Key Metrics

	Run	ACD	Heat
	Baseline	50.8	0
	Optimized	50.8	0
	Redline	50.8	0

Test Results

The LCT-1E3* has very weak baseline damage output with almost no opportunity to optimize (+0 versus baseline). This Locust variant rarely builds up heat and is extremely easy to manage.

Key Metrics

	Damage/Hit	5.0
	Critical Hits	1.1 per Game
	Time to Kill	24.0 Turns

Test Results

The LCT-1E3* deals just below average damage per hit, very rarely generates a critical chance and lacks the capability to bring down targets.
