The '''Harasser''' is an [[Inner Sphere]] light [[hovercraft]]. It has weak armor but helps compensate for this with a [[GECM]] to mask its movements, and a [[BAP]] to locate foes at a distance. When an enemy is detected the Harasser may outrun enemy thanks to its high speed and acceleration. A Harasser is the fastest ground unit available, giving it a chance to choose when and how to fight - by the time it is noticed, it may have already fired and flitted away. The Harasser combines its speed with very nimble handling, capable of out-turning the [[Owens]]. However, it suffers greatly on rough terrain, as the Harasser's high center of mass causes it to behave erratically and flip over easily.
 
  
−
The unique feature of Harasser is it's speed - unlike any other unit Harasser "boost" function does not create additional heat, giving it one additional ''gear''. This was made for easier control of this speed beast, as players were known to have difficult times controlling Harasser with its speed set to current boost level. Because of this player can move up to 116km/h of regular speed, and up to 163km/h with the ''6th gear'' for the cost of reduced turning rate. Careful use of the boost function can allow Harasser pilots to drive up extremely steep terrain.
+
The '''Harasser''' is an [[Inner Sphere]] light [[hovercraft]]. Very low [[tier|tier 2]] helps earn [[C-Bills]] quickly. Weak armor, extremely fast, flips over easily (use [[suspension kick]], reverse throttle, and wiggling the turret into the ground to flip back over). Let go of the '''[Left Shift]''' [[boost]] to regain stability and make tighter turns. Typically a great [[backcapper]]. Can climb very steep terrain.

===Prime===
 
===Prime===
−
The Prime variant is used for Mech support. Short-range attacks with fast approaches striking at a targets weaker back armor make it capable of distracting and lowering the accuracy of any ground unit. The pilot of this variant, however, must watch carefully that none of the enemy units take aim on the Harasser, as a single alpha strike from well-armed Mech can destroy this fragile unit.

−
The A variant is used for long range support. It's double [[LRM10]]s are able to inflict damage at significant range, while its very high speed protects it from nearly any attempt of an attack. The best method to destroy it is to approach stealthily on passive radar until 900m, and then to attack with long-range direct-fire weapons such as [[Gauss]] or [[ERPPC]].

===Variant B===
 
===Variant B===
−
Featuring 2 [[ERML]] and 1 [[ERLL]], this Harasser certainly offers a nice amount of long range firepower, that it can get into position with decent speed and mobility. However, giving its position away with such a nice laser show is it's downfall as well. As a few hits with most long range weapons will force you to repair, this vehicle is best suited for pop-up attacks over hills.

Amazing [[medium range]] [[fire-support]] asset. Excellent at [[arming]] enemies. Easy [[heat management]].

===Variant C===
−
The new Harasser C, 'Sparkle', is essentially a poor man's [[Epona]]. Surpassing some of the more expensive Clan hovercraft in raw firepower, 6 [[SXPL]]s firing continuously will easily core the most heavily armored of enemies. Sparkle will readily toe it with any light, most mediums, and, in the hands of an experienced pilot, is entirely capable of feeling any Heavy or Assault mech. This, combined with GECM(?), and enough heat sinks to fire for a good half a minute without pause, the Harasser C spells shiny red doom for its enemies. It is a significant improvement over the old Harasser C, which had a [[LtGauss|Light Gauss]] and twin [[MGun|Machine Guns]].

===Variant D - ''"Mr. Toast & Go"''===
−
The [[Harasser]] D (nicknamed Toast&Go for obvious reasons) comes with more high-risk than other variants because it mounts 6 extremely close range [[flamers]] which can easily shut down any mech that does not have plenty of heat sinks. Best used in groups this unit mounts [[BHP]] and [[GECM]] which lets it find a target at extreme ranges and decide the best route to flank it. A group of two or more of these units can be a real pain for any unit that gets jumped as their is not much chance of surviving once you flush your coolant even if you kill one or two. The only proper way to deal with this unit is to hit it at long range while it's trying to close the distance or simply have a teammate or two with you to counter any possible numbers the hovercraft might bring. It is still extremely paper thin though being a [[harasser]] so even if it's at close range any hit from a heavy weapon ([[LBX20]], [[UAC20]], or [[HGauss]]) can quickly make the driver change his mind if not he will simply explode right there.

Poor [[starter]] choice in the [[early game]].

One of the earliest NARC assets that you can bring into the field, it's potential is only limited by the lack of [[LRM]]s in the early game.

2 [[RAC2]]s bring a lot of firepower to the field, especially early on. Held back by only one free ton of ammunition, and demanding of strict weapon management, this variant can still lay down serious pain over a long range.

The Harasser is an Inner Sphere light hovercraft. Very low tier 2 helps earn C-Bills quickly. Weak armor, extremely fast, flips over easily (use suspension kick, reverse throttle, and wiggling the turret into the ground to flip back over). Let go of the [Left Shift] boost to regain stability and make tighter turns. Typically a great backcapper. Can climb very steep terrain.


Roles and Gameplay Hints

Prime

Starter Asset

A skirmisher, fairly good at hit-and-run attacks and disrupting enemies using chain-fired SSRM6s.

Variant A

Starter Asset

Poor choice in the early game on most maps. Helpless in close combat. Good fire-support starter in the mid game when there are active TAG or NARCs.

Variant B

Starter Asset

Amazing medium range fire-support asset. Excellent at arming enemies. Easy heat management.

Variant C

Starter Asset

Great self-NARCing fire-support asset. TBolt5s struggle to track fast moving targets in the early game. Becomes a better starter choice in the mid game when more allies can take advantage of NARCs. Group fire the TBolts if the enemy has LAMS.

Variant D - "Mr. Toast & Go"

Starter Asset

Poor starter choice in the early game. Flamers don't make many C-bills, so the D Works better in the late game when killing enemies for tickets and saving one's own tickets is more important. Overheat enemies with the flamers so that allies can kill them more easily. Take advantage of powered down enemies and shoot them in the back torso with the SRM2s.

Variant E

Starter Asset

Amazing long range fire-support starter.

Variant F

Starter Asset

Great skirmisher. Chain firing helps maximize screen shake and manage heat while group fire works better for hit-and-run tactics.

Variant G

Excellent mid game backcapper and somewhat capable skirmisher. Lower armor and higher speed than other Harssers (144 km/h, 216 km/h while boosting).

Canon

The Harassers were extremely cheap to manufacture, and were produced in large numbers, as they were incorporated into the Galleon Light Tank units within the Free World League. Its best defensive strategy is to use its speed. Harasser can run circles around heavier BattleMechs and making it a much harder target to hit.
