Speed and maneuvering is its greatest strength, that's for sure. But basically, if someone shoots it in the leg and slows it down, it is boned. Very boned.
Otherwise, the weapons work fairly well, though the blades really don't work against anything with much armor.
If the Battle suits are Chromehounds mechs, then yours is Armored core style.
Hmm. Tavik, can you remind me on the design and features of the Halberd? Aside from art possibilities, there was a project I was going to have Anton do that seems to be doing pretty much the same thing with a different twist. It involved that plasma stake Anton was going to eventually design as its key component, rather than shoulder... blades. Whoever thought of that pun has to be shot with a marshmallow gun. Repeatedly.

There you go.
