Honestly the way you present frames gives the vibe of you being an in universe mercenary or something telling the newbies about what kind of horrors they might be piloting and/or fighting
I literally have a headcanon that HA's primary countermesure to the basalisk is just a masive censor bar over the basalisk whenever a comp-con detects it. even while it's off.
@NoOne-us9os the joke, to me at least, is that it's the funniest, the stupidest, and also probably the most effective countermeasure. Like intern pitching this in the board meeting levels of stupid but it works.
Horus mechs are just uniquely horrible for infantry. Each one of them has it's own horrible fate for the 1 HP ground pounder that comes near it. Thanks for the video.
Scylla sounds like such a good one to add into a build for a player wanting to build a mech focused on being a tank with a lot of defensive options. Imagine throwing these gorgon parts in with a bunch of area denial stuff, you could become such a massive menace. Especially if then you got a guy with a goblin dedicated to being just as big a nuisance in a more offensive manner, with one or two who just built their kits around maximum pain. Gorgon, Goblin, Blackbeard, and Genghis would be a TERRIFYING combination even in just a LL3 being the highest for a party
I really love how in depth you get about both the mechanics and the lore. It’s like dragonkid’s trashtalk series was for being introduced to lancer and it’s mechs, and then your series has been great for really understanding it, as well as the lore behind the mechs. Really cool stuff!
I never actually thought about what the vorpal gun looks like so that is a very fascinating take and with what you've presented, I gotta say I am convinced! Also, love those last few seconds ;)
The Metastatic/Basilisk proccing off their attack is HUGE - I had a moment where a big scary breacher ran at me, failed its Systems save against the Basilisk, stunned. Skips that turn and its next turn. It's still there and comes in again, rolls a 2 to hit and ... Oh my god I've functionally tanked four turns of enemy damage for 0 health and one quick action??? and that quick action still gets a chance to stun every single other enemy on the battlefield for 1.5-2 turns? and passing the Basilisk save just means doing it again next turn?
also fun Sentinel Drone thing, which I actually checked with Kai because it sounded absurd to me: an 'attack' is a to-hit roll, which means the intended behaviour is that if somebody drops a template in range of it, it gets to shoot for every single target under the template. You may be going "when will this ever come up? its range is tiny" and I gotta point at the Hellfire Projector -- we fought an Ultra Berserker with them and ooh boy.
Given the Jaberwak refrence, I head cannon that Silla Looks like Alice from Shin Magami Tensay. No, not the one from wonderland, specifically Shin Magami Tensai. She strikes me as someone who would blast you with mind breaking light just because. Also, the Meme light is quantum partial, multiple timelines happening at once type stuff, since it's the same light from the Ninja.
I watched unedited footage of the turbo neon vomit Star Citizen glitch. I can eye tank this. Speaking of which, the Gorgon is not a tank. It's a bodyguard. There is a difference. Sure, you're still expected to absorb damage, but the bodyguard archetypes put more emphasis on neutralizing the threat with taking damage meant for their charges as plan c.
Gorgan... the one who heard that sights unseen can drive people crazy... and then gained a protection focus. Oh it will rip everyone apart, but it is VERY PROTECTIVE for its friends.
I was gonna say “Oh my god, thanks to you I got into Lancer and I’ve been playing Solstice Rain thanks to a friend who’s GMing” but nah- I AM TOO DAMN DISTRACTED BY THAT GORGON DUMPY
I love your videos, and this one makes me want to run a Gorgon in the next game I play, especially since I have a buddy that wants to play Goblin. We both love/hate the absolute horror that is to be of the goblin attaching itself to the Gorgon.
In terms of a pure form, I think it is the basilisk light, to appear to humans it would probably appear as a series of multicolored holograms. It is a multi parallel timeline thing, so it's only appeared is light. Also, the reason it doesn't hurt those it likes is because it doesn't break therm minds into other potentialities. When the guy who got it out of its metal vault said he was still in there, he was not lying. There was a real him, still in there. However, since it is sentiment and actively tarring at the mind with its teeth, it can just to do that. It only does that to people it likes.
I understand that people have a good view on this frame and its function but in a little stumped about how it’s spose to play out. Granted I haven’t played before but plan to eventually. As far as I can tell alot of the stuff it does takes a quick action to set up and then one of your two reactions to use off your turn but taking basically your whole turn to set up. Also the Scyalla NHP seems just like a superior version to the Monitor Module with some broader utility and reliability but largely making Monitor Module obsolete afterward but the vorpal gun just seems like the general best use for your reaction since it isn’t getting halved. Just to be clear I’m looking for how this works on a pure gorgon license and frame. Sorry if it’s obvious answers but it’s late where I am and I guess I was to eepy to catch them. Any and all knowledge is appreciated!
Hang on, i gotta rewatch the intro again. And again. For science, of course for the end of video question, i think the Scylla NHP personified would be a mix of a reptilian like creature and a werewolf, like some weird chimera type situation. To play off both the gorgon/basilisk motif and the pack protection theme
i know nothing about lancer lore but seeing the scylla ll3 thing and you saying its a protective mother type thing i am a wondering since its horus tech, what if the ai for the thing took over and captured all of its allies mechs and controllers then refused to let them die. keeping in a sort of undead limbo state
4:25 ". . .what this thing is." Is it bad I can guess from the name? a-hem "The frigging mindbreak beam" after the explanation - Would "chinese room" consciousness mimicry counteract it? possibly not because AI is just as vunerable.
As someone who's been into SCP for a while, H0RUS using memetics is the first time I actually felt fear when it comes to thir experiments. Imagine if H0RUS weaponizes an antimeme....
Think of the Gorgon like a Hedgehog. You can totally stomp on a hedgehog. You'll regret it. And as Sir Terry Pratchett wrote, and as Nanny Ogg Sang... The Hedgehog Can Never...
1:46 Would have to disagree here, because Save Target of 12 (that you can boost to 14 with core bonus) is wild. It's bigger than that of a Vlad, the king of inflicting saves.
Very cool, but when do we get to do what we ALL came here to do and *CASTIGATE THE ENEMIES OF THE GODHEAD?* Because it's not really a Horus party unless we can *CASTIGATE THE ENEMIES OF THE GODHEAD.*

@@bohba13 It's so dumb but also more effective then anything else anyone's come up with. So they use it anyway.

All of their eyes melt out of their head from the gorgon just activating
If you can't out man the problem, and your aren't particularly well trained...a Horus mech being so devistating makes sense
The Humble Shrike Armor and Bristlecrown:
The poor, 1HPers...
What I like about the vorpal gun is how it references the jabberwocky poem, it's really fun
Wait, a vorpal jabberwocky is a real thing and not something nethack made up?
@@jaceg810 the jabberwock is a nonsensical poem by lewis carol featured in Alice through the looking glass

Gorgon, Goblin, Blackbeard, and Genghis would be a TERRIFYING combination even in just a LL3 being the highest for a party
gorgon, goblin, minotaur, *balor.*
Came for peak content about the funny mech game, stayed for cheeked up gorgon.
Edit: You have no idea how quickly i regretted saying this.
The greatest weapon of all: eye contact
speaking from personal experience, yes.
It's a good boi who wants headpats and you can't convince me otherwise
Great, now i can watch my favorite Content Creator before going to sleep
Saaaame!
The Gorgon turned out so well that I say we should put murderous parental instincts in more mechs.
I run a Gorgon with Sisyphus NHP. I love making enemies fail saves to stun them. I love my little eldritch monstrosity of a mech.
I really love how in depth you get about both the mechanics and the lore. It’s like dragonkid’s trashtalk series was for being introduced to lancer and it’s mechs, and then your series has been great for really understanding it, as well as the lore behind the mechs. Really cool stuff!
No epilepsy warning, it gives the full gorgon experience.
you played into the memetic nature of the Gorgon really well. fantastic job.
With all of your Lancer videos I think oh, this is so cool. End of Horus videos oh gods this is awesome I really wanna play it
My first character had 3 NHPs in a gorgon. It was really fun.
I never actually thought about what the vorpal gun looks like so that is a very fascinating take and with what you've presented, I gotta say I am convinced! Also, love those last few seconds ;)

I enjoy the Horus mechs so much. Every single one is just a mindscrew.
Zaktact is my go to guy for LANCER cause these videos are so good
Gorgon: “ Go on I want you to hit, Go On Hit Meeeee!”

Man, love how you do this stuff, you read it over, show pictures, and you just the right vibes for the right frames, love you and your work
homie, bless you. You talked about my favorite mech in existence
I watched unedited footage of the turbo neon vomit Star Citizen glitch.
I can eye tank this.
Speaking of which, the Gorgon is not a tank. It's a bodyguard. There is a difference. Sure, you're still expected to absorb damage, but the bodyguard archetypes put more emphasis on neutralizing the threat with taking damage meant for their charges as plan c.
Proactive vs reactive defense
yup. gorgon is an attack helicopter riot mom.
I love the use of battlecast vel'koz and og skarner
The Vorpal Gun might just be the light itself blasting you.
Gorgan... the one who heard that sights unseen can drive people crazy... and then gained a protection focus. Oh it will rip everyone apart, but it is VERY PROTECTIVE for its friends.
*DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY INTO THE APERTURE*
cant wait to throw gorgon into my playgroup as a boss with 2 lackeys
I was gonna say “Oh my god, thanks to you I got into Lancer and I’ve been playing Solstice Rain thanks to a friend who’s GMing” but nah-
I AM TOO DAMN DISTRACTED BY THAT GORGON DUMPY
Horus really is the star of a horror themed epsiode innit?
Thing just streams the "sticking out your gyatt for the rizzler" and similar brainrot directly into your sinapses as a method of defense.
paracausal vorpal gun with Walking Armory 3: "memes from my collection"
Peak just dropped
Ah, I've been anxiously waiting for you to cover my favorite frame, the Gorgon. Nice vid, man.
Now I just want a full song version of Eldritch epilepsy xD
Literally just finished binging the blades in the dark playlist about 30 minutes ago and now i'm treated to this. Fantastic
Max0r to this edeitting: "Pathetic"
Ah man, gasped at seeing this and almost inhaled my popcorn. :Dd What a lovely and momentarily hazardous surprise! Very fitting for this one, I think.
Look at the cognitohazard nothing will go wrong
Keep doing these - always a highlight of the week to see you pop out another video (granted I am biased towards lancer, but all your content is great)
I can't help but flavor a gorgon having a discoball head playing a variety of music; disco, club, anything you can dance to.
Thanks for the video, love your content! Do you plan on making a video on trench crusade, or maybe more old world videos?
I love your videos, and this one makes me want to run a Gorgon in the next game I play, especially since I have a buddy that wants to play Goblin. We both love/hate the absolute horror that is to be of the goblin attaching itself to the Gorgon.
These videos always brighten my day, thank you
O. Sweet. The spoiler at the end makes me look forward to the next video of lancer mechs. 😁
starting the year off strong with a traditional rock roll
Gorgon is the defender/striker that points guns directly at the enemy and dares them to try something.
"Do you feel lucky... PUNK?!"
illegal to be this early, the Gorgon is my favorite mech

Its cool how all the nhps are eldritch horror and scylla is just a crazy girlfrienf that will protect anyone who treats her right
new zaktact video dropped 🙏
My absolute favorite HORUS mech. If I was a lancer I'd be a Gorgon pilot for sure
This is great. 😆 I am really thinking of taking the NHP Sylla with the Lycan mech. So I can literally be the guard dog on the team.
The world isn't ready for a Gorgon with the Heavy Gunner Talent (please, I want it)
Vel'Koz being a drone is a great image!
I'm not the biggest fan of Scylla herself, but some of those systems make a killer suite when installed on a Black Witch.
Okay, you _got_ me with the ending there.
Nice to see another lancer video, especially on Horus. Quick question: Will you ever upload Actual Plays of the rpg you talk about?
Gorgon is my favorite Defender. Such a little nightmare for a GM, I mean, OpFor . . .
You've gotten me into Lancer, cheers!

I am now going to consider the basilisk a rick roll with so much generational trauma it causes ptsd in any who witness it.
love this one. but id be lying if I wasn't hype for your vid on the pegasus
Hang on, i gotta rewatch the intro again. And again. For science, of course

What a funky intro!
Pretty sure that's the new art for the vorpal sword from the DnD 2024 DMG, if I'm not mistaken
Ok neat take on the vorpal sword
Makes me wanna see the Jaberwocky this was made to slay…
Thank you for the video.
Gorgon if someone was reading the SCP files discover the concept of an infohazard, and then decided to make it much, much worse.
I don’t and probably will never play this game ever. I’m just here for the lore and Funny technological eldritch horrors
i know nothing about lancer lore but seeing the scylla ll3 thing and you saying its a protective mother type thing i am a wondering since its horus tech, what if the ai for the thing took over and captured all of its allies mechs and controllers then refused to let them die. keeping in a sort of undead limbo state

As someone who's been into SCP for a while, H0RUS using memetics is the first time I actually felt fear when it comes to thir experiments. Imagine if H0RUS weaponizes an antimeme....
pay attention when the Saladin video hits. one of the LL3 parts is a paracausal weapon mod.
imagine that on, say,
the Ghengis flamethrower.
@LexYeen oh, I know what kinda fucked up bullshit that is. I know I'll die quickly. Memetics are an entirely different kind of horror
My lancer campaign just ended and my Balor did an iron giant.
DAM HE GOT ME JUST AT THE END
digging these. sick listen in my shop while i build things
For some reason I want to play either a Gorgon with Ghengis parts or a Ghengis with Gorgon parts and play the DON'T TOUCH MY BABY pyro.
Horus is cosmic horror done right.
NHP SCYLLA = "Go Ahead, Make my day." = Clint Eastwood
Think of the Gorgon like a Hedgehog. You can totally stomp on a hedgehog.
You'll regret it. And as Sir Terry Pratchett wrote, and as Nanny Ogg Sang... The Hedgehog Can Never...
Also, love your vid and God Bless.
He protecc. He attacc. He (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾
when the enkidu show up i'm going to "hraww >:3"
1:46 Would have to disagree here, because Save Target of 12 (that you can boost to 14 with core bonus) is wild. It's bigger than that of a Vlad, the king of inflicting saves.
I saw that Evolve Gorgon :)
Dont talk to me or my goblin ever again
Next time on Lancer
Get off my lawn!
dang nabit we've been rick rolled!
Hey can the next B horus the minotaur? It's my favorite
Very cool, but when do we get to do what we ALL came here to do and *CASTIGATE THE ENEMIES OF THE GODHEAD?* Because it's not really a Horus party unless we can *CASTIGATE THE ENEMIES OF THE GODHEAD.*
He's going down the line of manufactures and alphabetically, so it'll be a hot minute til we get our boom lad
@reversedperspective2584 I'm aware, I just couldn't resist the Manticore gag.
it's Epilepsy time!
Спасибо, как всегда шикарное видео. С нетерпением жду видео по Каину!
I love my eldritch guard dog and my eldritch guard dog loves me
I dont have any problem with flashing lights but at 0:20 i thought i mey have a stroke
Bro I watch Maxor videos, I assure you flashing lights and glitch effects mean nothing to me.
worth the seizure!
Best ending :D
