 ===Prime===
 {{Starter}}
-The Prime is probably one of the best Solitaires available. Its [[cHLL]] gives it a high-heat, high-exposure, high-damage medium-range punch. The Prime also mounts 3 [[cHSL]]s in its arms and side torso as backup weapons. At 4 [[DHS]]es, the highest number of any Solitaire, the Prime can only barely handle its heat. Being equipped with only heavy lasers means that the Prime is forced to face its opponent for extended periods of time denying the Prime the ability to [[Gameplay_Tactics#Twisting_and_Damage_Spreading|torso twist]] after each volley to conceal it's main gun. The Prime works best when used in concert with other mechs that can soak up damage for it.
+[[Fire-support]] mech with some ability to [[Skirmisher|skirmish]]. The long refire rate on the [[HLL]] makes [[hit-and-run]] tactics better than a head-to-head brawl.
 ===Variant A===
 {{Starter}}
-The A is also a hot-running mech like the Prime. Instead of a [[cHLL]], the A is equipped with a [[cLPL]] giving it a 850m range, far beyond the Prime's 600m range. For short-range the A has 3 [[cSRM2]]s. The pin-point accuracy of the A's weapons make it excellent for shooting off arms and focusing individual components, or killing [[Battle Armor]] using the SRMs in a chain-fire configuration. Clever use of the A's [[iJJ|improved Jump Jets]] enable it to kite slow enemies until support can arrive.
+Better at [[poking]] than the Prime, this [[Skirmisher]] can also use [[iJJ]]s to find a good place to [[sniper|snipe]].
 ===Variant B===
 {{Starter}}
-The most maneuverable ground asset in the entire game, the Solitaire B augments its blinding speed with [[MASC]] and [[JJ|Jump Jets]]. Using its agility to discreetly get into a spotting vantage point, it's capable of using its [[TAG]] to designate targets for friendly artillery units. Its main armament is a [[cERLL]] capable of pinpoint strikes to 900m out, a range . Backing that up are a pair of [[cSPL]] for point defence and two [[MG|Machineguns]] for long range harassment and increased protection against BA. Its weaponry isn't very threatening, but it's weapons are the superior choice for [[pinpoint damage]] compared to the C variant, the only other Solitaire equipped with MASC. It's not uncommon to see it as a starter in [[Terrain Control]], picked by players hoping to get the first cap. Its two [[DHS]] have no chance of managing the careless use all of its equipment and weaponry, pilots will have to sip [[coolant]], avoid using MASC, or occasionally hold back on firing the cERLL to avoid dangerous [[heat|overheating]].
+[[Supporter]], one of the best [[backcapper]]s.
 ===Variant C===
 {{Starter}}
-The Solitaire C is a [[flamer]] [[boat]]. One of the two Solitaires equipped with [[MASC]], and with three [[DHS]], the C is the faster of the two. The C can reach 212 km/h, nearly equaling the [[Harasser#Variant G|Harasser G]] and even able to keep up with [[VTOL]]s over short distances, the C is one of the quickest [[back capper]]s in the game. Pilots will have to be careful with [[heat]] from MASC as the C's four [[Flamers]], one [[cMPL]] and [[ATM3 (HE)]] produce quite a bit of heat themselves. While the the C is fast and its four flamers are absolutely terrifying for enemies that want to avoid [[heat|overheating]], the C's weapons are actually quite lacking when it comes to damage. Because of this, the C works best in concert with allies. Fighting 1-on-1 can be difficult for the C when facing a patient or skilled opponent who is capable of managing their heat well. Unconcerned with the C's low damage output, some enemies may even attempt a strategic [[shutdown]] to cool only to power back up and obliterate the C with a well-aimed [[alpha strike]]. In these 1-on-1 fights, the C may find it best to run to allies or pick a new [[post]] to capture. Pilots should keep in mind that destroying an enemy from an overheat will not result in earning nearly as many [[C-bills]] or [[points]] as destroying them with other weapons fire. This can make the C a poor choice in the early-game when [[rank|ranking up]] is crucial to mid- and late-game success. In the late game, the C can use its speed and its flamers to [[seek-and-destroy]] a target, soften it up for allies or finish it off when damaged, even without the rank or c-bill reward, a late-game kill of a high-value target, like a [[Long Tom]] can be extremely helpful in securing battlefield advantage for one's allies or securing the win through [[ticket]] loss from asset destruction.
+[[Supporter|Supports]] allies by distracting enemies and harassing them with [[flamers]]. Excellent [[backcapper]].
 ===Variant D===
 {{Starter}}
-What used to be a variant carrying an oversized [[LBX20]] was scaled down to keep with build rules and common sense. Solitaire D now carries a single [[LBX10]], not as powerful as its predecessor but always reliable. Triple [[cERSL|Small Lasers]] and two [[MG|Machineguns]] provide backup firepower for the mid to close range engagements it will find itself in, and are a collective nightmare for approaching [[BA|Battle Armour]]. Compared to the other Solitaires it generates minimal heat, but at the same time doesn't sport any heatsinks besides those supplied with its reactor. Forgoing flashy weaponry or fancy equipment makes it the cheapest solitaire, allowing the user to save up more credits for their next upgrade.
+[[Skirmisher]] and [[tank hunter]].
 ===Variant E===
 {{Starter}}
-The Solitaire E is one of the best snipers out of all light mechs. The E mounts a [[CERPPC|Clan Extended Range PPC]] and [[Jump_Jets|Standard Jump Jets]], which allow for very long range [[Gameplay Tactics#Poptarting|poptarting]]. It carries on the Solitaire tradition by mounting an array of close range weapons, including some 3 [[cERSL]]s and 2 [[MG|Machine Guns]] for hunting battle armor.
+Excellent [[sniper]]. Great at [[Gameplay Tactics#Poptarting|poptarting]].

@@ Line 187: / Line 207: @@
 While most Solitaires opt for dropping a high alpha strike and scurrying out of the fray, this one has significantly more sustain with its [[UAC5]] enabling it to have significantly higher DPS, especially coupled with its fast recycling [[SSRM2]]s assisting in close engagements. A single [[cERML]] keeps the Solitaire's burst alpha somewhat relevant at 700m as well.
