The Osiris B can be a struggle to pilot. Its damage output is low, it has three different projectile speeds/lead-times with each of its weapons, and two of its weapons have [[jam|overheats]] that occur at different rates. The goal of the B is to distract and disrupt enemies while allies do the real work. When close to the enemy, run [[active radar]] and shoot a few gouts of flame from the B's two [[Flamer]]s. Hopefully this will cause the enemy to shift their attention. Then run by at high speed peppering the enemy with more fire and an intense [[screen shake|screen shaking]] barrage of [[AC10]] shots. A few good hits with the B's pair of [[SPL]]s will cause at least some modest damage. Finally, after distracting the enemy and [[tanking]] for your allies, the Osiris B will need to escape combat. The Osiris is relatively fast, but most [[Clan]] starter assets will travel around the same speed, so the Osiris B can use its [[iJJ]]s to disappear behind hard cover (if any is available) in order to escape incoming enemy [[missiles]] or other weapons fire. In the unlikely event that the B is ignored, its Flamers and AC10 can cause major disruptions to enemies that are focused elsewhere.
+
Possibly the worst [[brawler]] in the game. Except for the [[SPL]]s, all of the B's weapons are focused on disrupting the enemy with [[heat]] or [[screen shake]]. The B should only be used in [[team fights]] where allies can benefit from disrupted enemies.

The Osiris is an Inner Sphere Light Mech that mostly concentrates on firepower and maneuverability. Advantageous 360 degree torso rotation helps spreading the damage, increasing the survivability of this lightly armored mech. Most Osirises are also equipped with Jump Jets, giving pilots more options to approach and escape combat situations.


Roles and Gameplay Hints

Prime

Starter Asset

Excellent skirmisher. Use cover while weapons recharge. Use iJJs to get behind cover.

Variant A

Starter Asset

Amazing fire-support mech with a very high DPS. When overheating, focus on using the more heat efficient SSRMs. Use the Osiris' 360° torso twist to kite enemies.

Variant B

Starter Asset

Possibly the worst brawler in the game. Except for the SPLs, all of the B's weapons are focused on disrupting the enemy with heat or screen shake. The B should only be used in team fights where allies can benefit from disrupted enemies.

Variant C

Starter Asset

The C variant mounts 1 standard IS PPC, which gives it impressive striking power for a light Mech. This is backed by 3 SLs and an SRM6 pack for close-range work. Thanks to its high speed, 360° torso twist and good range, it can be used as a effective harasser and hit-and-run Mech, well suited to kiting enemies at range and finishing them off up close. A brawler at heart, it may find itself outgunned by other units at long range, but dedicated brawlers can still overwhelm it if not softened from afar.

Variant D

Starter Asset

The Osiris D is capable of providing sustained direct fire support and limited Anti-Air duties- in a pinch. The pair of RAC2 can reach out to 800m, however it takes a skilled pilot to lead these projectiles against fast, light mechs effectively that far out. The bulk of the damage lies within 250m where the three Machine Guns sting in full effect. Focusing this deadly spray of lead on one component will make quick work of any mech that close, and possibly quicker work of ASF or VTOL; which RAC2 and MG deal bonus damage to. Osiris D pilots need to exercise caution, in combination with good map awareness and radar discipline- this variants thickened armor won't make up too long for a big mistake or miss calculation.
If fleeing from the enemy, remember to twist away the most ablated sections, possibly shooting back at him when navigation permits it.

Variant E - "Bear"

Starter Asset

The Osiris E carries a Light Gauss, its signature weapon. Two ERMLs give it some backup weaponry. This variant sacrifices a lot of damage potential to enjoy its range advantage- and won't be able to go toe-to-toe against more aggressive light 'mechs. Combined with EOptics, its iJJs and 1 free tons for carrying additional ammunition, the Osiris E is capable of striking at extreme distance and jump sniping with relative ease. The Osiris E pilot should always be thinking of ways to use the improved jumpjets to put a obstacles and distance between them and their enemies; and to keep an eye on the sky for pesky Aerospace that you can send scurrying back to repair with carefully aimed shots of Light Gauss.

Variant F - "Rudolph"

Starter Asset

Known as "Rudolph", the Osiris F is the most armored variant of the brawler trio, and even more brawl-oriented than the Osiris Prime due to its shorter maximum weapon range. In place of the ERMLs, the F carries 6 ERSLs which trade range for efficiency and fire rate. The Prime's SRM6 pack is replaced with an SSRM6 and this modification yields 1 free ton for carrying additional SSRMs. Equipped with Myomer Accelerator Signal Circuitry, allows it to very quickly close the gap and cripple other light Mechs, and combined with Improved Jumpjets makes it the most agile Osiris variant. However, half of the F's lasers are carried in its right arm, so care must be taken to protect it from fire. In addition, the Osiris F is the most expensive variant available, costing 41 000 CBills. It excels at the beginning of terrain control game mode, dashing quickly with its MASC and improved jump jets to take over capture zones.

Variant G

Starter Asset

A long range alternative to the E, the Osiris G is capable of outputting its, slightly greater but still relatively mediocre, full firepower from a less extreme 900m out. The E's shortest ranged armament is an ERPPC accompanied by a duo of Standard AutoCannons2, with its damage dealing potential split relatively equally between weapon platforms. Overall, the Osiris G is an effective long-range sniper or fire support Mech and capable of jump sniping, although it carries less armor than some variants and should avoid brawls at all costs. This short-range weakness is exacerbated by the loss of iJJs, making it far more difficult to escape dangerous situations and the fact that in order to use their full firepower it must run active radar, so the pilot should do their best to stay as close to the max range of its main weapon as possible. However, the event it's in close range the trio of HMG can be extremely useful in hunting down Battle Armor, or removing armor from an opponent.

Historical

Osiris Variant E with Light Gauss - "Bear" Named in homage to our beloved senior fallen comrade Bear, who in the battle of life mounted his trusty Osiris E on February 2022 and rode off into what would become his final battle. Rest In Peace old friend, the day will come when we meet again.

Canon

The Osiris was essentially modeled after the Clan Dragonfly and designed by the same engineers who designed the Anubis. While the limits of Inner Sphere technology forced the designers to skimp on the specifications somewhat, the Osiris does maintain the same speed as the design it is based off of with its powerful Pharaoh 240 XL engine. The armor and jump capacity are sadly lacking, however, as the Osiris can only jump half as far as the Dragonfly with its four Rawlings 61 jump jets and is armored with StarGuard Ferro-Fibrous. The Osiris was designed to be a fast, hit-and-fade style offensive platform and can perform well in that capacity with its awesome speed, although it does appear to rely too heavily on its mobility to protect it from damage.
