Turning the Valkyrie Redeemer into the second coming of the Lady Death's Heel was impractical.
It may have worked in the simplified setting of virtual reality, but modern mechs were considerably hardier.
It took quite some effort to pierce through the armor of second-class mechs. When Ves performed some quick calculations and simulations with his implant, he realized that a dive attack with a weaponized pair of legs would more likely crumple the Valkyrie Redeemer than its target!
This was because the Valkyrie Redeemer was too light!
Ves would need to reengineer the mech's entire frame to withstand the immense forces that came from underneath. While he estimated it would be possible to do so, it would come at the cost of almost every other advantage of the mech.
