Hello there! I’m new to Lancer, haven’t played just yet but I’m working on my first build, planning to try it out in a few weeks. I’m unsure the way the rest of my group is building but most likely I’ll end up the defender/support, so I’m thinking of building into the Gorgon. In addition, I really love the lore of NHPs, so my eyes was naturally drawn to the Iconoclast/Technophile combo.

This is the working idea at LL6:

Callsign: NEUROMANCER

Hull: 4
Evasion: 0
Systems: 4
Eng: 0

Licenses: HORUS Gorgon III, HORUS Pegasus III

Talents: Technophile III, Iconoclast III, Black Thumb II, House Guard I

Core Bonuses: Lesson of Shaping, Universal Compatibility

Mech: CONTRARIAN

HORUS Gorgon frame

Weapons: Vorpal Gun, Autogun, Charged Blade

Systems: 4 NHPs (Enlightenment, Unstable, Scylla, Sisyphus) (5SP), Scorpion (2SP), Sentinel Drones (2SP), Personalizations (1SP)

I know TLALOC+Scylla is considered to be optimal for iconoclast, but I really like Sisyphus for the Gorgon, and Black Thumb Rodeo will help me deal with constantly overcharging and activating Scylla. Is there a better way I could be doing this? Anything I should consider with this build?

Just curious because I haven’t seen them yet

So, I recently picked up BG3 again, never having finished the game (got to early Act 3 with my Barb/Fighter). I’ve tried out a couple of main character builds, but the one that truly speaks to me is the Luckiest Halfling: Light Cleric/Divination Wizard eventually picking up Lucky. My only issue is the level spread, which I’m unsure of. Wiz 2/Cleric 10 would let me use Improved Warding Flare faster to protect my allies, but my portents would never improve. Wiz 6/Cleric 6 would give me more portents and a way to regain them but it would come online very late. Wiz 4/Cleric 8 would give me the maximum number of ASIs/feats, which is nice. I’m just unsure, so I was hoping you folks might have some input.
