* OddNameOut: Unlike the rest of IPS-N's lineup, the Vlad doesn't appear to be named for any famous naval commander or pirate of note. This is because the Vlad is a successor to the lPS-N's legacy model, the ''[[UsefulNotes/SouthKoreansWithMarines Yi Sun-Shin]]'', named for the 16th Century Korean Admiral who fended off the Japanese invasion with his Turtle Ships.

* MagikarpPower: The Balor struggles a bit at low levels because it requires investment in at least three mech skills to truly be effective at its intended role as a melee combatant: Hull to maximize the effects of its Regeneration trait, Agility to counteract its low base speed and Evasion, and Engineering to shore up its awful Heat Cap. If the player wants to do any hacking (which, with the frame's native Tech Attack bonus and the license's Scanner Swarm system, isn't exactly discouraged), it will probably need some Systems investment as well. At high levels, when it has the points available to invest in those mech skills, a well-built Balor can become an unstoppable, inescapable monster.

* CounterAttack: Rather than actively shielding allies (beyond acting as Hard Cover), the Gorgon's "defense" consists of waiting for the enemy to try anything at all with a close ally and then absolutely ''mauling'' them with its many, many reactive options, usually leaving them thoroughly impaired afterwards.

While all Lancer frames need to worry about managing Heat alongside their HP, this is something that's built into the playstyle of any HA mech, with just about every weapon and system from HA imposing either a self-heat cost, or having the Limited tag. Their core bonuses also play closely with this.

Heat, Energy damage, and Burn are three separate things; the Manticore has Energy and Burn resistance, and is incentivized to take Heat. As written, this example doesn't work.

Paired with a partner that can leave Heat-damaging areas (such as a Genghis packing HAVOK charges), the Manticore can stroll into the flames, charge itself up and immediately swap positions with an enemy that cannot handle them nearly as well.
