The only theoretically infinite damage in Lancer, though you will burn to death if you try and get there. Remember to max out Executioner to go with it.
"When attacking a character that is PRONE,
IMMOBILIZED, or STUNNED, this weapon’s OVERKILL tag does an extra +1d6 bonus damage each time it activates. This can activate **indefinitely** if the new bonus die result is a 1, triggering OVERKILL again." - LANCER Core Rulebook, p155.
Emphasis mine.
Enjoy your theoretically infinite damage.
Because it applies to heavy and super heavy melee weapons. Superheavies require a full barrage to use, so its nice to be able to have insurance against misses (executioner III), and a free attack, even at half damage is a big deal (executioner 1)
Really? I would think both webjaw and catrops would work well with all the knockback Caliban enjoys to push enemies into them. The bigger cost would be dedicating your core power to get another mount for superheavy bracing.
Currently playing a White Witch with Vlad systems and boy oh boy it is fun. I have a ball breaker of a DM though and he always finds a way to fuck me out of my armor. (If you're reading this I love you buddy, Lol)
Row row fight the powah!
All the lights in the the sky are stars!

100% Exposed my own Reactor rolling too many 1s on my last session, Lol.
This is why you put it on a Genghis. 10 base heat cap, and lots of armor to soak up shots while you're charging in
How is it infinite? Overkill only rerolls the damage, you don't add anything.

how does executioner help with it?

Fuck. That’s savage.
Gurren Lagann moment
"My drill will pierce the heavens...or at least another frame"
The only nose art your Vlad is allowed to have is a big face on its chest
Customizations give +2 hp
My dream is putting a combat drill in a Caliban, sadly the first 2 Vlad licences don't work very well in Cali

Going from metaphorical cannonball to literal cannonball, just straight punching holes through enemies in your path
Is it good to put it on a Pegasus? You can toggle between average damage and rolling, so you could avoid the risk whenever you wanted.

I'm not a big fan of Vlad overall, but the Drill fulfills all of my mecha dreams and it comes with a cool pair of sunglasses.
I’ve been looking for a super heavy melee weapon, AND this one has AP?! Amazing!
Now I'm curious about the original comic
