Red Squealer Cartridge Help

Weapon Setup:
-Handy Bazooka for some Anti-AIR ability
-Viper Shield for Defense
-RS AMs for melee

Planned Cartridges:
-Capacity x6
-Boost Run
-Quick Boost

Planned Stats:
-25 STR
-33 WLK
-21 TGH

I'd like some recommendations for the last 2 carts. My initial choices are between Sniper Sight, Tough Runner, Blast Guard, Sword Guard and Sway.

There's really no point in taking Boost Run on Squealer IMO. If you need to go fast use Cart Step.

Handy Bazooka on L-size bots feels bad too. You have access to better weapons like regular Bazooka, if that's the weapon type you're set on you should make the upgrade.

don't take sniper sight

My initial intention with Sniper Sight is to allow some sneaking ability to close in and melee an unaware opponent since a gun will be part of the build.

if it's locking onto people that you're worried about you don't lock until your cursor actually touches the enemy so you can just look away for that

I'm not sure if Sway would work well, but I can see some potential in a hopping Squealer after watching a few gameplay videos. Would Tough Runner be a viable cart for hopping (to reduce stun since Squealer is a big target) or should I go for a Guard cart instead?

Get Sword Guard. Tough Runner is NOT going to help a L-sized LND unit.

Tough Runner increases your TGH while you're running. Since Short Boost is considered a dash action, Tough Runner is basically a wasted cart here.
I would take either Short Boost or Sway(I personally use Sway on a LazFlamme, it works fairly well, although Red Squealer is a larger target), Quick Boost(cut if you decide to use Sway because swaying does not use boost), and probably Sword Guard.

Take off the Handy Bazooka, and like Sugu said go with the regular Bazooka or some other one that Lands can use. Idk if you can use Large Bazooka(i know for a fact that Titan Baz and Blast Baz are out of the question), but thats also a possibility although it isn't great, or so I heard.

you should always get sword guard on melee imo

I thought tough runner affect half part of short boost, use it on gatling (semi)hopper shino

What, no

Sway on something that big when it gets Short Boost?

Hop-Cart step-melee-win

Roll for Handy Magnum Mod.

Or use a Custom Magnum.

Go negative TEC; you're only gonna farm with the mags.

Sway is not my typical go-to cart, so I have little experience using it. Sorry.
You can use the magnums above, but then you're basically fucked if an Air comes near you. With all the Akanes and Harukas(and even Seraphs) running loose, you might as well kiss your sorry ass goodnight. Even with a bazooka, you're probably still fucked if a Wing bitch or other Air decides to kick your ass, but at least you'll be able to return fire and possibly escape if you aim well with your baz.
