How do you even get Evasion that high?
For anything sub 60, an evasion rating of 300 is usually good enough to be untouchable.
How to build an untouchable mech: (note some farming required)
1. Go with light mechs, they start with 100. I personally prefer AS150, as their Overdrive adds more evasion, and lowers cooldowns. The default light armor has Evasion IX, which is ok, but you can farm better.
2. Deck your toons in C&C armor once you reach AM5. It has Treasure sensor on it. Each point of TS = +1% chance for any item on a mobs loot table to drop. Cumulative, stacks to 100.
3. Find a Xeno camp with a ton of puges and light skells. I like the camp in Oblivia near Aary Plain with 50-60 mechs, but if it's too strong, you can find some level 40 camps in Sylvalum (the one by the Mech 5 node in the upper left is good)
4. Grind that camp. With the TS gear, you'll be shocked seeing that almost everything drops 1-2 pieces of Skell gear, often yellow if not orange. Hold onto anything with evasion on it.You should be able to farm a near complete set of light mech armor that has evasion + other stuff on it
5. The Vespers at Cleansing Spring in Sylvalum are insta repop (Thanks someone from gamefaqs), making them easy farm for Black Fog Deposits with a Phoenix. Stand in the middle and chain cast. You can make dirt cheap Spec.Eva.V's for armor, and Boost.V's (I think these need some other junk but it's easy to farm) for the frame.
6. Buy the 152 shields from the Vendor that have Eva VI on them (the 152's have evasion up as their aura). Use the black fog deposits to push them to Eva IX.
Assembly.
1. Put on a full set of farmed Yellow Eva armor
2. Put a Spec V eva in all armor slots.
3. Install the 152 shields
4. You can put any weapon you like in for shoulders/back.
5. Pick Sidearms and Spare Weapons that have 1 evasion type on them as minimum.
6. Install 3 Boost.Eva.V.'s in the frame.
7. Start to min/max. Evasion 300 = good enough for level sub level 60 work, Evasion 400 = good enough for most non-super bosses.
- I personally drop one Spec.EvaV for a Spec.HpMax XX (really easy to farm/make, just AOE the pig farms at the xeno camps in Primordia)
- You do want your skells to do some damage, so try to mix in as much other stats as you can. Gold stats = Attribute damage, Crit ups, Position, Hp up. Melee/RAnge attack is trash when it comes to skells. I like to focus on one damage type. Beam, Thermal, Gravity, and Electric are all viable builds.
