	This glass cannon MEC unit should stay in the rear of the squad while lobbing explosives at the enemy from faraway. ~~The '''Bombard''' perk allows the Archer to launch explosives roughly 16 tiles away compared to the standard 12-tile range~~, ~~while '''Danger Zone ''' extends the explosive radius by 1 tile, resulting in a 3-tile radius for mines and 5-tile radius for~~ grenades. ~~This enables~~ the ~~Archer~~, ~~with proper positioning, to mine or grenade enemies outside of visual range (18 tiles)~~. ~~Take a MEC~~-4 or ~~a MEC~~-7 ~~armor~~ suit ~~to maximize the number of~~ secondary slots~~, and load up on explosives~~. If you have a slot to spare, ~~bring~~ a Restorative Mist, which will also benefit from the ~~'''~~Packmaster ~~'''~~ perk. ~~As far as equipment goes~~, ~~bring Tactical Sensors~~ and ~~a Battle Computer for increased defense~~, and ~~a Core Armoring~~ to ~~prevent incoming critical hits~~.		\|Power Ranks=CPL and MSG for damage, TSG for explosive supply
			\|Description=This glass cannon MEC unit should stay in the rear of the squad while lobbing explosives at the enemy from faraway. Mines from this MEC deal absolutely hilarious damage, but require support such as Flush or grenades to activate immediately. Grenades on the other hand are more reliable, but sacrifice significant damage and charge availability. A Mec-4 or Mec-7 suit should always be used for more secondary weapon slots. If you have a slot to spare and need the healing, consider bringing a Restorative Mist which will also benefit from the Packmaster perk. A Holo-Targeter can give some utility outside of explosives and slightly improve aim. Lastly, Tandem Warheads can be dropped for Grenadier if you value explosive supply over damage.
			\|Strategic Analysis=Always remember to deploy into One-For-All mode before using an explosive since mines and grenades are not arm weapons and hence do not break the stance, allowing you to keep the +1 DR (and full cover element) through the enemy turn. Also, never forget the flexibility of mines. Consider using them passively to guard flank routes, deny rush lanes, or even bait unactivated patrols into them. Eventually their beeping noise will become music to your ears.
