So yeah, a cathedral-like machine powered by the vengeance of one Longirsu against the clan that let his sister die and appropriated her weapon for their own battlemech? Yeah, how about we push that weapon into range of our Links and let its power do the rest? And bring out the lesser Orphegels to reinforce it?

 

Sounds about right for the path of the World Chalices' patron pariah saints.
