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
Sacrificing armor and electronics to become the ultimate non-mech ground-based back capper, this variant features an upsized engine that allows it to outpace practically every other asset in game. The G clocks in at 144 km/h (216 km/h while boosting). Its twin SRM6 launchers may make it seem undergunned, but they pack an extremely painful punch capable of posing a moderate threat to starter assets and allow the G to get in some good damage in late game team fights where it is likely to be ignored.
Due to its weaker armor and higher speeds, this variant should never stay still and always exploit its high speed to dodge incoming fire. Hit and run tactics are essential for utilizing this variant to its fullest potential. It is advised to avoid using the boost when making sharp turns, entering water, and uneven terrain as the G is easily flipped upside down.
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.
