(Where it sits)

It is thin on armor (106th of 117) and energy (104th of 117) and shield (96th of 117), which is what a build has to answer for.

It ships with 2 polarities already installed, plus Madurai on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(Acquisition)

Mesa is a boss drop — every part comes off Mutalist Alad V Assassinate. The blueprint itself is bought from the in-game market. Skipping all of it costs 325 platinum in the market.
