Dev Diary - Falcon

 Welcome back for another look into the characters of Mechanized Corps: Rebirth. This week is Jin 'Falcon' Tanaka. A former scout for the Tokyo Defense Force.

Starting off with Falcon, she's a scout, named after a bird and likes lighter MCs (scout and infantry). So I was really given the impression of her that she can move around freely. I kept her builds light and fast. She's tier one with no favored weapons so I made sure she had a number of different weapon options across her builds.

As you can see, I went with a blue color with a light camo all over. No secondary color. This was representative of a cloudy sky. It was also slightly influenced by "Predator" who was one of the old bots. She's also pretty distinct on the battlefield.

In terms of speed she is one of the all around fastest pilots. I kept all of her builds on the high end. Even her Assault MC has a speed of 90. Which puts it on the high end even for smaller chassis.

With the current bot AI, it does make her slightly weak from an armor perspective. However she's actually over-performing as a T1 pilot. Since the player also takes a T1 slot on the team this is very good because it also means she's performing well on the losing team.

Ideally we could improve her AI by making her stay near allies to support them with hit and run tactics, she could stay alive even longer and have a higher damage output. Her builds are sort of in alignment with mine, as I enjoy being able to move out of fights to pick and choose where and when I engage.

As always, until next time. Happy Hunting!
