If you’re going for a Tetrapod build, you’re going to want to go for a lighter generator, as you want to make sure that you aren’t as weighed down, especially if you are going to be medium-sized compared to that of a tank-sized mech. For this, you want to take the VP-20C generator. This generator provides a lot of rechargeability on the boosters, which, if you are taking to the skies a lot, you’ll find helpful.
For a melee build, you’ll want a different generator again. This is because your build will revolve around you being pretty agile with limited health, so you’ll want to take the DF-GN-02 LING-TAI. This generator allows for very quick recovery, and you’ll be able to whiz around enemies with ease.
