Interesting Squads

• Elementalists: Flame Mech, Lightning Mech, Ice Mech. A challenging squad for lacking of direct damage output.
• Pacifist: Ice Mech. x3. Ignores the HP values of enemies. Focus on freezing everything and blocking ranged attacks with self-freeze effect. Kazaaakpleth allows a push option and attack that works while frozen. Completes Flight Specialist and Mech Specialist.

Strategies

• Class Specialist: Artillery Mech, Rocket Mech, Boulder Mech. The versatility and damage output far outweigh any downsides of ranged mechs
• Mech Specialist: Flame Mech x3. They are immune to fire, synergize with each other, deal sufficient damage, and push.
• Flight Specialist: Because the flying mechs have low damage output, kills will be difficult. Ice Mech is very good when combined with Bethany Jones' or Mafan's shield. Jet Mech is not bad, even if its smoke will not do extra storm damage. Defense Mech can shield buildings, pull Vek out of position, or even kill with bump damage.
