Greetings, Commanders!
Today we’re examining the Leadslug, a Ballistic-Class Mech manufactured by Sebika Ballistics. Its devastating shotguns unleash a ferocious spread of piercing rounds, causing destruction to anything in its path.
BASE STATS
- Health: 500
- Armor: 0
- Repair: 0
- Movement Speed: 15
- Damage: 15
- Weapon Range: 2
- Fire Rate: 120
- Weakness Damage: 50%
- High Ground Damage: 20%
- Critical Chance: 0%
- Critical Damage: 100%
The Leadslug has consistent stats across the board with respectable movement speed, health, and standard critical/weakness damage output. Its key drawback is it’s below-average weapon-range of two tiles, meaning this mech needs to get up close and personal to confront enemies.
It makes up for this with a high fire rate, ensuring that once you engage, you’ll be spraying Axis units with hail of bullets from its dual shotguns and extinguishing them quickly.
ABILITY PAIRINGS
As a solid all-round unit, the Leadslug has flexible options for ability pairings. However we do have some preferences within the three provided by your starting pilots:
- Archie Miller - Mech Jet: this is a prime choice since the Leadslug only has a weapon range of two tiles. Being able to jump in to engage your enemies quickly helps overcome any vulnerability from being exposed to Axis units with longer range for too long.
- Emilia Rochefort - Mechano-Arm: another way to circumvent the Leadslug’s requirement to get close to enemies is with the Mechano-Arm to help it tank incoming damage. This is a great choice which enables the mech to play a bruiser-style role on the squad and relieve pressure from your other units.
- Jan Novak - Deploy Mines: these are our third choice from the starting lineup. With a respectable movement speed, the Leadslug can get around the map well enough to drop mines in prime locations. However, these do less than the other two abilities to make up for the mech’s key weakness.
Overall, the Leadslug is an impressive staple of the squad and is sure to output plenty of damage. If you can keep it repaired or armoured-up throughout a run, it’s sure to pay you back by obliterating your foes. Stay tuned for more intel on the remaining mech models!
