Welcome to the Clan Variants Tier List!

While right now there might not be all that many chassis and variants out there for the Clans, I still wanted to start a basic tier list for it along the same lines as the IS variant tier list. Right now, there’s only enough mechs for 3 tiers really (and not even that for all weight classes), but I’ve made unique builds for each unique variant.

Change Notes

Yeah, I had some catching up to do…

Assaults

Added the Marauder IIC. Loving this mech; not quite as powerful as the Kodiak, but it has its own assets.

Modified Dire Wolf builds to include the Ultraviolet omnipods. Those double-ballistic arms are sweet.

Updated Warhawk to take into account the new set-of-8 WHK-Prime quirks, and the new hero omnipod for dakka.

Heavies

Added Linebacker. It’s fun enough, but I haven’t been convinced that it’s powerful.

Consolidated Timber Wolf builds.

Updated a few omnipods here and there (nothing significant).

Mediums

Split up the Nova into the main builds, taking into account set-of-8s.
