The Ronin became a meme in my group when I was GM and had a Ronin reflect a missile back at a party member. So the Uno Reverse card being used on a missile specifically makes me very happy.
I made an Ultra Ronin. It was one of my mid-campaign bosses and... Let me set the scene: Olthos was a small world at the edge of Union space, and had a bit of a pirate problem. A problem that was an outdated Union planetary assault cruiser that liked to park itself in orbit above the barely-started colony and drop ordinance on anything with a thermal profile bigger than a steam engine, then extort food from whoever was left before burning out and coming back in 5 years to do it again. So the Colonists did what any fringe-dwellers would; hire some mercs with shares in the colony and hope they could solve the problem. Shenanigans ensued. The mercs managed to blow up the ship, but wound up falling down Olthos's gravity well riding on a piece of the hull. With them was a very angry pirate captain in his Ronin Mech. He shaved 3 Structure off the Tank, dropped the Melee striker to 1hp/Structure, and crit each other PC once with Overwatch attacks. Then the Hacker took advantage of some unwise positioning and made him walk off the hull plate and into unshielded reentry. He was a memorable boss, a bit more than the final boss.
My first game we had two Seeders on the enemy team and we knew they’d laid mines around the area. But somehow, despite being plenty paranoid about it we managed to avoid every single mine they had put down before the fight started. One player was literally standing blindly in between two mines, but hit neither.
I threw an Ronin Elite Veteran midboss at my three LL2 players. One mech in the middle of a forest, piloting by a girl who starts an open videocall to introduce herself before attack. They laught at it first, because of "Bring sword to a gunfight" and all. Than Ronin starts actually use her sword and they goes "IT TAKES 2 STRUCTURES PER TURN(it wasnt) OMG". And than Tortuga just kicks her into mines Dusk Wing deploys, and structure check hits on System Trauma>Weapon mount. I describe her with pair of swords, longer one in hands, shorter one in sheath, so i say they destroy the shorter one. Then it happened again, so Ronin lost all her weapons and try to retreat, but Striker in Everest challange her to fight with bare fists. She tried to hit Everest with 2 hp/1 structure for three rounds, while player kicks her ass with Brawler Improvised Attack. Was sort of epic fight, but not that kind of epic what i planned. My "lonely noble warrior" boss got rammed into dirt and explosions, lost both of her swords and was defeated by very strong hit in the face from an Everest, which she almost destroys in one turn and thinking what it was enough for him.

Not normally in the rules to do that. However, I once played in a game where the GM had us infiltrate a base and we were allowed to borrow prototype NPC mechs, and without the penalty usually assigned in the rules for running a mech you don't have the licenses for. So we had an NPC mech vs. NPC mech battle. It was fun and interesting, but not supported by the rules.
playing an Iskander vs. a Seeder you're essentially playing chess with your GM

Always remember: The Ronin can reflect ranged attacks back at the attacker and Apocalypse Rail is a ranged attack...

Grappled an ultra ronin in my monarch once. Dragged it through double javelins every round for 18 deterministic damage
Poor guy just got completely dunked on
That is big brain

That is incredibly hype.
This is some anime shit. You could make an animation out of it while playing some samurai fitting music.
@@hyko8355 'Atomic Bonsai' was on the boss music playlist.
@@VGM00021 Listening to it. Your player surely made some jokes on the space samurai and the scene coupled with this banger!
What is up with villains and falling off of things?
Jokes aside, that sounds awesome!
Look at that snazzy chassis!
Hooly hell, what a makeover
This video has instructed me to use Ronin sparsely. Wallflower's first combat (at least, one of the options for the first fight) has seven. Wonderful.
Enemy: *exist*
Solution: Kill it ASAP
Ooo a new look
Now we know where the patreon bucks went
Just got done fighting an Ultra Ronin at LL5....my god it was a terrifying fight.

I am here to request access to the song played during the Scourer scene. Specifically the “it is time to say gooooodbyeeeeeee” section.
It was from RWBY, that's all I could remember

Stupid noob question but can a player play as an NPC mech?
no
Not normally in the rules to do that.
However, I once played in a game where the GM had us infiltrate a base and we were allowed to borrow prototype NPC mechs, and without the penalty usually assigned in the rules for running a mech you don't have the licenses for.

Solution: Just. Just shoot it?
