Yuichi Missing hellbringer afinity

[burnelli]

has anyone else been unable to give him a HBR affinity its the only one missing in his list and i suspect it's because somebody else had it before him, might try testing to see if the effects are still there but just hidden and report back

Some pilots are missing weight classes or mechs from their affinity list. It's a bit odd, don't know if this was on purpose or a bug. The combinations of skills available to some pilots is also odd, and why is Melee one of the two every pilot has, the Clans looked down on physical melee combat in mechs.

Mia has none for light mechs and is on purpose.

Melee is used by AI even if you don't use it the AI will use melee attacks unless there are no fists available.

A melee attack would eventually knock out a mech. In conclusion the mech is defeated as the pilot skull is crushed when the mech falls to the ground. We don't choose physics of the universe but they're working.

Think of it as pendle the mech back and forth until the gyro can't stable the balance.

Melee is used to kick the tanks when you walk on them. Still it would be a good thing if damage reduction could be made when kicking down a building.

It's not well thought out since the differences would be between walking through a building and fist the building.

When you walk through objects you deal damage on the mech. To prevent it you attack the object. It may not show but you do gain damage on the mech when you walk through objects.

To reduce damage to your legs the damage is transfered to the hand. It's technically a lot more practical for a light mech to use melee than an assualt. Since it's free damage and light mechs don't have 100 armor in the legs.

The clans didn't use melee as much as inner sphere and it's as well mentioned as barbaric. In some ways the clans became softhearted by only challenge their own mechs. But in desperate times when all weapons are gone you may as well start to hammer with your fists like a jungle man in lion cloth.

I don't think that's it I had Liam in a HBR with heavy and HBR afinity, after he gets replaced by Yuichi, Yuichi has every heavy afinity avaliable except HBR. I would need to skip the mech afinity next playthrough to check if it's an uninteded overwrite.

If there's anyone with a free afinity on Yuichi they could have a look

Naomi has no Timber Wolf affinity, either.

Have you played the older games? Maybe even mechcommander II lol.... pilots had affinities with different mechs/weight classes. It's so you try to give them the right mech to boost em. If this was RL every pilot wouldn't be the same either.

Wrong.. you must not be paying attention in EVERY game ever. You don't take damage unless things blow up when you walk through them (and some of the things are weak enough they still don't damage you. I've literally walked through things that go boom but I'm still at 100%. Unless your MECH parts flash you don't take damage...
