The second smallest of the Clan mechs, the Shadow Cat is a powerful and
versatile design that can hold its own against all the other light and medium mechs in the
game. It has good speed, a good number of weapons slots with excellent distribution,
nice component options, and the second-best free tonnage to weight ratio in the game.
The mech is best suited for beam and missile weapons, but
by virtue of its set of three omni slots, it is not limited to highly specific
configurations. Like the Chimera, it can carry any weapon in the game. Unlike the
Hellspawn, it has no standalone slots; it can carry two three-slot weapons and three
two-slot weapons. Properly outfitted, this mech is capable of deadly salvos.
