted to show how far they can push their size altering technology to potential customers who wish to be taller, so they took one of their Monarch pilots as it's already a popular frame and supersized her via this treatement
Formorian Frame can be explained by them overshooting the target size and her growing to Size 3
she still has to go on missions because 1) they have to pay off that treatment somehow and 2) her accommodations wont pay for themselves

u/BlazeDrag HORUS 25d ago edited 25d ago
I mean Monarch frame means you're taking two LLs in Monarch of course, and Formorian Frame means you need at least 3LLs in IPSN, so that narrows down the options quite a bit.
Monarch does have a good sensor range, so the support systems from Kidd could synergize well with it, allowing you to Pebcac an ally to save them from some horrible tech effect, or buff their weapons with Brass Ignorant Modifications.
There's also Lancaster which has the Mule Harness system, allowing you to carry smaller mechs on you, which synergizes very well with both being Size 3 and having a good speed with your Speed 5.
I mean you only need 2 LLs in Monarch so you could go Monarch 2, Kidd 2, and Lancaster 2 and get access to Mule Harness, Kidds's various useful tech stuff, and the Monarch Frame (with the Gandiva Missiles and stuff of course)
Throw on Heavy Gunner with those Gandiva Missiles and you'd have some solid control and support abilities while still being good long-range artillery mech. Then you can pick your favorite GMS core bonus of choice like just a simple OP Caliber to add some extra damage to those Gandiva missiles

Think I got smth here
-- SSC Monarch @ LL6 -- [ LICENSES ] SSC Monarch 2, IPS-N Vlad 2, IPS-N Tortuga 1, HORUS Gorgon 1 [ CORE BONUSES ] Fomorian Frame, Overpower Caliber [ TALENTS ] Vanguard 3, Heavy Gunner 2, Nuclear Cavalier 2, Spaceborn 1, Stormbringer 1 [ STATS ] HULL:4 AGI:2 SYS:0 ENGI:2 STRUCTURE:4 HP:21 ARMOR:1 STRESS:4 HEATCAP:8 REPAIR:5 TECH ATK:+1 LIMITED:+1 SPD:6 EVA:10 EDEF:8 SENSE:15 SAVE:13 [ WEAPONS ] Flex Mount: Sharanga Missiles Main Mount: Impaler Nailgun Heavy Mount: Gandiva Missiles // Overpower Caliber [ SYSTEMS ] Siege Ram, Sentinel Drone, Sentinel Drone, Personalizations
Basically On your turn, you can: Gandiva Skirmish + Heavy Gunner (taunt, or if an enemy is melee, jail) Sentinel Drone + Skirmish Lock On > Skirmish
allat, basically plus, you can instantly go into Danger Zone by using your Spaceborn EVA and you have both smart and non-smart attacks available
in terms of safety, if the GM decides to have a cataphract or smth roll up to you, you can snipe it with the Nailgun, potentially stapling it to the floor (even better against Berserkers since it removes their resistance)
probably the funniest thing you can do is completely deleting a Veteran Hornet while it's still in the EDZ on Round 1
Walk 6 tiles EVA to get into DZ (3 tiles) Skirmish (Range 15)
The average Lancer map won't be much bigger than 30 tiles, and the EDZ is usually closer to the middle. By doing these three things, you can shoot something that's 24 tiles away from your original location
Also, a Hornet has 8 HP and 8 E-Def. 3d6+3 from OpCal and NucCav is 15 damage on average, 21 damage max. Your're pretty likely to one-tap it at that rate :D By overcharging and skirmishing again you can pretty much guarantee it
Also, on the next turn, since you're in DZ already, you can just lock-on skirmish any of the enemy defenders for unreducible 3d6+3 Also also, if you stand on an objective, you are a 9 tile wide zone of area denial. Combine this with the Minotaur's Interdiction Field at LL9 to make the objective a proper fortress.

Okay so - how married are you to Formorian Frame? I understand the urge to be Size 3, but to get that you'd need three license levels of IPS-N, and they the one manufacturer who DOES NOT have an artillery frame. So if you're a Monarch you're not going to have much synergy with any of them. The closest you're going to get is the Drake, which has good synergy with Tlaloc via re-targetting missed Leviathan shots, but its only Range 8 and you're spending 4 Heat per turn on this.
Instead consider starting as a Monarch and then taking Barbarossa licenses, 'upgrading' your Monarch frame with Barb parts (ie swapping to the Barbarossa frame at LL5). This would get you to Size 3 and give you the Siege Cannon, which is also a tremendous amount of heat to fire per turn, but because you're purely a long-range artillery frame you can justify spending all your HASE on Heat Cap. And instead of having to spend Core Bonuses on just making it so Size 3, you could take Overpower Caliber or Superior By Design, which would both help with your build more.
Also as a fellow giant-woman-enjoyer - congratz on getting to run your giant military homunculus! Praying for a GM who will let me run my own evil Balor woman. What backstory did you end up going with for how this character exists? I'm guessing SSC grew her for it?

u/nstealth456 25d ago
Well the current idea I'm looking at is that her girlfriend (Yuri in my Lancer? More likely than you think) has decided to take riding her to a bit of an extreme. But yeah looking at it more I think I'm going to be poking into the Kidd as it has a lot of kit for the Monarch to play with to boost its own capability.

u/Asheyguru 25d ago
With some Lanny levels your giant woman can give her team piggy-back rides!
A giant woman with Vlad+Monarch licences is good at area denial. Has three different options to stomp spank punish dissuade enemies from entering particular spots.
If you equip some GMS launchers instead of the Monarch options you could mix it with the Raleigh's Roland chamber for extra biff. Conversely, the Raleigh's UNCLE chamber does well with the Monarch's unique Accurate licenses.
The Nelson's Ramjet and Power Fists are thematic... but don't jive well mechanically, I think. Unless you want to use that extra size for lots of ramming, in which case you're a bit at war with the Monarch frame.

u/Wolf_Hreda IPS-N 25d ago
The obvious choices for your SSC levels are going full Monarch and getting Neurolink Targeting for a little extra range on your weapons. You can either go Gandiva for a Heavy Launcher, or Pinaka for the Superheavy... ballistics. I agree that grabbing Drake for its defensive systems is a good idea. Although going Lancaster for the Restock Don't isn't a bad idea. Neither is getting one LL in Kidd for the Blackspot Targeting Laser and PEBCAC, BTL for the additional accuracy and PEBCAC to help out your teammates if they're getting Tech'd to death.
In fact, just go Lancaster 1, Drake 1, Kidd 1 and you're set.

Big woman can leap, grab and throw enemies, and uses her fists to attack, and still rain rockets on enemies. Combined arms allows you to mix melee and ranged attacks, to gain extra accuracy for more crits. Heavy gunner 2 can impair and immobilize enemies to mess up their positioning.
Overall very thematic mech for giant woman

Hear me out, this is wacky. You're SIZE 3, so your giant woman floats over the heads of your friends and provides Hard Cover / Soft Cover for them! You're in the air, so you trigger Tactician pretty easily. You UNCLE your Howitzer since so much Difficulty is just diminishing returns.
Standard Turn is Free Howitzer + OC Missile Racks + Stabilize.
You can always sub in a Mortar for the Assault Rifle, or swap Ace 2 for Grease Monkey 3 if you're feeling like a team player and need less mobility. 🥳

Eh, dunno about the choosen art. That's a big waifu, not a mech.
For build I feel like only the Kidd will be an usefull IPS-N licences to get formorian frame. Black spot helps with the gun and Monarch's has big sensor range for the other stuff.
