The field test thoroughly allowed the Larkinsons as well as other parties such as the Red Association to gain a relatively extensive understanding of the Amaranto Mark III Rev 2's combat power.
It was extremely good, just as expected.
"The lethality of this ace mech surpasses that of other typical junior ace mechs." Vector Loban judged. "It is not just that the damage output per shot and per minute is considerably higher than other ranged mechs of the same level. It is this novel combination between an ace mech and a companion spirit who has recently been promoted to the second major cultivation rank that results in observably better performance. It is as if an ace pilot is perpetually teamed up with a qi cultivating domain shaper!"
This was the benefit of mech pilots that acquired their own companion spirits.
