Matching the Solitare in weight, the Mithras is the Clan's relatively quick, lightly armored tank unit. Flexible enough from fitting in the roll of a ultra long range harasser to a close range brawler, all the Mithras variants are inexpensive tanks that are available at the beginning of [[TC]] matches. Be wary though, it does not have the armor to go toe to toe to with most other assets.

Matching the Solitare in weight, the Mithras is the [[Clans]]' relatively quick, lightly armored tank unit. Flexible enough to fit in the roll of an ultra-long range harasser to a close range brawler, all of the Mithras variants are inexpensive tanks available at the beginning of [[TC]] matches. With equivalent armor to the IS [[Harasser]], but with none of the speed and a higher profile, a single Mithras doesn't have much staying power on the battlefield. However, in a multi-unit fight a Mithras is unlikely to become a focus fire target, and can conceivably survive a fight long enough to pay for a better asset. At the same time, this unit gives much better than it can take, so opponents may want to remove its damage contribution from a fight as quickly as possible.

===Prime===
−
An excellent scout tank available with starting C-bills its dual ER-Medium Lasers and the CUAC-5 can deal respectable pinpoint damage to light 'mechs. However the rate of fire is sub-par, and the autocannon can jam easily with repeat firing. The Prime is better suited to cutting off weaker components such as arms or legs, or already damaged torso pieces. 1v1 engagements should be avoided, as at best it will only be an even fight. Rather, use your speed to capture undefended bases, and engage targets alongside your comrades making sure to use them to protect your very light armor. A free ton for an extra magazine of UAC5 ammo allows for greater freedom with the trigger, though can be careful to avoid a jam.

===Variant A===
−
With a 900m range and hard hitting power of its [[cERPPC|clan ERPPC]] aided by [[EOptics]], the A variant's primary roll is sniping. Its twin [[cSPL|clan small pulse lasers]] and dual [[flamer]]s serve as close-in backup weaponry while the ERPPC recharges. Though, it's best to keep your enemies at long range though as this variant can't take much punishment going toe to toe with another brawly light asset. If caught at close range against an opponent with laser weaponry, use the flamers as your primary weapon to overheat them. Battlearmors are also easy picking for the flamers.

===Variant B - ''"Black Sunshine"''===
−
A pure brawler, this Mithras can dish out some serious damage in an alpha-strike. Set to chain fire, its fast reloading twin [[ATM3#High_Explosive|ATM3 High Explosive]] deliver screen shake every 2 1/2 seconds while the trio heavy lasers bore deep into enemy armor with precision. Keep your aim steady to rip enemy limbs off in short order. Always use cover to close the distance to surprise your prey as the Mithras doesn't have the raw speed to keep up with the faster light mechs. Keep in mind that its armor is thin, rotate damaged sides away from your enemy to survive.

A pure brawler, this Mithras can dish out some serious damage in an alpha-strike. Set to chain fire, its fast reloading twin [[ATM3#High_Explosive|ATM3 High Explosive]] launchers deliver screen shake every 2 1/2 seconds while the trio of heavy lasers, 1x [[HML]] & 2x [[HSL]], bore deep into enemy armor with precision. Keep your aim steady to rip enemy limbs off in short order. Always use cover to close the distance to surprise your prey as the Mithras doesn't have the raw speed to keep up with the faster light mechs. Keep in mind that its armor is thin: rotate damaged sides away from your enemy to survive. This variant can be used as a counter to enemies deploying multiple [[Owens]] chassis in the early game, as the heavy splash damage of the missiles can damage the center torso of that asset no matter how the pilot attempts to shield with his side torsos. The Mithras B is an excellent cheap [[starter asset guide|starter asset]], allowing the pilot to save [[cbills] for their next purchase or, if donations are enabled, [[CBills#Transferring_C-Bills|donate]] to an ally.

 +
{{Commentbox
 +
| Comment1= The Mithras B is an amazing starter asset. Its weapons can be divided into as many as 4 groups, but function more than adequately when divided into just 2 weapon groups. Personally, I have one group for all 3 heavy lasers, a second group for the HEATMs on [[Combat_Guide#Chain_Fire|chain-fire]], and a third group for the one HML since it has 400m of range. If you want a fourth group, chain fire all 3 heavy lasers, it will give you better heat control on hot maps. Since it's a Mithras, driving it can be difficult. Slow down before turning if you are coming down a hill, you don't want to roll over. The B is great at anti-[[BA]] in most part thanks to it's [[PDS]], but also thanks to the splash damage from the HEATMs and the long burn of its heavy lasers. I often use the B to quickly earn a heavy mech after only a few minutes of gameplay. Mithrases are [[Points#Asset_Tiers|tier 1]] meaning they bring in extra cbills against almost any other asset. Mithrases have a low profile and can hide behind terrain that most assets cannot. When in a big fight, I often find myself ignored by my enemies giving me more time to deal damage and increasing the odds that I'll be one of the players to survive the fight.

===Variant C===
−
{{Section out of date|0.10.1}}
+
{{Starter}}
−
The only Mithras to equip [[GECM]], the C is the most stealthy variant available. It also is a dedicated close in brawler with its dual [[CMPL]] and trio [[CSPL]], easily surprising opponents by running passive radar for quick pin-point strikes. 3 [[HS| heatsinks]] help keep the pulse laser assault going for a good time before reaching critical heat temperatures. Reposition yourself often, using cover to help mask your different approaches.

The only Mithras to equip [[GECM|Guardian Electronic Countermeasures]], making it the most stealthy variant available. It also is a dedicated close in brawler with its dual [[CMPL|Clan Pulse Lasers]], single [[CSRM4]] and single [[CSRM2]] missile launchers alows it to easily surprise opponents by running in for quick pin-point strikes. 2 [[HS| heatsinks]] help keep the pulse lasers assault going for a good time before reaching critical heat temperatures. Reposition yourself often, using cover to help mask your different approaches. For added protection against enemy missiles the C is equipped with [[LAMS]] just be mindful that when in range for the LAMS to function it is also giving away your position. This asset is best served by sitting behind a brawl and applying its damage at the edge of SRM range.
 +
 
 +
===Variant D - ''"Iris"''===
 +
{{Starter}}
 +
Close combat 450m & less, hard hitting combat vehicle, perfect for cities. The A mounts the largest Streak missiles there is, in Dual launcher mode no less [[CDSSRM6]] with a mere 0.3 second Lock-On time to automatically aquire your target. Followed by a dual [[CERSL]] to work the armor off your foes or keep Battle Armor at bay. [[EOptics]] for battlefield awareness, two [[Free tons|Free tons of Ammo]] and only one [[HS]], so be mindful of your heat.
 +
 
 +
===Variant E - ''"Stug"''===
 +
{{Starter}}
 +
The heavy weight of the Stug's single [[cUAC10]] has it moving a bit slower than other Mithrases at '''84 km/h'''. The Stug's UAC10 makes it a medium range, high damage dealer capable of doing substantial burst damage. As the [[cUAC10]] shell speed isn't the fastest, hitting fast targets can be difficult at range. Thus, the E is best used against slow movers where it can really shine. The [[MG|machine guns]] serve as backup against [[BA|Battlearmor]] and can be used to harass distant targets.
 +
 
 +
===Variant F - ''"Fireant"''===
 +
{{Starter}}
 +
Any pilot with a steady hand should climb into the Mithras F and give it a spin! Boasting the heaviest single burst damage weapon of all variants with the scalpel-like [[HLL|Heavy Large Laser]], this variant will cut through armored components with ease. Bring your opponent into close range to feed them chain fired screen shake from its twin [[CSSRM2]]s. Two [[HMG|Heavy Machine Guns]] add insult to injury. 3 [[HS]] aid in your heat management. Watch the heat and use good positioning to surprise your enemies. Try to stay at the edge of the [[HLL]] range, and don't be afraid to run between shots.
 +
 
 +
===Variant G - ''"Gnat"''===
 +
{{Starter}}
 +
An [[extreme range]] [[sniper]]. Low [[ammo]] capacity.

===Variant D===

==Damage Type Modifiers==
−
{{Section out of date|0.10.1}}
 
−
A flexible unit at both longer and closer ranges, the Mithras D will comfortably fit in as a multi-role harasser taking on both ground and air assets. [[EOptics]] aid for laying down accurate long range laser blasts targeting vulnerable enemy components. It works best when supported by other assets as it doesn't have the outright punch that the other variants do.
 
  
−
===Variant E===
+
<br>
−
Based on the single [[UAC10]] as a medium range, high damage dealer, the Mithras E can do significant burst damage. As the uac10 shell speed isn't the fastest, hitting fast targets can be difficult at range. Thus, the E is best used against slow movers where it can really shine. The machine guns serve as backup against Battlearmor and can be used to harass distant targets.

−
An ultra-long range sniper, the Mithras G will lay down accurate hyper assault gauss rounds all the way out to 1250m. Fire its [[HAG20]] till it jams as it is designed to recycle more quickly that way. The suppressing fire capability of this variant will disrupt most opponent's operations, getting them to run for cover under the hail of fire.

The Mithras Light Tank is a combat vehicle that was originally intended to be a scout in addition to its place on the battlefield as a swift, light tank that is capable at all ranges. Its usefulness as a reconnaissance vehicle has been reduced with faster vehicles that field more advanced electronics. Capable of speeds up to 97 km/h, the Mithras can keep up with most units, while still providing respectable firepower with decent armor. Though that protection is only three tons worth, it is improved through the use of Ferro-Fibrous technology.

Matching the Solitare in weight, the Mithras is the Clans' relatively quick, lightly armored tank unit. Flexible enough to fit in the roll of an ultra-long range harasser to a close range brawler, all of the Mithras variants are inexpensive tanks available at the beginning of TC matches. With equivalent armor to the IS Harasser, but with none of the speed and a higher profile, a single Mithras doesn't have much staying power on the battlefield. However, in a multi-unit fight a Mithras is unlikely to become a focus fire target, and can conceivably survive a fight long enough to pay for a better asset. At the same time, this unit gives much better than it can take, so opponents may want to remove its damage contribution from a fight as quickly as possible.

Roles and Gameplay Hints

Prime

Starter Asset

An excellent scout tank available with starting C-bills. Its dual ER-Medium Lasers and the CUAC5 can deal respectable pinpoint damage to light 'mechs. However, fire rate is sub-par, and the autocannon can easily jam. The Prime is better suited to cutting off weaker components such as arms or legs, or already damaged torso pieces. 1v1 engagements should be avoided, as at best it will only be an even fight. Instead, use your speed to capture undefended bases, and engage targets alongside your comrades making sure to use them to protect your very light armor. A free ton for an extra magazine of UAC5 ammo allows for greater freedom with the trigger, though pilots should be cautions to avoid a jam.

Variant A

Starter Asset

With a 900m maximum range and the hard hitting power of its Clan ERPPC enhanced by EOptics, the A variant's primary roll is sniping. Its twin Clan Small Pulse Lasers and dual Flamers serve as close-in backup weaponry while the cERPPC recharges. It's best to keep your enemies at long range, as this variant can't take much punishment when going toe to toe with another brawly light asset. If caught at close range against an opponent with laser weaponry, use the flamers as your primary weapon to overheat them. Battlearmors are also easy picking for the flamers.

Variant B - "Black Sunshine"

Starter Asset

A pure brawler, this Mithras can dish out some serious damage in an alpha-strike. Set to chain fire, its fast reloading twin ATM3 High Explosive launchers deliver screen shake every 2 1/2 seconds while the trio of heavy lasers, 1x HML & 2x HSL, bore deep into enemy armor with precision. Keep your aim steady to rip enemy limbs off in short order. Always use cover to close the distance to surprise your prey as the Mithras doesn't have the raw speed to keep up with the faster light mechs. Keep in mind that its armor is thin: rotate damaged sides away from your enemy to survive. This variant can be used as a counter to enemies deploying multiple Owens chassis in the early game, as the heavy splash damage of the missiles can damage the center torso of that asset no matter how the pilot attempts to shield with his side torsos. The Mithras B is an excellent cheap starter asset, allowing the pilot to save [[cbills] for their next purchase or, if donations are enabled, donate to an ally.

Player Comments:
The Mithras B is an amazing starter asset. Its weapons can be divided into as many as 4 groups, but function more than adequately when divided into just 2 weapon groups. Personally, I have one group for all 3 heavy lasers, a second group for the HEATMs on chain-fire, and a third group for the one HML since it has 400m of range. If you want a fourth group, chain fire all 3 heavy lasers, it will give you better heat control on hot maps. Since it's a Mithras, driving it can be difficult. Slow down before turning if you are coming down a hill, you don't want to roll over. The B is great at anti-BA in most part thanks to it's PDS, but also thanks to the splash damage from the HEATMs and the long burn of its heavy lasers. I often use the B to quickly earn a heavy mech after only a few minutes of gameplay. Mithrases are tier 1 meaning they bring in extra cbills against almost any other asset. Mithrases have a low profile and can hide behind terrain that most assets cannot. When in a big fight, I often find myself ignored by my enemies giving me more time to deal damage and increasing the odds that I'll be one of the players to survive the fight.

Variant C

Starter Asset

The only Mithras to equip Guardian Electronic Countermeasures, making it the most stealthy variant available. It also is a dedicated close in brawler with its dual Clan Pulse Lasers, single CSRM4 and single CSRM2 missile launchers alows it to easily surprise opponents by running in for quick pin-point strikes. 2 heatsinks help keep the pulse lasers assault going for a good time before reaching critical heat temperatures. Reposition yourself often, using cover to help mask your different approaches. For added protection against enemy missiles the C is equipped with LAMS just be mindful that when in range for the LAMS to function it is also giving away your position. This asset is best served by sitting behind a brawl and applying its damage at the edge of SRM range.

Variant D - "Iris"

Starter Asset

Close combat 450m & less, hard hitting combat vehicle, perfect for cities. The A mounts the largest Streak missiles there is, in Dual launcher mode no less CDSSRM6 with a mere 0.3 second Lock-On time to automatically aquire your target. Followed by a dual CERSL to work the armor off your foes or keep Battle Armor at bay. EOptics for battlefield awareness, two Free tons of Ammo and only one HS, so be mindful of your heat.

Variant E - "Stug"

Starter Asset

The heavy weight of the Stug's single cUAC10 has it moving a bit slower than other Mithrases at 84 km/h. The Stug's UAC10 makes it a medium range, high damage dealer capable of doing substantial burst damage. As the cUAC10 shell speed isn't the fastest, hitting fast targets can be difficult at range. Thus, the E is best used against slow movers where it can really shine. The machine guns serve as backup against Battlearmor and can be used to harass distant targets.

Variant F - "Fireant"

Starter Asset

Any pilot with a steady hand should climb into the Mithras F and give it a spin! Boasting the heaviest single burst damage weapon of all variants with the scalpel-like Heavy Large Laser, this variant will cut through armored components with ease. Bring your opponent into close range to feed them chain fired screen shake from its twin CSSRM2s. Two Heavy Machine Guns add insult to injury. 3 HS aid in your heat management. Watch the heat and use good positioning to surprise your enemies. Try to stay at the edge of the HLL range, and don't be afraid to run between shots.

Variant G - "Gnat"

Starter Asset

An extreme range sniper. Low ammo capacity.
