	With the highest HP progression and plethora of defensive perks, the Goliath acts as a front-line bullet sponge for the rest of the team. With the ''Absorption Fields'' perk as the first perk to be available, the Goliath is able to heavily reduce any damage that it receives, giving it much more leeway to utilize whatever offense it specialized into. At TSGT he gets ''Dampening Shield'' which makes goliath more resistant to range shots, something that alien Outsiders are known for in LWR. You may want to keep some distance between him and aliens for maximum tanking benefits. There are couple of ways for aliens to kill Goliath, the main one being ''Critical System Targeting'' hits. Certain alien leaders possess this perk so treat them with respect. Critical hits can hurt Goliath so either pick ''Fortified'' or be in OFA. Critical hit + ''Critical System Targeting'' is the way you can actually lose Goliath~~. And lastly, in endgame, mind control is dangerous, as well as Sectopod cannons~~.

Goliath's most natural build is perhaps Grenadier, since he can tank in OFA while doing lots of damage. Goliath grenades are most damaging when he gets all the perks.

	He can also choose to go ''Sentry'' route, ~~potentially firing three times per round. He is not in OFA but gets hefty +%DR bonus~~. ''Sentry'' shots do not have extra aim or critical, so it is perhaps best paired with ''Reactive Targeting Sensors'' which gives +40 aim. ''Reactive Targeting Sensors'' will interrupt overwatch, which is somewhat anti-synergystic, but Goliath usually does not have enough ammo or can't hit all overwatch shots anyway. ''Lock 'n Load'' is alternative to rely more on overwatch.		He can also choose to go ''Sentry'' route, greatly improving both his offensive and defensive options.

	Another option for Goliath is ''Double tap'' -> ''Critical System Targeting'' build, excellent especially in first parts of the game. This Goliath can handle Cyberdisks and Mechtoids quite well when XCOM is limited with options. He does not want to be in OFA and has to reload so this is the least tanky build.

	The Sentry Goliath acts as a tank and damage hybrid, leveraging the combination of ''Sentry'' and ''Reactive Targeting Sensors'' to safely enter ''One for All'' while taking shots in the process.

Goliath's most natural build is perhaps Grenadeer, since he can tank in OFA while doing lots of damage. Goliath granades are most damaging when he gets all the perks.
