The Sphinx is a hard-hitting heavy ’Mech worthy of its Spirit Cat heritage. This amazing ’Mech is fast, well-armored and features massive damage output both at range and in close combat. Its deep combat dial and forgiving heat dial promise it battlefield longevity. Players fielding this ’Mech should be concerned about its high point cost. At 255 points, supporting the Sphinx will be a challenge in a standard game. Besides its high point cost, its lack of ballistic weapons is only marginally offset by its quintuple energy attack capabilities when targeting infantry units. Against infantry, it’s better to be in base contact where Marat’s Rapid Strike abilities can be brought to bear.
