Overview
In this I will say what I bellive is the best type of ability and upgraded choices for assault mecs. (Note: This is my own opinion and I don’t mean to offend anyone. Please suggest what abilitys you pick for your mecs in the coments). If I find any new good combonations for differnt classes of mecs (e.g. Heavy or Support mecs) I will add them.
Assault Mecs
If you are going to turn an assault into a Mec, these are what I would recomend for that trooper.
Mec upgrades: KSM (Kinetic Strike Module), Grenade Launcher and the 3rd upgrade is your choice.
Trooper Abilitys: Deep storage, Jetboot module, Reactive sensores, all other abilitys are your choice.
Notes: Damage roulay is inadvisable as a second wave option. In the foundry (after reaserching UFO power cores (I think) you are able to improve the KSM by upgrading its damage by half. If you have any Mec with the KSM, absolute criticall is highly advisable as a second wave option turned on. It will turn the base KSM damage up to 18 instead of 12 and upgraded KSM up to 27 damage.)
