Juggernaut
Juggernaut
What they lack in stealth, they make up for in raw firepower.

Class Overview

The main problem with the Juggernaut is deciding how to kill the enemies: with a cannon plus the gauntlet's rocket launcher and flamethrower, there are a lot of options. Go Strike for close-range flamethrower and cannon destruction with Quickburn and Eat This!, or Siege to fire rockets and bullets at enemies beyond visual range with Fire In The Hole and Squadsight.

Weapons

Primary: Cannons

Secondary: Gauntlets

Heavy Weapons
*The XCOM gauntlet is an advanced device that carries both a mini-rocket launcher and a flamethrower. *The Rocket Launcher carries one rocket initially and that has a three-tile radius for its area of effect. *It may target anything in sight range. *Damage from rockets falls off from the point of impact. *The flamethrower is a short-range weapon that causes damage to multiple targets within a cone-shaped area of effect spanning 5 tiles wide and and 7 tiles length. *The flamethrower has two uses per battle. It does not damage mechanical units without upgrades. *The flamethrower has a 60% chance to inflict burn and has about a 50% chance to burn tiles within the area. *Using either gauntlet ability requires one action and ends your turn. *Rocket accuracy is affected by the soldier's aim, target distance, and whether the soldier has used any actions already this turn. Low accuracy-rockets will have higher scatter values, meaning they are more likely to miss the target tile by greater distances. The rocket's maximum possible scatter is noted in the popup, while a value appearing with the targeting cursor will show the expected (average) scatter for a shot on that location.
This soldier is trained to use the XCOM gauntlet, a combination Rocket Launcher and Flamethrower.
Take Down
* This attack always deals 5 damage. If the enemy has enough armor or other damage resistance, Take Down may not always result in a kill. * Take Down can be used once per turn, and can be used with a dash only if used as the first action. * Unlike Take Under, Take Down does not rely on a melee weapon. Human soldiers will use the stock of their gun, and certain aliens will throw a punch or slash with their claws.
A melee finisher that never misses and does not end your turn even when used with a dash move, but can only target damaged enemies on 3 or less HP. Can be used once per turn. 3 turn cooldown.
Tank
* A Dragoon with Tank and an EXO or WAR suit can absorb truly ridiculous amounts of damage, especially if combined with a Plated Vest or Reinforced Vest. * The shield from Shield Protocol doesn't benefit from armor directly, but any excess damage that isn't absorbed by the shield will be reduced by armor. Armor can completely protect against small amounts of damage as long as at least one point gets blocked by the shield. * Light and medium armors provide one extra point of Armor, while heavy armor provides two extra points of Armor.
You gain additional Armor points based on your equipped armor.

Napalm-X
