Best titan for solo attrition.

Im talking xbone casual try hard, solo grinding atttition, playing noobs and going for highscores.

The key to getting high scores, in my experience, is maintaining titan control and having long titan runs. I do this by playing hit and run, with focus on survival and titan killing.

Heres my vote for best mech for the job: Stryder, cluster, smoke, dash quick charge, 40 mil, core accelerator.

Justification: *Stryder is the best solo titan v titan. Higher speed gives an edge in heads up fights by generally granting control of when to engage or flee. *Stryder is the least vulnerable to being caught out of position by multiple enemies. *Stryder is easiest to coordinate with randoms for team titan fights. It can flank, defend or fall behind team mates the quickest. *Stryder can farm minions fastest. *Stryder has the easiest time evading pilot anti-titan weapons. In particular pesky archer missles. Stryder focus on recharging sheild lets them both survive longer and give away less titan build time than other chassis.

*Cluster and smoke are the best choices for area control, making them great defensive tools while moble, and amplifying the stryders advantages. Have long titan runs, get high scores. *Cluster and smoke have the highest potential dps for max noob cleanup. *Cluster and smoke are both anti-rodeo.

*Dash quick charge amplifies stryder advantage. Effectively a move speed increase which is invaluable. Who wants nuke eject when no one can catch and kill you anyway?

I feel weapon choice is less important than the above.

*40 mil is a straight forward titan slayer. Thining out enemy titans is priority one on any long titan run. Plays well in the hit and run roll, and has immense dps potential with crit hits. *40 mil is not the easiest to hit infantry with, but can deliver results with mindful aim.

*Arc cannon is a strong contender with reliable minion and pilot culling, strength in a hit and run style, but lacking a little of the flexibility and v titan dps of the 40 mil.

*My opinion on the tier 2 kit isn't as strong. I favor core acell with the intention of using dash core to safely kill or cripple the next titan encounted, rather than saving it for optimal situations. Also getting dash core up before other titans drop is a good way to exploit being first to fall, and maintain titan control. *Big punch is too slow for my tastes. Normal punch is much easier to quickly knock titans back into clusters and/or smoke, bread and butter for quickly crushing noobs in heavier chassis.

Whats your vote for best solo try hard attrition titan and why?
