Air and Earth magic are standard for most SC's, and selecting both bring the Moloch's pricetag up to a hefty 247 with FFF/EE/AA. While certianly feasible, I suspect players intending to use him as a SC and not a bless chassis will find other avatars to be superior in most cases.

He also starts with a high dominion, which is a point discount if you compare him to a lot of other SCs.

Starting with F3 is also going to give him a huge discount if you want to make him a fire bless *and* an SC (entirely feasible).

Lastly, when you are balancing, you can't aim for the top of the power curve or you will get balance inflation. How many of the available pretenders would be better but, also, how many would be worse ?

That's not a particularly effective build, since you can put only a moderate suit of armour on him to bring him up to high armour levels, and mistform breaks as soon as it is hit by a magic weapon.

To be fair, it's not a bad base, imo (could use one less or one more earth. Technically, he can summon earth to invulnerability (or just ironskin). Whether or not it's optimal, it is quite sufficient for the sake of the argument.
