Mesmer
Description
The Mesmer is an exception to the standard rule of the Nuimqol and their speed-and-skirmish methodology; it is a heavy platform designed for trading punches with foes at close or long range, and doing so with authority. While the Union does not yet have sufficient numbers of the Mesmer to deliver a truly telling blow to the Empire, both the Pelistal and the Thelodica are watching with interest to see whether the Nuimqol truly invest in this potentially devastating platform.

Common uses
Mesmer is a real powerhouse and quite possibly the most flexible heavy mech there is. The bonuses might seem mundane but given amout of slots and weapons Mesmer uses, they are strong and focused. In speed-fits, it can almost catch up with mech gangs and serve as a damage dealer. If fitted to dual or even triple-repair configuration, it can regenerate staggering amount of damage, being able to single-handedly defeat NPC spawns that'd bury any other heavy without support. That does however comes at expense of armor amount, high energy use and range. Once it's threshold for damage is breached it gives out much quicker and is vulnerable to neuting. It can also be outranged by other heavies and mechs. Nevertheless, it's a fine tool for a Nuimqol pilot, able to provide income and be very useful in pvp.
