Gameplay[]
In-Game Information[]
Relies on fancy footwork and precision fire to get things done. Meshing his combat style with a lightweight AC was a no-brainer, but its lack of armor plating has cost him many battles. He trains constantly to compensate for this.
Strategy[]
Sweet Sweeper will start off the battle by shooting missiles at you before switching to his laser cannon arms, which can deal a lot of damage if it hits, so make an effort to dodge this. As expected for a lightweight AC like his, Varna does lack sufficient AP and armor, which means he's vulnerable to punishment. His mobility may cause some issues, but overall his piloting skill is average at best, not to mention his laser cannon arms give him a very small targeting reticule on his FCS. So long as you're able to strafe in a manner that makes it difficult for his FCS to line up properly to even shoot you accurately, he should be of little problem.

Etymology[]
The name Varna refers to the largest city and seaside resort on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast and the third largest city in Bulgaria.
Alternatively, it could be a reference to Varuna, the Hindu god of water and ocean, considering his emblem.
