	This ~~MEC's function~~ is ~~simple -~~ draw enemy fire and absorb damage, while the rest of your squad deals with the enemy. ~~Put it in a~~ MEC~~-5 suit to maximize HP (+24) and DR (+2~~.~~5), while~~ the ~~'''Extra Conditioning''' perk adds another +4 HP.~~ Steadfast ~~will keep your Goliath from panicking and inadvertently causing a panic chain. Equip an Alloy Carbide Plating and a Core Armoring~~ for an ~~additional +6 HP and immunity to critical hits. Don't equip Tactical Sensors or~~ a ~~Battle Computer, as these will raise the Goliath's evasion and may cause your enemies to target other members of your squad~~. Even though the Goliath's low aim make its primary weapon quite unreliable at mid to long ranges, you can give it a more supportive role by equipping a Holo-Targeter. For secondary weapons consider bringing a grenade launcher or two to destroy enemy cover while in One For All position. ~~A Flamethrower or a Kinetic Strike Module can be useful~~ on ~~close-quarter maps.~~		\|Power Ranks=all perks give tank
	~~For a tanky '''HEAT Ammo''' MEC build check out the '''[[Valkyrie~~ (~~Long War~~)~~\|Valkyrie]]'''~~, which ~~has a much better aim progression and some excellent Overwatch perks~~.		\|Description=This is it. The tankiest unit XCom can possibly field. When properly fitted it takes multiple turns of heavy, concentrated fire to bring this monster down. Use this to draw enemy fire and absorb damage while the rest of your squad deals with the enemy. Never equip any item that increases defense or enemies may ignore the MEC entirely. For more utility at the cost of some tank Steadfast can be dropped for Flush, though this makes an Alien Trophy a necessary item.
			\|Strategic Analysis=Even though the Goliath's low aim make its primary weapon quite unreliable at mid to long ranges, you can give it a more supportive role by equipping a Holo-Targeter. For secondary weapons consider bringing a grenade launcher or two to destroy enemy cover while in One For All position for extra DR. Furthermore while this MEC is indeed an absolute behemoth it has the same Achilles’ Heel as any other mechanized unit, HEAT. HEAT warheads and even ammo is occasionally found on some Alien pod leaders (especially Heavy Floaters), and can deal a nasty chunk of damage if not dealt with decisively. Also be wary of Acid which will shred off most of your DR temporarily.

			\|Boost=+11 will, +4 aim, +1 mobility
	~~GSGT: '''~~Damage Control~~'''~~		\|Strength=strong tank, single-handedly nullifies and dispatches melee units
			\|Weakness=struggles to find utility against non-melee enemies

			\|Loadout=Heavy Exo Suit, Core Armoring, Alien Trophy, Holo-Targeter
	This MEC is designed to fight Chryssalids and Berserkers who charge at it, or to get right next to enemies and then punish them if they take any actions. Unlike the ~~'''[[Marauder (Long War)\|~~Marauder~~]]'''~~, the Goliath has access to ~~'''~~Covering Fire~~'''~~, allowing it to shoot an enemy that attempts to attack at melee range rather than only when the enemy moves within CCS range. ~~'''~~Advanced Fire Control~~'''~~ is not needed since your Goliath will be firing at close range and AFC won't make a difference against melee enemies with ~~'''~~Lightning Reflexes~~'''~~, which you still need to be wary of. ~~Equip this Goliath with Alloy Carbide Plating and a Core Armoring for survivability; you may also wish to equip an Alien Trophy on this MEC to ensure it doesn't panic against a Berserker's Intimidate.~~ A Flamethrower and/or Kinetic Strike Module will be ideal for this build, depending on what you are facing.		\|Power Ranks=TSG for tank, MSG for dmg

			\|Strategic Analysis=Melee enemies will always run toward and attack the closest enemy, so simply keep this MEC between them and the rest of your squad. While this soldier does generally dispatch of Chryssalids easily, if a Chryssalid’s attack does connect if can apply acid which will cut into your tank significantly. Consider softening them up with explosives even if you need the Goliath to solo the pod for a turn. Always bring this soldier on terror missions, as it absolutely blasts through terror missions with large numbers of Chryssalid/Zombie pods.
